Someone, or group, or groups, with the cooperation of the national powers-that-be (ie the Bank of `England and the Treasury) - NB not the Government which is merely a disposable front for the machination - is deliberately bankrupting the country. If there is any logic, the first level appears to be to create a crisis for the transition from fiat to digital money. Thereafter, there are grander conspiracies afoot, not meet to discuss here, but it is notable that the UK is only first among peers on the road to ruin.
Placing Mad Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary was obviously going to come with a colossal cost. He’s weaved his magic spell over net zero at Environment spending £bns we don’t have and will now undo the only thing the idiot Starmer did that made sense in reducing Foreign Aid. By the way has anyone seen Our An-deh yet?
There seems to be a determination amongst government ministers to chuck money down the drain at every opportunity. Perhaps its time to directly ask them why. Also, I couldn't fail to notice that the unelected usurper's first act seemed to be to pledge yet more weaponry for Ukraine to fire into Russia. Almost as if he is just a puppet obeying orders from somewhere himself.
The one thing I have noticed about all these 'promises' is that there is no follow up statement explaining where the money is coming from? If Stammer couldn't find any money how the hell does Burnham think he will cope, unless he has a bigger money pot all of a sudden and as stated the British public will be hard put to swallow even MORE tax increases or pension raids.
This has always been how labour operated, the famous saying 'squeeze them till the pips squeak' comes to mind.
I have been on this earth more than 70 years and I remember ALL the labour cock ups over the years. Does anyone still remember that Brown 'gave away' our gold for a ridiculous amount? I know that the Conservatives are not much better but they were never as bad as this !
Yes, I like your analogy! All the third world countries we give so called 'foreign aid' does NOT get spent on the country but on weapons or terrorist activities. The ones that don't just add it to their national coffers. India is a prime example, they even have a thriving space craft industry so tell me Burnham why would we STILL give so generously to this country? There are others as well and as stated, this might have been laudable back in the 19th and perhaps even earlier in the 20th century, but today? When they are more likely to turn that 'foreign aid' into weapons and attack us with them.
It is important to state exactly what 0.7% of GNI or GDP + foreign investment income. actually is in cash terms.
It is £21billion/year. That is almost a big a number as Rachel Reeve's black hole.
No matter Andy is going to borrow that amount of cash to simply give it ae=way to foreign based NGOs and directly to dictators in need of more bling and weapons needed to subdue their citizens.
The policy of giving away our much needed at home wealth is about as unproductive as it gets..

Yes, but we have thwarted, perhaps only temporarily, their road to Digital ID. Without this not so much of the rest of 'Agenda30' can be realised..
A tactical delay, no more. Reculer pour mieux sauter

I remember that!
Didn’t we have to buy it back at exorbitantly inflated prices?
I don't think we ever bought it back, but I might be wrong ! memory is not infallible.. :)
"The UN yardstick of 0.7% was first set in 1970"
A yard is a big stick to shove right up your arse.

Maybe that is why Labour are planning on doing it
We can’t afford our current level of government spending, which exceeded taxes by £132bn in 2025/26.
We urgently need to cut spending not add anything which is by its nature wholly discretionary.
Burnham is a first class arsehole the only cure for the cunt is his assassination.
