[TheNuthatch]

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.

Yes I think so.

If nothing else, our esteemed PM provides a rich source of material for the creators of memes.

No punches have been pulled in this Spectator article:

Brilliant 😂😂

I saw one yesterday with a similar caption, and it was Starmer serving the tea in a maid outfit. 🤣

It’s the dishonesty and lies that do it. Inserting ‘we’ into to any positive outcome when he had f all to do with it.

His whole leadership has been this posturing nonsense.

I absolutely love the line about the Clangers.

It's pathetic isn't it,love the meme dancing.

Interesting commentator on itv good morning he said starmer sounds like a commentator saying he's fed up with trump and Putin affecting our bills ....ok great ,good honesty your one of us ...actually no you aren't you are the pm ! What are you going to do about it?
He's making these bizarre statements that we already know !

Thanks for the link. This is excellent. Brutal, but she nails it.

So true.

Absolutely. The article posted above by Dancing points rightly to the heavy lifting of "we".

Starmer seems to have deluded his own MPs into thinking that he's the best man for the job. They have a shock coming in May me thinks.

My favourite bit is the Frank Spencer section...'Ooo Betty'! 🤣

Things aren't going very well for Healey behind the scenes.

The new poll, by JL Partners, shows that a majority of voters in every region and age group want the Prime Minister to be replaced.
Asked “should Keir Starmer stay or go?”, 64 per cent of people said he should go and 18 per cent said he should stay. Of those who voted Labour in 2024, 46 per cent said they wanted him to go now.

"Strapped to the bow singing we shall overcome "

’masterpiece in ambulance chasing’ that was a good laugh!

Sounds like the Chagos deal might have been scrapped. That would be a bit of good news.

It's a non starter. What fools we look.

It’s all on Starmer this one. Others said it was foolish. His pride makes him out of touch and arrogant enough to dismiss anyone else.

Business and hauliers that rely on diesel esp have asked reeves to drop the fuel tax coming. They have said it's the wrong time. ( Should not need to spell this out ). They said it will cause massive inflation on top of huge pressures for them.

They have shown other counties dropping taxes to help people.

It is good news. Just reading about it in The Times. It has been dropped from the King's Speech (U turn no.16), but sources saying the govt intend to bring it back.
They acknowledge that the UK can't proceed without US approval though, and I can't see Trump doing Starmer a solid any time soon!

Let's hope thats the end of it, but you never know with this lot. They have a death wish.

I doubt Reeves will listen. She/the govt already know what's happening.
I paid £1.88 per litre for diesel yesterday. A big chunk of that went to the treasury.

Good grief. Just been reading other threads. 🤯

Thank God for this thread! 💙

Just listened to Kemi's speech and Q & A at the London Defence Conference. She was brilliant.

Not sure if you’re reading the same threads as me but getting the impression people have had really had enough of this shit show. Have you read the questions for Rachel Reeves thread, some great questions on there (which I cannot see her answering).

Yes, just seen that thread. Some good questions, but I think we can guess how Reeves will respond. The usual waffle, probably claims of misogyny too.

I'm seeing a lot of threads about welfare and many posters have clearly had enough. Some posters trying to police these threads. Are we not allowed to discuss welfare now? How very dare anyone have an issue with the ballooning welfare bill eh! Its ridiculous how some think they can control what others think/say on here.

Please could you link to it here?
