1. I mean has Blackrock done anything wrong? They just want to buy homes, land and farmland? What’s the problem fellow peons?

2. The King should call an election before this person sells Britain out from under us and get us into WW3.

3. Crybabies, the meeting is fine

4. Blackrock are major shareholders in some of the largest companies on the planet. If we want to enact change, it’s going to be through engaging with, and pressuring, the largest shareholders of these business. That’s typically Blackrock, other large investment firms, pension funds etc.

   The likes of BP care far more about what their shareholders say and do than what non-shareholders say and do.

5. Any Leftist worth their salt knows that one company monopolising houses and land is a terrible, terrible idea. We know where this is going.

6. I have followed BlackRock since the Maui fires. When people were shifting through Ashes these men in suits were offering to buy there land. Didn’t care about missing children or the fact Joe Biden only gave them $800 per family. Then North Carolina after Hurticane Helene. They are low life’s

7. He gets condemned by the left for the sensible things he does. Black rock have got billions to invest. If he is actually about growth these are the meeting he should be having.

8. The country needs to stay the fuck away from Blackrock and other like it.

9. What the fuck is that word salad from Clive Lewis?

10. Ahh, is this why the government seems to be driving small private landlords out of business?

11. Yeah he’ll be wanting them to buy all the farms that’ll be needing to get sold to pay their IHT lmao.

    “Oooo big BlackRock, oooo come centralize our food production and own all of the rentable homes! have total control over the market! gouge the prices as much as you want!”

12. We are fucked

13. Oh dear, Keir.

14. Black Rock is mostly just collective investments for normal folk. What’s the issue?

15. These comments are full of the left wing versions of the people that voted for trump. Believe anything they see on YouTube or X….

16. Everyone calling farmers greedy and telling them to pay their fair share – you do not want BlackRock as the custodians of our countryside.

17. We are broke….the UK is basically sat at a glory hole willing to take anything anyone is willing to give

18. Holy shit, this guy was a piece of shit all along.

19. Interestingly enough BlackRock are working towards corporate ownership of land, including for food production.

    I’m sure that any recent inheritance tax changes are purely coincidental though.

20. Are people just realising he’s a neo-liberal Globalist, selling you out?

    He did tell you all he prefers Davos to Westminster.

    Anyway, who’s gonna buy all that farmland they plan to force the sale of.

21. Not being funny, but his one tweet all bit confirmed that 5 years of “dangerous far right conspiracies” were spot on…

    And people still wont listen, or dont care because its the *wrong people* who are saying it…

    We deserve this shit tbh
