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.

Kemi is acting like a proper statesman

Pacificsunshine · 04/06/2026 15:10

Yep, she’s my favourite.

Thanks @Nuthatch26!

Agree on Kemi @Parsley4321

SionnachRuadh · 04/06/2026 16:59

Thanks @Nuthatch26

Kemi has been good on all this.

It's not really necessary for her to follow Farage around tutting and rolling her eyes and saying "what Nigel said yesterday is correct but it's the way he said it" - but I suppose her party demands that.

Thank you @Nuthatch26. (Great cartoon!)

@Nuthatch26 Hit the nail on the head. - The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Starmer, Reeves and Co are strangling business and growth ! Absolutely the worst Government we have had in years. People surely did not think this is what they were getting when they welcomed them with open arms ?

I’m not in uk atm has there been a back lash about Pat McFadden saying all meetings are about taxing more people hoping to watch it but not optimistic hope Yussef is with him

Albertroad · 04/06/2026 19:20

Checking in. Thanks tor the new thread!

Nuthatch26 · 04/06/2026 19:41

Evening all 😁

Welcome @TwoWalls. Its not my quote, its Mrs Thatcher. 💙 How right she was!

Not sure I can stomach QT tonight. You might have to take one for the team Dancing.
Does your dh still hide the remote when its on? 😂

I listened to a bit of Burnham's interview with Beth Rigby and its was all obfuscation and waffle. He wouldn't even admit that he's running to become PM. I mean, come on!
His speeches etc were powerful after the Manchester bombing, so maybe he'll try and replicate that on the leftie soapbox that is the BBC.

It was all over the front pages the next day, but obviously other events have taken over now.
Have a lovely time, wherever you are. 😁

Yes, still hiding the remote and on one occasion suggested a dose of Domosedan (horse sedative). I like to think he was joking...🤔😅

This is a good read. Highlights how woefully inept and detached this govt is from the public.
Some Labour MPs quoted not happy with the govt response this week.

Also highlights how well Kemi has done. (Yes I know I am very biased).
Thank goodness we've had Kemi to fill the gaping hole where the prime minister should have been.

Starmer too slow to react to Nowak murder furore, Labour MPs say

The prime minister has been accused of allowing Nigel Farage to set the agenda after police footage of the student’s mistaken arrest was released

The DT have a live feed for tonight's QT as its being filmed.

Burnham has confirmed that he will look to oust Starmer if elected.
Downing St have responded immediately, saying that Starmer "will not walk away".
