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.

I haven't seen a poll for ages have things changed much?

I think the latest is the MRP one which shows Labour would need help from the other left parties to form a government.

No PMs @Nuthatch26 I'm fine @EasternStandard 🙂

The Spectator keeps me sane. No wonder Douglas Murray often features.

The Spectator podcast today is advertising a really good subscription offer -12 issues for £12 and a £20 Amazon voucher. But when I go to the website it doesn’t work /repeatedly just frozen screen…

Interested in this thread?

If Labour drop the mansion tax threshold to £1.5m, it will mainly impact Labour controlled areas. London Labour MPs not happy. 🍿

Let's see if Labour retain their lead after that. Burnham did say he wanted to make things fairer. 🍿 indeed.

Holborn and St Pancras is number 8 on the list with 1 in 5 homes worth £1.5m. When is the by election again? 😂

It might be prime champagne socialist area. Or maybe they’ll fold. Hard to know!

Someone will have to have a quiet word with our Andy and explain to him that Labour voters are no longer working class northerners.

You all have got this badly wrong.

Dropping the mansion tax to 1.5 million is only going to help Labour there, because, as we all know their supporters are ecstatic at the prospect of paying more tax.

Maybe this week we will have a Tiktok on whether Dom Perignon is preferable to Bollinger? Proper man of the Holborn people.

Sky News just reporting Burnham has declared there will be no early election; the next one will be in 2029.

We shall see...

I just don’t believe anything Burnham says.

He’ll say whatever suits him at the time. That’s one way, among many, that you can tell the Labour left is irredeemably stupid: they actually buy his bullshit and believe what comes out of his mouth.

When will we say that enough is enough?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/606959d0bbab91c9

A migrant boat made a 999 call - pretending they were sinking but giving no location - as a decoy so that they could land illegally without being intercepted. Coastguards and other ships in the area spent hours searching for them.

It's sickening. They use our cultural values - our deep decency, and the way our society protects and helps the vulnerable - against us. They show no care at all for the danger they completely unnecessarily put others into: people who came to their help!

I agree with the article linked earlier. We need to exit all treaties on asylum right now. Then we need to change our process so that anyone who enters the UK illegally will be deported as soon as possible, and an absolute ban on them ever getting ILR or becoming a citizen.

Our society is being utterly destroyed.

So well said and a relief to be able to say that here. I want out of international law and any other mechanism stopping us from having this forced on us. Yes, we ARE being invaded. I just know Labour haven't got the motivation or loyalty to Britain to make it happen.

How can the most Corrupt , useless farcical Government, where even their own propaganda videos, look like something out of a 1980s comedy sketch, be on course to win Up to 250 seats at an Election. 2 years for throwing a Plastic Bottle while a man gets bailed for Paedophilia offences and allowed to life next to a Playground. A Government who the Office Of Budget Responsibility, say are due to borrow around £15 Billion this month and It turns out to be £18 Billion. Government Gilts at 6% not 4.3 % of Liz Truss 6% yet they are apparently polling at 27% ! which in 3 party politics is a lead ! For the Love of god, I cant take it any longer !

redange · Yesterday 01:18

Live next to a Playground, the Government using the Courts to Jail Political or 'Nuisances'. Danny Tommo is a Pillock but that does not mean you should be locked or treated in a totally unjustified or unfair manner . So how can you be sent to Prison on Remand if as the Magistrate said would you like the case seen at Magistrate Court. This, given as a Magistrate can not send anyone for Prison for more than 18 months and since, nobody is to be locked up for Sentences of less than 12 Months this is very dangerous Political Sentencing! It is not about whether, we like a person or not it is abuse of the law by Socialist indoctrinated judicial people, siding with Government Ideological political musings !

I have missed any reporting on this. Does anyone have a link?

We don’t want political prisoners.
