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.

Thank you @TheNuthatch @Upstartled

That is scary. I had no idea that was on the agenda.

That’s chilling. It would destroy the economy.

Yes, it will destroy the economy first, but it is also engineering the kind of seething resentment that will be the catalyst which sees the social contract between the have nots and those who Labour have identified as the haves, completely destroyed.

Destruction of the social contract + current protests about illegal immigration = tinderbox.

The Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times", is already upon us.

Interesting that that anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist Noam Chomsky was on such friendly terms with billionaire capitalist Epstein.
“I have principles and if you don’t like them I have others”

It seems a theme. All those for the people lot turning up delighted at the money and potentially worse.

Lammy to be questioned over matters relating to Mandelson.

It's as if there's a mycelium under the entire establishment - politicians, royalty and so-called celebrities. Every day some sort of shady or sleazy connection pops up.

I have to say, if there's anyone genuinelyoperating in entire ignorance of the situation, my money would be on David Lammy! 😂

😂😂

Mandelson doesn't rem being in the flat, wearing underpants, or talking to a young woman. Dementia defense?

So why make him the ambassador.

It’s all an utter clusterfuck. And now it looks like they’ll let Mandy simply resign from HoL so he can keep his title.

🤣🤣🤣

Where's the laugh reaction when you need it?

He is going to be stripped of his title, but it needs primary legislation. So not something that can be done overnight.

🤣🤣👌

Has that been confirmed now that Mandy has retired?

Yes, he's resigned: news.sky.com/story/did-he-jump-or-was-he-pushed-either-way-mandelson-had-no-alternative-but-to-resign-13502143

The media is reporting that steps to strip him of his title are underway. I don't think his resignation will stop that. I hope not!

Good old sleazy Labour. They’ve lost any moral high ground they thought they had.

😂😂😂😂

I don’t for a second think that any of this Mandelson saga or any other Labour scandal, however bad, or any amount of evidence of Labour callousness or dishonesty or cronyism will stop Labour supporters from saying how much more moral is it is to vote Labour. 🙄

Yeh but they’re really shrinking as a group now. That Labour loyalty above everything is bizarre. But hopefully completely irrelevant soon.

Thanks. Let's see if its pursued now that he has stood down.

BUT FARAGE! BUT MONE! BUT BORIS. 🙄

Like there's even a slight comparison to anything we've seen previously.

The Met is going to investigate Mandelson in relation to allegations he sent sensitive documents to Epstein.

@TheNuthatch how's your recovery going?

i'm quite concerned that the left might get even more bonkers as a strange reaction.
