[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.

I rarely do look at it, as I base my reading on what's in 'active', and it's not often on there when I'm browsing. Serves me right for being nosey really! 🤣🤣

I'm glad Starmer has gone too. Just a bit cautious as to what's next. 😬

Yep
Happy bollard week 🍾🥂

@Nuthatch26 worth finding pmq highlights, Kemi commented on reeves not being at KS resignation then popping up for AB selfie, Ed M not being at PMQs, his treachery (noting he had form), and Bridget loyal but 0 percent of teachers in latest poll think she’s doing a good job. Good line about Keir having 400 knives in his back.

tbf, cracking summary of the state of play.

One of the bollards on our estate was knocked down by a careless driver the other day...it was a sign of what was to come! 🤣

Indeed 😄🙌 🍾

Can’t wait for him to actually be gone, no more ‘comms’ yeh

The news agents interview with Karl Turner was good - I’d say Lammy was out too.

as for Keir, he’s 63, he’s got 3 years left as an mp, so he’s only got to find a bit of pocket money before he hits retirement age, assuming he’s not reelected MP at the next election…

Thank you. I was too busy at work today. I'll watch it on catch up soon. Sounds great.

So many posters still think the problem is the sodding comms. No, it's not, it's that the long list of supposed positive things Labour has achieved is a list of utter irrelevances when it comes to the pound in people's pockets and how far it goes. Nobody in their right mind gives a flying fuck about soggy toast.

When can he take his DPP pension? Also, when does his 'former-PM pension' start? He's not exactly going to be short of a few quid, and I imagine he can draw the DPP one down before he's 67.

Karl must be loving it. Hopefully he’ll get back in and heard properly. Poor guy being briefed against

If there is no contest (looking likely) there are 23 days to go until 17th July! 🥳

It's pretty fucking damning what the NEU members think: https://neu.org.uk/latest/press-releases/government-fails-new-polls-teachers-and-support-staff-and-labours-own-members

Karl was hilariously scathing about Lammy ‘he hasn’t got a clue, bless him’ on the jury trial stuff

Wonder what BP does with her salary? feed the poor? Her salary beats the national average by a long mile

Our Wet wipe mp has aligned himself with burnham he’s such a turncoat he’s had his ass handed to him on his FB pages

His friend Lord Hermer owes him so should find him something useful to do.

I don't know where anyone pops off to. I don't follow many threads. But it's a fact that some subjects do raise the blood pressure.

Snap! Freddo signed the 'Starmer must stay' letter last month and last week switched allegiance to Burnham. He also voted to continue the puberty blocker trial on kids. Utter twat that he is.

Good line about Keir having 400 knives in his back.

A line the speaker rebuked her for because, you know, 2 MPs have been stabbed to death in recent years. Jesus Christ - you lot are unbelievable what with this and the oh so funny 'bollard' what with this and the oh so funny 'bollard' moniker you endlessly use in homage to that wit and stellar PM Boris Johnson. As a Labour supporter it's been a difficult week but reading this has restored my faith in the left because, well, we're not like this!

You are exactly like this when it is not your side in charge.

@LupaMoonhowl but the teaching was crap ??

You mean the left are somehow not humans ?

I wouldn't go so far as to call Johnson a 'stellar' PM. He was totally unsuited for the role. He does have an amusing way with words though, so you're right that he's witty!

Any more to add, @stripycats, or was it a drive-by scolding?

Oh, I've a word for you: 'sanctimonious'. Go look it up.

Um I could be wrong but I don't think you'll find many Boris supporters on here either.

@stripycats how can you still be a Labour supporter? How ! I mean jeez if you are you must be in a parallel universe to the rest of the country. If you truly are yes I can imagine you must of had a rough week although how you can think Starmer is anything other than a weak spineless traitor being succeeded by more of the same with a northern twang not a nasel dialect
