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.

There's two things that are imminently desirable for me: Labour and Sadiq Khan out.

Absolutely and apparently Antifa doesn't exist. I don't know why I engage tbh. Their world is something different.

I know. I've been on here over twenty years now. NEVER have I seen the lefties complain about their side wearing masks and balaclavas. They are such effing hypocrites.
I went to a few Iran protests. Nobody in thr Iran crowd was wearing face coverings etc. Antifa were there, wearing full disguises, chanting Antifa, holding Antifa signs etc. Now the left suddenly condemn face coverings so they have to pretend that Antifa don't exist as an organised group. You have to laugh or you'll cry.

Haha thanks for that explanation. I know they are outrageously hypocritical, that's for sure.

Yep 🙏

I don't live in London, but I wouldn't want Khan here aftet his comments (or lack of) on grooming gangs. He makes me want to vomit.

I understand his desire for diversity and inclusion but I don't like his approach to it. It always seems so showman like. Nothing Labour represents will ever get me on side.

@LuckyHazelFox hi! We know each other, have talked a fair bit on here. If you think of Irene Adler in Sherlock saying “ that’s the thing about a disguise, it’s always something of a self portrait” you might remember the name… I don’t know. Some people are very clever about these things. I just watched the Enola Holmes 2 and completely missed something that was right under my nose, in spite of the writer trying to draw attention to it 😂 and Enola’s mum saying “sometimes you miss things that are right under your nose”…

I’m trying not to post, but I was on that thread last night, stupidly.

even the local police and crime commissioner has complained about how it was handled, by the government I mean.

God yes that Susan Hall clip. Male arrogance and lack of care for women and girls in a nutshell.

I see you've also had your share of mansplaining elsewhere. You have more patience than I.

As an aside Kemi looks ace at LFW.

Kemi in the DT 👏 👏

Burnham has no idea what he’s doing… and it’s starting to show

They are a shitshow, you're right. Quite a few on this thread have been hit hard.

She's singled and constantly pressed because she knows her stuff. Sorry @EasternStandard don't mean to talk about you. You are the epitome of class and resilience in posting skills.

Oops epitome!!

She does. Rocking it. 😎

Have to say, I would kill for Kemi's wardrobe. Bloody love how she dresses. I'll probably get attacked again now for praising her appearance. 😂

I think she's attractive in an understated way. Maggie would approve.

Ik she’s looking fantastic, love her wardrobe.

She has got a functional and simplistically elegant wardrobe.

SapphireCasino · 23/09/2026 20:51

As I’ve not been paying attention, I had to look that up about London fashion week…

She used to say she got her clothes from a particular boutique in her constituency…. Not sure which is correct. I think the pieces that look more individual that actually are probably from that boutique. I just wanted to share that because you know, I like to give a shout out to Essex!

Nuthatch26 · 23/09/2026 20:52

Oh ffs Labour.

Shabana Mahmood has ordered an urgent review of border security after 21 people reached a beach near Dover without being intercepted, just 24 hours after another boat landed near Folkestone.

I have to say, I thought they got a really strange level of criticism on here. It’s as if a lot of people have a very outdated idea of what they actually do. I do remember a huge amount of misinformation as well.
