It gets worse/stranger...
The Chief Policy advisor to No10 (aka Director of the Number 10 Policy Unit) is one Munira Mizra an ex member of the Revolutionary Communist Party (a trotskyist outfit that disbanded in 1997) she wrote for their magazine - Living Marxism and its successor website - Spiked. Many of her colleagues became highly influential in the eurosceptic circles of the Tory Party.
She worked for the Royal Society of Arts, the The Tate, then became development director for Policy Exchange (a Tory think tank), in 2008 she started working for BoJo firstly as Cultural Advisor, then as Director of Arts, Culture & Creative Industries, then as Deputy Mayor for Education & Culture and then when BoJo became PM she was appointed to her current role.
She has been a cheerleader for Brexit, has publicly stated that racism is exaggerated by people in politics, has argued against there being institutionalised racism in the judicial and penal system, is opposed to multicuturalism & defended BoJos letterbox comments. The ex RCP members of her network have wormed their way into the Conservative Party and have given a veneer of intellectualism to climate denial, aided AIDS denialism in Africa, been funded by and acted as PR agents for agrochem businesses (Monsanto in particular), developed an ideology to justify cuts to arts funding, regularly apologised and excused the worst excesses of Serb nationalism, supported and excused the behaviour of the EDL and so the list goes on.
The really worrying thing is she and her pals have the ears of not only the PM, but Gove and the rest of the staunchly hard-Brexit leading lights in the Tory party. Alongside Cummings, it is no wonder we are rapidly drifting up shit creek without a paddle to our name.
