b'The sordid tale of Tory mega donor, Mohamed Amersi, and his libel suit against Charlotte Leslie was an attempt to turn money into control over the truth. To our mind, there is no greater example of how the underlying principles of our era of Global Enduring Disorder connect bribery in Kazakhstan and Kathmandu to Brexit, the Ukraine war, and shadowy consultancies which offer pay-for-play access to the British elite.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nIn part 2 of Jason\\u2019s conversation with Tom Burgis, the duo talk about some of the biggest corruption cases in British history, how the complex story of post-Cold War deregulation has fuelled both global corruption and donations to the Tory party. This story has surprising implications for who has access to the British royal family and fundamentally who owns the truth.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nAfter the interview, Jason and Alex \\u2018Order the Disorder\\u2019 by discussing whether increased international co-ordination can curtail illegal money flows, and what a potential incoming Starmer-led Labour government could do domestically to prevent illicit gains from being recycled into campaign donations.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTwitter: @DisorderShow\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nSubscribe to our Substack: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nWebsite: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nProducer: George McDonagh\\xa0\\nExec Producer: Neil Fearn\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nShow Notes Links\\xa0\\nGet Tom\\u2019s book Cuckooland: Where the Rich Own the Truth https://tomburgis.com/cuckooland\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nRead the New Stateman\\u2019s, \\u2018Britain\\u2019s new oligarchy\\xa0\\nTom Burgis\\u2019s Cuckooland shows how the power to shape our politics is available to the highest bidder.\\u2019\\xa0 https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/book-of-the-day/2024/03/britain-new-oligarchy-tom-burgis-cuckooland\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nFor more on CMEC\\u2019s visit to rogue Libyan general Haftar: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/libyan-general-haftar-meets-uk-conservative-delegation\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nFor more on Mohamed Amersi and his liable suit against Charlotte Leslie, read Tom\\u2019s \\u2018Tory fundraising machine to come under scrutiny in UK court case\\u2019 in the FT here: https://www.ft.com/content/fcf90497-e283-4645-b18f-d95d35ff3fcd\\xa0\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
