Labour isn't working - Thread 7

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.

The issue with that is that, with so many people now in receipt of welfare, they won’t vote for cutting it? A poster on one of the “other” threads said she uses her PIP for “expensive gym classes, big bouncy blow drys and her nails”. Posters all agreed that that is what it’s for!! Honestly, that blew my mind 🤯🤯🤯🤯

This - why would the riders on the gravy train vote for it to be halted?

@twistyizzy shes an absolute legend so tiny ! The amount of horses pulled up on Saturday the course was a tough one.

Yes and she also admits she's not the fastest XC. For such a small rider to ride a big horse like Walt, so we'll, is mind blowing. Plus being pregnant!

Fuck me! Soggy toast for everyone!

twistyizzy · 09/09/2025 08:40

Have you noticed she never ever talks about education, it's only ever breakfast clubs,toast and blazers. Zero about her actual brief 😡

GabrielsOboe · 09/09/2025 08:46

Does anyone know what Starmer’s mum did? I don’t recall him ever talking about her…

What a mug the bloke is….

derxa · 09/09/2025 08:51

Just listened to Wes Streeting on GMB. He could give Keir lessons in getting the message across.

Currently polling in Bigot's constituency. Is she just trying to make sure she has a job of some sort?

The white paper for the educational reforms is being presented today. Assuming that the disruption of last week hasn't changed anything.

She's flown under the radar for most people ie lack of scrutiny. This will thrust her into the limelight and then more people will see what a chippy, sneering person she is.

No! She mustn’t win, it’s got to be Dame Emily!

Gawd, no, not Phillipson.😱

twistyizzy · 09/09/2025 09:25

On X she claims to have taken on and won against "powerful vested interests" ie she had taxed the education of children! The "vested interests" are parents ie the electorate she is supposed to represent!

She is fucking vile.

She was a nurse. She became very ill I think. He certainly never mentions her compared to his father.

On another note - Keir Starmer went to a selective grammar school (turned private) and only achieved B B C in his A Levels. He’s not That bright. No wonder he’s intimidated by Andy Burnham.

Arrearing50 · 09/09/2025 09:28

Yes please let it be BP she’s got no charisma whatsoever! Wld be hilarious. Who can she sneer at next?

good move from Kemi! Response as expected but this debt crisis is going to need changes that have broad cross party agreement to tackle…

EasternStandard · 09/09/2025 09:28

Someone from Labour sounded annoyed at the DL contest this morning and cross that Labour were trying to out-Reform Reform. I missed her name but good to see some internal wrangling going on.

Couldn’t agree more - I’ll be breaking open the cheap Prosecco the day she goes in some way…

Absentmindedsmile · 09/09/2025 09:32

BP was probably ecstatic that AR had to go. 🤢
