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.

Andy Burnham has pledged to cough up compensation for WASPI women. Estimated cost £10.5bn.

Instant black hole creation there!

It was Hilary Benn. He deliberately misunderstood and swerved the question about alien cultures.

Oh not like his father then

Good point, he is a populist.

Apologies if already posted, I must have missed it, but this is well worth a read on the events in Belfast:

I 100% agree with one of the comments:

"What you wrote applies to most indigenous working class communities across Europe."

Thats a fantastic read, thank you for sharing.

I'm sure Hilary Benn rocking up, spouting bollocks was really helpful.

Just get Kemi in fgs, with Rishi

Mahmood could even cross the floor if so inclined. Honestly it’s an absolute shitshow.

I will laugh until my sides split if the cabinet all abandon Bollard. He deserves it, as do his super fans.

Oh gosh so would I

Nuthatch26 · 11/06/2026 12:24

Healey obviously isn't prepared to prop up this utter fucking disaster that is the defence investment plan. Good on him for telling the worst prime minister we've ever had to shove it.

John Healey was a major Starmer yes man with Steve Reed wasn’t he

Fascinating. Bollard is sinking.

Agree

On the subject of the defence plan, today’s Matt was brilliant.

AFAIK, he doesn't get on particularly well with Burnham, so who knows.
Maybe he fancies a go himself?

At least no one can accuse them of rushing it through.

Upstartled · 11/06/2026 12:29

Starmer offered 0.08% defence increase by 2030? Wtf?

EasternStandard · 11/06/2026 12:30

Kemi is going to roast Starmer at PMQs. He’s probably hoping Burnham takes over by now, if he had any self awareness so maybe not.

Upstartled · 11/06/2026 12:33

All that bollocks at the dispatch box of raising defence spending to 3% just yesterday, Healy must have been ready to thump him.

Upstartled · 11/06/2026 12:41

Actually, here's Healy's death stare while Starmer was defending his foot dragging on the dip yesterday.

Crucifying with a Major saying he doesn’t like to criticise politicians or say it’s a disaster but Starmer is out of his depth.

Ouch
