[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.

His opinion of Sky News was interesting. I've heard it before from the conservatives. Personally I went off them years ago.

Starmer just made me laugh. Desperate stunt by a man of sleaze. Was he looking in the mirror perhaps.

Just heard the Reform have offered to pay for the by-election costs -unlike the Labour Party vanity project in Makerfield which was completely unnecessary -in this case it is an honorable vote of confidence (or not) given all rhe wild allegations about him.

At least we won’t have to see him soon, his mirror will be it ;

Seriously I don't want any mp of any party to be in physical danger that some are at times.

Fun day all round so far - Farage resigns (and I have a feeling Clacton might be his swansong) and Harry loses his case against ANL.

@CaveMum Those kittens are delightful. They'll be a riot when they come out from under the bed.😉

😂😂 oh the irony

This

Agree. Its wrong whoever is on the receiving end. The left are fine with it when its someone they don't like.
I have a lot of sympathy for what Farage said about his daughter. Sky News has basically admitted that they were at a property linked to Farage and were told to sod off by the occupant - presumably Farage's daughter. They lied when they said that they hadn't approached his family on air yesterday.

Will Andy Burnham now cough up for the two by-elections he caused?

Same. His daughter should be left out of this.

Thank god for your thread @Nuthatch26

Farage is grandstanding. It would not be allowed.

Hahahahahaha

Yep. How about whipping against a privileges committee. Pot kettle bollard.

Are they all frothing out there? 😂

Pretty much

Good good. Laughing at some of the posts on Twiglets thread. 🤣

Anyone else looking forward to Count Binface's manifesto for Clacton? 😁

It was getting a bit dull what with Burnham taking his time doing matey clips and bollard doing hair gel videos.

Wake up some mners on a hot Tuesday afternoon 😬

Sadly, I think Farage will get re-elected.

I doubt that will end his troubles. But he will have the ‘triumphant’ photos on the night and a narrative to spin.

However, if he loses, probably to the Tories, that’s the end of Reform. I cannot believe that any senior Reform figure agreed with this risky strategy.

If he loses, I'm not sure he'll toddle off into the sunset though. He can still influence while not being an MP, perhaps even more so. He's been around for years now, yet only an MP for two years.

I think they will have, but obviously can’t be sure. A couple have been speaking pretty strongly on press issues.

Haha 😂
They need someone to hate don't they, keeps them ticking.
How will they cope in this by election if they need Kemi to beat Farage? Their heads will explode.

@LupaMoonhowl thank you, a relief that they are paying for it

Looking at the figures from the last election, I think they probably will win.

I believe the bold 'are' was more indicative of the tone.
