Labour isn't working - Thread 14

[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.

We all saw this coming, except of course, for the government. Increasing NI, threats to fiddle with stamp duty, this £500,000 home tax and a nervous mortgage market has all made buying property, especially in the south a non starter.

🤣🤣🤣

Great idea.

Just had a quick look on x to see the Comms for the various Caerphilly candidates.

Anyway, I've found a Welsh Labour post that is trying to galvanise the population to vote for them suggesting that they are very close to winning. But it's been community noted because they used a poll with national polling and not one specific to Caerphilly. 🤣 Muppets.

How not to do Comms #Labour

Lord, I hope that Reform prevail…

That would prove A GOOD RESULT.

Oh yes, please.

If only because one of our lurkers has promised to leave MN if they do.

Oh gosh..the ensuing cat meltdown....

Well Reform's Powell did the whole, I went to vote today thing, and got about a thousand likes, and Welsh Labour Tunnicliffe did the same post and got so few likes it would suggest that not all his friends and family are out of bed yet, 12 iirc

How pathetic and desperate.

🙏🤣🤣

In reply to that tweet some smartarse posted this an I like his style.

Brilliant 😂😂

Ooo thanks for that, I'm hopeless at copying/embedding stuff.

😬 At the risk of being a bit wet lettuce over offended, that would be funnier if Hefin David hadn't popped his clogs.

I thought it referred to Starmer 🤔

😂

(Actually, that's probably what happened.)

Oh, maybe, then I'm all in.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend. I just thought it summed up Labour.

Yeah, it sums up Labour - I just read it with a different person in mind. It's okay.

That is outstandingly misleading!

Right up there with the notorious LibDem bar charts they put on their election pamphlets.

Quentin Letts on "Big Ange" setting out her stall to oust KS.

(Every time I see and hear Phillips I'm reminded of Rayner. They have different backgrounds, but to me they're peas in a pod.)

Here's some polling on how financially comfortable people feel. I suppose it won't be any surprise that Labour is most loved by the wealthiest and Reform by the poorest. But what is interesting is how quickly Labour drops and how Reform pull away, so they are also the most popular with those who feel relatively comfortable financially and then all the way through to those who are struggling.

It's not just the C2DEs

It's terrible, isn't it. To be caught lying two days before the election when the entire reason that the arse has fallen out of the support for Welsh Labour is because of the complete decimation of their trust capital.
