Tory party has been 'infiltrated by Marxist ideology', claims GB News presenter

THE Tories have been infiltrated by neo-Marxist ideology, with the left in the driving seat of the governing party.

This is the claim of GB News presenter Calvin Robinson, host of the improbably titled Common Sense Crusade programme on the channel.

Showing his common-sense credentials, he has completely given leave of all other of his senses and concluded that a cabal of communists has taken hold of the levers of power at the heart of the Conservative Party, ushering in a new Marxist era.

Father Robinson (he is a deacon in the Free Church of England – the CoE wouldn’t have him) fumed as arch-Brexiteer and self-avowed libertarian in the American mould Steve Baker revealed he’d changed his position on the practice of taking a knee.

Baker, who founded a free-market think tank, has finally bowed to the ideology of the left, according to Robinson.

Robinson, who is mixed-race, has argued in the past the Black Lives Matter movement has made race relations in Britain worse and that the movement was “anti-British” and “anti-family”.

In response to Baker’s intervention, Robinson said: “Why is there a Black Conservatives event? I’m not a black conservative. I’m a conservative. Skin-colour is irrelevant.

“Conservatives do not subscribe to Leftist ideologies, identity politics, [critical race theory]. These are not conservatives. They’re well-meaning liberals adopting neo-Marxism.

“The rot in the Conservative Party is deep. Tory Reform Group, LGBTQ+ Conservatives, Women 2 Win, Conservative Women’s Organisation, 50:50 Parliament, CARFE, and now 2022 Group.

“The Party has been captured by liberals obsessed with identity politics. Infiltrated by the Left.”

The Jouker has approached the People’s Democratic Conservative Party (Trussist tendency) for comment.

We also might gently encourage Robinson to take a look at the Tory taxation and public spending policies, which are expected to usher in a new era of austerity. All power to the shires?
