Why is Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin Attending a Summit in Brazil With US Billionaire Mike Bloomberg?

In November it might have come as a bit of a shock to British taxpayers to see Tracy Brabin, the Mayor of West Yorkshire, at the C40 World Mayors Summit in Brazil, sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Sadiq Khan, co-Chair of C40 Cities, headed up the conference and at least two of his £150k-per-year deputies were in attendance.

There is an absolute wall of this stuff going on, well organised, well funded and deeply embedded.. I don’t think we know the half of it, let alone how to stop it.

Absolutely staggering. We have foreign enterprises directly involved in our political systems and yet “nothing to see here.” Are we given sight of the training materials, the course notes, the agendas for these “events?” Are we F.

And Andy Burnham is fully on board, well what a surprise. He has made a tremendous job of firking Greater Manchester and turning the city into a Turd World shithole just like the little khant; anyone might believe they are working to the same script.

More corruption and sleaze.

I see the C40 project as an elite agenda to embed globalism (Agenda 30 goals too) at a local level. So, in effect, controlled national establishment party governments deliver the globalist agenda and at a regional/local level C40 mayors push the same agenda so there is very limited room for democratic challenge or obstruction of the agenda.

There is definitely an initial air of ā€˜fully paid jolly abroad and travel at the front of the plane? Yes please!’ About it … but then it continues. ABAC laws were introduced many years ago – I wonder if they are followed here?

Brabin is on well over Ā£100K all expenses paid. The article doesn’t say if she has joined the Global Parliament of Mayors (no foreign interference there..) Everyone ready for a world of joined up SMART cities, digital ID and social credit scoring? How they must laugh at us little people.

More brilliant sleuthing from Charlotte Gill !

These Bloomberg “Leadership Courses” remind me of the UK Common Purpose Leadership Courses so bravely exposed by retired Royal Navy Lt. Cmdr. Brian Gerrish, founder of the UK Column.

As Brian Gerrish revealed some years ago, “Common Purpose” was founded by Julia Middleton, former Editor of “MARXISM TODAY”, who was actually contracted by David Cameron when he was Prime Minister to offer “Leadership Courses” to Tory civil servants, which urged them to follow her slogan “Go Beyond Authority” when the time came … [for the Marxist Revolution?]

That’s right, the Tory Prime Minister invited a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist to train Tory civil servants in how to “Go Beyond Authority”.

Was this the inspiration for Bloomberg’s own “Leadership Courses”?
And are they any different from Klaus Schwab’s “Young Global Leaders Programme”?

David Icke referenced this article on Rhoda Wilson’s website “The Expose”:

Here are the Names and Faces of WEF’s Young Global Leaders in the United Kingdom – The Expose

šŸ™‚ . Well, one curiosity in that list of Young Global Leaders was “Gina Badenoch”, who looks a bit like Hamish, so I wondered if she was his sister, or maybe his long-lost Mexican cousin, minus the sombrero…

If Reform were elected to govern and they did not both remove taxpayer and lottery money funding and refuse these bodies any kind of advisory role with government they will set out to destroy a Reform government.

There is an opportunity I think to create a very specific role framework for councils – ā€˜this is what you are here to do’. Nothing less, nothing more. If you want to add to it, it has to be voted on… focus required. Align budget around it – ringfence funds so you can’t rob the park maintenance budget to go on a fact finding mission to Barbados etc

Bloomberg’s operation seems similar to the World Empire of Fascists Hitler Youth programme that includes Sunak, Rutte, Adolf Trudeau and Horse Face of NZ as attendees.

bloomberg’s gatherings for mayors remind me of the the Mormon, Covey, who developed the business model for organising your work day. All major businesses jumped on the bandwagon to attend covey training sessions, buy his daytimers and become followers of the covey method. Well folks just like the covey method and many before, the Bloomberg training will become a thing of the past as will his disciples until the next ā€œbig thingā€ in managing people, towns, budgets, hits the headlines.

I suggest everyone looks at the current Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill which is now at committee stage in the Lords.
Look at section 6 – Making decisions and Validity of Meetings.

In mayoral authorities, decisions are made by the majority, but that majority must include the mayor.

If members or substitutes at a meeting do not meet eligibility criteria the meeting is still valid.

The Commons have continued to allow this Local Mayoral Dictatorship throughout all their readings and committee stages.
Will the Lords see this danger?

Has Lord Young seen this section?

I have not seen anything in alternative media highlighting this.

MODERATOR HERE: Thanks for your interesting comment, which has been passed to Toby

That is a good spot. So everyone’s vote is equal, except some (whose vote) is more equal than others… what could possibly go wrong?

Another pile of depressing information.

Looks like another haul by Charlotte.

Yes it is! Bad though it is, it needs to be revealed, so it can be dealt with.

Someone’s got to do it.

So it’s onward with the subscription on her substack channel.
