[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.

Sounds like a tag line for a spa day does that! Just up MN's street! 🤣🤣

I can't be arsed with any of them, frankly.

I laugh at these names. They sound like an M&S spa candle range.

There's definitely a merch opportunity there... your Ben Habib candle is a beguiling blend of lavender and bergamot, while your Laurence Fox diffuser brings a subtle spiced port scent to your bedroom.

I'm not sure if I should be worrying about you coming up with a scent for Laurence Fox! 😬🤢🤣

I got burned badly when they launched Trump cologne. I cannot tell you how disappointed I was that it wasn't McRib scented, with an undertone of Musk.

Head of Raspberry Pi warning on energy costs damaging firms, who would've thought? If you're in anyway a trad tory surely Kemi is hitting hard on the core conservative message of economics, focus on growth etc...hard to be right identified and not feel that this is sadly lacking on the other side of the bench.

She will. All this turmoil will be chaos against Labour.

Burnham standing is looking like it’ll impact the markets.

I’m not sure he’ll make it through but if he does it’s a let’s see how they react issue.

Good morning. 😁 Happy Friday! It's been a busy week hasn't it.

Burnham effect on the markets. I love how the markets give an immediate and raw response to political shenanigans. They don't fuck about or offer an explanation, just tell it how it is. Burnham = bad.

At this point, I think it's Labour = bad. They're such a mess, and I can't see a way out of this for them that won't be sub-optimum (at best) for the country.

I really want Burnham to not get elected. Just for shits and giggles, like!

Morning. It has been a huge week. I think I have politics fatigue kicking in. Maybe that's the plan, just spin us all around so much that we are exhausted and apathetic?

Steve Reed sounding panicky this morning. Starmer and allies’ future rests on Makerfield outcome. And all Labour really.

Trouble is they can’t just use him to speak for every part of the gov each morning.

Feeling very fatigued here too @Upstartled , especially as Burnham is no friend to women (not that many Labour politicians are but Streeting was at least listening (or pretending to).)
I can’t be feeling as fatigued as Sall Grover though; WTF Australia?!

My goddess we need Kemi 🙏

Oh God not him again.

Yes I understand the politics fatigue thing. I'm just sick of Labour generally though so could be that. They are all feckin useless imo, so I'm struggling to care who takes over.
Reed has done a shift this week hasn't he. Obviously not many ministers willing to go out and bat for Starmer. The new Health Sec appointment is a joke, obviously scraping the barrel. Bollard not strong enough to re-shuffle.

I've been getting more and more annoyed about Burnham's behaviour. Even Jess Phillips has mentioned the entitlement. I hope he loses.

FFS 🙄

There will be more and more stuff like this coming out now that Burnham is going for it.

Fox poo could maybe do it. My dog certainly loves it😂

The left love to do a bit of ‘offence archaeology’. Well, let’s see how they like it when they are the subjects.
#TerfsKeepReceipts

I doubt dogs like Laurence Fox though...they're quite discerning creatures!

To be fair, I’ve met him a couple of times and he smelled very pleasant 👃😊

Yeh they’re up against it either way. They brought it on themselves.

I haven’t watched Kemi’s speech yet but saw the runners and riders clip and the Emily Thornberry one, so funny. She is great off the cuff.

Well, I suppose there has to be one thing that's pleasant about him! 🤷‍♀️

I've watched it quite a few times now. If only Kemi could take over.
Hopefully that idea will start taking root with the public whilst Labour show us what they really are over the next few months.

I thought ET was ok in some parts of the committee thing so I don’t really dislike her but she just sounded so disconnected and just wrongly superior and then Kemi’s response.

There’s a fair bit on IG, ik algorithms etc, but new people with many followers saying she’s great.

Hmm, I think ET does a good job in interviews for Labour, does a cracking line in telling people off but she's full gender bollocks so I have no truck with her. Although, I will say, she has a cracking collection of jackets.

Sorry the IG bit was for Kemi, saying she’s great with that ET clip.

Also More in Common guy this morning saying focus groups all pretty come back positively for Kemi too with feedback like she’s says it like it is, classic focus group type stuff. It’s more mn still stuck on liking Starmer.

The harder part is moving people on the actual party.
