Tech billionaires have eroded the American dream. But voters are waking up. So should we in Britain. These trillion dollar companies represent the privatisation of capitalism- and everything from space to AI. We need a strategic response.

If an MP is too scared to attend parliament because there was some pushing and shoving (even given that it seems likely he was the one pushing and shoving) and is too scared to appear in his constituency, serious questions should be asked about his mental suitability for the job.

More than 30 senior Tories named in new Covid PPE ‘VIP lane’ records
Democracy For Sale reveals full details of ‘politically connected’ fast track lane for lucrative PPE contracts released after Democracy for Sale reporter's five-year legal battle.
By Peter Geoghegan and Jenna Corderoy
Eight members of Boris Johnson’s cabinet named in full list of Covid VIP lane referrals.
More than 30 senior Conservatives are named in newly released records of companies referred to the government’s controversial Covid PPE ‘VIP lane’ back in 2020, following a five-year fight by Democracy for Sale to force the government to divulge the information.
The documents identify hundreds of businesses – and the politicians, ministers, senior civil servants and other figures who recommended them for the ‘VIP lane’ to lucrative government Covid contracts.
Among those named are eight members of Boris Johnson’s cabinet, Sarah Ferguson and the banking giant Santander.
Four of those cabinet ministers in the documents had not previously been named: then foreign secretary Dominic Raab, justice secretary Robert Buckland, Welsh secretary Simon Hart, and housing secretary Robert Jenrick, who is listed only as a ‘possible’ referrer.
Companies referred to the VIP lane were ten times more likely to secure contracts, according to the National Audit Office. Around £1bn of the £1.7bn spent on PPE from VIP suppliers was wasted on supplies later deemed unfit to use.
The release of the records brings to an end a fight for transparency that began in February 2021, when now Democracy for Sale reporter Jenna Corderoy submitted a Freedom of Information request seeking the names of every company referred to the so-called ‘VIP lane’ and those who had recommended them.
The government resisted disclosure for more than five years. In February 2025, a tribunal ordered it to name the unsuccessful suppliers and rejected its argument that identifying their referrers would cost too much.
The Cabinet Office still withheld the referrers’ names until Democracy for Sale appealed to the Information Commissioner’s Office, who ruled last month that they should be disclosed. They were finally published on Thursday.
The Cabinet Office has warned that it cannot completely verify the accuracy of the reconstructed referral data, and some individuals are identified only as ‘possible’ referrers. There is no suggestion that making a referral was itself improper.
Among other things, the documents show:
Raab recommended a Cambridgeshire toy maker who had only a single employee at the start of the pandemic. 'Honest Bob' Jenrick, now Reform UK treasury spokesman, is listed as ‘possibly’ referring an export packing firm.
Graham Brady, then chair of the 1922 committee of backbench Tory MPs, referred an interior design company near his Altrincham and Sale West seat. Brady told Democracy for Sale that he had “no recollection of this but given the location, I assume I was passing on an approach from a constituent. I have no involvement with the company and never have had.”
Owen Paterson, who later left parliament after a lobbying scandal, referred a Birmingham biotech firm working on pregnancy complications. None of these firms were given contracts.
Then health secretary Matt Hancock is named against 27 companies, three of them marked ‘possible’.
Former Conservative party chairman Lord Feldman is recorded against 21 (three ‘possible’) and
Cabinet Office minister Lord Agnew against 14 (four ‘possible’).
Grant Shapps and Michael Gove also referred firms, including, in Gove’s case, Meller Designs, run by donor David Meller, which received £164m in Covid contracts.
Sarah Ferguson, then the Duchess of York and ex-wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, referred Biz Trading Ltd, a small London-based pharmaceutical company that was dissolved in 2022, according to Companies House.

Hi @andreajenkyns, why did you delete the video of yourself with Paolo Zampoli talking about how you had just had lunch together?
Is it because you realised the House Judiciary Committee investigation stated he was “an active participant” in Jeffery Epstein's alleged sex trafficking?
Or was it that the FBI said he arranged a model’s visa before she was recruited to give a massage at Epstein’s house, where Epstein allegedly raped her?
Or is it the civil lawsuit he’s facing over the alleged drugging and raping of Victoria Drake?
And you think he’s “amazing”.
That’s a lot of promises you’re making there, Mayor.

Hey Elon, how do you go from asking about the wildest party on Jeffrey Epstein’s child rape island to claiming you repeatedly refused invitations?
Because the DOJ released your emails, and holy shit my guy, you’ve still got some explaining to do.
November 2012.
Epstein asks how many people you’ll need helicopter transportation for. You say probably just you and Talulah Riley. Maybe we should ask her about this next.
Then you ask which night will have the wildest party.
The wildest fucking party.
On Jeffrey Epstein’s child rape island.
Four years after his conviction involving a minor.
What the absolute fuck were you thinking? You knew who this man was. Everyone knew. His criminal history wasn’t some closely guarded secret anymore.
And before the pedodefending cult seals start honking that an email isn’t proof of child rape, congratulations. You’ve discovered something nobody is disputing.
This is about judgment. Keep up.
Christmas Day 2012.
You tell Epstein you’ve been working yourself to the edge of sanity and want to let loose once your children go home.
You ask about parties. A peaceful island experience apparently isn’t what you’re looking for.
A socially awkward billionaire asking a convicted child sex offender where the real party is.
And we’re supposed to believe you were desperately avoiding him.
I’m not done Eggman.
December 2013.
You’re discussing another visit. Epstein offers dates. You ask when you should head to the island.
Then Epstein cancels because he has to remain in New York.
Even Jeffrey fucking Epstein couldn’t make time for you. Hilarious.
Yet years later, you publicly say that Epstein repeatedly tried to get you there, and you refused.
So which is it Eggman?
Were you avoiding him, or coordinating your Christmas schedule with him to go to child rape island?
Now SpaceX.
Released correspondence shows Epstein’s assistants arranging a February 2013 visit, including a scheduled lunch with you.
It’s always a lunch. I’m starting to wonder if “lunch” is code for child rape, but I digress.
Whether that “lunch” actually happened remains unclear. But in 2020, you denied Epstein ever toured SpaceX.
Which the fuck is it?
Now everyone’s favorite billionaire soap opera.
June 2025.
You and Trump are having your mean bitch public breakup. Delicious entertainment, admittedly.
Suddenly you post on X that Trump is in the Epstein files and suggest that’s why they haven’t been released.
“Oh snap!”, we all said simultaneously.
Finally, something I can believe.
But then you delete the accusation.
What’s that about?
Did you have evidence? Did somebody tell you something? Or were you throwing around one of the most inflammatory associations imaginable because you were pissed off at another billionaire?
And if you had evidence, why go quiet?
What changed?
That black eye?
Kissing the wall?
I’m curious Eggman.
You were perfectly comfortable invoking Epstein when it was politically useful to attack somebody else.
But when your own correspondence surfaced, suddenly we’re supposed to all appreciate how easily emails can be misinterpreted.
How convenient. Honestly, who believes this shit?
Now, none of this establishes that you visited Epstein’s island or participated in his crimes.
Maybe you were going on adult night. Maybe you changed your mind. Maybe you’re too much of a fat chud loser for Epstein to follow through.
But even still, the emails are real, and the questions are totally legitimate.
I don’t give a fuck about your rockets, implants, electric cars, or bank account.
Your cultsheep have convinced themselves that your accomplishments make you incapable of dishonesty.
They don’t bro.
You corresponded with a convicted child sex offender, discussed partying on his child rape island, and later portrayed yourself to us as someone who repeatedly refused to go.
I call BULLSHIT.
You demanded answers about everyone else’s connection to Epstein.
Your turn.
We’re not letting this go.

This woman represents most Americans btw.
“It’s hard for me to even believe that anyone continues to support the lunacy of the president. I can’t even say his name. He is outrageously demented. He is sick and he is on his mission about power and greed and corruption. It is truly disgraceful. And for Americans to not be able to see what is going on is truly shocking. All of his cabinet, they are all corrupt. It is just disgraceful.”
This is how every American should feel btw. This administration will go down as the most corrupt, the most divisive and one of the worst in history.

🚨 你明白乌克兰刚刚对特朗普要的“暂停打炼油厂”做了什么吗……《华尔街日报》曝光它才几个小时……
他们打了俄罗斯萨马拉州的新古比雪夫斯克炼油厂……俄油(Rosneft)旗下工厂,每年加工约880万吨原油……给俄军生产航空燃油,还有汽油和柴油……打仗需要的一切燃料……
这不是一个随便的目标……这是俄罗斯战争燃料命脉的一部分……
> 俄油……俄罗斯国有石油巨头……眼看着自家工厂浓烟滚滚
> 莫斯科几大机场……被同一波无人机逼得短暂关闭
> 俄方称一夜之间在19个地区击落1,043架无人机……萨马拉州长说基辅“发射了创纪录数量的无人机”
> 自10月15日以来零次炼油厂袭击……停了2周,就被这一击打破
没人讲清楚的真相是……
乌克兰不只是打了一座炼油厂……他们重启了在柴油价格创历史新高之际让特朗普恼火的袭击……柴油成本最后会变成你的菜钱……你的快递费……你的公交票……
而且他们就在《华尔街日报》报道暂停之后的那个夜里动手……在特朗普宣布从莫斯科购买柴油的协议之后,公开违抗特朗普……
你看到的不是一次暂停结束……而是一场燃料战争卷土重来,同一夜俄罗斯用弹道导弹和100多架无人机袭击乌克兰,第聂伯罗35万人断电……
这次暂停本该持续到投票之后……结果2周就破了……离中期选举只剩4天,炼油厂之战又回来了……

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’
@JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.
Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.
