Robert Jenrick painting out the Disney mural in asylum accommodation for unaccompanied children is mine.

That photo of the 'gathering' in the garden at number 10

The gathering in the garden at Number 10 wasn't found to be against Covid rules. It was treated as a work event - the same as Starmer's curry and beer gathering. Both gatherings had a similar number of people in attendance - 17 and 19. Did you think Starmer's curry and beer was ok? Starmer voted in favour of Covid rules in parliament.

Give it up! Was it 123 fines issued to over 80 Tories, including the PM? Whereas Keir Starmer was cleared over the meeting in Durham. It's utterly desperate that you try so relentlessly to pretend Labour behaved anything like the Tories during Covid and it's really not fooling anyone - as you'll see from the election results.

Labour were cleared of wrongdoing. The Tories amassed a huge number of fines. Why are you pretending otherwise?

To be fair not all civil servants are Tories.

Give it up!

Ok - I'm off to vote now anyway.

@LittleBrownBaby I am so sorry.💔

@Clavinova maybe read the room. All the cut and paste in the world is not going to change voting minds now, or make people forget the horrors of the last 14 years. Just leave it.

I really don't care if it broke the covid rules, it broke MY rules of how a prime minister should behave. Starmer's beer and curry night also pissed me off but he wasn't the prime minister at the time. I'm not a labour voter by the way if that's your angle. I usually vote conservative.

Has anyone got a barrel to give to Clavinova? The current one's got a massive hole of utter irrelevance scraped through the bottom of it. Show some pity here.

@LittleBrownBaby im so very sorry for all that you endured, my sincere sympathy 💐

Alltheyearround · 04/07/2024 17:01

@LittleBrownBaby I'm so sorry. What an awful, awful experience. Sending a hug. and Flowers

I've voted on way home from work today and I felt like I was looking forward,rather than back.

Am hopeful that at least some things can change for the better.

I mean they couldn't really top some of the downright wicked things that we have seen under the Tories TBH.

Labour will have a real weight of expectation on them.

I'm a reluctant Labour voter (would go Green if voting system was different).

If we get a Labour MP my goal is to write/email more often to keep him to account. I gave up with our sitting Tory MP as he is frankly speaking an utter wanker who just likes photo ops for things he didn't even contribute to achieving.

He can sod right off. And when he's sodded off he can sod off some more.

To be fair, I had left the thread on Tuesday - it was Zonder who called me back this morning.

Didn't want you to miss out. Even though your niece got her party just like Boris who didn't stick to 5 mates in a garden with social distancing but Clav and Dorries will never give in on that one.

I had quite a spring in my step. I know it's going to take time to turn the ship around but I feel cautiously optimistic.

Not forgetting of course that Boris Johnson himself was admitted to intensive care in early April 2020 - Carrie Symonds (who was in the late stages of pregnancy) and his family were not permitted to visit.

The image I will have, voting out the scum Tories, is my father waiting in A&E for 2 days, in agony, then being consigned a bed in a corridor without bed sheets. Their 14 years is over!!

GiBlues · 04/07/2024 20:43

there are so many on here that are utter heartbreaking.
my grandad fell and broke his hip on the morning of my nan’s funeral, he left the wake in an ambulance and we never saw him again. He caught covid in there and we were not allowed to be with him in his last moments, that’s something that haunts me to this day and always will.
I also think this image is horrific, and how the Conservatives were after Grenfell was deplorable.

TarantinoIsAMisogynist · 04/07/2024 20:54

This thread is incredibly moving. For me there are too many to list....

  • Grenfell and Rees-Mogg
  • Windrush
  • Covid parties
  • Jenrick and the murals
  • Food banks
  • Austerity and that heartbreaking graph showing the impact on children
  • NHS waiting lists, and the fact that a sick or injured elderly person cannot rely on an ambulance coming for them any more
  • Homelessness - the increase in which is visible every time I walk through my nearest city (with far more hidden homeless too)
  • Cameron's hubris and arrogance in calling the Brexit referendum
  • The refusal to pay our public service workers an appropriate wage, while simultaneously awarding their cronies large contracts
  • The asset-stripping - systematically shifting public money into private hands by more means than I can count
  • The absolute fucking incompetence of their economic policies

The sheer callousness and spiteful cruelty of the whole shower of them. The lack of care for the country, because they know full well that they are rich enough to be shielded from all the worst effects.
