    The Tories are excellent with the economy. Wonderful reputation to draw on. Loyal, patriotic role models.

    The money-lenders effectively own Britain by this point. All this borrowing means they take our tax money in perpetuity as interest. Successive governments have put us in a debt trap we'll never get out of

    You Brits are finished. Great job guys and now you're paying 8m per day to house and feed people who broke your immigration laws.

    Wonder where the money really ends up. Aside from the “green” trough for MP snouts, is there one where raw money from the economy is diverted?

    It’s not Real money just numbers on a screen!

    They blamed the extra borrowing on our £66 energy payments. No mention about the £53 million payment a week on immigrants hotels 😮

    This is a hidden agenda ! They are raising debts in western countries to pay off debts in other countries . Levelling up for other countries and levelling down others .

    Borrow money haha. Another bank creates money out of thin air and lends it to us. Total fraud. It's fake debt.

    Remember when "Call me, Dave" and Osborne talked about fiscal responsibility, balancing the books and "Britain's best years are ahead of us"? Remember Theresa May chiming on about "no more magic money trees"? Sunak saying we had a duty to our children to be fiscally responsible. These clowns are straight out of Del Boy Trotter's play book; using a three card trick to move the Iron Lady from right to left and left to right.

    We need forensic audits done of the whole financial system, e.g the Central Banks, PUFF from the Magic Money Tree with Interest, not worth bean in reality, and no one thought that being trillions in debt isn't a National Security Risk? WEF the mouth piece of the Money, unelected by the People anywhere, now dictating how the World lives, or NOT…. come on!

    Of this £27.4bn Govt borrowing for the month of December 2022 the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) tell us today 24th Jan 2023 that £17.3bn was repayed in Interest Repayments on the outstanding £2,506bn Government debt (up to end of Dec 2022).

    BTW, That £17.3bn Interest repayment just for that December month if paid for by the 24.5 million UK full time employees is equal to £706 EACH!!.

    Just for one months Interest repayments on the obscene criminal Incompetence of the UK Govt and its/our debt. This is the utter mess we are in, well, part of it!.

    Who has £706 spare in a months salary to hand over to the UK Govt for just one months Govt debt Interest repayment?.

    Over time it will be the people of the UK who will be the ones repaying it one way or another, yet obviously we cannot.

  33. @jacquelinejob2766

    December 26, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    Well I think it might be because of the 8 millions a day for illegals.

  34. @lumpyfishgravy

    December 26, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    It's confirmed. Conservatives have done Labour's job for them and screwed the economy.

  35. @stephfoxwell4620

    December 26, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    Worryingly the interest bill on Government debt is now £500 million a day!

  36. @ICENI-Britannica

    December 26, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    The constant cycle of debt is the State’s way of keeping the little people tied to the millstone, and therefore controlled.

    Have they borrowed it for Ukraine ? They do more for others than us so let’s get rid

  39. @stephfoxwell4620

    December 26, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    We now have £2,600 billion of Government debt.
    £850 billion of QE.
    £1,900 billion of mortgages, loans and credit card debt.
    £200 billion of student debt.
    £120 billion of PFI debt.
    This has doubled in just 12 years under the Tories.
    £19 billion a month for 150 months!

    December 26, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    Subtract all migrant costs & their dishonest lawyers costs & we wouldn't be doing so badly after all. (Plus we'd free up millions of homes for the less well off Brits)

  41. @sisulart

    December 26, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    Well it’s not cheap housing all those illegals in luxury hotels.

  42. @barbaraaimson2100

    December 26, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    Every housewife HAS to budget their money, for no pay. STOP borrowing money, get people into work where they pay taxes. People wont work if they are better off staying at home. Stop renting hotels,stop hiring private jets. No point in having a chancellor is there

  43. @marielaveau8761

    December 26, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    International investors, as in Blackrock, whose portfolio manager, Rupert Harrison, is a.k.a. chief financial adviser of George Osbourne and….wait for it…. Jeremy C…uhm…Hunt.

“Britain’s MOST EXPENSIVE Airbnb” – Will Kensington MOCKS the STATE of the UK

Published

on

By



Watch as Will Kensington expresses concern about the state of the UK, arguing that Downing Street is no longer a place of power but has instead become Britain’s most expensive Airbnb.

This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.
