2) Tory Cabinet Ministers & cronies with investments in UK Hedge funds have reportedly made a fortune "shorting the pound" ahead of profligate tax cuts proposed by UK PM #LizTruss and her Treasurer, Chancellor #KwasiKwarteng. This is corruption on a huge scale.
3) Prime Minister #LizTruss hosted a dinner for hedge fund managers shortly before her spending plans sparked a selling frenzy in sterling and gilts. “They were all supporters of Truss and every one of them was shorting the pound,” said a prominent source.
4) Multimillionaire #JacobReesMogg along with other Tory MPs & their cronies have reputedly also increased their fortunes in the recent "shorting the Pound" scam. #ReesMogg may be even richer over the next few months from a multi-million pound payout from selling his hedge fund.
5) The UK Tory Govt are a gang of privileged spivs who have enriched themselves by privatisation of national assets & essential utilities; also corruptly handing Covid PPE contracts to Tory cronies; and most recently, operating illegal hedge fund scams to short the Pound.
