Labour isn't working - Thread 6

[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.

😂😂😂😂

‘Which includes socialists, who I think are generally the most unpleasant, dishonest thieves of any political stripe. I actually don't think that's accidental - it's why they feel entitled to steal from everyone else.’

Wolves in sheep’s clothing! The Labour Party Fabian society coat of arms says it all.

Reminds me of when my friend’s exh who’d tried to claim to HMRC that a house was his (parents signed over for IHT reasons) but to the divorce court that it belonged to his parents stil, do not hid asset to share….
The divorce judge told him in no uncertain terms that he couldn’t argue both… Unfortunately tho’ there were no consequences because these dodgy people always get away with it…

Has been said in LBC that she ‘took her name off the deeds’ of the other house before purchasing Hove’ -but you can’t just ‘take your name off deeds’ - tempted to call in to ask that. Surely there are CGT implications if you transfer it to another person who is not your spouse..?

She is getting divorced from her husband so you absolutely can in those circumstances. However, I suspect she has bought the Brighton flat as her main residence given that it’s an expensive property. She will probably buy something much cheaper in her Northern constituency and pay the second home stamp duty on that one instead, thereby saving herself some dosh.

It’s just come up on my news feed that she’s escaped the £40k stamp duty on the £800k second home she’s bought!
Will it ever stop? 😡

Not likely. Labour are the gift that keeps on giving.

Germany is deporting failed AS males to Afghanistan isn’t it.
Someone needs to get a grip but we have no leaders.
Perhaps the Blunkett suggestion of suspending the ECHR might work.
Northern Ireland is in the crossfire tho!

I think, so far, those men have been failed asylum seekers with criminal convictions.

Edit: just a formatting quirk.

I think there's a lot of cross party pressure on the ECHR now.

I think having people like Blunkett and more recently, Jack Straw - who won't be viewed cynically by the government will carry more weight though.

When recess is over on Monday, it'll be interesting to see where all the chips land. It feels like there's been so much movement since they broke up.

FYI there's always a tweet with Labour. She has a fucking nerve

More breathtaking hypocrisy.

Hypocrite. They all are.
I don't think any of this will go down well with her constituents. Her primary residence is now an £800k flat in Hove. Her constituency is a poor area in the NW. Perhaps she's thought, fuck it, I'm gonna lose my seat anyway, may as well grab what I can.

Absolutely.

A fucking brass neck.

Who decides on what a house is worth? If the EA values it at £500k, I put it on the market for £510k and someone offers me £490k for it, and someone else offers £480k, what's it actually worth?

When you have a choice market.

i.e. When the bid/offer spread meets.

Until then, fair value would be the mid point.

‘Her primary residence is now an £800k flat in Hove.

Her constituency is a poor area in the NW.’

Welcome to our Labour government everyone!!

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Yep. Animal Farm.

How many times have we heard Farage being attacked for rarely visiting Clacton?
Yet Rayner moves to the opposite end of the fucking country and all is well.
Such bullshit.

😂😂😂😂🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ If ever one needed proof that the guardian is a hive of shit useless fake news… someone somewhere over the rainbow might believe it.

Business confidence rises🙈😂😂🙈🙈🙈

I live in Farage's area (not Clacton, but a village in the constituency). I don't understand everyone who says he's never here. He is here SO much! More present than any other MP I've known

I hope Reform are ramping up their campaign in her constituency -preferably will s as candidate who’s always lived there.

Just saw that it was a 6k majority over Reform so with greater turnout and tanking conservatives and possibly split Labour vote with the Fruit and Nut cake party, she may have done the math (she clearly has friends who can help her to add up and take away when it comes to tax dodging) and realised that she’ll be gone anyway next time

Meant to add this

The YouGov MRP poll in June has Ashton under Lyne switching to reform. They did come a healthy second in the g.e.

Ah yes business confidence rises says the guardian. Stop talking shit [I paraphrase] says the boss of ASDA 😂😂
