People recognised this in the middle of the last century - but then a lot of shady propagandists and 'think tanks' got to work - culminating in the world view of #LizTruss - a malfunctioning creation of #tuftonstreet !

The LGB Alliance "victory" in Supreme Court is another Tufton Street success in creating conflict on road to intolerance & UK fascism
We can win by smart, happy, humourous behaviour: tolerant cohesion looking after all

#Badenoch banging on again about #UK leaving the #ECHR. So tiresome! And irresponsible given everything that's happening right now. Was addressing #TuftonStreet mafia echo chamber that was behind #BrexitCarnage while being funded by #US far right.

#Streeting proposing weight loss jabs to get unemployed people into work. Seriously! No mention of benefits being made conditional [yet] but this is scary stuff. #Tories would be proud.

The Tories have left the stage but their toxic cultural legacy is doing an encore

From Oasis ticket price hikes to trying to sell off Birmingham’s art, the Conservatives’ market-first agenda still blights Britain
