[TheNuthatch]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Alexander was in Blair/Brown cabinets? He was wheeled on to GMB this morning.

I’ve just read that Lammy’s replacing Mahmoud at Justice. What a demotion!

He’s not long for the cabinet.

And to think, all those MN Labourites who swore blind he’s super-duper clever and really able…

No way!

Yes AC knew it was right but also that he’d leaked! A bit of a gaffe from the spin doctor!!

Who the fuck swore blind that Lammy was "super duper clever". They had a lobotomy recently?

I don't understand that one either. I thought Murray was popular in that role.
Agree on Reed.

Ah, so that’s his leaving present. Utterly stupid move. Lammy isn’t going inspire any confidence inside or outside the Labour Party.

The next ‘phase’ of this Labour government looks like it may be a hilarious car crash. Hard on anyone who wants to get a job, keep a job or save some money, but hilarious for politics watchers.

Im just catching up have pages of posts to read. But this made me laugh @twistyizzy

unions flexing muscle while Starmer stands blinking like a hamster

Though hamsters are SO much cuter. 🐹

David Lammy as Deputy pm?

😂 oh my days!

I've said it before, I think our rabbit would be a better PM.
A hamster yes 100% better also.

He does just remind me of a hamster

😂😂

It was on a thread soon after the election. It did feel like reading a ‘70s pop fanzine, all gushing and fawning.

I wanted some humour bringing back into politics. Maybe that's the plan behind Phase 2? Give us all something to laugh at?

Lammy?! Anyone who though it better to have Rayner left in place as a liability and a weight around Keir's ankle for the duration has hit consolation gold.

Oh I think she will be a huge weight from the back benches.
And he has to put up with Lammy 🤣🤣

Very true. That move has completely cured my buyer’s remorse at seeing Rayner defenestrated and no longer able to embarrass Starmer.

The DPM stands in at PMQs doesn’t s/he? That’ll be a right laugh. Hope the Tories can chuck some even moderately difficult or technical issues at Lammy.

I remember Prescott standing in for Blair. That was like one half of the Chuckle Brothers fielding questions.

I don't think they need to even be moderately difficult questions tbh

😂😂😂😂

For fans of The West Wing it’ll be “CJ’s root canal” all over again!

🤣🤣

Yes, Angela had stepped in for Keir on a number of occasions and if ToryHQ aren't bulk buying dinosaur t-shirts for Lammy's debut then they are far more mature than I am.

Oh for me he looks more like a slightly brain damaged owl.

🤣

Lammy anywhere really. Awful. Sorry to say it but he’s clearly a DEI hire also. Men can have cervix’s. Ok dude. You show us yours. On second thoughts.

😂😂
