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.

@Nuthatch26 don't worry I wasn't really going to do it

I do actually think it's safe enough because it's just the neighbours in the block of flats and people will probably be awake all night with doors and windows open! I do go out there when I can't sleep at 3 am. It's fine.

It’s not a communal garden, and the hammock is a big wooden structure, a bit like a beached Viking ship.

And I’ve had a couple of glasses of wine and I’m not moving.

🍷

I was going round our grazing fields this afternoon checking on troughs and topping up where necessary. When I finished I stood under the hose and got absolutely soaked. It was pure bliss.

(Did someone mention a hosepipe ban?)

We're forecast storms at 6am, AKA dog walking time! Might be exhilarating out there. 😬🤣

Still hugely hot here, today will be our worst day it's 6.30.and all the windows are open but there is no cool breeze to get in ! The accumulated heat will hit us.
Tonight we will get a small reprieve until it goes down to 18 over night.

Anyway !! The times ..."an unholy alliance formed between unite and bankers to STOP ed millband putting a Noose around us, a danger to Britain.

A danger !!
Don't treason laws still exist ??

Hot and suffocating here today. 🥵 The dog had a curtailed stroll at 5.30 (shortened as he was spooked by the sound of distant thunder and wanted to get home!). I had high hopes for a storm clearing the air, but not to be, as it's gone from the forecast now. 😭

I'm glad that there are (hopefully) influential parties saying no to Miliband as chancellor. Surely Burnham has to pay them some heed?

despite it not being that hot on the east side of Scotland….thunderstorms in the night. Look like I’ve enjoyed some sort of all night party here!

Good morning 😁

We've had some heavy rain, but it hasn't helped the temperature. Its just more humid.

Miliband shouldn't even be in the cabinet imo, never mind chancellor. That would be a new low. Hopefully Burnham will see sense. He won't get much of a honeymoon period if he appoints Ed M.
Starmer and co seem to enjoy upsetting the public, let's see if Burnham is cut from the same cloth.

They really do. Happily we could get rid of some of them after all. We get to vote, as much as that must bug bollard.

Who AB chooses as chancellor will impact his chances.

Oof. Mike Tapp has taken to X and said that he won't be intimidated and is going nowhere.
Mahmood called for his head yesterday, accusing him of breaking the ministerial code.

Speaks to the complete breakdown of government rn. They're embarrassing.

I still think that Streeting may have been promised chancellor for withdrawing from the contest.

Yes, they were happy to dish out spiteful policy, cheered on by the back benches.
Not so happy when the public gave their verdict at the local elections were they!

Could be, that would be better than Miliband at least.
I've seen plenty on the left cheering on Miliband for chancellor, probably simply because they know it will upset the right. They haven't learned a thing.

Haha. 😁
I've given up trying to look nice until its cooler. Hair is staying in a bun!

It’s silly as they presumably want to stay in. Irritating people tends to get the opposite result.

Look at Starmer packing his bags. That’s where it gets you.

It looks like various competing parties want Miliband v someone not him, whether it’s unions, PLP, electorate.

You were right @SapphireCasino

Yes, but those people simply didn’t understand how a local election is supposed to be about bin collections only, according to the usual suspects.

Why don’t some of the unions want him, allegedly?

Sharon Graham has been scathing of Miliband's policies costing jobs.

This is not going to go down well at all.

I know, its weird that the govt announce it as if it will be popular. It won't.
Just shows how completely out of touch they are with the public.

I’m hoping for Streeting as he’s the best of a bad bunch in that he might possibly realise that he does need to talk the talk on growth…

Or whatever that metaphor is - not a great brain day!

Interesting that Farage's 'very bad job' rating is not far off Starmer's

Just listening to the radio. Suggestions that Mike Tapp defying Starmer to curry favour with Burnham. Starmer to weak to sack him.
