When Nick Candy says David Lammy wouldn’t make it past the janitor role in his office, the media clutches pearls—but maybe it’s time we took the billionaire at his word. Because in Candy’s world, results matter. In Lammy’s world? Receipts do.

🏗️ The Property Tycoon Who Actually Builds Things (Unlike Most MPs)

Let’s get one thing straight: Nick Candy might be rich, posh, and unapologetically Reform—but he’s also a man who gets stuff done. He builds. He invests. He employs people. He doesn’t drain the public purse—he pays for the plush chairs politicians sit on (indirectly, via VAT, stamp duty, and all the taxes the wealthy are endlessly accused of dodging but often still pay).

Candy doesn’t run the government, but maybe that’s the point. He’s not spending your tax money. Lammy, on the other hand? He’s been in government or Parliament for over 20 years—and the taxpayer’s been footing the bill for all of it. 💰🧾

We’re talking about a man who charges thousands in MP expenses—on top of his six-figure salary—and still has the nerve to play the working-class card while renting homes that would bankrupt his own constituents. Lammy’s version of “public service” looks suspiciously like “public-funded prestige.”

Nick Candy, for all the sneering aimed his way, doesn’t owe you a penny. He’s not your MP. He doesn’t claim expenses to speak on Question Time or take taxpayer money to do TED Talks. Lammy does. Candy builds homes for profit. Lammy builds narratives for applause.

So yes, maybe Candy wouldn’t hire him for anything beyond cleaning. Not because Lammy isn’t smart. But because in Candy’s office, performance matters more than posturing. Efficiency over entitlement. And maybe—just maybe—he’s tired of watching taxpayer-funded politicians milk the system while shaming those who dare to fund them.
