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.

I think Kemi did well there.

I've thought from last PMQ's Kemi has sudenly found her voice.

Karen Pierce receiving high praise from Ed Davey.

Now rightly drawing attention to the victims of Epstein.

John Slinger is an odious twerp defending the indefensible.

Stephen Flynn, most entertaining shit stirrer, not disappointing.

looks easier for the party to get rid of a sitting pm…..

Trump is telling the world that there was another month with zero illegal immigration into America today..."Nobody has ever done on the border like I done". On a day when Starmer is thwarted from his one i-one out charade. It seems we are to be the cautionary case.

I think the house did itself proud today, apart from the odious little toad Slinger. Had to laugh at the father of the house giving him a life lesson.
It's just a shame Starmer didn't see fit to turn up and explain himself. Stephen Doughty obviously drew the short straw in Downing street this morning.

Ah not my slimy MP

Not mine either.

TBF ours isn't slimy, just invisible. He's been in opposition forever and never bothered to even campaign. He lives on the same road I am on and not sure if he goes up and down to London each day (difficult where we are) but i see him most mornings walking his dogs, Even this week.

My best friend's husband has made it a hobby to write to him the first Monday of every month with another complaint. Just for laughs now he is retired.

ETA- not 'most' but many. Come to think of it, not seen him since about last Wednesday. Maybe he finally got serious about his job.
