PM’S UNION BUSTING
BREXIT was Vladimir Putin’s strategic goal so useful idiot Boris Johnson is incapable of repelling Kremlin influence in Britain’s politics and elections when he’s the most prominent beneficiary.
Roubles flow into Tory coffers and the Prime Minister who played tennis with a former Russian Minister’s wife in return for a £160,000 donation is politically kompromat.
We wait to see how much passes the censors in the intelligence report on the dirty deeds of
Putin and his puppets that will be published this week.
Glasnost isn’t Johnson’s style or that of henchman Dominic Cummings who went to Russia in search of a fortune during the 1990s.
The hostility to openness is why Downing Street suppressed the document for nine months, desperate to keep it under wraps before last December’s General Election.
But we know Moscow is no longer lauded by starry-eyed significant parts of the Left. Alliances shifted. These days swathes of the British Right are in awe of Putin, the authoritarian
THE gravest threat within the United Kingdom isn’t Nicola Sturgeon or the SNP but Boris Johnson.
He’s the unionist endangering the union, a Southern bigot as noisy and polluting as an unwanted
747 jumbo jet.
Fatally mishandling the plague plus insults branded racist – to be a Scottish MP is a “political disability”, sneered a Johnson who twisted the knife by asserting “Government by a Scot is just not conceivable” – are utterly toxic.
He issued another insincere apology yet the grinning reactionary – who as editor of The Spectator magazine patriotic white strongman. It’s why Russian money bankrolls the Tories, not Labour, and that pair of Brextremist plastic patriots, Nigel Farage and Arron Banks, expressed admiration for Vlad, happy to sip his vodka.
Labour’s sharp foreign affairs spokeswoman Lisa Nandy conceding Jeremy Corbyn “got it wrong on Russia” in doubting state involvement in the Salisbury poisonings sensibly acknowledged a costly error.
The former Labour leader’s misjudgment was an honest if naïve mistake compared with the cynicism of Dominic Raab, a Foreign published a satirical poem advocating Hadrian’s Wall’s refortification “to pen them in a ghetto on the other side” because “the nation deserves not merely isolating, but comprehensive extermination” – alienates Scots.
Johnson will be the elephant in the room when Cabinet Ministers discuss this week how to derail Tartan separatists buoyed by independence poll majorities and potential gains in next May’s Holyrood elections.
To save Great Britain a Disunited Kingdom must first be saved from the offensive English nationalist.
GREAT SCOT Nicola Sturgeon
Secretary attempting to muddy waters by rehashing evidence that trade papers posted on the Reddit site were hacked by Russians. Labour was entitled to argue the files revealed Trump’s US wants the NHS on the table in negotiations. Raab’s intention was more sinister, linking Labour to the leak to deflect evidence his Brexit obsession was fanned by Putin’s footsoldiers. Severing Britain’s ties to Europe is expensive selfharm in a world where Russia, China and Trump’s America First are assertive and a pandemic is defeated only by international co-operation. Brexit isn’t the phantom £350million a week NHS victory with a promised ticket into the single market. The £13billion bill HMRC estimates businesses face in border customs declarations alone far exceeds any £8-9bn that might be saved in club fees. Putin knows Brexit damages Britain and Europe. That’s why he wanted it. Johnson embraced Brexit to be PM. It worked for him.
The joint interest is also why behind Johnson’s big talk and limited action, the Russian President’s pleased he’s in No 10. That sound is laughter in the Kremlin.
NO 10 is increasingly anxious about a disgraced Prince Andrew forced to dodge cameras at daughter Beatrice’s low key (for a royal anyway) secret wedding.
Downing Street fears US interest in the Queen’s favourite son could quickly detonate into a constitutional crisis now Ghislaine Maxwell, his friend and guest at Sandringham and Windsor parties alongside wealthy paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, is in custody.
Tony Blair saved the monarchy after Diana’s 1997 death.
Boris Johnson could conceivably fail.
