[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.

True. Its usually around 30%, but in a 5 party split, 20% plus could do it.
We're probably heading for a coalition govt next time.

Whatever one thinks about Starmer he can at least play the flute to a high standard.

If he’d been in Ukraine we might have got Danny Boy.

Can he? 😬

I’m glad I didn’t know that

God can you imagine anything worse? 🙈

Ikr what a visual

Reeves doing karaoke.

😂😂

😂@DenizenOfAisleOfShame 😂can he ?? What's the evidence

He played flute with a local orchestra as a kid, I think, and went to a conservatoire on weekends. Google should give the deets.

😬

I wonder if Burnham will be like Starmer and lament his heady days when he had high polls. Bollard tried to recreate the planes in the air poll bounce with military costume. He never got it back 😅

We might see Burnham ramp it up as his TikTok popularity goes down.

Really recommend the Political Currency summer interviews if you’ve not listened already. I previously mentioned Kemi’s episode, but Yvette Cooper is also interesting and my goodness you should listen to the Sue Grey interview. She is utterly scathing of Starmer et al in that very civil service way!

I can't be arsed either. It's all Chinese whispers in the summer break. I'll wait until they're back in office.

I guess their collective rap sheets haven't crossed her desk.

Mentally unwell sudanese assluym seeker /rejected by France managed to get here ,lay in wait for a women in Leeds and attacked her 30 times with a bottle.

Was this reported anywhere?

JFC. I felt sick reading that. That poor woman, scarred for life.
France rejected him so the CF got on a boat here instead? And we let him in, free to roam etc.
He is 'sexually uninhibited' and doesn't speak English. Now treated, housed and fed by British tax payers, probably for the rest of his life. Its sickening. 🤬

Awful, really so bad.

Surely the usual line of attack that women are in the wrong and should just accept crimes is over now?

Those complicit in accepting this are so bad

Horrific. Just Horrific. When will any government say enough is enough. When?

It’s not on the BBC news yet. Just Dolly Parton, who I love, but I do think it suits the BBC to ignore this stuff.

These are only the ones that get reported.
We don't know who these men are !
How did this man get through ?

Of course they ignore it.
Luckily people are just stopping paying the licence.
Sooner it is defunded the better.

DT is reporting that Kemi will reshuffle the shadow cabinet after summer recess/before conference in October.
Big promotion expected for Katie Lam.

Claire Coutinhou is going on maternity leave until new year. I think she'd make an excellent shadow chancellor when she returns to work.

It's being reported this am that Putin has told us to expect an attack
We don't know in what form but does anyone think it would be good to get some reassurances from our gov on this ?
We all know our protection is poor so what will they do ? Cyber attack ,poison chemical attack ?
Actual attack ?
Andy has led us directly into bstlre with Putin and whatever the rights and wrongs are I think it would be good to get some words and actions plans about this ?

It’s terrifying. I’d rather think about Dolly Parton - bloody great life, and followed her beloved h and died surrounded by people she loved and was loved by. Better than the idea world war three is stepping up a gear…
