Andy Burnham urged to unleash hard-left tax blitz that would turn UK into Soviet Russia
Express ^ | June 28 | Harvey Jones

Posted on 06/28/2026 9:28:41 AM PDT by RandFan

A 50% top rate of income tax, a mansion tax, a fresh tax blitz on buy-to-let landlords and tougher taxes on inheritances may only be the start as Labour looks set to take a sharp lurch to the left. Many fear what will happen if net zero zealot Ed Miliband is made chancellor. But whoever Burnham appoints, they will face relentless pressure to do the one thing Labour MPs always want: hike spending and find somebody to tax to pay for it. They will pretend only the rich will pay, but as we've seen, in practice working people and pensioners typically end up footing the bill.

Burnham is surrounded by hard-left cronies who want to extend the state into every corner of our economy, crushing businesses, profit and growth in the process. It'll take us straight back to the 1970s, when the unions ran amok and Labour chancellors boasted about taxing the rich "until the pips squeak". We could soon find ourselves looking back fondly on the days of Chancellor Rachel Reeves. Even though she hit us with £70billion of tax rises, borrowed another £300billion and drove national debt towards £3trillion.

just about the only thing possibly better than the IslamoNazi dictatorship UK’s Ruling Elite has sold the place out to....

would be a communist dictatorship.

But better NOT BY MUCH!

it is so sad that the good British people (and there are still many I believe) couldn’t throw all their traitors and dangerous invaders OUT and regain the relatively free and civilized society they once had

I heard that Burnham is going to make the old Beatles Taxman song the UK’s national anthem.

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.

So this little Marxist prick who got about 25,000 votes will kick the misery up to 11 for the whole country.

The current UK is a vile, horrible place.

Life in Airstrip One, Oceania is looking good at this point.

Brits really should have a revolution over this madness!

Oh, wait, they gave up most of their guns. Never mind.

” UK’s Ruling Elite has sold the place out”

All being done intentionally. These are not events just happening on their own and they are scrambling to respond in some ‘moral’ and ‘humane’ way, all lies.

Invented chaos and lawlessness and crisis after crisis being foisted upon the Western world using Cloward Piven and Saul Alinsky tactics to create confusion, uncertainty and chaos. To make the West pliable and more easily controlled.

The Christian West being pulled up by the roots:
1 - Russia in 1917
2 - China in 1949
3 - West starting about 2010

There is no single evil cabal headquarters where the meet and scheme. They are the CIA, MI6, deep state Blob, the WEF, CFR, Bilderbergs, IMF, Chatam House, CCP controlled WHO, WTO, Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, Rothschilds and others still operating in secret.

They use the MSM to control the collective consent of the public while concealing their activities. After Biden they quit caring if they could be seen operating openly. Only the USA is pushing back. President Trump was never supposed to make a comeback. Now they are just waiting him out while positioning their own into place everywhere else.

England is being destroyed by using the Court system. Where cowardly politicians never have to make the unpopular decisions, they simply stand aside and allow it.

The spirit of Anti-Christ empowers these people. That spirit pulls three kingdoms up by the roots in the last days:
“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” - Daniel 7:8

I hear stories being told by the British World Cup attendees, pf a land far, far away, full of good people with the greatest food they've ever tasted, and the most freedoms they've ever seen, and the most friendly people they've ever met. Many of those Britons say they want to live there and never come back to England. I hear tell that attendees from other countries feel the same and want to move to that Shangri-la.

I have no idea what place they are talking about, but, they visited mostly the red areas they hear about, like a place called Texas. The blue areas are not mentioned much.

Prices in that Shangri-la are affordable and the sites are beautiful, so they say. I myself would like to find out what they're talking about before it all goes to hell.

Hi
thanks for the views.

there is certainly a pretty consistent and long-term assault on traditional Judeo-Christian morality (including individual liberty) and western civilization generally.

this was an informative (and entertaining in its way) interview

If Andy really were using the old Soviet rules or approach, he’d have Farange arrested and disappeared.

Thanks for the link, I remember watching this decades ago, I don’t recall on which program this would’ve aired though? Worth watching again,

They want the world in a totalitarian CCP style controlled digital economic gulag with 15 minute cities and CBDCs and Social Credit Scores. See Revelation Chapter 13.

They want children mutilated, gender confused, marked up on their bodes and presented like some hideous demonic spirits by which they follow the doctrines of. The drag queen ‘birds of paradise’ imagery they all represent. Fulfilling The hateful birds of Babylon from Revelation Chapter 18.

They want the human genome corrupted with the workings of evil men like Fauci and Yuval Noah Harari. Human MRNA and DNA tares from the wheat which God has made. Where they can use the life and death requirements for a Vaccine ID to force compliance or death by not worshiping anti-Christ. We witnessed the very beginnings of this evil in 2020. See the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares.

Lastly Satan desperately needs Jerusalem divided, to ‘legally’ steal the inheritance from God which he will present to his Son Jesus for ownership. To break the everlasting covenant, to corrupt the rainbow as the sign of Gods Covenant over the Earth and all of creation. To break the Jubilee restoration. See Isaiah Chapter 28.

This last one is IMO what sets off the time of the end. Where the Heavenly Court (Sanhedrin, 24 elders shown ) goes into session to adjudicate ownership.

For the euros it’s the Coudenhove-Kaleri plan, the Fabian Society and Aldous Huxley.
