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.

Defending ourselves from attacks is very expensive.

Not defending ourselves from attacks is even more expensive.

I like it too. The war in Ukraine has totally changed the landscape of what our defences need to be capable of.

Great to see Badenoch's thought leadership. She regularly comes up with fresh ideas before the other parties have even understood the problem that needs to be solved.

She's at the top of her game at present.

Love this. It's so true. If only this government could learn the value of money.

Good to see that Kemi has got the Labour lot rattled again. She's done an excellent job of putting the spotlight on defence as Labour kick the can down the road again.

Yep, top of the leader board and good to go.

Yes good idea. Don't forget to use a different name to your usual, just to be extra cowardly.

Zing!

Nuthatch26 · 06/10/2026 18:23

Its so pathetic to slither over here to goad because they think they've found a chink in Kemi's armour.

Why do you talk like you have just come out of one and don't understand who regular people communicate then?

It definitely isn't me that is being ridiculous on this thread

Nope, no echo chambers here thank goodness. I like to think for myself. My talking is fine too thanks. I suppose your perception could be being clouded by your very obvious prejudice.

Ah so you agree that she made a clown of herself. No one is slithering or goading, just stating the blatantly obvious (to most).

I don’t think you’ve found anything.

No, we can’t afford it now because social security is more important than national security.

Nuthatch26 · 06/10/2026 18:06

Yes true. Labour don't give a fuck about defence or our servicemen and women.

But the Conservatives did cut the Army from 140000 to 102000 service personnel

Ereshkigalangcleg · 06/10/2026 18:42

But even if Kemi has made a clown of herself, it doesn’t stop Andy Burnham being a massively insincere tit who won’t be able to run the country though, does it? This isn’t the Kemi fan club thread, it’s the Labour is shit thread.

EasternStandard · 06/10/2026 18:42

What’s with the posts making this thread like the other Burnham / Labour threads?

I haven't a clue what your ethnicity is and in any case it is totally irrelevant. Haven't a clue what you are trying to imply. Prejudice in assuming I must be Labour if I dare to criticise the great Badenoch. Nothing more nothing less.

Not a Starnham fan girl but the Badenoch ones certainly get rattled very easily.

Neverstopwondering · 06/10/2026 18:58

It seems I am being prejudice against the middle aged white man of something

Someone make it make sense

For starters I may not be strictly white but I am married to a middle aged white man, who is by the way an atheist

People really do just post anything they think will throw muck at someone

Either that or has done a search in me and knows my deepest darkness secret that I am want for it....wait for it.....JEWISH. Therefore obvious a pianist and as Greens have told everyone zios are racist blah blah blah

Give me strength to deal with such people

It’s just a thread for those who think Labour’s not working. It’s clear in the title and op.

The rest of mn is for the Burnham stuff.

Don't think you understand even a tiny bit how prejudice works because if you did you would not try calling someone like me prejudice

I also don't for even a fleeting second think that was what you were talking about but nice save
