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.

Yep, not exactly a role model I would want my girls to aspire to.

I don't buy all this shtick about how much Rayner has achieved, working class, teenage mum, now deputy pm blah blah blah.
I just think she's a token wc northerner with a big gob. Promoted way beyond her abilities to keep certain factions happy. She just needs to shout 'scum' now and again to keep them onside.

Agreed - the equivalent of a diversity hire, who’s utility was to keep the unions onside, and presumably because Starmer did not plausibly consider her as a threat.

Even the Guardian can smell it. It stinks. The only place she is being defended is on MN. Even her house valuation of £650K is a potentially convenient tax dodge.

All that ‘safe routes’ ‘faster processing’ blah blah will be out in a day. They’ll embrace no asylum for women and children no problem.

No principles and rank hypocrisy.

Agree on the nauseating Rayner stuff, I can’t read those threads the cheerleading makes me feel nauseous.

You're right Eastern. We should name this the no women and children policy. That's what it is.

They have the cheek to call tories nasty. I was again labelled far-right a few days ago on MN.

Another one from the Guardian. They are not happy.

So apparntly Yvette has been challenged by her own back benchers and Jodie gosling labour Nuneaton asked how migrants would be vetted and dispersed ,especially groups known to be high risk ,to safe guard our communities

Coopers response : "anyone who comes to our country needs to abide by our laws ,the rules need to be enforced ".

😱.

Who wants to donate through tax to " re educating thousands and thousands of young men on all our laws especially around sex education, equality and so on ??

Don't worry @TheNuthatch, even the BBC is being tarred with the far-right stick lately 😂

So we must wait until they commit an offence first to weed out the wrong uns.
Meanwhile we ban women and children.

Of course they also think that the Rwanda plan was 'inhumane'.

Really? Good God.
If the BBC are far-right, I'm screwed 😂

Great. Let's see which of these undocumented men are the bad ones by observing which ones we need to arrest for criminality. How is that compatible with reducing harm to women and girls?

🎯

Why has Rayner got a court order banning her from transparency about her tax affairs please

Because she could not lie straight in bed.

Evidently, you can take the girl out of Stockport…. (With due respect to those who herald from, reside in Stockport)

@menonprohibebis well very true but jeez what an awful lying twit

I don't know Parsley. No10 have confirmed that a court order is in place, but not why.

Bizarre

It utterly reeks.

She has been reported as using Shoosmiths for trust purposes. I suspect that she is simply buying time whilst she ‘manages’ the subsequent narrative with them first.

Absolutely. Its certainly the most plausible explanation.

I have to say, her tax dodging endeavours are the first thing she's ever done that have impressed me 😂. She's given me a few ideas.
Top marks Ange.

She’s such a fucking grifter I wish she wd get in her dingy and fuck off to the far side of fuck if

🤣🤣

She could be the "1 out"

The French might pop it though 🤣

Brilliant.

I suppose the writing was on the wall early doors, with her penchant for freebies from ME+EM etc.

Gotta admire her brass neck.

Actually we could use the 1 in 1 out to deport Labour. Happily accept a few dozen refugees to replace Labour

She did nothing for the brand to be fair.
