[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.

This sort of propaganda has no place in school.

Haha, you made me laugh and brought back some memories. 😂
Bet you had a shock when you visited for the first time, coming from rural Kent. Must have been an eye opener.

Excellent article from Matthew Syed. Andy Burnham has a nicer personality than Kier, but the same wrong perspective.

Socialism isn’t the cure for Britain’s ills, it’s causing them

Syed isn't wrong. Those excited by the prospect of Prime Minister Burnham need to listen very carefully to his vision for the UK. I have a feeling "we ain't seen nothing yet".

So, what time is the resignation going to be then?!

Good Morning. Please may I join? Been lurking and this is the safest place here...by far.

I just feel I will enjoy today!

Morning all, checking in ahead of the anticipated news.

Are we doing a sweepstake on timing? I’m guessing afternoon, as he’ll spend the morning frantically ringing round his last few supporters, but he’ll want to make the evening news/tomorrow mornings papers.

I hope he’ll go out in a blaze of glory and will call a GE!

😄

Bur he won’t do even that.

Dibs on 12:00.

Wouldn’t that be the gangster move- challenge me and I will call a GE!

God if he bloody called a GE for the first time i would be campaigning like a lunatic ! But not in my area Guess who I met on retreat two ladies in JRM constituency who have had no mp since Dan Norris was arrested guess where I would be 😜

I’ll almost have respect for him if he did it.

Me too!

But I'm going for an 11.00am resignation announcement. Doubt it'll be much earlier, as he needs to go and see the King.

I actually meant to put sanest...but I guess safest may work as well especially today!

Ah I'd forgotten that. Well I hope the king is home.

I think it's either / or really! It's pretty wild out there in MN land. 🤣

Actually, that can’t be guaranteed today.

The general meltdown might spread here as well, IYSWIM.
😿😿😿

Welcome. Both work 😀. It’s going to be nuts today.

Note to the thread monitors: check where you are before posting! 🤣 👋 🤣

Ooh. Sorry about the flashing on that!

They won't miss that!

Consider it my service to careless posters! 🤣🤣

At least no one can miss it!

Just seen in the header for today’s EMQ edition of Political Currency, that our favourite Bootneck (😜) Al Carns has said he only met Keir Starmer ONCE in an official capacity. That’s pretty damming isn’t it?!

I know he was a junior Minister, but still you’d think he could make the effort to try and meet them more than once over a 2 year period?!

Times radio - audio and speakers being set up outside no 10

Going to be pretty soon
