Operation Surprise: leaked emails expose secret intelligence coup to install Boris Johnson

Leaked emails reviewed by The Grayzone reveal possibly criminal plot by pro-Leave elites to sabotage Theresa May’s Brexit deal, infiltrate government, spy on campaign groups, and replace May with Boris Johnson.

    Intelligence cabal infiltrated UK civil service thanks to “centrally placed mole”

    Ex-MI6 chief Richard Dearlove pitched espionage operations targeting civil service and campaign groups

    Fake Democratic Party fronts run by CIA veterans were proposed to infiltrate pro-Remain groups

    Cabal sought to spy on and disrupt Prime Minister’s top Brexit negotiator

    Shadowy billionaires funded effort in total secret

    Dearlove claimed credit for influencing government policy on Huawei

    Cabal now seeking to remove Boris Johnson

    These efforts could amount to charges of TREASON 

Part 2 - “‘A Very English Coup D’Etat’…could be carefully orchestrated to achieve maximum impact”
 
Funding for the cabal’s “Operation Surprise” plot began flowing almost as soon as it was conceived.

In September 2018, Gwythian Prins fired off an email to Julian Blackwell, addressing his chum as “Trooper,” a reference to the publisher’s SAS special forces background, and thanking him for his “hugely welcome and generous willingness to cover my foregone income for effectively the first half of this FY [financial year].

He added that the Clodes were “marvellously willing to cover my time for the next phase of the year,” so he could “relax on the money front.” Oddly, Prins directed Blackwell to send the funds to his wife’s bank account – possibly a means to conceal transfers to himself. 
 
The Clodes also offered up thousands of pounds for the “intelligence operation,” following a call Dearlove made to them at Prins’ request.

In an August 2018 email to Prins, Tim Clode reported how the former MI6 chief outlined a “proposed modus operandi” for carrying out an espionage operations on Best for Britain in order to secure “maximum intel” on the pro-Remain group and its “co-conspirators.” He considered the target “very valuable” because it was “opening a second front through the People’s Vote movement, with a major effort to get the Labour Party to change official policy on a second referendum.

Tim told Dearlove that he also considered Oliver Robbins, May’s Europe Adviser and the chief Brexit negotiator, and his wider civil service unit “to be an equally important target,” in order to “force open the whole can of worms of rank disloyalty” among the civil service. 
 
If we could discover any ‘direct traffic’ between any of this disloyal civil service group and Best for Britain and its supporters, it would be dynamite,” Tim Clode wrote. “As per your ‘A very English Coup d’Etat,’ this could be carefully orchestrated to achieve maximum impact, either as per The Sun – Kit Kat tapes exclusives or selected private political briefings to key players.

Dearlove expressed a “high degree of confidence in the civil service objective,” and proposed a budget of “circa £4 – £5K per month” to dig up dirt on Best for Britain and Robbins, “strictly dependent on product results.”

A subsequent email from Prins revealed that the covert effort to “penetrate the enemy’s inner councils” would be led by former SIS (MI6 Secret Intelligence Service) operatives, connected to the notorious lobbying firm Crosby-Textor. 
 
In April 2019, Crosby-Textor was exposed as the hidden hand behind a series of bogus social media accounts targeting millions of British voters with ads extolling the virtues of a ‘Hard Brexit,’ and urging viewers to “chuck Chequers.”

Prins relayed advice from Dearlove, referred to by his code name, “C,” on how to achieve the infiltration. The former MI6 chief would “judge when there is a practicable breach to exploit,” apparently certain that “background coordination” was underway. The former spy further described Crosby-Textor as “the spider in the middle of the web,” with its staff deployed to Boris Johnson’s leadership bid, “which is now in full swing.” 
 
If Dearlove’s ex-MI6 contacts were unable to provide “gold” such as “the high-level plans of Best for Britain,” he would instead employ “some former CIA colleagues to set up a fake Democratic Party operation to approach the Remainers from across the seas – and in New York – to penetrate them.

These individuals were reportedly “highly expert at this sort of espionage,” Prins said, promising they would conduct infiltration work modeled after an operation carried out by Veterans for Britain, except “on a larger scale.”  
 
Prins concluded his incendiary missive by stating he would soon travel to Washington DC to meet with “special contacts” provided by Dearlove, in order to “open a line of attack in support of us from the USA.

May must go. The details of how that will be done ‘C’ [Dearlove] will hear on 18th September,” he explained. 
 
An August 2019 email reviewed by The Grayzone demonstrates how Veterans for Britain executed its espionage operation. In the message, Prins relays to Dearlove how the group’s communications chief, a former Naval Intelligence officer named David Banks, successfully ‘stung’ Alastair Brockbank, a senior civil service defense adviser whom Dearlove publicly accused in October 2018 of “working to lock UK defence and security under EU control after Brexit.
 
To verify whether Brockbank had left his post advising Oliver Robbins, the Brexit negotiator – information the cabal “could not find out by normal enquiry” – Banks messaged Brockbank posing as an associate of Centre for European Reform researcher Sophia Besch – whom Prins privately branded a “ghastly German remaniac.

Brockbank was subsequently duped into confirming that he remained in Downing Street. The successful sting prompted an apparently delighted Prins to ask Dearlove whether Banks was “one of yours” – in other words, an MI6-linked operative.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide. 

Trump Welcomes Syrian Leader & “REFORMED” TERRORIST To White House!

The Jimmy Dore Show   President Donald Trump is planning a White House welcome for Syria’s new president, former al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who was installed after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Jimmy Dore argues that the U.S. and its allies, including Israel, have long funded extremist groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda to serve foreign policy interests in the Middle East, so the embrace of al-Sharaa makes sense, even if it might confuse anyone who thought we took seriously the so-called “War on Terror.” He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger contrast Trump’s willingness to meet with alleged terrorists to his refusal to engage in dialogue with leaders like Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, accusing U.S. policy of hypocrisy and imperialism.

The Jimmy Dore Show   In recent years several alleged anti-Semitic incidents, including graffiti and vandalism, were later revealed to have been staged or “false flag” operations carried out by Jewish perpetrators to create sympathy or shift the public narrative in Israel’s favor. Jimmy Dore presents investigations that revealed hoaxes and uses them to argue that media and political institutions exploit victimhood to silence criticism of Israel. He then expands the discussion to accuse Israeli and Zionist figures of deceit in global politics and misinformation about Gaza. It ends with commentary that the term “anti‑Semitic” has lost meaning due to its politicization and misuse.

Will Mamdani manage to liberate New York from brutal neoliberalism?

globinfo freexchange    Fifty years ago, New York City was on the verge of collapse . The politicians who run the city had borrowed more and more money from the banks to pay for its growing services and welfare. But in the early 70s, the middle classes fled from the city and the taxes they paid disappeared with them. So, the banks lent the city even more. But then, they began to worry about the size of the growing debt and whether the city would ever be able to pay it back. And then, one day in 1975, the banks just stopped.   The city held its regular meeting to issue bonds in return for the loans, overseen by the city's financial controller. The banks were supposed to turn up at 11 a.m., but it soon became clear that none of them were going to appear. The meeting was rescheduled for 2 p.m. and the banks promised they would turn up. What happened that day in New York, marked a radical shift in power. The banks insisted that in order to protect their loans, they sho...

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Priceless: Zelensky told the truth about the war in Ukraine at its beginning!

globinfo freexchange    How did this escape the radars of mainstream media? Well, the answer is obvious, yet still, it is astonishing the fact that already back in 2022, at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, one of the major outlets of Western imperialism, actually translated this part of the interview with West's puppet, Volodymyr Zelensky. At 12:28 of the video, Zelensky starts spelling the truth about the real reason behind the war in Ukraine!    Zelensky admits:                            There are those in the West who don't mind a long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise of Ukraine and the cost of Ukrainian lives. This is definitely in the interest of some countries. For other countries, it would be better if the war ended quickly because Russia's market is big one that their economies are su...
