Ainu to think Angela Rayners has been set up to fail on her 1.5m homes target ?
you can barely get planning permission through for a small extension in under 10 weeks let alone 1.5 m new homes
Every month that goes by the shortage compounds
I wonder if Kier has set her up to fail

Just for someone wider context on the pp observing a woman not being able to pay for her shopping at the supermarket yesterday, here is some data from the Trussell Trust on food parcel provision. Note the increase from 2010 to 2024…

Each and every case of this is awful and unacceptable, so while I understand your upset, the reality is that many people have been struggling to pay for food for a long time, sadly.

I'm not disputing it Sherbs! I have been buying food throughout that period too. I just haven't seen someone having to remove stuff at the till in a long time. I've really noticed that food has gone up again since the new year. You must see it too?

Listening to the MP this morning it's the lack of accountability that's ridiculous

BoE halve growth and increase inflation and still they can't relate it to their policies

I usually zone out from Labour as they are so dire, it's the only way to deal with their cluelessness

On a more serious note just reading all of the farmers threads from Monday and realising just how damaging these clowns are. I have never felt so scared of the government and their intent ever I am 58. With most other leaders I felt there was intelligence and integrity but not this lot its going to be a long 4 years

I know what you mean Parsley, it's depressing isn't it. I've been off work this week and I've consumed far too much news. We see our local farmer almost daily, he wears a Stuck Farmer hoodie permanently now.
We should all be pissed off at this government, even those who vote labour. They have misled everyone. I saw a woman unable to pay for all of her shopping at the supermarket yesterday, haven't seen that for ages! I felt sick for her.
Appart from the obvious damage to livelihoods they have caused, I really worry about having a man like Starmer in No10 when we have Trump in the Whitehouse.

Excusing the shit growth figures and talking about turning around earlier ones

They did. They took 0.7 per quarter in early 2024 and killed it

No realisation nothing.

In fairness it would be too fabulous to have llamas sitting

Parsley1234 · 12/02/2025 19:58

When’s the reshuffle ? They may have llamas for change in it

Too good to be true, we'd have a decent government then. Or at least less harmful

Parsley1234 · 12/02/2025 20:31

@twistyizzy does she get to relocate and work from home freeing up two sought after state places her kids are using
@TheNuthatch we can but hope and that he does it to the Hokey Cokey

twistyizzy · 12/02/2025 19:44

Wonder what the re-shuffle will look like......very early in a new government to do one of those. Certainly a sign of how much shit they are in.
My vote is for Phillipson to be envoy to Chagos Islands.

I hope Starmer shuffles himself out. Useless C U Next Tuesday

Bloody self IDing as a llama 🤦‍♀️

Feelingathomenow · 12/02/2025 18:57

This is getting ridiculous now. What on earth are people who voted Labour now thinking. They were warned about how useless these people are.

They really haven’t a clue. They’re thrashing around and don’t even appear to be sticking to their own values anymore (maybe because they realise they are unworkable)

EasternStandard · 12/02/2025 18:03

Yvette Cooper is going on a migrant raid next week too. A bit of a change from that photo of her holding her refugees welcome sign!

Haha that's hilarious

I'm finding their attempts pretty amusing in that it's so clueless

Interesting about the group, that'll be it. Reform will be loving the attention and help on numbers

TheNuthatch · 12/02/2025 17:46

It'd a shame Kemi B is as much use as a chocolate teapot. She should be mincing them!

@TheNuthatch and only a couple of weeks ago everyone was 'far right' ;

Crackers. Maybe someone said sort the polling or you're out

'If you don't like these principles I have others' etc

A group of red wall MPs have formed a group (can't remember what they are calling themselves) to put pressure on Starmer to combat the threat of Reform. Harriet Harman was not happy when she spoke about it on Electoral Dysfunction (podcast).

Yvette Cooper is going on a migrant raid next week too. A bit of a change from that photo of her holding her refugees welcome sign!

Yep
She'll be a credit to the team!
