[WaffleBomb]

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.

That’s certainly how it looks. Although if Cooper was minded to go for it I think she’d be the best of them (a low bar).

But there's no guarantee Burnham will win a seat. How long should they wait? Surely the momentum is now?

Labour did ok in Redbridge at the local election, or at least not as bad as expected. That helps Wes.

The punishment handed out to Labour in the North West raises a very serious question of whether there's a safe seat for Burnham. Bootle may be his best bet, but I wouldn't even want to bet on Bootle.

Been out all day - tired! - and still trying to catch but just popped in to say despite his best efforts Starmer is surely gone now isn’t he? It’s a shame, like Farage I wanted him to stay!

Idk Starmer could do the timetable thing and give space to AB to get it together.

This low?! I reckon lower!

FFS, Labour, how can a party be so fucking devoid of fucking talent?

Me neither. It's a bloody risk, isn't it?

But he still has to be elected. That's the risk, isn't it? And Starmer won't give a sodding timetable; he thinks he's the fucking messiah.

Ha true, he really does.
And yes it’s a risk re voting him back to start with.

Yep. And if 🤴 gets back into parliament, Streeting has no chance with the membership against 🤴 if there's a contest.

Labour still went backwards in Redbridge. If Streeting’s vote doesn’t improve by a lot, he’s out.

Odds on Starmer leaving in 2026 are 4/9 now.

HAHAHA…

I think Streeting busts out his moves after Starmer’s big reveal goes south.

Was his dad a tool-maker or a carpenter?

Starmer’s on a mission don’t you know - to make us all immeasurably poorer and fucked off.

Don’t worry GiaGia - everyone’s allowed one dickhead mate, as they say.

Not our Starmer, though - he’s got lots of dickhead mates!

Well Gordon brown pretended to like the Arctic Monkeys, so there is a precedent

I’ll bet he looks good on the dance floor….

Ok, Ok.

🤣🤣🤣

Bet he doesn't!

In 2009, while President of the NUS, Streeting posted tweets about wanting to push the Daily Mail journalist Jan Moir, under a train.

Okaaaaaay…

😂

Lovely fella.
Isn't he ex Stonewall aswell?

Where have you been? Everyone knows about that! He tweeted about punching Brown and various other nasty tweets. Kitty Corral will blow your mind. Although I think that one is bit of a fantasy. Streeting is not a nice man.

Yes…

It's probably fair to say none of the current Labour bunch is nice.
