Is GB news right or panic scareing

It came up on my news feed that the government want to monitor the banks if you have more than £500 in . They will be be working with dwp, student finance . That money going into your account however small like gifts from family etc. That could mean that the bank freezes your account while they look into it. I hope its not true. Getting UC next month which would have rent including. My daughter student loans

They were saying as well about needing ID in supermarkets for getting ordinary food. Again is this scaremongering

It very much sounds like scaremongering.

What site was the information from?

Just came up as GB news Patrick Christy was talking about it

Is it April Fools? It would mean anyone receiving benefits monthly would flash up, where would the staff come from, as there is a backlog on everything as it is. And, I have no comment on the supermarket ID story!

I don't know who Patrick Christy is, but from that, I really don't want to know.

Yes, it's scaremongering. It's also hate speech masquerading as news. GB News is the UK equivalent of the USA's Fox News.

Yes, it's scaremongering. GB News is propaganda masquerading as news. It's not credible and you're better off not assuming anything they say is true.

GB News had a state side launch party last night, as they're expanding into the USA and will be streaming on President Trumps' Truth Social plus platform.
