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

Have Labour only just learned that the French don't actually want to stop the boats leaving France? 🙄

I’m not sure that Labour have yet learned anything so far. Even learning from just one of their multitude of mistakes would be a start. A start I don’t see coming.

Theyd fight like ferrets in a sack.

Youth unemployment question to Labour. No bloody clue about what happens when unemployment goes up.

Ffs

He’s been called tin eared by businesses. They’ve lost faith in Labour. Not a pro business gov, still he fucks about with excuses.

What’s the point of meeting the PM if he ignores businesses, it’s performative. What happens when people are fired? Totally blank.

@DameProfessorIDareSay I think that's an April fools but the scary thing is one doesn't know with this utter bunch of incompetents.

And get the square root of fuck all done.

Surely this is their April Fool?!

ETA: @StatuteofLiberty got in there first!

Yes it is an April Fool, but must admit it took me a second to clock it this morning! It will give him bloody ideas though 😱

Sadly the huge amount of extra costs hitting business is real. And Labour are still fools.

Oh yes and all the extras that reeves is making mean nasty business owners pay

Sounds like a Peter Kyle interview?
I rolled my eyes when I read about the meeting Starmer chaired. Can you imagine what the top business bosses actually think of him?

They are clueless. In fact, its worse than that. They're actively scuppering businesses at every opportunity.
We can only hope that the next govt has some properly thought-through, day one plans to inject some confidence and get the economy moving.

I’ve seen some corkers like this, this morning 😂😂😂😂

I don’t blame him -Starmer is an utter waste of space

Exactly this.
It's actually fucking plausible that this shower would suggest cold tea and longer hair. You never know with Ed Milliband, who appears to be running the country atm!

Exactly all their policies are that level.

He's good at calling meetings, and .......🤔

Nope, that's all I can think of.

Oh, thought of another! He's also good at saying 'let me be clear' 😂

Reeves is still refusing to cut fuel duty, and also stated help with energy costs will be targeted at poorer households.

Tin-eared and arrogant as usual, so par for the course, but for the love of Cod when will she and the rest of the incompetents going to stop blaming their decisions on "what we inherited"? Tedious.

I can’t listen to them but bloody hell at the same old lines.

Just bring on 7th May.

Yep.

I just listened to Starmer and media questions. What a load of crap he spouts. He just ignored all questions about what other countries are putting in place.
The press had clearly sent their B team which didn't help. One good question from a journo about the impacts on young people - housing, jobs, childcare, student fees etc. Starmer answered that the last govt had let them down, thats why Labour are building more houses. How can he say that Labour are building more houses? 🤯
Waffle, lies, waffle, lies, on and on.

Oh, and he said they're going to have more meetings. 🙄

Amen 🙏

It’s this that makes him the most hated PM. I can just hear those answers and lies.
