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.

Sunak was ridiculed and mocked by Labour throughout yet he was 100% correct.
He was the right PM at the wrong time sadly.

I don’t think we can judge the fairness of that on an edited version.

What is striking, though, is that the basic predictions have been proven true. That clip - and others from the last election - arguing against a Labour government will be prominent after the next budget and it will be very, very painful for Labour.

What’s so patently obvious is that if public spending can’t be brought down, and we know for certain it can’t be after the welfare cuts debacle, and because of the lack of any meaningful growth in the economy, there will have to be substantial tax rises. This is an economic car crash.

Thanks Keir and Rachel. Top work. 🙄

It’s very scary. If they appropriate everything we have, we will not have enough time left to earn it all back again

They'll steal what they can, but there's a limit to what they can take in 1 term. Hold tight.

I'd be far, far more worried if I were low income and relying on the state.

Thank you for that. Very true. Sunak was torn to shreds for claiming that Labour would put up taxes. I watched all the leader debates. Starmer was consistently full of shit, Sunak was consistently shut down.
I was thrilled when Sunak finally lost his shit at one of them and gave Starmer both barrels 😁.

I got loads of shit thrown at me on MN around the time of the debates. My crime? Liking Sunak.

It's so nice to have a thread where being a fan of Sunak doesn't draw abuse ❤️. You are a fab bunch x

Because we aren't bogged down with ideological doctrine

When Sunak and Hunt were running the show, things felt calm and controlled. Starmer and Reeves are the very opposite of this.

I don’t know…I feel low income (or no income) and relying on the state are being taken care of, it’s the rest of us they’re coming for,

Blimey, he can indeed do comms. I was weirdly hypnotised.

Yes I agree.
I'm not just saying this because they're Labour, but it feels rudderless under Starmer.

The Rest Is Politics has a Leading interview with Jeremy Hunt. It's a good listen. He's so calm and measured. If only he was still in the treasury.

That video gave me an ear-worm for the rest of the day 😂

I think I may have PTSD from MN in the run up to the election. It was awful.

“Farage, not Forage, bo selecta!” 😂😂

I think I might fancy him a bit in that video. I need a good hard slap around the chops.

It's the white fur coat 😍😂😂 Sexy bugger.

🤣

🤣

It's just nice to have humour back isn't it?

Amen to that 🙏

Yes it’s the fluffy white coat 😂😍. Bloody mad
times.

Anyway, on a lighter note, I snapped and finally bought a robot vacuum this weekend. I cannot take anymore of the golden gate bridge that is my kitchen floor.

I had to come up with a name to programme it to work with Alexa.

He's robotic, repetitious and sucks the life out of everything. Guess what I named him 😂

"Alexa start Keir" 🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Genius!

🙊 🙊👀😂

🤣🤣🤣🤖👾

That is exactly how i feel about Stärmer!

When things aren't where they're supposed to be, and you ask yourself - how did it get there? 😂

Love that!
