labour mp explains why 'britain is broke' - using biscuits

Richard Burgon,who represents Leeds East,used a mountain of 200 packs of fusilli to demonstrate what £1billion looks like compared to the average UK salary of £33,000 – illustrated by just four spirals of the pasta.

In the clip,viewed more than 650,000 times on X,Burgon points to the enormous pile and says: ‘No one needs this amount of wealth. It’s absolutely sickening.’

It comes as Labour HQ is searching for new ways to grip the nation and sell its prospectus for a second term by 2029.

The party is looking to take a leaf out of right-wing competitors such as Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick,both of whom have long made use of social media content to consolidate their large online following.
