Secret texting
BuzzFeed revealed that Bannon and Johnson have been in contact with each other for some time. In fact, it seems the pair have been secretly texting since Bannon worked in the White House.
And it comes as no surprise that the two are fond of each other. During Bannon’s visit to the UK, he was critical of Theresa May’s leadership, and asserted that “now is the moment” for Johnson to lead Britain.
Another source close to BuzzFeed, who had met with Bannon during his visit to the UK, confirmed the pair had been in contact throughout his visit. The source said they didn’t know the exact contents of the communications, but were “sure they weren’t discussing the cricket scores”.
Boris’s charade
Johnson falling head over heels for right-wing populism may come as a surprise to some who observed him as mayor of London. Because Bannon’s ideology is a stark contrast to the pro-immigration persona he portrayed as London mayor. Even more recently, as foreign secretary, his open approach to immigration in regards to Brexit seemed to be light years beyond Bannon’s views. But the texts with Bannon and a mounting list of racist insults suggest that Johnson’s apparently liberal view on immigration may have been just a facade.
All of this foreshadows a worrying possibility for the future of UK politics – that Trump-style populism is slowly infiltrating into Britain and wooing right-wing politicians.

FFS!
We don't want their fucking American medical care in this country and we certainly don't want American fascist scum like Bannon having a say here either.
