Gordon Brown urges Rachel Reeves to hike gambling taxes at Budget

It was an old reference.

Brown managed to tell the markets that he was going to sell all our gold reserves last century before he sold them to buy Euros or some crap, and sold all the UK gold reserves at the historic lowest price for many decades.

This is after he published a book called Post‑neoclassical endogenous growth theory for which he was ridiculed.

Now we have Rachel from accounts running the economy. Can't wait to see the title of the book that she writes.

Or we could sell all that gold we have.
- We'd be better off raiding pensions.
