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.

@WaffleBomb @justasking111 you are so sweet

Sorry, I didn't mean I was leaving this thread completely

I just meant that I've got to stop looking at politics so much. It's not doing me any good. Tbh MN isn't doing me any good but I've been quite out of sorts today so I haven't done much else 😱

It's this bloody weather. We should be moaning about the heat by now. Instead we've got another cold week ahead. It's enough to fry anyone's brains 😭

It's probably been mentioned already but Raynor's letter mentions raising the nmw again to get young people into work.

It's diabolical

Yes making it even more expensive to employ young people will definitely lead to more jobs being created. And who cares about inflation.

One of my biggest issues with this Government is they seem completely unable to identify consequences.

Harriet Harmon defending peadophile rights and who knew she was Cameron’s cousin and her son was head of the Fabien society they are all disgusting grifters such a dirty game politics

Anyone read Angela Rayner’s statement from yesterday? It was a an incoherent superficial mess. There was no mention of immigration. I don’t think anyone’s taking them serIously any more.

i have noted that every time you ring the DWP, which I’ve had cause to do quite a lot recently as I have POA for an elderly relative, the first message you here is “would you like to speak to someone in English?”

Flowers There’s some angry people out there, taking it out via mn posts.

DrasticAction · 11/05/2026 08:04

@CandidLurker yes and she thinks the key to getting young people to work is raising the nmw again

She just doesn’t get it. Not a clue.

I’m avoiding the bollard’s speech. I can imagine the lines being pushed.

Oh full on shirt no tie mode. Things are looking bad.

Twittering on about the pain of prices at the pumps whilst conveniently ignoring Labour has refused to reduce the fuel duty to alleviate that pain.

Going on about his parents now, how his mum was ill and that they didn't have a lot of money. Still waiting for "toolmaker".

Hes a barefaced liar.

This is aimed solely at saving his arse.

Hallowedturf · 11/05/2026 10:30

Now he’s creating a fictitious enemy.

Siege mentality.

Shades of Downfall….

Nice to see his family members get a look in. Good old Keir. Such a family man. But why overlook his niece? Seems an odd exclusion for the only other elected member of his family.

Taking questions from the media...Beth Rigby ready to turn the screw.

I forgot about her. Did she win?
