[TheNuthatch]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. Labour isn't working!

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

I can’t recall some anger on here for sure, it would be kind of funny if we weren’t actually living with the impact of Labour.

@HopeInPink Yes I know what you mean. The pink protest was brilliant 👏. Welcome to the thread.
@Namechangeragin and @Noseyoldcow Yes it appears to be incompetence on steroids. Maybe labour have decided that they want to lose the next election. They're much happier shouting and name calling from opposition, as are their loyal supporters. I don't know about the chinese embassy story? Please feel free to share. Welcome to the thread 😁.

@EasternStandard How do you like your gammon? I like it with pineapple, dh likes it with egg 🤣🤣

Haha it’s such an out of date insult too 😬 We’ve had loads since then, they could at least try to keep up.

I agree. Was so impressed with those women -singing the old songs etc and felt so ashamed that the Metropolitan Labour have come so far away from valuing real hardworking families

@Parsley4321 Did you get the peke? I need a pupdate.

@TheNuthatch ophelia or hermione is on layaway this means I am buying her slowly one paw at a time 🤣🤣🤣I might get the whole beast by Easter 🐣 depending on how business goes x today was a great day I got a pair of mirrors worth a monkey each £60 😎she cd be coming soon x and this beast £5 lion

Love it 😂. You do make me laugh, (in a very good way).
Bargain on your mirrors and lion. Love it. You have excellent taste.
Keep flogging those tutus, and Ophelia/Hermione will be there in no time. Can't wait to see her again. She looks very prim and proper 🥰.
My dogs are working line spaniels, so batshit, never sit still, mad as a box of frogs, and permanently scruffy no matter how hard I try to make them look respectable. I suppose they're a lot like me when I put it like that 😂.

@TheNuthatch I love spaniels in fact most all dogs so much better than most humans in all ways the best company ever

Wow

Fucking hell. What a fucking hypocrite she is.

I've been lurking on these threads and this has prompted me to break cover!

Wow indeed.
The minister for homelessness makes 4 people homeless for financial gain. Ali then tries to charge her new tenants for cleaning and painting, which is unlawful.
This should cost Ali her position.

I’m sure as we speak labour are trying to find ways to target tax rises at more groups they don’t think vote for them. That not taxing working people rhetoric has aged badly and is going to look worse…

it’s a phenomenon worsening over the last 10 years people can’t debate anything or agree to hold different views without vilifying the other side anymore, very worrying for the world.

Welcome @NoWordForFluffylove a break through poster, the nice ones 😀

'Should' being the operative word. Do I think she will? Will she fuck!

Welcome 😄

We are a working spaniel household, it's nuts but never boring 🤣

We're a working line Labrador house. Not quite as bonkers as spaniels, I think!

Definitely not! My gundog trainer always recommended Labs as a first dog, springer as a 2nd dog, working cocker as a 3rd and HPR as 4th. We jumped straight to #3 🤣🤣🤣 They are the Ferrari (or Mclaren??) of the working dog world. Then HPRs are a whole other level, concorde level!!!

JC (and that’s not Hezza). What have I just read. I haven’t been on this thread for a while but .. had to say wow.. Even I’m shocked by how low the current incarnation of Labour will stoop. She’s the minister in charge of fcking homelessness.

Heads should roll and it’s shouldn’t stop at this hypocritical wretch.

In summary. You couldn’t make it up.

Sorry do know links have already been added, more than once. But it bears repeating again and again.

There’s such a festering stench coming from Labour party towers. .

@NoWordForFluffy Welcome. Great to have you on the thread. I'm used to discussing our shared love of outdoor drying with you 😂.
@twistyizzy Yey! Another lover of the working cocker. I adore the breed, have had them for decades now. My latest addition is the real deal! Full on FTC champion lines. I thought I knew what I was doing with WCs until I bought her 😂. She makes all my other WCs (past and present) look calm and collected. She is chaos on 4 legs, but bloody awesome. Being on the moors with a spanner and a whistle is my happy place.

Back to politics, yes it stinks to high heaven. The hypocracy is also on another level. It seems to be par for the course with this version of Labour.

Ali should be fired immediately, but I won't hold my breath.

Oh she has to be. This week, they can’t not sack her surely?

We’ve got cats and dogs galore 😁 (and cute though definitely unwanted foxes)
