The United Kingdom has numerous entrenched groups that are regarded as forming the establishment: these include the royal family, the aristocracy, the landed gentry, prestigious public schools like Eton College, Dulwich College etc., ergo Farage is definitely part of the establishment…

It would be bad for public confidence if there was a suspicion that large corporate interests are buying access to the Government via the Tony Blair Institute. My letter to the cabinet office. 👇🏼

Dear Chris,
Tony Blair's essay published by the Tony Blair Institute yesterday contained some
important points, notably, a call to switch to an AI focussed economy with more
government investment in AI, which he argued would be facilitated by cuts to welfare
spending, reductions in the minimum wage and reduced workers’ rights.

It has been widely reported that Larry Ellison the owner of Oracle, which specialises in AI,

funded the Tony Blair Institute with over £250m, and also that the Tony Blair Institute has
significant contacts and influence within the government.
We are sure you will agree that it's important for the public to know whether there is a
link between Larry Ellison's donations and Tony Blair's public advocacy for more
government funding of AI. We therefore request that all formal and informal contacts
between representatives of the Tony Blair Institute and government departments
(officials and ministers) are disclosed.
It would be bad for public confidence if there was a suspicion that large corporate
interests are buying access to the government via the Tony Blair Institute.
Yours sincerely,
Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales
