Labour isn't Working - Thread 42

[Nuthatch26]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 💙☕️

We're gearing up for the Burnham budget. 😬

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Then - respectfully, genuinely - can I suggest that you start reading a newspaper/watching the news?

@BIWI
Obviously you can post on any thread you want to, but there’s an informal arrangement with the Starmer/Burnham thread that we leave each other alone.
There are plenty of other political threads in which both sides can discuss or argue or whatever.

No not new people. Just posters who don't like being AI scraped so name change.

Teatimony to the quality of the posters and their views.

I like to call it Zeitgeist.

Oh @Nuthatch26 now I have an ear worm. "We're poor little sheep that have lost their way"

That's going to be in my head for hours 😂😂j

You really want to attempt a thread derail?

Sorry 😂

🐑

Why would you and the other "lots of new people" have a sudden, specific interest in posting on a long running series of threads about Labour's failings?

Your tone is combative and I dont believe you're posting in good faith.

It's also nothing new.

Yeah it’s kind of bad manners…

Labour are doing rather well in the polls these days, certainly the people I speak to have been mightily impressed with Andy Burnham and his leadership since taking office. Would this thread title and the contents herein perhaps qualify as 'disinformation' methinks 🤔

Oh wow, rude AND patronising. Great combo 👌

The first time I heard of Thompson was from reports about Gosport, not MN.

Are you going to report me Debs? 😂

Good for you.

Anything to say about Labour? Ya know, the thread topic???

Anyone who is an apologist for Thompson and his followers has definitely lost their way. I am pretty sure even Kemi has condemned them.

Yes. My first post said something about Labour! But then you derailed the thread because I used a term you strongly object to.

Have you tried discussing this on any other threads?

Why not try the bake off thread if you want to discuss Tommo? Or perhaps the doghouse board. Its just as relevant there.

Oh I think I'll return when the farmer has rounded up his flock. Until then here's an ear worm for y'all to harmonise

They are busy failing, as they usually do.
Burnham is a one term PM.

Not even a full term. Half, if that.

No idea what that is about and I wouldn't say they are ignoring it, they are adding to it. I am disgusted at what the Labour party looks like these days. No wonder the country is more split than ever and extremists on left and right are blatantly feeling empowered.

I don't remember the left being like this when I was one of them.
Perhaps I just couldn't see it at the time.

I would refer my non-learned non-friend to the post by our OP at 9.12 yesterday. If that is Labour doing 'rather well' I'm a kipper.

I've always been very open with @Nuthatch26 and posters on this thread that I often read them. I generally don't comment as it hasn't felt appropriate. But on this occasion it did feel so.

Three in ten high-net-worth individuals are considering leaving Britain amid declining confidence in the economy and the prospect of further tax rises, according to new research.

Analysis by Saltus, a wealth management company, found that 8 per cent of high-net-worth individuals were actively exploring a permanent exit from the UK, while a further 22 per cent said they may consider it amid speculation of tax rises in the autumn budget.

Wealthy individuals have been increasingly shifting their tax residency abroad after a number of changes introduced by the Labour government, including taxing the global income of foreigners who live in the UK but have a permanent address elsewhere. The government has also scrapped inheritance tax breaks for overseas trusts.
