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.

Very true.

Some of it can be pretty vicious.

I refer you back to the Genereal Election 2024 board. I'm sure those threads are still available to read.
The insults, hunting in packs, emojis for anyone who didn't want Labour.

I do like those boards. Just seeing the naïve optimism sat there in suspended animation, 'grown ups back in charge', 'steady and stable', 'change', 'an economist chancellor, a chess master dontcha know'.... 😁😁😁

Toolmaker actually worked on SM. People will marvel at it in case studies 😬

This appeared on my FB feed today. TBH, I have to agree.

Can’t say any fairer than that.
There is so much anger at what this government have done.

Only two more days to go until gale force 10 vitriolic attacks on the electorate for not doing as they're told. 🍿

God yes, I’ve seen this in the past. It’s never a great look, blaming the electorate for not liking your party enough to vote for them.

I think the contest is between Labour and Lib Dem where I live. The Lib Dem candidate is the only one who came to see us (or at least the only one who came while we were in) and she said that she was only 111 votes down at the last one.

Unions can't even be arsed to wait for voting to start.

Well better late than never I suppose 🙄

If Rayner replaces Starmer can you imagine PMQs with Badenoch genius !

Quite.

Rayner would doubtless wheel out ‘scum’, or worse. I doubt she’s a stranger to the odd pub car park dust-up either.

Ah yes, lol - she probably thought the door was eye-balling her…
