There’s this Italian song featuring the lyrics “cambiano i ministri ma non la minestra”. The ministers change but the soup doesn’t.
Until it does, people won’t be any happier.
Hardly surprising. Red Tories are just as shit as blue Tories. Now the purple Tories are waiting in the wings like an even shitter tribute band.
McSweeney be like: just one more step to the right, bro, just one more. I promise it’ll be different this time!!
Wild that funnily enough, a Labour government doing a vast string of un-Labour things seems to have disappointed Labour voters.
Budget shortfall? Look at what Atlee had to deal with and how his approach revitalised the country. We used to beat up fascists, now they are getting elected as M.P.s Starmer is sabotaging the UK like he’s a puppet for a foreign government. It is the one you can’t criticise without being accused of religious bigotry.
Maybe calling voters paedophiles some more will help?
People want comforting lies over hard truths. They want immediate fixes which will worsen the overall situation over tough decisions which will play out over time.
Oh f**k, Reform are going win because we have people here stupid enough to vote for them
Absolute shit show. It’s sort of hilarious they have no alternative to Starmer even starting to show up.
WEALTH TAX WEALTH TAX.
The trouble with Labour is they inherited a clusterfuck of issues, most of them Tory.
Austerity meant we failed to grow or recover from the previous recession, Brexit meant we shrank in trading ability, and Covid left us with a legacy of ill people and a fucking big lending bill.
All the while inequality rises to the point it’s a fundamental structural issue with our society, rather than some dinner table ideological musing.
And Starmer’s response is….. sensiblism. Tweak the dials here and there, placate, spread yourself thinly across all spectrums.
It doesn’t work. We don’t need a revolution, or some Farage jackboots burning asylum hotels, or conveniently ignoring the thermometers and reservoir levels. But every now and again you need to be bold, have vision and take a risk on jolting us out of our managed decline.
This will be disappointing news for them, as it will mean there are some people they haven’t managed to alienate or anger yet.
Sky news? Talking shite about Labour? Naaaa… do people really believe polls anymore? They’ve failed to predict many an election. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like a lot of the policies, but they’re still doing better than the Tories f me. Takes more than a year to make progress on 14 years of absolute ruin. Honestly, I think they’re just stalling for time to justify higher taxes. Perhaps with an actual budget they’ll be able to better? Tax wealth not wages!
Well, they said they were going to do the unpopular stuff first so no surprise.
I’m left wondering if they will ever get to the popular stuff.
Deep breath–nah, only kidding!
3000 people every day signing on to an ever more bloated benefits system. I wish they had kept the nerve to actually cut that. They should have pushed it through with some funding towards mental health.
This is the problem with the global elite, they’ve bought and paid for all the parties. Democracy is a sham, vote for who you like, they don’t care, they own all the horses in the race.
When expectations run high disappointment goes deep. The Cuntservatives made such a mess of peoples lives while lining their pockets that Labour HAD to be better. Labour didn’t even have to actually DO anything other than open the files and commence a process of speaking truth first and fixes second. Labour however have pretty much done what Labour has a tendency to do which is shoot themselves in the foot before ramming it so far up their own arse it’s in their mouth.
Not surprising, they don’t want to rebuild fast enough. They don’t want to fix anything that matters and seem obsessed with pointless shit.
I’m not looking forward to the racists winning the vote. Farage will be the worst of them all.
No shit.. they haven’t taken strong enough steps on many domestic policy issues. Majority is pointless
Well they told millions of people they are like jimmy saville because they care about their rights. How did they expect that to go down?
Well they’re running on almost identical policy, so it’s not a big shock
Letting in and housing immigrants and restricting the internet has consequences it seems.
Election time!!!! Only joking I don’t give a fuck who’s running this shithole. Soon as I can afford a dinghy I’m off to Afghanistan.
Just waiting for Reform to solve this rotting, bloated corpse of a country to be revived
Really easy to be an approved government right now, just take strong steps to fix illegal immigration and approval goes through roof
Not a surprise surely? They are doing all kinds of insane crap nobody wants
If only it was entirely obvious what is upsetting voters.
So there are still some voters who like tax rises, being called pedophiles, and all our issues continuing?
Absolutely wild that abandoning the people who might vote for you in favour of the people who never would vote for you ends up making you unpopular
Yeh cos they’re not addressing any of the problems of the people they supposedly represent, instead it’s tory lite bs…tax the ultra wealthy and fix the affordability crisis!
That’s what happens when you campaign on the promise of change and then build a cabinet of boot licking morons, and nothing eventually happens after the majority of the nation got dragged through the mud because of the toff wankers.
And now we’re gunnah end up getting bent over a barrel cause of Farage.
