Kiki McDonough, a jeweler to the Royal Family, appeared on LBC this week and slammed the Labour government as 'catastrophic'. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Kiki McDonough described the government as 'absolutely hopeless' and lacking stability, direction, and security. She also cited 14 U-turns in two years as particularly damaging for businesses, according to Daily Express - Showbiz.
McDonough has crafted pieces worn by Princess Kate, Queen Camilla, and the late Princess Diana. She celebrated 40 years in business last year. Public reaction to her comments varied, with some viewers agreeing with her criticism of the Labour government.
I think he's absolutely hopeless. I can't even begin to tell you... I mean, I've been watching politics since the late 70s, and honestly and truly I don't think I've ever come across such a hopeless government. I find it really scary – there's no stability, there's no direction, there's no security.
On social media, one viewer praised her for 'saying the important part out loud'. Another viewer noted, 'She's not wrong. ' A third viewer added, 'She's absolutely right though.
Never mind. ' However, others were skeptical. One viewer commented, 'Jeweller to the Royal Family?
Every decision... the 14 U-turns in two years? I mean, if you run a business, it is just catastrophic.
' A further viewer sarcastically remarked, 'There MUST be more that can be done to help those who flog diamonds, emeralds and gold to the richest family in Britain. ' It remains unclear what specific policies or actions by the Labour government led McDonough to call it 'catastrophic'. The full context and format of her LBC appearance have not been detailed.
Additionally, the official response from the Labour government or Keir Starmer to these criticisms has not been reported.
Ms McDonough is saying the important part out loud. A wise lady indeed.
She's not wrong. It's absolutely dire if you're running a business.
She's absolutely right though. Never mind. Three years and they're off for another 35+ years.
Jeweller to the Royal Family? This is better than actual satire.
Boris Johnson made more U-turns and created instability with Brexit and Covid mismanagement.
There MUST be more that can be done to help those who flog diamonds, emeralds and gold to the richest family in Britain. It's truly heartbreaking to listen to this woman.
