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.

Oh gosh I really hope you like it!! May you enjoy cost-effective dry clothes 😁

Its great, and surprisingly fast. Don't worry, I won't blame you if it breaks down. 🤣🤣

I might dig out our smart meter now you mention cost. I hid it in the garage somewhere.

@SpaceRaccoon

I bought the dryer you recommended. A friend recommended the exact same one as yours so I took the plunge. Picked it up from Curry's this afternoon and its now tumbling away. It's very space age and making me feel a bit thick, but v happy with it. Thank you 😊

Of course the sun came out as soon as DH fitted it. 😂

Fab it’s like a thread mascot. Hopefully last longer than Labour in power 😬

The Labour Isn't Working official tumble dryer. How very rock 'n' roll we are. 🤣🤣 💃 🕺 😎

I love that photo of Meloni @boys3

She encapsulates my feelings perfectly.

This popped up on my Facebook earlier!

'Labour isn't working, but my tumble dryer is!'

We've had dry, breezy weather today, so our washing has all been outside (other than the not-forecast showers during the dog walk this morning).

All his lines are bogus especially this one. He’ll sack anyone to survive.

This is why so many people hate him. He's a liar and a hypocrite. It doesn't matter how many soggy toast clubs they open.

Boris was a [insert chosen word], but he didn't pretend to be anything else.

Keir Starmer has backed his cabinet secretary Antonia Romeo, after claiming that she withheld vetting info from him for two weeks

I have no words.

OP posts:
EasternStandard · 18/04/2026 20:31

I was listening to someone who handily reminded that we’re in the foothills of the Mandelson affair. Still to come are emails, WhatsApps etc

Starmer will run out of people to blame / sack.

TheNuthatch · 18/04/2026 20:36

Yeah there is likely worse to come for Labour when/if the rest of the files are released.

Kemi has demanded that govt comply with the humble address and release everything by the end of next week.
Labour won't want to release the next tranche before the elections.

Morning 😁

Gorgeous weather here today.

Just watching Liz Kendall defending the indefensible on Sky. Trevor Phillips is doing a good job. Taking no bs.

DameProfessorIDareSay · 19/04/2026 08:47

Morning all.

My morning so far:

Wake up
Check news
How the fuck is he still PM!?
Stick head under quilt and scream
Dogs abandon me

I do like Trevor, will watch that later @TheNuthatch

TheNuthatch · 19/04/2026 08:54

That made me giggle @DameProfessorIDareSay 😁

Its well worth watching, when you can face it. Full gloves off interview from Phillips. 👏

I was doom scrolling reels and (weirdly!) my algorithms led to me being shown a number discussing the Mandelson issue. Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell said essentially the same as us on TRiP: how, after everything kicked off, did Starmer not check exactly what had gone on before he said anything to the press / public about it?

DancingFerret · 19/04/2026 09:10

Liz Kendall beating the drum for Starmer on Kuenssberg right now. It's hard enough to watch her expressions and listen to her long drawn-out vowels at the best of times, but this is just painful.😱

Yeah exactly. Starmer made the decision to appoint Mandelson knowing his history.
The rest is just lies and nonsense.

There’s a lot of posters doing the same on here.

They all say that. It’s Labour’s script.

All their lines are totally bogus.

Yeah. The off-the-scale loyalty is bonkers! So willing to excuse Starmer everything (and to believe it was somebody else's job, to the extent that even though it all kicked off last year, it's totally understandable that Starmer allegedly knew nothing until this week).

I have a bridge to sell to such people!

Surely some of these people they're wheeling out don't actually believe the shit they're saying?!

Not Freddo, Freddo is rather dim and likely believes all he's told.

I think they’ll buy whatever Starmer is selling and put Labour lines on SM for them no matter what.

She has form for that, but this morning she was off the scale.
