Wonk/SpAd Watch: Policy Exchange Edition

Big changes over at Policy Exchange this week, with an expansion and a greater foothold in Downing Street. The think tank today formally announced the hiring of the whole Open Europe research team following its Brexit Day dissolution. PX also announced OE Chairman Simon Wolfson is joining Policy Exchange’s Board of Trustees along with Sir David Ord, the Managing Director of the Bristol Port Company…

It’s not just Open Europe that Policy Exchange seem to be taking over, with Downing Street’s housing policy in their sights too. Guido can reveal that PX Head of Housing Jack Airey is moving across to No. 10 as Boris’s new Housing and Planning SpAd.

The move says a lot about the Government’s future housing plans. Airey was one of the driving forces behind the ‘Scrutonian’ ‘Building Beautiful’ agenda – co-authoring the original Policy Exchange paper with Sir Roger that led to his BBBC appointment by then Housing Secretary James Brokenshire.

No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics. If our political elite were more than just yes men weighed down by the chains of political correctness, they would see that the people of Britain have had enough.  Ever increasing taxation to try and fix their mistakes?  Continuiosly using the NHS as a stick to beat the opposition or a classic party political paper dragon!

Federal Suit Hits Soros for $10 Billion for ‘Political Meddling, Motivated Solely by Malice’

Image
Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight.
