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.

Haha that’s brilliant. It really does.

That’s better than the bacon one, the mood of the nation.

Son is doing a turn round eastern europe for the next few weeks. He's checking out house prices and work. What is the point in him, as a single white male staying in this country only to be taxed into poverty to pay for other peoples life choices.

Thank god he's in Poland at the moment and hasn't seen any of this.

Don't apologise for linking to the DM. It's just a paper like all the others, I'm confident we're all capable of reading without being corrupted by malicious forces 😁.

Yep it’s fine. I look at the btl comments sometimes just to counter the Starmer, Reeves, Rayner love on here. It can’t all be as removed as mn.

Left of the party. Starmer and Reeves wanting to stay?

It’s depressing.

It seems that 2024's, let's grow the economy by crippling business has become 2025's let's demonstrate fiscal responsibility by racking up as much debt as we can until we crash.

Agree.

DH has been saying we need to move. Two Dcs - one of whom is the beneficiary of a disabled trust (that unlike AR we won't be dipping into stealing from to buy ourselves houses) and he just asks why would we stay here? There is no future for anyone with a bit of get up and go and any sort of of aspiration. You'd be mad to stay.

Contacted my periodontist for my yearly check up this morning. Receptionist confirmed that he’s moved back to the European country that he originates from. Who can blame him. Another highly skilled professional lost….

IMF bailout by Easter is looking more and more realistic folks. I'm just sitting here trying to work out how the hell we can all insulate ourselves from the incoming damage.

It's only on here. In the real world no-one can stand Starmer or Labour.

Yes, I'll be eating my words by the looks of it. This level of self sabotage is staggering.

This is brilliant, could have been written about Starmer

That is some cracking editing.

Matt's Telegraph cartoon today is brilliant. I can't work out how to link or paste it, but if you Google you'll find it.

Thanks for the link. No need to apologise for the DM on here 😁.
I was horrified to read Lammy's comments. He obviously feels emboldened to say what he likes now after Starmer's rhetoric.

Next article was Lammy having to apologise for said lies.

Lammy apologises for accusing Farage of 'flirting with Hitler Youth'

The Deputy Prime Minister went on live television to lash out at Mr Farage, after PM Keir Starmer used his main conference speech to hammer the opposition party.

I think the lawyers had probably been on to him. Farage will be lapping all this up. He doesn't have to do anything, he has Labour running scared and making fuck ups like this
