[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.

Yes it makes my blood boil every time I see their propoganda on X or hear them speak. At this stage it is 100% propoganda because they are blatantly lying to our faces

Talk of Morgan McSweeney being the fall guy for Mandelson but it’s just passing the buck if so. This is with Starmer.

He declared ‘full confidence’

Of course there will be a fall guy cos nothing is Starmers fault is it?

@twistyizzy please dear gid they get ousted before too much damage is done fux sake. My friends are getting an eviction on a tenant shd has paid not a bean for two years she’s now got a breathing space order 60 days after the baliffs turned up lock smiths etc
the council said she can’t be evicted

😡😡😡
Appallingky strssful for your friend
This is why landlords are selling off in droves

@LupaMoonhowl they are 80 and 82 we had the same with a property last year my sons dad did have a breakdown over it we do air babd b now. It’s a shame but these governments have made renting properties no longer a good idea

That's shocking 😲

‘Work to do’ - lovely meaningless catchphrase we’re hearing a lot - all purpose failure sound bite

Speechless 🤬

Yes I've heard the same. It probably was McSweeney who orchestrated Mandy's appointment. Even if that's true, the buck stops with Starmer.
What does that say about our Prime Minister though if an unelected No.10 bod is choosing the UK's ambassador to the US?

@TheNuthatch it says that he’s a treasonist traitor wet wipe

Is Lammy in trouble already?

Lammy the liability strikes again.

Terrible. That’s why we sold our rental. And thousands of other good LL’s doing the same.

😡😡😡😡😡🥺

Presumably Mandy was interviewed pretty thoroughly and asked if there was anything damaging that could come to light and presumably he said no, as if he’d owned up to the Epstein stuff then he wouldn’t have been appointed as Ambassador.
So what surprises me is that he must have thought all those emails and cards etc would never see the light of day. As taking screenshots takes a matter of seconds plus there are plenty of skilled hackers, this was naive of him.
Maybe he thought they’d all been destroyed.
I wonder what’s he’ll do now.

The reports are that he was pretty open about it.......

It appears he hadn't been sacked, just removed. So the taxpayer will continue to fund him plus he has a lucrative consultancy business. He will be fine.

It seems there could be a vote in the information in the HoC. That could force the issue.

The Times are reporting that Mandy was open about continuing his relationship with Epstein post conviction.
Sky reporting that security warnings were given but ignored.
They knew, he didn't hide it. They gave him the job anyway 🤷‍♂️.

Yes. 'Withdrawn', not fired.

Will be interesting to see how Labour MPs vote if it goes ahead.

Will be a foresight of vote of no confidence hence Starmer will avoid at all costs

Mandy was honest. Starmer had the facts and made a poor judgement.
