Labour isn't working - Thread 16

[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.

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂🤷‍♀️

There's only Labour and the heretics, and we are to play the pantomime villain so they can feel the wind of moral righteousness in their hair like they once could in opposition.

Knock yourself out. I'd vote Reform before I voted Labour if I didn't have a Tory to vote for. 🤷🏼‍♀️ If it's any consolation to the watchers 👀 I'd vote Labour before I'd vote Green - but what a fucking dreadful day that would be.

😬 at least we can have a laugh

@EmeraldRouletteI’m pleased you’ve had a fab life, it’s nice to feel lucky

Is that thread still going?
Don't let them wind you up, stick with us instead.
It almost feels cruel arguing with them at this point (almost 😉).

It's weird isn't I've spent all day not "working". Bizarrely not "working" seems to still pay quite well and still takes a fair amount of the day.

Mike Tapp actually posted something sensible about deporting foreign criminals on X - I had to check he was indeed a Labour MP.

The comments are hysterical - people are terribly upset with him for not wanting foreign sex offenders in the country.

Seconded.

Are we the baddies now then? How does that work when Labour are the party in government? It can't still be the tories fault when things go wrong,......or can it 😂

And I'm worried what my mother will think of me now.

She's always been adamant that a woman needs her job, and working is non negotiable and now it seems i'm not. I'll never hear the end of it.

Maybe I need a cat or four, now I'm not working? Byron, Blake, Keats and Rodney?

I think it's the fault of Brexit now

A comrade stepped out of line 😱🤣

Oh sure. Can’t be Starmer and Reeves. Go figure

Ah yes, I see. That way they came blame the tories and Farage for their own fuck ups, all at the same time! Genius.

Yes always the Tories. Come 26th Nov RR will be blaming the Tories for everything she has had to do, “hands tied” “difficult decisions” etc. etc.

You'll have to stop working and become a worker, it's absolutely imperative for non-men.

Meh to cat taxers. They are irrelevant.

Complete change of subject because they frankly bore me now:
DD has just run upstairs screaming that she got a Q right on Only Connect. The answer was "KENS MOJO DOJO CASA HOUSE" from the Barbie movie 🤣🤣 DH refused to accept her answer but it turns out she was right!

😂😂
Your dh needs to educate himself pronto. He's not nearly Kenough.

😂

🤣🤣🤣

Now we have lesser-spotted Reeves.

Wow. What a sensible chap. 👏🏻

The Home Office minister and MP for Dover and Deal issued a short video on Saturday morning that contained a very straightforward message: “I don’t want these sexual offenders and violent individuals here. And that’s why we will continue to increase deporting foreign national offenders. . . Don’t bother [coming to the UK] – we’ve got your biometrics, you will be picked up and you will be deported.”

@TheNuthatch That made me laugh so hard, I cannot tell you

@upseedaisee I met him. He was really lovely and made a point of thanking every member of staff he met and he remembered their names. I didn't see anyone with a cheat sheet, but I suppose you can't read that level without having a good memory for names and faces.

@EasternStandard Well, kind of. I'm sure other people would say that I've had PTSD, (I wouldn't) and I was in treatment for depression and anxiety for more than two decades (and carried on working) ... I won't say any more in case anyone recognises me on here! But yes, I am very grateful for all the things I've done. Definitely strange how things have turned out though. Maybe that's why it seems odd that I had a big life before?

Probably best not to overthink it!

i'm always happy with cat pictures.

Progressives who don’t want to deport foreign criminals will never beat Reform

I never thought I’d hear a Labour MP tell this truth.

You should be proud..I had to stop watching I was so bad at it

I know I gave up too but the pair of them have a Monday night quiz show ritual. They have ambitions to answer 5 Qs correctly on OC 🤣
