What Russia could do with Ukraine?

10 steps for Russia to solve the Ukraine/NATO issue.

They might learn from and follow the example of the oldest and most successful political party in the world...

The Tories.

1. Set up a political party that resonates with mainstream Ukraine attitudes. 
2. Model it on the Tory party.
3. Develop heuristic soundbites directly linked to populist views, beliefs and attitudes. Tory ones are great. Levelling up, build back better, get Brexit (NATO) done. Just follow the ideas of Boris Johnson, he's got an amazingly astute political imagination.
4. Bring back Dominic Cummings.
5. Use the methods employed by Cummings and AggregateIQ to become the democratically elected governing party.
6. Promise a referendum on NATO like David Cameron did for Brexit.
7. Promote 'free' and open social media, especially Facebook.
8. When the time is right hold a referendum on NATO membership.
9. Use Facebook advertising like Dominic Cummings used to win Brexit to win the NATO referendum.
10. Once in government make full use of Ukraine's special relationship with the EU for the benefit of Russia. A free trade agreement between Russia and your government in Ukraine would effectively mean a free trade deal with the EU.

Democracy is a malleable political concept isn't it Dom?

What opportunities is Sir Jacob looking for?

 Could this little story be happening in real life?

"Hello, My name's Jacob Rees-Mogg, sorry, Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg.

I'm from the English political party, the #Tories who fought tooth and nail against reform, we kept young children, girls and boys, as young as 4 or 5 down the mines and in the mills working up to 18 hours a day in terrible conditions for a whole generation.

And then we managed to level down reform to a trickle. We held down education long after Belgium, Germany and the USA for example.

I'm looking for opportunities to deregulate in line with our 18th century free market ideology. Yes, I know it failed but it's where we are.

I'm actually looking for opportunities to reduce standards in the UK to those of India.

Yes I know India is increasing standards to match the EU but this is post Brexit Chancellor Sunak's small government in action!"

I ask you where can we cut standards?

Levelling up? Our election slogan and has nothing to do with what we actually do."

Where Michael Gove's storyliners got their ideas from

India's budget!

Prime Minister Modi and Finance Minister Sitharaman are going to 'put wings under the Indian economy' with openly Keynesian plans backed with sufficient funding.

"Driven by seven engines of Roads, Railways, Airports, Ports, Mass Transport, Waterways, Logistics infrastructure, the national master plan aimed at excellent modern infrastructure and logistics synergy."

Unlike Gove and Johnson, they mean business.

"The budget announced 400 new Bande Bharat Trains, 100 new cargo terminals to give a boost to infrastructure. Four multi-modal logistics parks through PPP mode to be awarded. Integration of postal and railways network to facilitate parcel movement." And more. https://bit.ly/modiwings.

Contrast this with the 12 damp squib pipedreams from Johnson and Gove that have no substance, no new money, no hope and no glory.

Pipedreams are expected from Chuckle brothers Johnson and Gove but I'm surprised at Rishi Sunak joining in.

I thought he was meant to be seriously a minded economist/banker?
