This post is problematic for a number of reasons.
A thread…🧵
1. For those attempting to make sense of Trump’s victory and the rise of the far-right across Europe - look no further than the PMs statement below.
Whether you like it or not, the far-right has a set of common narratives. We can probably all recite them…
I'm determined to deliver growth, create wealth and put more money in people’s pockets.
This can only be achieved by working in partnership with leading businesses, like @BlackRock, to capitalise on the UK’s position as a world leading hub for investment.
ALT Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosts a Blackrock meeting along with Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves and Blackrock founder and chief executive officer Larry Fink in 10 Downing Street.

I wish the British Foreign Secretary all the best with this. London's bankers, PR agencies, lobbying firms and lawyers - along with its properties - have long facilitated capital flight by some of Africa's most brutal and corrupt regimes.

Incredible to see our beginners at West Reservoir Centre today (where Kai started) and also Kai having come so far with Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team. Hard to comprehend!

Strong words from @DavidLammy on tackling #DirtyMoney - with sanctions against 3 kleptocrats as a ‘starting gun’ on a new campaign.
We @TransparencyUK also look forward to tougher against professionals who enable #corruption + proper transparency in offshore financial centres.

Every year an estimated £388 billion that should have been paid in tax disappears into tax havens.
A third of that flows into, or through, or is enabled by Britain and its Overseas Territories – new research from @TaxJusticeNet shows.

The UK continues to enable global tax abuse, disproportionately harming Global South countries.
@TaxJusticeAfric joined us in writing to the government to make clear: this situation represents a continuation of the extractive, colonial model.

I said I would take on dirty money when I became Foreign Secretary.
Today, I am.

📢 Large organisations are to be held criminally responsible if they profit from fraudulent practices.
We're driving a culture of responsibility and accountability in corporate boardrooms.
What does Trump mean for the fight against financial crime?
Project 2025 outlines some priorities: repeal beneficial ownership laws; publish more FinCEN data.

I’d reiterate this for #CivilSociety, too. #Project2025 calls for a review of all USAID contracts, meaning many pro #democracy and and #corruption groups may find their donor funding cut off in January

Financial secrecy is a huge climate problem.
Alleged “shadow company” group Borneo Hijau Lestari, accused of clearing swathes of Borneo rainforest, uses offshore secrecy jurisdictions to conceal its ownership, @geckoproj reported. Former staff claim the group is owned by the super-rich Tanoto family. buff.ly/48walLT
Fascinating from Companies House, inc
"It is highly likely that limited company structures within the UK are widely used to facilitate many types of serious and organised criminality. Work is ongoing to fully understand the scale of the issue."
