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."

I remember thinking and perhaps posting that Healey was AB’s best chance. I feel heard 😁

Healey chancellor!

Wow surprised!

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

Yes. Has a conviction for fraud. You really couldn't make it up. Why should we put up with this?

Interested in this thread?

Healey chancellor!

Oooh I won 20 quid and could have made a lot more!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/07/2026 18:27

Think it’s a good decision. Good for SM to stay in Home Office if she is.

Good news!

But who is moving to defence?
He was the best man for defence so fearful now who gets it.
last thing we need is someone without a military operational backround taking time to learn the role.

Al Carns I hope.

It might be Al Carns

The hard part is getting the money so having Healey as Chancellor will help.

Scotiasdarling · 20/07/2026 18:30

Al Carns I hope.

Would be great

Is Jarvis any good in the role?

Burnham apparently pissed off with Jarvis after the sneaky £5bn black hole left for him to fill at the next budget.

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.

This would be better than I had hoped.

Maybe he will talk from the left and govern from the centre? Distract everyone with drivel about rough sleepers while tackling the big problems- Could we dare to dream?

EasternStandard · 20/07/2026 18:38
