O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

It’s certainly not looking good at all, the only thing I want is what’s good for the country regardless of who is in power. Nobody has yet raised Keirman Mao’s two tier system that was his first balls up to split and divide people. You really trust and believe in these people?

I've never once said I trust or believe in them.

I just see them as the lesser of two evils.

Great to see that Sir Steer Calmer's thinking about the sausages though tbf.

Unbelievable! Needs a link posting.

It reminds me of the time when the US Hard of Hearing Special Forces raided the zoo in Tehran in 1981 and shot all the Gorillas and released all the Ostriches.

A lot of veggies and vegans will regret giving him their vote!

Unless he means Quorn sausages of course.

As far I’m aware the vast majority of or even all gifts and donations were formally declared through the correct channels. Which doesn’t necessarily make them right, but puts them on a very different scale to anything the Tories got up to, and still do I assume.

Deciding that ‘they’re all the same’ is exactly the sort of impression that the right wing press and particularly the Tory infested BBC want people to take away. ‘They’re all the same’ is also a sentiment popular on here and elsewhere amongst people who I’m very confident were desperate to vote Tory or more likely Reform at the election. Labour will never do anything right in their eyes because they aren’t racist/xenophobic enough. They hold the party they don’t vote for to much higher standards than the parties that they do.

Keir Starmer has had a season ticket at Arsenal for years, he can’t now use it. Boris Johnson’s donor gave him more money for wallpaper in one transaction than Starmer has received in total AND Johnson then tried to keep it secret. I’m be happy to get rid of all personal political gifts and donations. I’m pretty sure Farage and Tory politicians will lose out far more than Labour’s.

That all being said, Labour have to get far smarter at what they accept and from whom, especially when they bring in policies like getting rid of the WFA and keeping the 2 child benefit limit. Getting rid of the Tory Simon Case might also be a good idea. Unfortunately they’ve got to accept that double standards are very much de rigeur in British politics.

‘The Tories and their defenders in the press want to drag everything down to their miserable ****ing level. They want you to think this government is as bad as theirs, as incompetent as theirs, as rife with cronyism as theirs .... seriously don't ****ing fall for it.’

Are you suggesting that posters on here who may vote reform are racist and xenophobic ?

It's very trendy to beat anyone who is not left leaning with that stick.

Think this sums up this Labour government

Looks like he's had his CHIPolatas, caught on film telling porkies

[Lullapie]

Oh dear - at least it isn't as bad a sit was with the Tories

I hope there's no pork in them!
