GOLD FINGER ! 😲 NOT ! 🤬
Keir Starmer has just appointed Gordon Brown as Special Envoy for Global Finance. 😂😅🤣
Gordon Brown sold nearly 400 tonnes of Britain gold reserves for $275 dollars an ounce.
That gold would be worth BILLIONS and BILLIONS today.

The results are in...this was the Benefits Street Budget: Rachel Reeves has raised taxes to a record high, in order to spend more money on welfare.
It is totally unsustainable and will make the whole country poorer.
This Rachel Reeves Budget has absolutely done my head in. It’s like they have sat down in a room and said “How can we make life harder for normal, hard working people?” And then ticked every box.
Freezing income tax and NI thresholds? That’s basically a stealth tax on grafters. You work harder, get a tiny pay rise, and then government grabs it before it even hits ya bank. Then she whacks businesses right in the bollex by gutting the pension salary sacrifice benefit, so companies have to cough up more just to offer staff a basic pension. Punishing you for trying to do the right thing.
They really want people to not work and stay indoors on the system. It’s madness.
The people actually trying to build something…. Like run a cafe, a market stall, a gym, a shop, a small manufacturing firms a builder, a plumber, the black cab drivers and so many more hard working people are being squeezed from every angle. Higher wages, higher taxes, more pension costs, more rules, more pressure… and less support. We should be making it more attractive for businesses. Not scaring them off to move their money abroad.
If Labour actually cared and actually wanted this country to thrive and do well again they would Cut taxes so hardworking people keep more of their own money and support small businesses properly. We gotta make Britain attractive again to invest in. Give stability, Small businesses are the backbone of this country. They’re the people up at the crack of dawn keeping this country going. Making jobs for people. Supporting local economies. Not sitting back waiting for a handout. Why do we get punished to cover the cost of all these poxy handouts!!
It’s about time someone called it all out. In fact that’s just what I’m gonna do. When the small businesses dry up and stop paying their taxes and start losing money. The country will fall apart. Some people don’t realise how important they are!
Bosh❤️
You don’t help people out of poverty by making the whole country poorer. That's why Conservatives will bring back the two-child benefit cap, which will save £3 billion a year.
Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have made everyone poorer because they killed growth and drove up the cost of living. 5,000 people a day are moving onto sickness benefits. It’s totally unaffordable and it’s a debt bomb for our children.
Labour’s “solution” is record tax hikes and more welfare handouts. Scrapping the two-child benefit cap will mean over half a million families receive an average amount of £5,000 extra. Some will get much more. That’s all paid for by taxing working people, who are already struggling, even more.
Scrapping the two-child benefit cap is backed by all the other political parties: from the Liberal Democrats to Reform, from the Greens to the SNP. Only the Conservatives believe in the benefit cap and only the Conservatives have pledged to bring it back.
Scrapping the two-child benefit cap only increases dependency on welfare and reduces the incentive for parents to work. It is only fair that people on benefits should have to make the same decisions about having children as everyone else.
The Conservative solution is the only one that works: cut spending, cut tax. back business, get the deficit down and live within our means.
This is a Budget for Benefits Street & you’re going to be paying for it!
Reeves has broken her promises and hiked taxes by another £26 billion. All to fund more welfare and keep Labour MPs off her back.
No one will trust her again.
This is Rachel Reeves - the face of pure evil.
They’ve now made it popular to NOT work, have up to six kids you can’t afford and be dependant on the state…
I wonder why they want that.
Anyone who voted Labour and continues to champion them - I sincerely wish you the worst.
2029 can’t come quick enough
@BellaWallerstei@thetimes 100% what i am thinking. I am considering closing all my business’ after working 60+ hours for 30 years and have a few more kids - i will then be better off than i am right now.
A single parent with three kids currently gets £20,978 in benefits. Without the two-child cap, it would jump to £24,491 well above what a full-time minimum wage worker takes home - £21,807 (@thetimes). Why work at all if benefits pay more?
@UKLabour Unfortunately the nhs starts with preventative care. Your policies will create more ill health to hard working people!! Hardworking small business’ and people have there livelihoods on the line - what do you think you are doing to them?
BREAKING: The Office of Budget Responsibility has ‘accidentally’ published the entire Budget BEFORE the Chancellor has delivered it.
Ironically, this is the most irresponsible Budget act ever perpetrated, and just about sums up this clueless Labour government.
@Keir_Starmer If i was 20 years younger i would leave this country - it is an absolute joke and you are making it worse & not fixing it. As a small business owner we are having to cut jobs & hours. Having worked 60 hours + for over 30 yrs in hospitality no-one is making any money!!
@RachelReevesMP@hmtreasury The best thing you have done, however how about the small and medium size business’ you are killing through government policy. i’ve worked hard - 60 hours a week+ for over 35 years and you are destroying us and rewarding people that simply don’t want to work! A joke #labourout
Very worrying the number of independent businesses reporting the same thing this week - small businesses in particular taken by surprise and only now realising the full impact of payroll increases. We need urgent reappraisal
