Labour isn't working - Thread 8

[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.

Thread 7 filled up quickly!

Thanks for the new thread.

Interesting stuff about BP at the end of the last thread. So much can be explained by Daddy Issues - Trump, Musk and now Bridget 😜

Isn’t Peter Mandelson gay? It’s embarrassing that he was pals with Epstien, but it’s highly unlikely he was sexually assualting underage girls.

But he may have witnessed things!

Someone said on another thread that apparently there were sometimes “young men” around too.

Globally, events are moving so rapidly, and in such diverse areas.

Starmer and his motley crew are the least qualified to handle what’s in front of them now, let alone what is coming.

So we now have a PM Keir Starmer who says that some women can have penises, and a Deputy PM David Lammy who says that men can grow a cervix; and says that women who disagree that men can be women, are ‘rights hoarding dinosaurs’.

So yet again we have men telling women that they have to accept men telling women that men are women.

These men aren’t just sad old misogynists in the pub, they’re men who are apparently. ‘In charge of’ our country. 😶😶😶😶

I think Haigh will be knocked out quite soon. It’s too embarrassing, having a DPM with a conviction for fraud.

I really miss the days when politics was something boring. It’s terrifying, seeing how stupid the people in government are.

I very, very much doubt that Mandelson would have been involved in sexual antics at Epstein’s. Wherever else his instincts take him, it’s not in that direction.

Mandelson’s problem was that he craved association with very rich people - businessmen, oligarchs and the like. It was his love of the good life that got him into trouble with the secret loan all those years ago.

Mandelson’s judgement flies out the window around the uber wealthy. Here we go again…

Yup, totally agree. She’s trying to stay visible, that’s all.

Thanks @TheNuthatch! great to see more join in these days

It’s terrifying, seeing how stupid the people in government are.

I agree. Not just a bit dim, but also misogynistic, bitter, champagne socialist hypocrites blinkered to their own failings.

I thought Phones4Me had dropped out? I don't think she's running is she?

Mandelson stayed in Epstein's New York home whilst the fucker was in prison. He knew exactly what/who that piece of shit was.

From the BBC
Lord Mandelson goes on to write that Epstein was known for "taking you by surprise... in one of his glorious homes he likes to share with his friends (yum yum)", alongside a single malt whiskey label and a picture of a tropical island.

Yum yum? 🤢

He's a disgrace, and Starmer has questions to answer re his appointment.

I agree on that @DenizenOfAisleOfShame that he was unlikely involved with crime but the card and the ‘yum yum’ isn’t exactly the look Labour are wanting to portray.

Although his love of freebies isn’t exactly out of step with the cabinet is it? Who could forget Starmer’s £2k glasses? Or the flat his child ‘needed’ for undisrupted GCSEs.

yes, my bad @TheNuthatch Haigh isn’t running - some sense at least!

can’t wait for them to appoint BP - shel’ll be the Harman figure for this govt, the root vegetable choice.

Just watching Pmqs - new Bs alert - we now have a ‘government of patriots fighting for working people’ 😂

Kemi doing well here.

Good performance from Kemi B at PMQs today. The Labour benches were very quiet.

🤣🤣 well at least it's new!!!

Fuck me they just follow Farage don't they 🐑🐏 Is that the new comms at play?

Still only "working people" though eh 🙄?

Haha what?

They just tacked Reform words onto dud Labour ones. Did they get a new comms person? Ridiculous

😂 I laughed too.

Sorry it’s arrearing50 - forgot to switch my username!

it’s hilarious it - just waiting to see him in that Union Jack suit!

Forgot to welcome the lurkers to the new thread as we are now bring quoted/referenced 👋

Yes I do really like Kemi, same as Sunak though sadly as in right person wrong time.
I know others don't feel the same but when I listen to her she generally makes sense to me.

Plus I would love to see a female, ethnic minority PM. Tories are the only party who would do this, Labour are still a misogynistic MC white male party at the leadership level.
The mere fact they state only a female can apply for DL is crazy.

I like her. And I think the Tories would be mad to force her out. She probably won’t survive the next GE as leader, but the Tories should let her contest it and elect a new leader after that.
