Gogs ‘better together’ Broon and the road he led us down.
🥀
Gordo argued we’d be Better Together though. It’s even his party in power.
The UK is a fucking disaster and Westminster governance is crippling Scotland.
Maybe Labour should further to the right/away from the left.
Have they tried that yet???
Don’t worry I’m sure Halk and other unionists will be in here in no time to explain to us exactly why this isn’t actually Westminsters fault and reassure us that we are in fact “better together”
Crash Gordon waffling again.
At least we have our gold reserves to fall back on…. Oh wait
Yeah its almost as if neoliberalism doesn’t actually work that well….
Red and Blue tories fucked the country up, GG guys
Rather than a gambling tax it should be reigning in that industry. E.g. no ads, massive fines for not banning problem gamblers, instead of giving them offers.
Maybe he shouldn’t have sold so much of our gold off cheap?
Says the man that sold the UKs gold reserves off for buttons
Check him for frostbite while he’s up and about.
How about stop giving our money away to foreign nations and non nationals
Getting sick of seeing locals get refused housing and have it given away to non nationals
To say something on topic for a bit:
>Britain has not seen poverty this bad for more than half a century, Gordon Brown has warned, urging Sir Keir Starmer to scrap the two-child benefit cap at the next budget.
>The former prime minister and Labour chancellor – who said “we are dealing with a divided Britain” and a “social crisis” – backed reforms to gambling taxes in order to generate the £3.2bn needed to scrap the cap.
I think scrapping the cap and the rape clause would be good, and so would action on the gambling industry. Like a lot of reddit, I don’t particularly like the online safety bill, but I think it’s revealing how little it does to prevent people from the gambling industry and the massive damage it does to people the length and breadth of the UK.
Bitter Together really came true
Fuck up Gordon, you left a note in the treasury saying g good luck all the oney has gone!!!
And sold all the Gold….. Idiot
Ahh wonder if he still buys high and sells low like the gold ☺️
>Mrs T and her family of five lived in a decaying terraced house owned by a steelworks. She had no gas, no electricity, no hot water, no bathroom. Her cooking was done on the fire in the living room. Sheffield, May 1969.
and

Away and roll back into your freezer, ya cretinous cunt.
Gordon Brown has clearly made poverty a bit of an issue in his retirement, which is all fine and to his credit.
I simply don’t see any particularly novel thinking here. “Put up benefits” isn’t really solving any underlying issues – and you’d think given his legacy with Tax Credits that he might want to consider the effect of just throwing money about in ways that are unpredictable and unsustainable.
Equally the endless “poverty is getting worse” narrative is incredibly tiresome. Statistically, it isn’t true – overall poverty is basically flat, pensioner poverty has declined and working-age poverty has risen. And of course, simply looking at shares of incomes completely ignores how materially better off people are compared to a generation ago.
I’d like to see some evidence of deep thinking from Brown – and it just doesn’t seem to be there.
People love saying everything is shit as long as they can steer it towards stuff like immigrants or benefits.
Mention neoliberalism, capitalism, inequality and all of a sudden we’ve never had it so good.
Cheers for coming out of your coffin and muddying the waters every time we talked about freeing ourselves from it then, you fucking dinosaur.
Cannot wait till this prick is gone.
And Scotland thanks Gordon with your better together pish!
