Oh. I was rather hoping that he'd be a slight improvement at least. He seems to have a bit of gumption about him.

 

Starmer has his own skeletons in the cupboard with regard to war crimes and genocide don't forget.

 

 

Aye, I would have hoped so too, but given that he's clearly 'one of them' I think that anything other than a progressive left-wing alliance (which Labour is far from) will be the end of the UK.

Can't say I did. Been busy with work. 
Is Israel still bombing Palestine?

So 

You missed the Iranian people being massacred for trying to get out from under the cosh of the Islamists government. 
You have nothing to say about elections being cancelled here in the UK, nor the fact the current PM blocks a potential rival in proper Stalinist fashion. 
Instead you put up a famous picture from WW2 and try to link the two, you know Mark if I actually give a shit I’d think your faux anger is very very selectively expressed lad. 

All them years of yearning for a Labour government 😂😂😂👍

 

 

Eighteen months in power and Labour have managed 14 U-turns. At this point it’s less “government” and more driving test retake.

Now we’ve got Chagos. A £35 billion idea so bad it collapsed under the weight of someone finally reading the paperwork. Starmer didn’t reverse because of principle he reversed because Washington tapped the sign and said “absolutely not.”

This was sold as statesmanship. It turned out to be a geopolitical car crash caused by Google Docs diplomacy and vibes based lawmaking. 

Labour discovered too late that treaties still exist, allies still notice, and consequences are not optional.

And the pattern is perfect.

Abroad: weaken Britain, confuse allies, apologise profusely, retreat quietly.

At home: nanny state energy, lecture everyone, tax relentlessly, then wonder why nobody’s clapping.

Veterans? Lectured.

Workers? Taxed.

Businesses? Squeezed.

Migrants? Fast-tracked.

Democracy? “We’ll circle back to that.”

Labour don’t govern they experiment, then act surprised when reality pushes back. Every policy feels like it was stress tested exclusively by Momentum before being unleashed on the country.

Fourteen U-turns in eighteen months isn’t adaptability. It’s chronic indecision with a press office.

The only consistent thing about this government is that nothing they announce survives contact with the real world.

Allies of Greater Manchester mayor say No 10 has ‘chosen factionalism’ as decision leads to a furious...

So cancelling elections where it’s looking like a defeat is on the cards, stop a rival from possibly challenging for the leadership in the long term, locking people up for having the wrong opinion  🤔🤔

Can someone remind me who are the fascists I keep hearing about from the leftards. 

No big deal, not like Labour were going to win anyway!

Surely it's going to get to the point that it is becoming the tory party under a different shade of blue. Seeing as though the conservatives were kicked into touch last time round may be people won't see it as a good thing, not refreshing as once promised but more the same acrid pool. Mind you labour are leaving the door open

That's the way it's looking in terms of where Reform are heading. 

 

Hopefully the Greens won't go the same way and take on Labour MPs.

 

The politicians who have been in charge have clearly been incompetent, why would anyone give them another chance?

The people who are defecting to Reform are the very same people who handled the pandemic, which you loved as much as anyone else.

Do you want to bet me 500 quid that Reform, should they get in at next elections will not lose the following one?
