The Labour Government

[flook]

These revelations remind me more and more of the joke about the Barber who is doing Community Service.
The first day a florist has his hair cut and the barber refuses payment as he is doing community service. The next day the barber finds a bunch of flowers and a thank you card.
The next day a policeman had his hair cut, barber refuses payment again, next day a box of doughnuts on his doorstep.
The next day a Member of Parliament had his hair cut, barber explains again and refuses payment.
The following day there is a queue of a dozen Members of Parliament waiting for a free haircut.
That folks is the fundamental difference between the ordinary citizens of our country and the people who run our country unfortunately.

I had such high hopes, you'd think at my age I'd realise it doesn't change. :-(

Exactly this

I haven't voted for 20+ years because they're all the same. Nothing I've seen yet from Starmer and his minions has even begun to hint it might be different this time.

Are you on the left? I'm genuinely interested

We should do a poll

Could and should last two terms before they are turfed out but arrogance , incompetence and mirroring the last years of a pathetic Conservative merry go round might mean they last only one term if that.

A quick spiral to political death of its own making.

Much like the pathetic Labour Government we have to put up with over here in Oz , if it wasn't for an opposition lacking principle and common sense with the odd exception when it comes to energy policy they would have been turfed out already if an election was held less than 2 years in office of this hopeless bunch of hypocrites full of economic and social buffoons only interested in their own self preservation as we fall off a fiscal cliff.

I laugh at Aphex who is in the BNP but is left wing.

He says stuff that even Nick Griffin would roll his eye at.

A number of people said this “they’re all the same” before the election and were roundly shouted down on here. Evidence so far is those shouting down are now arguing about different shades of the same rather than true behavioural deviations from the previous government.

it's been a long long time since there was any altruism amongst the top echelons of any political party of influence. A long long time.

You missed the long list they’ve already achieved in a couple months then ?

I care more about what they're delivering for the country than if they got a new pair of glasses or a seat at a Taylor Swift concert.

because that's the easy and thick position, just slag off, moan and say 'they're all the same'' ... media will always find negatives and MPs will make mistakes, that's life - but it doesn't mean 'they're all the same' - thats a tired cliche that will always be said regardless who's in charge and how they're doing.
