Labour isn't working - Thread 12

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.

The Home Office is offering a communications expert up to £91,000 a year to help convince the public that Labour is tackling the small boats crisis.

A job advertisement for the role of “deputy director migration communications” says that applicants should have a “resilient” mindset and “personal authority”.

Disgusting! Subverting public funds for their propaganda.

Boris Johnson has said Sir Keir Starmer deserves no credit for the Gaza ceasefire, likening his contribution to “a fart in a gale”.

The former prime minister criticised his successor for recognising Palestine and said it was “ludicrous” for education secretary Bridget Phillipson to suggest the UK had played a “vital role”.

Speaking to the Daily T podcast, Mr Johnson was asked whether Starmer deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his role. Mr Johnson said: “Starmer, the great human bollard? It’s totally ludicrous. What has the UK contributed to this? As far as I can see, sadly, not a lot.”

Mwahahahaha…..

Nah she's not yet 14 so we've not quite got to that stage yet. Sane scenario in 12 months time could well be a different outcome 😆

No matter what people think of him, there's no denying Boris is an entertaining writer - especially when it comes to skewering the odious KS and his band of malicious misfits.

I don’t like Boris as a person (a friend used to work for him and he was a bit of a shit) but he is extremely interesting to listen to.

EasternStandard · 13/10/2025 20:13

I think what happened to Boris may well come back and bite Starmer and co, ie Cummings. Apparently he’s helping Reform. I only saw it on here though, I haven’t checked.

This is the moment where Starmer (who was one of the last to be mentioned by Trump) goes up to the podium to speak, but is sent back to his place by Trump. He looks so offended!. The arrogance and delusion of the man thinking anyone wanted to listen to her had to say.

“Is everything going good?” Not in the Uk it isn’t. Most of Britain can attest to that.

This is priceless. Being condescended to by Trump who is being nice and letting you be seen, but so obviously does not take you seriously. It’s like watching a busy grown up let a child have a quick go.

Naughty child sent back to the corner by the teacher. We've all seen this in a classroom

Omg !!! Starmers face at the end!!!! Please tell me it's not AI

EasternStandard · 13/10/2025 22:04

Haha that is funny.

Octavious · 13/10/2025 22:10

Oh gosh the second hand embarrassment of that clip 🤣😱👀. It's awful but so delicious when we remember how starmer has grovelled to trump more than anyone but he's supposed to be dead set against him

I hope the " in the thick of it " team are working on all this. Somerimes the characters don't feel real.

EmpressoftheMundane · 13/10/2025 22:14

I’m watching the BBC news at 10pm. They have not shown this sequence. I feel like it would be relevant to us. It says something about our standing in the world. But they have edited it out.

EasternStandard · 13/10/2025 22:18

Tbf there’s a fair bit of editing going on for poor old Labour and Starmer, the sports matches for a start

One major distinction on the pro-Labour thread.

They are not serious people, with any experience of the real world, of business and commerce.

Many appear to to lead a parochial existence, with felines being their main interest (aside from MN).

How do you know what life experience other people have? How condescending.

We all bow to their superior knowledge of cats and Chanel.

Though, quite frankly, Chanel perfume is a bit passé.

What's that got to do with dismissing other people's life experience without any knowledge?
