[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.

No, you're right to question the motive.
Just look at the date for the embassy decision. I hope the press are watching them like hawks over the Xmas break.

I just hope that some mechanism in parliament can be found to stop them implementing ID without a mandate from the public.

😂😂

That embassy. The plans are mysterious. Basement levels. It's huge as well. Gives me the Heebie jeebies

Li Ying Wang Kier….

🤣🤣

It was good - not least because of the number of Labour MPs, who instead of supporting and generally toeing the government line, posed some very awkward questions.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are defections in the offing; the goons at the top haven't just stiffed everyone who voted for them, but also their own MPs who are probably getting a lot of grief from their constituents - not least over the unmandated almost total withdrawal of the WFA for starters.

AKA- a palace with dungeons

A new low for this country as Maccabi Tel Aviv fans have been banned from next weeks Europa League match with Aston Villa at Villa Park Birmingham.

This because West Midlands Police are unable to guarantee the safety of Jewish fans in a predominately Islamic part of Birmingham.

Yes, cannot imagine that some of the HK expats will be thrilled.

It’s an admission of complete failure. The bullies are in charge now.

Yet more major investment lost from the U.K.

Utterly shameful. And Starmer comments as if he is just an average bloke on social media, not the man who is supposed to be IN CHARGE of the bloody country!

Yes. Says it all. Fucking bollard.

All those job opportunities, gone.

Wales didn't fight for our steelworks. Turn their noses up at coal production. Want to reduce beef farming by 50% by 2030.

They haven't got a business sense molecule in their bodies. It wasn't always like this. Harold Wilson knew people needed to work to stop them getting into mischief.

This is the danger in this country...not the so called "far right" I find this very very chilling

Well said 👏

Ed Conway asked Reeves about this in an interview. She didn't seem particularly bothered, just an oh-well kind of response. She is so out of her depth, they all are.

It's gross negligence, all of it
