[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.

Sorry, the increase in spending relative to GDP.

Must admit I thought Dan Jarvis was better than this, then again a quick look at some his recent fb posts shows a worrying tendency for non-delivery cheerleading. So perhaps he thinks Secretary of Defence is more about defending the indefensible. I suppose we'll see....

They'll still be ringing round trying to find someone to replace Al Carns now.

I can’t see Jarvis staying in post very long.

I wonder what kind of back room deal has been done to get Jarvis to agree? It’s got poisoned chalice written all over it. We’ll see….

Probably the same as the atmosphere in No.11. They'll be sending out for emergency supplies of Kleenex.

Understood, making a seperate point but should have been clearer.
Just pondering if Starmer will get hammered for upping the offer after Healey resigned, when he could have done so before.

Not this! 🤣

Oh, it's been a long day here, think my brain is grinding to a halt.

I’ve just read Carns’s full resignation statement. There was no need for me to try to read between the lines! Carns says it loudly: he’s well fucked off with the government’s legal harassment of soldiers. Good on him.

The way bollard is depicted in the first cartoon is so funny. It’s how he is.

I can’t believe there’s still Labour cheerleading on here.

🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌

😂

@CaveMum the Afghanistan scene where everything around them in the dining room is being blown to smithereens !and they carry on eating as though nothing to see here !!

😂

Was it Iraq when a minister gave a live interview, saying everything is fine when there were bombs landing behind him? 😂

That was Comical Ali wasn’t it?

I can't remember, but sounds right. The image of him just popped in my head.

Jarvis is an idiot for taking that post.

NATO exercises invited Ukraine to take part. They wiped out the opposition three times.
