A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 💙

Bracing for the budget 😬

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

I think Mantari’s addition was good and helpful. It didn’t express a view. Just clarified the facts.

I agree. She has the look of a woman who’s been crying in the loos but then has had to pull herself together.

Evening all. Busy day not working again today.

@SquirrelsTakenMyNuts Welcome 👋.

Didn’t the cost of borrowing go up again today?

It could be that

Busy day of non-work here too. Gosh, it's wearing all this non-working.

I had a job interview today for another non-working role. Not sure it's in the bag, but time will tell. 🤞

Gruelling non work day here too, everyone in my company waiting for restructuring and redundancy news due any minute. It’s a delightful atmosphere!

Fingers crossed for you 🤞

She did, didn't she? Whereas Kemi has the look and demeanor of a woman who has never shed a tear at work in her life.

Oh shit. Is the whole place at risk? You must be so worried.

Sorry, not the entire company - fried brain - pretty much everyone in the department I work in - it’s been rumbling on for a while. Comms have been awful, something is being announced soon but we don’t know how far it’ll go, or if they’ll do more post Christmas in the quiet season….

Yep. Bet she’s dealt with bellends like Starmer before too.

Really sorry to hear this @Rivalled

Ah, I’m sorry to hear this.

I see Streeting is laying into the doctors big time, again, with strikes looming. Well, well, well.

I’m so glad that Labour spraying cash all over the doctors ended the BMA’s demands. 🙄

Hope it all works out for you!

Thanks - tbh whatever happens, it’ll be good to have certainty.

Kemi looked and sounded like she was thoroughly enjoying herself today. Good to see her find her confidence.

I’m so pleased. I wanted her as leader but I wobbled on it a bit afterwards. She has totally stepped up, more than most tbh.

I forked over some dosh today. May as well be part of a change.

Same. I had a bit after where I regretted it not being Jenrick but I've come back round.

Glad you've come back into the fold. 👍

I think she’s very good. Slow start at PMQs but it was never terrible. She was faced with an arrogant, dissembling weasel. And in any case it was tough stuff immediately after a crushing defeat.

I also rate her highly on her instinctive approach to what Toryism should offer in the longer term, as a breadth of policy. She’s not a hang ‘em and flog ‘em reactive loudmouth. She thinks.

Good for you 👍
We need a bit of hope rn.

I am thinking of parting with cash too. I really do like Kemi.

Over the way, I think a penny has dropped.

This is all so wonderfully bizarre.

It seems there won't be any new kittens called Rodney, judging from the mood somewhere else on MN, whereas here he seems to be the preferred option, ie the devil we know.

You couldn't make it up.

Do we think he will last the course though? The thing I am reading today is that post May elections there will be a mass rebellion in the Labour ranks,
i have decided I want to keep him - he’s awful but if he goes Labour will surely lurch further to the left,
