Bannon and the alt-right have no solutions to economic problems that are hitting us hard
Protesters against Steve Bannon's visit to Edinburgh this week

THERE is something sinister about Steve Bannon’s presence in the country right at the moment the government is in crisis on Brexit and the Tory right are plotting away. 

Earlier this year Bannon met Michael Gove — who was and still is serving in Theresa May’s Cabinet — Jacob Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson. 

Whenever Theresa May is replaced, there is little doubt her successor will be to the right of her. This, in addition to Boris Johnson’s attacks on Muslim women wearing the niqab (face veil), indicates the possibility of the Tories developing a more Trump-like character in future and why it is important to build a movement against racism.
