[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.

You and your DH are both right. He's all of those things.

I'm staying on here for the foreseeable. They might start hyperventilating tomorrow when they hear the word comrade 😂

Agreed.

We've both done a shift 😂.
There are none so blind etc.

It’s impossible to reason with left wing loyalists. They never admit they are wrong even when the truth is staring them in the face. Criticising anyone who disagrees with them is what they are best at. As we’re seeing here on MN.

😂😂🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

🤣🤣🤣

Yes, I’ve noticed that.

The Christ Complex is getting a good outing on the Labour thread. Telling MN how they just must go and protest and show their care for the oppressed, and just how sick they all feel about injustice. Oh woe is me. 🙄

There’s a sudden loss of appetite among Labour MN fans to defend this wretched government. Presumably because that would look like sending praise to the captain of the Titanic, as the water rushed in.

Yep. My decorator does it that way and only takes cash. The chippy I use also asks you to get the materials, as does the electrician though they both like to be paid by bank transfer. So basically, I'm just paying for their time.

I was half-listening to a R4 programme earlier today; one of thr points for discussion was what will be the main focus of the Labour conference. According to one commentator, KS will mainly be attempting to put a fly in the ointment of Reform's seemingly unstoppable rise in popularity.

If that prediction is only slightly correct, it explains why vainglorious KS is such a rotten PM. All that he holds dear is his image and the rest of the job is but a sideline.

They could do that by their actions. Why waste their conference talking about reform ( didn't ed davey do just that)

As has been said time and again, Nigel Farage is living in their heads rent free and Reform are thoroughly enjoying the free advertising.

Absolutely. Free exposure, it has value to whoever gets it.

Madness.
If Labour were doing a good job, Reform wouldn't be so popular 🤷‍♂️.
They need to get their own house in order if they want to improve polling.

Yep. It was painful to listen to.

I wondering if I can bear to listen to his speech !

I'm a solicitor and I'm with you. The man's an idiot!

Trouble in paradise it would seem.

The boss of Unite, Labour's biggest union funder, has threatened to break its link with the party unless it changes direction.
Sharon Graham, general secretary of the union, told Sky News that, on the eve of a crucial party conference for the prime minister, Unite's support for Labour was hanging in the balance.

Every time Labour opens their mouth and talks about how dreadful Reform are they are simply advertising that it is a party that is offering something completely different to them and everything they stand for.

And, as in the LibDem conference, it might offer an lazy opportunity to stay on safe ground - something the whole room can get behind when they are currently so bitterly divided, it's naive for them to think it won't have a cost outside their comrade walls.

Meanwhile, Starmer needs to fight off Burnham, Reeves needs to assure the circling bond traders that she has a grip of things (no crying please), while Burnham lies that the creditors are irrelevant and that the milky bars a Oh, and that petition re on him.

What a car crash. Oh, and that petition is almost at 2 million.

I agree. Goodness knows I’m not a fan but buying her council house for whatever the price was and selling it years later is not all that surprising. Plus, are we really going to judge people on the actions of their parents?

Me three! I am flabbergasted that he is a KC and was DPP…he is crap at public speaking.

🙄 Milky bars are on him...Trying to type and cook dinner.

What I have learned from watching various court cases online is that many KCs can barely string a sentence together! 🤷‍♀️ The prorogation hearing was very much a painful and excruciating case in point. 😬

Ben Wallace writing in The Telegraph about the ID card plan, which he doesn't seem to be against, discusses the proposal of ID under Tony Blair.

Regarding what he describes as a 'fatal flaw in that policy that hopefully Keir Starmer will not repeat':

beyond proving your ID, 'the policy proposed in 2006 established a "live database" that not only stored the nation's IDs, but recorded when they were checked. In other words, it logged an individual's pattern of life which the security services could have access to.'

Not just the security services, anyone who could get permission, or hack their way into the system, could also access the records of who used the ID for checks, when and for what.

Sorry All just catching up.

The level of batshittery defending of Starmer and Labour is mind blowing 🤯 Every single piece of evidence shows how shit they are yet the cultists continually refuse to acknowledge.
