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 could all move really fast, it'll be like bloody cheese dream if Burnham is in places with a cabinet of loony left in short order.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 19/06/2026 15:14

Do all the cabinet hate him?

It may already be too late to stockpile those small energy hungry appliances.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 19/06/2026 15:14

What about Reeves, she’ll clearly be out on her ear when Burnham gets in.

justasking111 · 19/06/2026 15:15

I've come to think that the bollard takes his orders from outside the parliamentary circle because he's been promised great things. He's merely a bit part actor.

Upstartled · 19/06/2026 15:16

Yes, for sure, she is toxic to the idea that there has been a proper change. And it was written all over her despondent face in pmqs last week. I don't think it will be a surprise.

Stick with your tribe; you know it makes sense - especially on MN.😉

Definitely the sane (and genuinely kind) tribe here.

They get upset when we all stay on here and don't go on other threads to argue with them. 😁

I've been v busy at work today so thankfully avoided all the madness on here. My lovely colleague who knows how much I despise Bollard bought me a cake to celebrate his demise.

Hope your loooong drive went well.

Wow, now I want a bollard day cake! But all I have is the ingredients for a fekking roast because who knew it was going to be crazy hot today, from nowhere?

Nuthatch26 · 19/06/2026 16:15

Oh no. Can you improvise?

So good 😀 You’ve all kept me going until this fine day. Not long to go now!

if KS, RR and BP go, I shall be breaking out the bubbles. The worst trio of sneering out of touch politicians I can recall.

Upstartled · 19/06/2026 16:22

Oh, I have already shoved everything in the oven and retreated upstairs, like a coward.
