Two former Labour leaders back in No10 with jobs today:
Gordon Brown as Prime Minister’s Special Envoy on Global Finance: “The PM has committed to boosting the country’s security and resilience. In this role, Gordon Brown will advise on how global finance cooperation can help to achieve this.”
Harriet Harman as Prime Minister’s Adviser on Women and Girls: “The PM committed to do more to eradicate structural misogyny and achieve a cultural change. This appointment will help to accelerate progress.”
How will it land…
Gordon Brown sold 12,712,000 ounces of gold at a historic market low for revenue of $3.5 billion.
Sold today at $4,721.64 per ounce that would net $60 billion.
Or £44.05 billion.
Green Deputy Leader Rachel Millward said:
“The reality is that it’s Zack Polanski who brought the nation, Andy Burnham. And if we hadn’t had the success of the Green Party in this last year since Zack’s been leading, which has been unprecedented, phenomenal success and a growth from about 60,000 members to 230,000, if we hadn’t had that much pressure on Labour, then we’d probably still be in the Starmer regime, which was pretty much ushering in a Reform government with its lurch to the right. So actually, what we’re seeing now is that we’ve set the political agenda and the government is picking that up.”
