Bloomberg and Starmer, sitting in a tree...
Why is the UK Prime Minister sucking up to US billionaires?
Yesterday Keir Starmer posted a photo of himself at a business meeting, writing “Today Rachel Reeves and I spoke to leading CEOs to deliver a clear message: Britain is back, and open for business”:
This wasn’t any old gathering, but took place at Bloomberg’s London headquarters - aka the one run by US billionaire and three-time mayor of New York City, Mike Bloomberg.
You can spot one of Bloomberg’s executives in the meeting as well as a Bloomberg bottle, in another video from Starmer’s X feed.
Starmer seems to know Bloomberg well. In March last year the pair met to discuss, among other things, Labour’s plans for a “mission-driven government”.
This word - “mission” - comes from the lexicon of the World’s Worst Economist, Professor Mariana Mazzucato, who has been advising the Labour Party (and many other governments/ international organisations):
Mazzucato is on the UN’s Committee for Development Policy…
Whereas Bloomberg, who has worked with and funded her UCL department, is the UN’s Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions.
None of this is a coincidence. Starmer is essentially at the bottom of a food chain, whereby the United Nations - and its envoys/ policy advisers - call the shots, and prime ministers bend over backwards for them.
Rachel Reeves is also familiar with Bloomberg. In May 2023 she was over in the States “to talk about Labour’s plans to get Britain open for business.”
Bloomberg is clearly very interested in Britain, and this interest seems to have gone on for decades (without being much commented on in the news).
He even considers London “a second home”…
This becomes VERY clear when you look at his relationship with Sadiq Khan (which I will soon delve into).
Consider how much Labour/ the left have banged on about Elon Musk and the dangers of foreign interference (even before he’s given a penny to Reform).
It’s different, of course, when they do it…
I worry that he is being guided by them into globalist policies that they can't get passed in the USA. Bloomberg loves net zero and nanny statism and like too many he wants to see the end of nation states and unfettered immigration. Keir wants that latter too. When he says he wants to transform Britain I suspect he means change the demographics. I just did two years at a university - the idea that white men are evil is real to many lecturers and students.
