“We are not censoring anyone…” 😳
Watch as Keir Starmer awkwardly backtracks on comments he made to GB News’ Bev Turner in July 2025.
When the President questioned whether world leaders were censoring him and his app, Truth Social, Keir Starmer was quick to jump in and assure Mr Trump that his platform would not face the threat of censorship in the UK.
Fast forward to 2026 and critics now point to growing concerns around free speech, alongside a social media ban for under-16s, with some around the world branding Britain “the nanny state”.

6.01% – shock horror! – Try the 15.9% mortgage rate of the early 1980's, when there was NO personal allowance and basic income tax was over 30%.

Successive governments have exploited, and encouraged, a runaway housing market. Stamp duty holidays, unwarranted low interest rates and B of E monetary policy have all contributed to an out of control market that encouraged speculators. It’s time for capital gains tax on property sales.

This is how they milk a generation of sheep. Get them to overleverage on houses, cars and credit cards to keep up with the jones.
Then boom, milk them until they die. Its sad, but true. Goos luck. Mortgages are not a problem for anyone. Overleveraging is.

6% is the rate I got my loan at and still paid it off in 10 years, by myself, with job where they cut everyone,s wages by about 20%. But, that's OK, the company owner went around showing everybody a picture of the million dollars worth of rock he had put on the front of his house with our wages that he didn't pay us.

Perhaps now people are realising that the house they got a mortgage for wasnt actually affordable. Big rise in repossessions coming and companies will snap them up to rent to serco to fill with all the immigrants🤢

Pain for younger couples over mortgage rates?? When we were "young couples" the rates were 18 to 21% on mortgages. These reporters are into sensation.

January 1, 2024 at 9:43 pm
When i bought a few years ago i asked my mortgage advisor what repayments would be fron the uk average of 8% to 12% and beyond . She informed me, she had hardly been asked that. It meant that i only took a smaller amount , not the full amount. But now i can afford silly rate rises and keep the roof over my head.
@derf9465

How did people in the 80's get mortgages will silly rates in double figures?

Exaggerating a bit. Like nobody knows the rates will change.

In 1989 I was paying 960 a month mortgage with an income of 980 net……I took a lodger and of course did not declare it why the hell should I, my rate was 18%. It was not about the value of the house and the mortgage it was about the salary I had, salaries now are MUCH higher, hence they should be able to afford the higher payments, why can't they?

The days of cheap money are over if you decided to over committed your borrowing to buy a house outside your budget , did you not realise that interest rates would rise at some point in the future.
You can not expect the government to prop you up with mortgage support consider financial discipline

This is what happens when you waste billions and print money. The hidden tax called inflation that decimates the poor and destroys the middle class. Joke

Head of BoE needs sacking, totally inept . Supply side inflation will not come down by taxing consumers …basic economics. They caused inflation by pumping over 400 billion into the uk economy over Covid, any economist will tell you this causes inflation…..this was done by design to push up interest rates and make banks lots of money…..no wonder they’ve been slow to pass on interest rates to savers

Pain for younger couple and growing families like me who have outgrown our current house but can’t move because the money we will make on our house still doesn’t give us enough deposit to outweigh the mortgage payment hikes.

It’s not the percentage that’s the problem … my first mortgage was at 11.75% back in late ‘80s. It’s the amount of the principal borrowed that’s the real issue! Anyone could afford 6% if borrowing £50,000 – but if borrowing £500,000 … sheesh. Strap in everyone.
@user-ub4pl6tz2e
January 1, 2024 at 9:43 pm
Very odd…..
Banks didn't want to give you morgage when it was almost 0 percent
Last 14 years
I remember Bank was asking me back then
How many coffee you drink a week
Part of expenses buget
Any way I was given my house morgage
Today 6 percent interest rates
I need more than coffee
Alcohol I think…..😂
But seriously
Government spend billions billions billions
COVID
Government wants their money back
Every penny
Street wise TAL……
