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.

They might need a sedation and a straitjacket.

The Renters Rights Act suddenly makes complete sense.

Conservatives hold Hillingdon council fairly easily by the looks of things.

Wow the bollard strikes down another career.

The level of collective Labour denial is genuinely difficult to fathom.

According to Labour MP Preet Kaur Gill we all need to get our ears syringed - any excuse to expand the welfare bill.

😂😂
Obviously the electorate just need to be educated some more. What are they on!

Labour closing in on 700 councillor losses. I have to give them credit - another 100 losses in less than half an hour. You see they can deliver when they want to. 😃

Louise Haigh - with a lovely new dye - basically tells Starmer to fuck off. She hedges it, but the message is clear.

Ikr. How many more will they sacrifice to save the most unpopular PM we've ever had. Ludicrous, but let them crack on with it.

It’s a shame that so many people have lost their jobs because of the mess in central government.

True, and the newly unemployed will not have great CV’s either…

apparently we're "not hearing" - I took this an an implication that we need to syringe our collective ears so we can all hear better. 😃

Looks like Norfolk will not go to Reform as they have 40, would need 43, and there are only two districts left to declare.

EasternStandard · 08/05/2026 17:10

A lot of Labour people saying Lammy is wrong about Starmer not coming up on the doorstep. He’s the main reason.

zurigo · 08/05/2026 17:14

Greens have taken Nicola Sturgeon's old seat in Glasgow.

WaffleBomb · 08/05/2026 17:16

More Labour MPs coming out calling for him to go. Perhaps the penny is beginning to drop.

Liz Kendall with the usual. So many Labour lines. Just horrendous.

boys3 · 08/05/2026 17:22

Reform just reached 1,000 gains.

Labour should reach 800 losses in the next few minutes.

EasternStandard · 08/05/2026 17:24

London starting to come through. Lewisham mayor Green. They’ve been Labour as an area for an age.

WaffleBomb · 08/05/2026 17:25

Just listening to a Labour MP. He is calling for Starmer to go, but he wants to take forever having a good think about it, and have a long period of naval gazing first. They are funny 😁
