Left Foot Forward

Tory MEP Roger Helmer has inadvertently publicised a seminar titled "Fighting for a financial transaction tax".

Tory MEP Roger Helmer has inadvertently publicised a seminar titled “Fighting for a financial transaction tax” – replying all to the invite that was sent to most of the European Parliament, ensuring all MEPs and researchers were reminded of the event.

“Financial
Transaction Tax

It is not the first time an email espousing a hard-right cause has gone out in the name of a Tory MEP to the whole of the European Parliament. In December, Left Foot Forward revealed an email from Nirj Deva’s account was sent to all MEPs and researchers containing a propaganda video which claimed:
