Labour isn't working - Thread 6

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 see Darren - 'let's call disability benefits pocket-money'- Jones, has stepped out from Reeves' shadow and has been given a role to deliver on the PM's priorities.

Stirring a bucket of 💩doesn't make it less 💩

Hello 👋 Great to have you back 😁.
Glad you've had a nice holiday.

Thanks and @twistyizzy😀

I tell you it’s so nice to be out of Labour’s hypocrisy for a while and the endless support from the usual. So good! And the general niceness of a holiday of course. A pity they’re still in gov, hope they’ve had another poll drop

Yes, the polls still only going in one direction.
Hope you feel refreshed after a lovely break from it all.

Gilt market is back off holiday and isn't very happy

The yield curve.
Markets can see a series of growing annual deficits into the future so are demanding a higher return

Hola back from a great holiday, so glad to see new names on the thread!

A quick glance at other threads and still pro Starmer Labour posters and wanting higher taxes all the usual. Was so nice to have a break, will avoid the news for a bit still as too much of a bump back.

Edited

Welcome back! Yes all the usual on some threads…along the lines of all will be well now Starmer has had his little reshuffle.

twistyizzy · 01/09/2025 11:16

This is also a good one as compares Truss to Labour for 10 Yr gilts. So if anyone again says "Truss" then share this with them.

Thanks @twistyizzy.
It really is beyond denial now, and the rise is sustained. Bad news all round.

Hello Eastern! Glad you had a good holiday, welcome back.

What have I just seen here?....

Rachel Reeves on X: "It’s back to school time. I sat down with kids to answer their questions, and talk about what we’re doing to give every child the best possible chances in life. t.co/F9yiGCrk1e" / X https://share.google/IE4F2jcvI5npRLsrt

Wtf, is this the comms we need to settle down the banks and let business know which way the wind is blowing so that they can plan? And that music, the equivalent of a tinkly laugh, come on now

Reeves is clearly a DWW….

I'm surprised and shocked I tell you....

Yes, all the leaks have made it hard to know what to do and doing nothing seems like a sensible option. Awful for the economy though.

I think they'll let her deliver this inevitable but utterly toxic budget and then send her packing.

BBC readers post:

Who remembers Darren Jones on question time, when he claimed that the large majority of small boat migrants were women and children. The man is either a fool or a liar. Should he be in charge of anything more than feeding Larry the cat?

That earned 406 Likes….

ThePhantomoftheEcobubbleOpera · 01/09/2025 14:20

It must be 2020 again, Your Party are falling out over whether women are a sex class (Hussain) or just a bunch of dresses and pink brains (Sultana). Of course shots of bigotry have already been fired.

Their new comms strategy seems to be impersonating b list reality tv stars and trotting out nuggets of wisdom…

Labour government entering phase two, Starmer says.

Please, no - not phase two….

I hope this government isn’t like the Mission Impossible franchise….

Which version are we on now?

The thing is they tinker around with advisors when in reality it's the cabinet who need to go!

No 10 says mini Downing Street reshuffle shows government now has 'relentless focus on delivery'

Delivering what? Another slew of tax rises, another pile of pain on SME’s, OAP’s, farmers, PS parents…

I would rather they simply delivered on getting themselves out of government, tout suite.
