[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.

No judgement from me hun, I love watching them work and would do it myself if I could. I'm just too much of a wimp lol. Some of my wcs have been hunting rejects who didn't make the grade. It's very good for the dogs.

@NoWordForFluffy He/she is gorgeous! Love a fox red lab. The carrot cigar 😂

It's fine I know it's a contentious issue, I seem to be drawn to them 🤣🤣

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has backed Rushanara Ali.
Reeves says Ali 'seems to have done everything in accordance with the law'. She also said she doesn't understand why the conservatives are calling for her resignation.

Looks like Labour are doubling down and backing Ali.

Yes heard a minister this morning on the radio (can’t remember which one) parroting that same thing to Nick Ferrari.
Just apalling obfuscation.

She also said she doesn't understand why the conservatives are calling for her resignation.

And therein lies the problem with Labour in one sentence!

Our dog is a he (I'm sure you noticed the washing line prop too, @TheNuthatch 🤣). He bloody loves a 🥕

I didn’t hear it but everything is like this. God knows how anyone trusts what they say.

They are like that with everything though. Just parrot pre-prepared soundbites and 100% obfuscation.
They are all, without exception, mendacious liars.

Yep you’ve got it.

More trouble ahead - 4 percent inflation, possibly the last rate cut this year…

Interest rates are cut but Bank warns of new UK inflation shock

Sure that will be a "surprise" to Labour 🙄

Yes they’re clearly facing the completely unpredictable and surprising inflationary results of increasing costs on major food retailers (and everyone else).

I had a building project priced in 2022. Now re-priced as going ahead in 2025. 157k to 188k. Same reputable builder.

It’s a shock to Labour but not to anyone else
sorry for dog derail 😜

ouch @MrsGuyOfGisbo ! Always happy for a dog derail - mine is from a show dog line though and he definitely doesn’t do much except strut about looking for adoration.

She’s not going to be sacked? Says it all. Plebs - this is what your masters think of you.

They are all Teflon. No accountability or admission of fault.

Thanks for the times link @Arrearing50. All entirely predictable when they went after business in a fragile economy. The inflation stats are worrying, especially when you consider that ours will be much higher than the US and the EU. It's all so much worse than it was when Labour came in.

Shocking from Labour that Ali hasn't been sacked. Her position is totally untenable. This really sums them up doesn't it.
It really doesn't get much worse than a homelessness minister making people homeless. Apparently Starmer thinks it's fine.

4 more years.

What will be left after 4 more years?
Job market is shot, economy shot, education shot, prospects for graduates shot, local communities torn apart......how the fuck can it get worse at this stage?

Ali has now resigned.

Starmer's response to her resignation letter reads like a glowing review. I don't think she's lost the whip, just resigned as a minister.

I know it's shit. Kemi B looks like the only grown up in the room this week.

Ffs they should have sacked her. It's disgraceful

Just caught up with Ali fux sake what a total tool these lot are so much worse than the tories sanctimonious pricks

Of course they’re all propping each other up at this point. Pathetic.

Why are these corrupt greedy people allowed to ‘resign’?? Sack the snouts in the trough greedy champagne socialists. I’m being polite.

Resign? The minister for the homeless who effectively , made people homeless for her own financial benefit 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑. , is allowed by ‘women can have penises’ ‘we tax children’s education’ ’we take away benefits from disabled people’ ’we take away benefits from old people’ Starmer, to resign.

He doesn’t think she should be sacked. What the hell are we dealing with here?? I can hardly imagine. well. We don’t need to do we. 🤢🤑😵‍💫🤯🤯🤯🤯
