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.

Blimey - thread 27 already! I pop into these threads sometimes, because I can't stand this bloody government, but my goodness they're so much worse than even I was expecting. This shambles they've created, an economic doom-loop and now they're baying for KS's blood and trying to get rid of him. Bloody hell! It's like the worst days of the last Tory government, which Labour were so critical of! But they're just the same, only the country is in an even worse state now, after 18 months of their frigging ineptitude. It's so depressing 😰

Are we playing 'Guess the Labour MP who wrote that?'

I'm going to guess Grangela.

Brilliant thank you to @TheNuthatchand everyone getting us through this Starmer lot 😀

zurigo · 09/02/2026 17:35

I just clicked on it and realised that it is her - her name is at the top! Doh!

You guess correctly

But you need to click on the image because it doesn't show up the whole thing. So it wasn't set up as a guessing game.

@TheNuthatch thank you for the new thread.

Perhaps this will be the thread where he falls.

Thanks all for keeping me sane! 😁

A mischievous part of me would like Rayner as PM. The fun! She’s so fucking stupid it would be comical. Not quite as ludicrous as Lammy but not far off.

But my grown-up self wins out and just wants something good for the country.

Whereistheejectbutton · 09/02/2026 17:43

We can only hope - what number comms sacking is this now?

EasternStandard · 09/02/2026 17:44

Labour moaning about the media is ridiculous. They were fine to rely on it to damage the last lot. They really do sound pathetic over it now.

Even Alistair Campbell couldn't spin this lot. Comms my foot.

Do we think Starmer has done a deal to leave in May and that’s why he’s getting the troops
rallying?

Whereistheejectbutton · 09/02/2026 17:46

Alistair Campbell sounds utterly fed up with them - that they’ve destroyed Labour, and destroyed new Labour’s credibility too…

Possibly, yes. It would be convenient for them for Starmer to take the hit before they sack him. Country before party etc. 🙄

A great thought there, not sure though

TheNuthatch · 09/02/2026 17:48

Starmer about to leave No.10 to face his MPs 🍿

Lucy Powell sounded so utterly insincere when she was saying we've got a country to run - and I just thought, what have they bought them off with?

Wes Streeting also not very convincing with his support.

I’m 100% with this.

Rayner for PM.

Whereistheejectbutton · 09/02/2026 18:15

@TheNuthatch did you see the latest on times that Streeting is saying no 10 briefing against him whilst he was making his support speech? Saying he’s in cahoots with Anas Sarwar…

maybe this isn’t all over yet…
