My theory exactly.

Wecould have used some our gold stocks to finance help but some fool. Sold half of it off. at the bottom of the market. Did he hate us soooo much ?? Now we are skint we could have used. that gold now at highest levels. UGH!!

This smacks of hypocrisy. Gordon Brown sounds like he cares in this Sky News interview but it is all very easy to point to the terrible state of Britain today (and I agree, there is a huge amount of suffering and poverty amongst ordinary Britons now and we've sunk to just about a third world state) but what about the damage he caused when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer and Prime Minister.? Yes, I despise the Conservative government for not caring one jot about the British public, throwing away billions of pounds of our money on idiotic and wasteful projects (net zero, for example, or housing illegal migrants in luxury hotels). However, I can remember what Blair and Brown did to our country. They initiated the massive increase in migrants coming into the UK, thus making our housing shortage even worse, increasing the pressure on the struggling NHS and education system, plus diluting our own culture and traditions .In addition, Gordon Brown stole our work pensions that many of us were relying on to avoid poverty in old age. He was also stupid enough to sell much of Britain's gold reserves at a very low price on the market., so impoverishing Britain even more. And does he really care about the ordinary people? Don't forget what he called 65 year old pensioner Gillian Duffy from Rochdale (who was a Labour supporter) when she politely asked him a question about immigration and the economy. Her question was in no means aggressive or challenging and was a fair one, given her circumstances. Thinking the microphone was switched off, Brown expressed rage to his aides saying "Who let this bigoted woman in?" There was no way that Gillian Duffy was a "bigot" but it seems that Brown doesn't like us ordinary people disagreeing with him. He's also a Global ist, and like Tony Blair and most of our politicians, supports such elitist organisations as the W E F and the W H O. who are out to destroy the nation state. There's much more I could say, but this comment is too long already! Basically, do not trust him.

Yep, Mr Brown the multi-millionaire preaching to us what it's like being so poor 😂😂

A decent man compared to our modern politicians.

He was a chancellor and a PM already. I think we know what he is capable of. Remember, his government brought us EHRC and unlimited Muslim migration, financial crisis, -30% on property prices, bailouts of 3 banks, huge increase in the national debt, all inflicted by deregulation brought by the chancellor.

If there weren’t so many absent fathers this would help

Oh i forgot this. The 50p rise he gave to the pensioners. Yes some of us have memories gordon.

The country would be a better place if Gordon Brown was in power Due to the fact he has a heart, compassion, empathy , intelligence & Experience Unlike the incompetent , callous amateurs we have running the country now !

Brown gave away half the UK gold reserves, obviously nobody made a fortune out of that, did they? The government ALWAYS serves 'the city' first, and the sooner folk open their eyes the better

Let me guess. Donations will be made to the charity of choice, who will take 90% of the money in “administration costs” including paying consultants to go out and ring the alarm bells for the media.

No no mention of this donate to a parish or local small charity or food bank run by volunteers.

ahhh yes Gordon Brown... the guy who sold our gold reserves at an all time low, and taxed pension funds massively. Notice he says how he has "observed" poverty and not "experienced" poverty. He is merely campaigning for the labour party.

Just use some of the countries gold reserves. Oh, wait. I forgot Gordon sold half of it off cheap for his rich friends to profit.

Were paying more where is the money going?

Lots taken from us by corruption of those in power, to pay for all the migrant hotels and other migrant accommodation, for the net zero scheme scam, paying billions of pounds to Ukraine to keep war going, to pay for the Diversity and Inclusion officers in the NHS, Councils, Police and other Public Services,, and the list of other ridiculous projects and schemes goes on...

No one should have to live like this

The man who 'ended boom and bust' but led us into a recession; the man who sold our gold reserves at eye wateringly low prices, should not be commenting on anything to do with Politics. Worst prime minster we ever had, and that's saying something.

Meanwhile we got Abduls living in 4 star hotels with our tax payer money.

Now they wanting to do something about it? It’s been happening for a long time

UK media and UK RF are busy following PH and M and totally forgot about the needs of their own people. Shame!

Remember he sold gold making us poorer

His mate Blair will make it worse

Brown needs to use whatever influence he has to push Starmer on this, because at the moment he's not far from the Tories....

They all seem equipped with a mobile phone

If only he hadn't sold our gold reserves on the cheap. Sorry shouldn't mention that.

The corruption of the Tories is mind blowing , the theft through the energy and utilities and financial sector means the elites will face retribution .

So tragic to hear all this.😢

Well, if his buddy Tony hadn't opened the borders, the country might be in a better financial position to do something about it. But if so much of the welfare bill is going to housing migrants, what on earth does he expect? Agreed that little has been done about this in the last 14 years, but Tony's ruination of the constitution and the poltiticisation of the civil service put the boot into any efforts made.

The cost of housing immigrants comes from the Overseas Aid Budget not the Welfare Budget. But I agree that this is getting out of control.

Sunak is 120mil richer.....no coincidence methinks
