[Nuthatch26]

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.

I agree @FatEndoftheWedge Jess P's letter should've caused a lot more MPs to want him out - what a shocking indictment of his fence-sitting. He's an odd man, digging in about all of the wrong things.

I can recommend plenty of podcasts. I’m something of an addict!

What do we think Kemi will say to Starmer as they walk alongside each other for the State Opening this morning?!

😂

’Your zip is undone’
’Is that your fiver fell on the ground?’
‘Привіт, красивий великий хлопче 😉’

Very interesting article. I think Labour are more squeezed out than the Conservatives. The working class have gone to Reform and the Socialists to the Greens. What’s left of them is indistinguishable from the LibDems.

It looks like the scale from Left to Right is: Greens, LibDems, Conservatives, Reform. Where does Labour fit?

Something unsavoury about, “look what she made him do.” His petulance is his own. His reactions are down to him. He is an arse.

Reports that Streeting is on the verge of resigning

Yes massive ego plus fragility. He fought against the timetable approach and now will likely see a challenge now if WS reports happen.

I’m watching the state opening and can’t see him on the front bench….

DM online says Starmer looks like a school boy on his very first day, clutching his wife’s hand as he sets off for King’s Speech 😁

No nor can I

Found him, right at the back alongside James Cleverley 😅

I’m watching for first time, so much pomp quote something. I do love the pomp and ceremony part, sorry to any republicans posting in this thread. The actual speech is a bit Labour dull so have switched off.

Kemi looked like she chatted in a nice manner to bollard.

Not looking too happy 😉

Yes The Times, and Beth Rigby saying the same. Will resign tomorrow apparently - if true.

I adore all the pomp 😁

Yes Kemi looks to be in a very good mood.

My guess is that headline risk, based on deteriorating economic data may prove the catalyst - possibly via Reeves.

That would be good.

He’s such an ocean-going, gold-plated prick.

Have to say with Labour there’s never a dull moment is there?

That gold, the throne, fur and crown

Incredible 😬

I was very fortunate to have worked in the HoL and was at the last state opening.
Whatever your views on the monarchy, the whole shebang is awe inspiring and I felt very privileged to have been able to walk those halls in my capacity as a minion of the state 😉
Kemi does look very chipper!

Oh that’s ace I’d love that.

I'm here for the pomp. Watching Charles flick through the notes, like 'when will this end?' is a bonus.
