Talk about clutching straws.
The Starmer thread started after years of Tory misgovernment. It’s not full of labour fan girls by any means. Do any of you ever criticise the sainted tories or Nige ? Did you criticise the 900k Johnson frittered on wallpaper ?
Sad but you’re just coming across as sad losers, ironic because many of the governments policies are exactly what the tories would have done given a chance.

Judging by recent polls, I suspect many people have already decided.

😂 It's been 5 minutes, not 14 years of shit. And obviously idiots voting reform, the rest of the vote isn't the tories.

Approval has fallen, but is is far far too early to tell, the country is in such a state, any party would be getting slated. It'll take years to repair the destruction caused by the conservatives.

5 minutes of any government dealing with the shitstorm left by the tories would struggle. It is a mammoth task to sort out their mess.

Bridget V Teachers
That would be an interesting battle on MN.

It looks like she’s limbering up already given comments on NEU

Is it?

The cold weather payments, the benefit storm, the private school VAT fiasco?

Siddiq Tulip and Louise Haight?

All of their own making.

Well said.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 14/04/2025 21:57

Yes,

5 minutes is all it took.

True I don’t think anyone in Labour would be happy they’ve taken such a short time to lose support.

The disapproval rating is high. Approval low. Obviously some still believe and are on mn. Although other threads cover the pro Labour stance.

Bedding plants 😜

Ah yes I forgot, all roads lead back to plants on this thread. Yes I have plenty of criticism for Tulip Siddiq, Jas Athwal, Mike Amesbury, Andrew Gwynne and Dan Norris. It's a shame others' views are far less skewed than mine.

This made me laugh. Why do people get so annoyed on behalf of their party. Clearly this thread is not pro Labour one. There’s others that are.

Nant90 · 14/04/2025 22:53

This is a funny thread. I've lurked on the Labour ones and on many of the political threads over the last few years and a lot of people on that have been criticising the Tories for years. On this one it's all these outraged comments from people who are terrified of what Labour will do next, disgusted by every decision that has been made, appalled by every slip and misstep but were apparently perfectly sanguine throughout the 14 years of decline, including the last 5-6 years of complete and utter chaos and corruption. It's very weird.

TheNuthatch · 14/04/2025 23:06

The OP is self explanatory.

I am so frustrated by red Ed that I could scream. He is almost singlehandedly bankrupting the UK with his crackpot ideas. It is no is turning everything green if the cost bankrupt the country. No point giving up the UK's right to have furnesses if then we have to import coal from China so a higher cost and transporting costs. Not exactly green to transport so many things from other countries. We'd be fat better keeping our own capability to produce coal. He's closed down opening new gas beds in North sea off Scotland. Again well have to import from other countries. In the meantime the UK energy cost are going through the roof. I'm sick of RR and mismanagement of the economy. I read somewhere in the last 6 months 11,500 millionaires have left the UK. These were the people paying high taxes. She thought she'd squeeze more out of them but instead they've left. Her policy on Non Dom's is now bringing in less tax than before she made her so called reforms. She's attacked Non Dom's, DC in independent schools who are now flooding the state system, farmers putting our food security in jeopardy, the elderly, the disabled, all while milking the freebies for her self. KS is a disgrace taking freebies for himself and his wife while old people die from the cold. I can't wait until we can vote again and hopefully they will be voted out.

Parsley1234 · 15/04/2025 07:49

@EasternStandard Bridge limbering up now I can’t get that imagine out of my head what is happening with the NEU ?
surely the most terrifying thing has to be Lindsay Hoyle in his waders wading in discounting the evidence the government has used forever about SEN in the court case
in other news my well connected friend 😜told me that her friends massive company has 30% off sick most of the time unsustainable much and losing 11500 millionaires well just from her musings all her mates have left the uk
Red Ed is a fucking imbecile I live near to Limedown and went through Norton last week the proposed height of the solar panels are 4 massive hay bales high 20ft fuck this bullshit

EasternStandard · 15/04/2025 09:01

@Parsley1234 informal talk of strike action by NEU over teacher pay being too low and also unfunded.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said "any move towards industrial action by teaching unions would be indefensible".

Along those lines. Labour will be loathed by nearly everyone soon. Bar a few on mn.

SomethingSScintillating · 15/04/2025 09:23

Wow labour turning on teachers but please remember those in FE and HE had zero pay rises at all and FE is often the mop up for those with Sen failed by the school system.

All the allowances seem to have gone to red Ed.

Parsley1234 · 15/04/2025 09:48

@EasternStandard they certainly are going for broke Red Ed in his fiefdom is going well though. I absolutely cannot stand these green parasites I live close to Dale Vince who goes to the same health club as me champagne bloody socialists. Mind you I don’t think he dares show his face there he wd be given the cold shoulder I wager

...and who could do with a little bit of balance to their collective perspective. It is a jaw droppingly biased thread but nonetheless entertaining to see how some actually think.

Parsley1234 · 15/04/2025 09:49

@SpringerSprockerCocker there are many other threads you might find more sympatico to your bias ? We like it here

EasternStandard · 15/04/2025 09:55

Exactly. If people want pro Labour stuff there’s plenty on mn

As I have already said, I have plenty to criticise about Labour. I just have a balanced view across the political spectrum. It is amazing that you all seem to think everything that is wrong with the country has happened in the last eight months.

I like it here too. It's an eye opener as I don't know anyone in this kind of thinking in real life. It helps me understand how we ended up with Brexit.

EasternStandard · 15/04/2025 09:59

Plenty of pro Starmer threads too if you’re keen @SpringerSprockerCocker

We are having a chat that doesn’t really need the same pro Labour stuff as nice as it is you want to read it.

Parsley1234 · 15/04/2025 10:13

@SpringerSprockerCocker realky you don’t know anyone who thinks like this ? All of my demographic think like this everyone i know is completely disgusted by these grifters

For the umpteenth time I am not pro Labour. Why is it so hard to understand that not everyone is as polarised as you are?
