Labour isn't working - Thread 20

[TheNuthatch]

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

We are bracing for the budget. 😬

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

Twisty it’s great to see you back. Just stick around on this board as you’ll be among friends.

Clive Lewis offers to quit in order to facilitate a comeback for Burnham….

Yes, great to see you back @Twistyizzy. I was worried you were gone for good.

Clive Lewis is such a shit stirrer. It would be funny if it all weren't so bloody desperate at the moment.

I should think the bullies from the Brexit/Covid days are outnumbered now?

💯 but happy to see him cause a split.

Ooh

Sorry that was to Clive post on the move, agree with this though!

Actually, they'd want to be careful doing that. The MRP polling suggests that Reform are hot on the heels of Labour in Norwich South. The idea that he could just step aside and let Burnham take the crown may end up with some serious egg on face.

It totally deflates Starmer’s it’s the mean press doing this. It’s his own side.

Can he even do that? He was the MP elected, not Burnham.

I think he'd have to step down and trigger a by election.

Yep.
Nowhere is a 'safe' Labour seat anymore. Its testament to how poor they have been in government.

I'm sure they'll find a way to wriggle out of it. Starmer's is worth a few million.
Most Labour MPs seem to prefer buying lots of smaller houses rather than one big one.

Some were complaining about this thread existing because they can’t keep hounding the same posters. It really is that bad.

Wow, really?
They must miss bullying us elsewhere.

where? links please?

Yeah, I'll put the interactive map up because it's really interesting to see how close the red on the map is to being knocked on the head. For example, Wallasey is red, with a predicted Labour win but the voting intention is 36% Labour 36% reform.

I’ll PM you 😀we’ve likely got eyes on

Ooh, could you copy me in too please?

80 MPs supporting this apparently

Me too please @EasternStandard

More in Common:

Oh, the magic 80 required to trigger a leadership challenge, what a coincidence!

But, but...one of them during PMQs was braying about Labour's huge majority (completely ignoring their downward trajectory in the polls and obvious "buyer's remorse" from those who voted them in.🙄

Thanks.
Strange that the Greens are so low on that poll. They're at 17 on YouGov.
