Trump officials promised 4%, 5%, even 6% GDP growth. Today, GDP came in at just 1.5%. So Ben pulled the receipts. And there are A LOT of them.

“Harborne has donated £15 million to Reform UK since 2025 and previously gave £10.2 million to the Brexit Party. Reform UK did not respond to a request for comment.” Of course they didn’t. Cheating, lying, grubby little bastards. open.substack.com/pub/channel4...
