Labour isn't working - Thread 14

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.

If ever there were a case for PR, it’s now - that would address the issue of tactical voting.

We would avoid a repeat of last summer’s fiasco, and Labour would be duly hung, drawn and quartered.

Negative voting has negative consequences, with no part of the electorate particularly ‘satisfied’ - hence the abomination we now have in Starmer.

Is anyone competent these days?! This is utterly disgraceful.

Whilst not directly involved, surely the buck stops with the Home Office on this one.

Was just about to post this.
Just unbelievable incompetence .
Those authoriding this and their bosses need to be summarily dismissed.

It's such an unreal fuck up. And we know with the rate of his offending that it's highly likely that some poor woman is going to pay a heavy price for this incompetence.

EasternStandard · 24/10/2025 18:37

So bad. Even now the Labour diehards blame the tories. Ridiculous, do they ever think yeh we are actually shite.

Rivalled · 24/10/2025 18:43

It’s awful isn’t it - you might think they’d take more care due to the risk of sparking a riot or a mob…

TheNuthatch · 24/10/2025 19:25

Un-fucking-believable.

‘Mr Lammy is also supporting police efforts to find Kebatu’.

Tommy Lee Jones, he ain’t.

Incidentally, if this turns out to be deliberate, I would not be surprised.

What personally?

Funny how Labour say they are ‘furious’ when they fuck up. Well mateys we are, at you.

A leftie bleeding heart.

To what end? Because, your boy is ‘misunderstood’ or some similar shit.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was "deeply disappointed" at the Caerphilly loss, adding: "We clearly need to do much more."

That’s it Starmer, feel free to share out the blame for your fuck-ups.

Further and faster.

Ive been lurking on this thread, this business tonight with the illegal immigrant who should have been deported immediately and not put in prison at the taxpayers expense, do we really think this was a mistake? Ive never been a tin foil hat person but at the moment it feels like this government wants it all to kick off.

Further and faster fuck ups

I am not suggesting it was an institutional decision, but if it transpires that a ‘friendly’ prison officer released this individual on ‘humanitarian’ (read political) grounds, I would not be surprised.

Little surprises me anymore.

Sounds like KS has taken to heart Thomas-Symonds' feeble excuse for his abysmal election result. I hope not; the very last thing we need is Labour going further faster in its quest to wreck the UK.

If he does the markets will react so maybe it’s just rip the plaster off time.

I feel raging at some of these dismissive posts on here over the news. I know it’s mn so particularly Labour and Lammy defensive but still.

The Labour apologists are abysmal fantasists who feel entitled to continually take more of everyone else’s money. They are infantile and demented.

Meanwhile, I am looking forward to tomorrow’s deputy leadership result - come on Powell!

Remember, this vicious piece of work received only 12 months for two actual physical sexual assaults. Lucy Connolly got 31 months for a tweet…

You will forgive my natural cynicism, perhaps.

EasternStandard · 24/10/2025 20:52

Same. It’s making want to just type stuff I don’t usually. It’s unbearable to read.
