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.

The reason you can’t find where the growth is coming from is that this is an intentional attempt to crash the economy, get the dollar, Euro and pound to parity, paving the way for a central-bank controlled global digital currency. Growth is not the objective, far from it.

This budget does NOTHING TO REDUCE INFLATION. That means high wage claims and more strikes. Reduction in fuel prices by 40p and get on with trialing fracking. This will help a business plan if successful. Trillions£££ in the ground according to tests. If this budget remains millions will be on strike and the country ruined. All over. Winter period of extreme cold and very high energy bills still 2.5 times what theyshould be. Only the BOE to push interest rates up and mortgages and debt costs. This will result in massive unemployment and even more costs to govmt. more borrowing and more debt. DISASTROUS.

It's all distraction and pure political theatre. We are paying for our own demise, and their disastrous policies, have been for decades. The 2008 Bank heist, the endless printing of billions of worthless fiat helicopter money for decades. Billions for the covid plandemic, billions on the global warming nonsense and the green energy insanity, creating an engineered non existent energy crisis, which is having the same effect as lockdown with many business closing or going bankrupt. Plus many millions on a proxy war that should never have happened by being lapdogs to the US NATO cabal illegal warmongering. All part of the WEF Davos great reset agenda, with all countries in lockstep.

We have been living under austerity since the banks fkd us all in 2008. I believe that the last 14 years economic policies have failed miserably. We need to move away from austerity and provide a boost to business and citizens. J. Cnut is just robbing people blind.

Without a working adequately staffed and fully funded health services and
Without adequately staffed and fully funded working social care and
Without adequately staffed and fully funded nursing homes and old people's homes.
Home care is non existent
Who do you think is going to do the job the state is not doing .
Friends and be mostly families
Are working as unpaid careers mostly but not only daughter's or son's in their fifties and sixties
That's why we have more people not in employment because they're doing their duty and looking after elderly perant or perants 💯💯💯

I agree with him. You get the distinct impression of a government trying to create a problem which they know isn't anywhere near as bad as its painted. Just so they can claim they solved it just before the next election. The cost of energy is the tories fault. It was obvious that Russia was going to invade the rest of Ukraine back in 2014. It was also obvious that slapping sanctions on them would get a response. None of which the British government seems to have been prepared for.

I quit the UK and work 10 years ago, took early retirement (48 years old), the main reason, it was pointless working and letting the govenment take most of it in tax. I don't work for thieves, Take early retirement or go off grid if you can and get out of the rat race it pointless doing anything in the UK these days.

Hunt and Sunak are doing the will of the WEF folks, to complete the deliberate destruction of small and independent business initiated by unscientific lock downs. Unless we get rid of all of the ESG Flag waving quangos, we are being brought into a Civil Service/Communist style economy based on all the stakeholder nonsense Sunak and Starmer actually believe in implementing. We have to get rid of the Conservative, Labour and SNP parties and their theatre of there being any choice between them. This will start in the States and then god willing start rippling out throughout the western economies.

What a ludicrous statement.
We have £2,700 billion of Government debt.
£850 billion of printed QE.
£1,900 billion of mortgage and credit card debt.
RPI at 15.3%. wages rising at only 5.7%.
Energy bills up 40% and another 25% coming.
Petrol at £9 a gallon.
Beer at £6 a pint.
Pubs and shops closing all over.
Mortgage rates trebled in ten weeks.
Migrants arriving at 900,000 a year.
An aging population.
Birth rates down 20%.
How can we possibly overdo it??

HS2 is a part of the broader EU Core Network plans right cross Europe. That's why it is never threatened and doesn't make any sense for the UK, it's not for us. Yet we have supposed to have left the EU…… yeah right. Also this globalist imposed Conservative administration has no interest in the UK economy growing, that's why they are stifling it. It's all anti Brexit and pro EU, it's not about what's good for the UK.

All of the current budget will CAUSE the next recession. Jeremy Hunt has no economic or fiscal expertise – how the hell is he the chancellor? And Rishi, an ex-banker, sits there patting him on the shoulder so he is either equally economically illiterate OR he is scared of those sat behind Hunt pulling his strings…

When SMEs really start falling like ninepins, there'll be a lot more "economically inactive" people. Hunt has been polishing up his language, with the buzzword being "compassion". That's not something noticeable in his past as SoS Health, or his "Incarcerate the Lot" Chinese-style lockdown philosophy. Xi's Man In London, and Schwab Shill, for sure, but competent Chancellor, definitely not. MSM hysteria, whipped up according to the approved "narratives", is now the order of the day, and journalism of any sort (investigative, principled, intelligent etc.) is as dead as mutton.
