The Labour Government

[City Hobgoblin]

Worse than Dominic Arab?

I didn't neglect my duties during the evacuation of Afghanistan and go surfboarding because the beach was closed.

Worse than James Cleverly?

Replaced with a failed PM who had to be made a Lord just to take the job.

Worse than Boris Johnson?

Who had to be told by his diplomats not to mumble offensive colonial era literature in Indian places of worship and met Russian Oligarchs without his minders?

Worse than Liz Truss....?

I'm sure he knows the difference between The Black Sea and The Baltic, unlike Truss

Just been said on the news the Health Sec has been on the phone to the BMA to set up talks next week aiming to resolve the strikes. Thats what happens when you elect a Government rather than a 3 ring circus

 

[jazzy]

In the role he has been asked to do? no

As shadow foreign secretary

 

[bluethrunthru]

He should write his autobiography

I don't know if you have ever had a cat but they are not set up to hold a pen or type. Could dictate I suppose but it would just read "meeeoooww meow meowww purr purrrrr yawn " lol

 

[mosssideblue]

As shadow foreign secretary

Let's see how he does playing for real

 

[west didsblue]

As shadow foreign secretary

If he manages to not help get a British citizen falsely imprisoned in Iran for espionage for 5 years then he’ll be doing better than one of his predecessors who went on to be PM.

Does anything feel different today?

Does anything feel different today?

Yes. Less hate. More hope.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Yes. Less hate. More hope.

I thought I was imagining it.

I thought I was imagining it.

No it's real. It was the same in 1997. Light ratter than shade.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Does anything feel different today?

To me it does. I’m feeling nice and relaxed.

Don't fool yourself. The idiots at each extreme are still hurling wanky memes at each other on twitter.

Last night on here was horrific, posters calling for female MP's to be punched in the throat, and getting likes for it too.

The odd wishing death on other females and you have a rather chilled out election night.

Definitely some strange undertones to this one, particularly with the rise of Reform. If you're the next leader of the Tories, you'd presumably want to bring back the Reform voters. And Farage will know that.

Someone like Braverman will probably want to get the two parties as close as possible, even up to a merger. But they could also try to steal Reform's thunder by moving even further to the right but ignoring Reform. That may mean some more traditional, one-nation Tories could desert them.

On the other hand, Labour could also do something sensible about immigration, possibly by setting up processing centres in France. That would mean anyone trying to avoid using one, and using small boats, could automatically be classed as an illegal, and dealt with accordingly. That could significantly dilute the immigration issue and that's seemingly all that Reform have to offer.

I think the important thing is for Starmer to make everyone feel a bit better off and the country seem better off quite quickly. If he does this reform and the more right wing elements in the conservative party will just run out of fuel for their fire. No easy task as Starmer is starting with a broken economy.

Libertarians no doubt imposing liberalism on us all ;-)

That's why I don't do twitter. I would end up a murderer.

 

[domalino]

It’s the tiny stuff like this which Labour will fix. And I think over 5 years they’ll all add up to make the country a better place than it is now.

You don't have to sadly. There are a plethora of bell ends posting twitter things on here in lieu of being able to articulate their own thoughts

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

And rightly so as this is one of the / the most interesting set of results in any GE we’ve had. So many intriguing outcomes.

It is intriguing because I could never understand why Labour wouldn’t call out for Gaza when we have so many Muslims in our country, they have lost seats IMO because of Gaza

A plethora of bell ends.

Okay.
