I joined @gbnews in May 2021, well before the channel launched. Coming from Yorkshire, I felt many people round the country weren't having their voices heard. It's been a wild ride, but look how far we've come in just 3 1/2 years. .

Lord Glassman says seeds of UK’s problems sown by “Thatcher decimating our industrial base”. Says re-industrialisation will be centred round arms production given massive increase in defence spending promised at NATO.

BREAKING: Government wins welfare vote, 335 to 260. But the bill as passed is nothing like what it was a week, or even a day ago. And Rachel Reeves’ £5 billion saving has vanished. Labour has gone to war with itself.

“The winds of change are blowing”, Lord Glassman, architect of Blue Labour, tells @GBNEWS. Warns that in the most deprived areas ( with highest numbers of people receiving PIP) it’s Reform that is gaining ground.

John Glen describes welfare system as “a profound tragedy” which “brings too many into dependence on the state and that is not right”. A statement most would agree with.
