🚨 EXPOSED: THE BRUTAL COST OF A BURNHAM PREMIERSHIP.

Keir Starmer is barely out of the door, and the Labour establishment is already preparing to raid your bank account.

Andy Burnham’s economic blueprint has leaked, and it is a complete disaster for the British middle class.

He is backing a scheme to scrap council tax and replace it with a new annual property tax of 0.48% of your home's value. 🤡

If you live in an average £553,000 house, you will be forced to pay £2,654 every single year just for the privilege of living in your own home.

But the Labour tax grab gets even worse. 💷

Burnham wants to hike the top rate of income tax to 50p.

His economic advisers are also pushing to scrap capital gains tax and tax your investments and dividends at full income tax rates.

He is even proposing a flat 10% care levy on all inheritance, dragging millions of ordinary families into a death tax on their loved ones' estates from pound one.

They are coming for everything you have built.
And look at how quickly they will lie to your face just to get your vote.

To win the Makerfield by-election last week, Burnham promised WASPI women he would "stick by" them and deliver billions in pension compensation.

The second the vote was over, his team immediately backflipped and admitted they have zero plans to pay it. 🤡

They ruled out cash payouts entirely, offering them taxpayer-funded bus passes instead.

They treat the public like absolute fools while using your hard-earned wages to fund their political ambitions.

The global financial markets are already panicking.

The yield on 10-year gilts spiked the second Starmer resigned because Burnham openly declared he wants to stop being in hock to the bond markets, which is code for massive, reckless state borrowing.

This will drive UK mortgage rates and business loans through the roof, leaving everyday families to pay the price.

Labour has simply changed the face in Downing Street, but the plan to bleed the working class dry remains exactly the same.

RT to warn the country and expose this massive Labour tax grab! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

Businesses who can’t afford it, close and unemployment rises

Businesses who survive it, increase prices to swallow the cost, bad for economy

How does any adult not understand this

[Freddie New @freddienew]

Reminder - this is how civilisations typically collapse.

There's usually no dramatic 'fall of Rome' or cataclysmic event.

Just a slow grind downwards as you gradually notice potholes aren't filled in, roads collapse and are washed away, you can never see a doctor or a dentist and eventually muddle on with a missing tooth or held together with painkillers and tubigrips...

Where casual petty theft becomes normalised and is unpunished, and everything goes up and in price (except your wages, so you can't keep up). Where an asset-owning elite is largely immune to all this, but gradually retreats behind walls, gates and private security.

Next step might be rolling blackouts, which you'll get used to as well, as your children do their homework by paraffin lamps and candlelight.

And you suddenly realise quite how far we have fallen.

In 2025, Scottish wind farms were paid £350 million to turn off.

We paid for clean energy to NOT be generated.

Then paid again, over £1 billion, to fire up gas plants instead.

£1.35 billion. Added to your energy bill.

Activist: "The water usage for beef is obscene. Thousands of litres per kilogram."
Farmer: "That's rainfall."
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The figure includes all the rain that falls on the pasture. The cows drink from the stream. The rain falls whether there's a cow here or not."
Activist: "It's still water consumption."
Farmer: "Should I stop the rain falling on my field?"
Activist: "Grow crops instead. More efficient."
Farmer: "This is a 35-degree slope in the Welsh hills. Show me the crop."
Activist: "Technology..."
Farmer: "To make tractors climb mountains?"
Activist: "There must be a solution."
Farmer: "There is. It's called a cow."

@ronin21btc I follow because on at least one occassion you mentioned oatcakes, seems like a good enough reason 🙂

[🇬🇧 The Bitcoin & Crypto Accountant 🇬🇧🚀 @BitcoinTaxUK]

Inflation isn’t “prices going up”.

It’s the silent theft of your savings and your time.

Let me show you with simple, real-world examples 👇

You save £100,000 in the bank.
Your bank pays 3.5% interest.

After 1 year:
+£3,500 interest

Sounds decent, right?

Now reality.

The house you’re saving for was £150,000.

House prices rise 10% that year.
New price: £165,000

That’s £15,000 more expensive.

So despite “earning” £3,500…
You’re £11,500 further away from your goal.

You didn’t overspend.

You didn’t make bad choices.
Inflation moved the finish line.

Example 2:
Your savings earn 3.5%.

Inflation is 7%.

Your real return is:
–3.5% per year

Your money is shrinking in purchasing power even while the number goes up.

This is the illusion:
Bank balance: 📈
What it actually buys: 📉

Inflation quietly transfers value
from savers → borrowers → asset holders.

Example 3:
You save cash for 10 years at 3.5%.
Inflation averages 6%.

After a decade:
Your money buys ~25–30% less than when you started.

That’s years of work erased.

No vote.
No consent.
No invoice.

Just a slow bleed via higher prices,
smaller portions,
and delayed life goals.

This is why people feel like they’re running faster but getting nowhere.

Inflation doesn’t just tax money.

It taxes time.

More years working.
More risk taken.
More debt required.
All to stand still.

Once you see inflation clearly,
you start asking better questions about:
• savings
• assets
• incentives
• money itself

Understanding the problem is step one. 🧠

This is why people look at Bitcoin.

Not as a get-rich-quick scheme,
but as money with a fixed supply,
no central debasement,
and no silent inflation tax.

You can’t print more time.

And you can’t print more Bitcoin. 🟠
