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.

Thanks for the new thread @TheNuthatch

I thought Badenoch seemed stronger in pmqs too today. Good to see a bit of bite and not let him off the hook with his non answers about Mandy.

After watching today I can concede that Lammy has a cracking 'who's farted?' face.

He really is an uninspiring twat, Starmer. His sign off about patriots was so shit and embarrassing, my toes turned my flats into Turkish slippers.

Clearly charisma isn't required for Q(K)Cs. I did think this when I watched the Supreme Court prorogation hearing, none of the QCs could string a coherent sentence together! 🤷‍♀️

He does doesn't he 🤣🤣
Brilliant description

Thank you for the new thread!

Oh dear. France is in a real pickle.

Also have their own raise the flag movement in response to prevalence of Palestinian flags.

If posters from other threads want to reference me then at least have the balls to tag me. I will happily do the same.
I don't interfere on your thread so no need for you to on this one.

With you.

I think when Kemi shows some fire in her belly,
it really suits her. She does controlled aggression well.

Starmer looks like he is ready to snap - it must be tough for him taking it from a woman, and of colour.

Go, Kemi, go!

Utter cowardice.

Yep. Standard

I don't know what's happened, but I think I can guess.
It is cowardly.

Idk what’s happening but if there’s discussion on another thread about your posts I’d just report. Eta it’s horrible and unnecessary

Yes I think that combination really gets to him. Good!

🥺 Tragically - Women and children dead in the channel / near France. I’m so surprised it wasn’t men who were killed on the boat in the crush. I’m surprised the men (smugglers and fellow migrants) weren’t protecting the women and children.
That really shocked me. 👀

Hmm, there have been a few occasions when the same poster mines these threads to garner favour and outrage elsewhere. It's a bit, weak.

I've just said I will challenge us doing the same so would rather just move on 🙂

Yep. I knew who it was as soon as I read twisty's post.

Ah it’s quite cute really. So desperate are some people to curry favour and admiration / agreement from others, they do that kind of thing. It makes them feel.. Uhm.. liked, accepted. Intelligent and superior. I say Let Them 🙃

This is awful.

Random photo time?

Oh jeez, not cats, please. Or garden blooms. I really can’t be arsed with that sort of crap.

There seems to be a bit of animosity between those on these threads and those on the Starmer Fanzine threads. So could I just say this?

Some of the Starmer massive are nice and considered. I have good interactions with them on other political threads and I respond warmly because that’s proper and everyone should respect each other if they can. Some others of them are, unfortunately, appallingly small minded leftists, bigoted old Trots basically. They should just be ignored.

I thought Starmer's PMQ impersonation of a freshly-landed cod was impressive, but it didn't detract from his attempts to deflect Kemi's laser-like questions with regard to Labour sleaze, especially with regard to Mandelson.

She was on form today, but he still managed to duck and dive to avoid answering - even suggesting there are "more important" issues like Qatar.

Ooh interesting. So there are also French flag shaggers 😂. Is that Farage's fault too?

He ducks every question ever asked of him. Slimey toad.
It looked to me like the Labour MPs agreed with Kemi.

He really does. It’s not Kemi’s fault he’s slimy and ducking.
