Nigel Farage has slammed “doomed” Sir Keir Starmer after the Prime Minister enlisted Gordon Brown into No10’s inner circle.

The former Prime Minister was appointed as a special envoy on global finance as part of Sir Keir’s reset.

Downing Street confirmed Sir Keir is eyeing up ways to boost the country’s security and resilience, adding: “Gordon Brown will advise on how global finance can help to achieve this.”

His appointment comes as part of Sir Keir Starmer’s “reset” following a devastating set of election results where Labour lost more than 1,400 seats across England.

While Sir Keir said the move was “future-looking”, the Reform UK chief said: “An unpopular Prime Minister who lost a general election is now seen by Starmer as being the saviour. Labour are doomed.”

Meanwhile, party economics spokesman Robert Jenrick chimed in with his leader, issuing a damning response as well.

“Genius,” he sarcastically slung. “Bring back the guy who gave away our gold reserves to advise on ‘economic resilience’.

“What could possibly go wrong?”
