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.

Quite possibly, but he doesn't have a deputy to take the flak for him. They've probably been drawing straws in number 10 this morning.

Deportation flights under Sir Keir Starmer’s one in, one out deal have been cancelled for a second day after legal challenges and protests.

The Home Office had planned to return migrants on commercial Air France flightsfrom Heathrow to Paris every day this week.

However, flights on Monday and Tuesday have left without any migrants on board after last-minute legal challenges and protests from charities.

Looks like Starmer isn't there. Can't see who is going to try and explain all this away though

Emily Thornberry is sticking the knife in!

She is isn't she!

Who was that snivelling wet wipe Labour MP who interrupted DD with whataboutery? The one who was met with a response of "grow up"?
I'd be embarrassed if he was my MP.
