gbnews.com/alerts. >> hello, good evening to you. do you ever get the feeling this government cares more about their globalist friends abroad than you and me in britain? >> you have to choose now between davos or westminster. >> davos. >> davos. >> oh silly me, we knew that already. of course, that was the prime minister last year, in a now infamous admission that he'd rather be swanning around with technocrat billionaires at the world economic forum than being in his own country. and rachel reeves was doing precisely that at davos this week. >> the budget in october did was draw a line under the economic and financial mismanagement of the conservative government. i've now put our public finances in order. >> in order. i'm not quite sure everything's quite in order. the economy is tanking. everyone's skint. businesses are cutting thousands of jobs, and our quality of lives are getting

worse. so what happens? just days after the chancellor's visit to her world economic forum chums? well, right on cue, reeves says she's up forjoining reeves says she's up for joining an eu customs deal. the pan euro mediterranean convention as a way of having closer economic ties with brussels. >> we are absolutely happy to look at these different proposals because we know that the deal that the previous government secured is not working well enough. >> and in perhaps one of the biggest examples yet of this labour government gaslighting the electorate, the chancellor is now going around blaming brexit for britain's flatlining gdp. absolutely nothing to do with her record tax rises, huge pubuc with her record tax rises, huge public sector pay cuts or pay rises, rather, or her own doom and gloom rhetoric. and let's ignore the facts that we had the fastest growing economy in the g7 last year before labour took oven g7 last year before labour took over. no, no, no, it's because the plebs you voted for independence away from the eu gravy train. reeves told the observer newspaper today there are loads of estimates showing

the negative impact of brexit on the negative impact of brexit on the uk economy. and she added what i want to do is get some of that gdp back by having a better trading relationship with the european union. so there you go. there you have it, black and white from her own mouth, the great brexit betrayal becomes clearer every day. and while this government is selling us down the river with creepy globalists in davos back home in britain, we're suffering the effects. a family run bakery in harrogate announced it's closing for good after 119 years in business, after blaming the chancellor for the fail. the final nail in their coffin. lancaster's bakery blamed the government's hike in employer costs, such as small business rates, relief for the collapse in addition to the spiralling cost of living. so while rome burns back home, why is reeves swanning around davos anyway? we're told she's there to meet leaders in the global business community, to encourage them to put their money back into the uk and back british business. but let's be clear, she's not even met british farmers that she and

her colleagues have so badly thrown under the bus. >> people watching you in davos amongst all these millionaires and you saying, well, i've listened to this community are wondering why you can't listen to the farmers. >> all this points to one clear conclusion in my mind anyway, it seems davos man starmer and rachel from accounts care more about their billionaire buddies on the world stage than they do about the everyday man and woman and child of this country. and i argue they just don't get britain. look what the pm did in the immediate aftermath of southport. he turned up for 19 seconds, laid some flowers down and then raced back to downing street for a drinks party held for luvvies celeb labour donors. what a joke. this week he called southport one of the most harrowing moments in our country's history. but it seems that southport wasn't harrowing enough for the prime minister to swerve or cancel that pathetic dnnk swerve or cancel that pathetic drink ceremony. so i say again, the pm doesn't get britain. just

look how he chose to celebrate burns night in scotland this week. burns night in sco
