Labour isn't Working - Thread 37

In Nuthatch's absence, I've been asked to start the new thread!

A chat thread for those of us who don't like this Labour government.

"Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Ed Milband is coming up the street together with Shabana Mahmood.

According to the Telegraph, by tradition, the first person in to see a new PM goes on to be named Chancellor.

I think we'd all be relieved if Larry the Cat was appointed as Chancellor.

Maybe they are going to have to fight it out in the street for the keys to number 11.

Comments about Asda managers don't seem fair

Asda managers are going to be efficient and understand the importance of resource allocation? I'm not seeing any of that government. We could really do with it.

Ground shaking in terror .
Maybe he's asking them to go head to head on why they should be chancellor.

Nuthatch26 · 20/07/2026 17:41

Lou Haigh has now gone in.

Perhaps Harry Hill is there to referee

Wasn't see the one who Starmer fired for some kind of corruption?

Haha.

Sorry for laughing, I can't take them seriously anymore. Its so ridiculous that any of them are running the country.

Yes, convicted for fraud no less

She has a conviction for fraud daring back to 2014. She pleaded guilty and was given a conditional discharge.

Fraud conviction.

Its astonishing burnham is bringing her back

Yes, and she was actually convicted, no less. Farage was complaining about this on Triggernometry the other night in relation to people challenging him about his donations, and tbh I think a lot of people will think he has a point.

Rumours that she will be Chancellor of the duchy of lancaster.

If true, that is madness and probably the first negative press for Burnham on day 1.

Politicians really do not understand the public, at all

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/07/2026 18:00

She was his campaign manager so he’s rewarding her.

A sleazy appointment for a sleazy women then.

Healey chancellor!

DancingFerret · 20/07/2026 18:18

Cautiously, I think that's a positive.

Healey chancellor!

Good

EasternStandard · 20/07/2026 18:19

I’m happier with him over Miliband or Mahmood

He showed integrity on resigning.

Nuthatch26 · 20/07/2026 18:19

EasternStandard · 20/07/2026 18:16

Healey chancellor!

Good news!

Binnyforthewin · 20/07/2026 18:20

Wow - are going to see a serious cut on welfare to get the defence spending needed. So will Mahmood stay as Home Secretary for the immigration push.

Nuthatch26 · 20/07/2026 18:21

Hopefully Mahmood is staying in the Home Office.

But where is he putting Ed? Gulp
