Who thinks Labour are doing well?

[warey4life]

Yeah yeah, heard it all before.

We had plenty of sub-prime in our own system, including Northern Rock.

I'll ask again, do you think Labour was responsible for all the subprime mortgages and Lehman brothers collapsing which lead to the 2008 financial crisis?

We always end up with economic calamity when labour are in power, and there are always excuses.

In 2010 at the end of the Labour government national debt was 70% of GDP, but would have been lower if it wasn't for the financial crisis.
In 2024 after the Tory government the national debt was 100% of GDP, but would have been lower if it wasn't for the pandemic.

Labour is doing very well under its own terms of reference. Millions are paid not to work whilst those that do work are taxed to death, and the country is trillions in debt.

Because of the freeze on tax thresholds, the working person is £700 worse off, in real terms, than they were in 2021.

On the other hand, if you are on benefits, your benefits have gone up 28%, in that same time, to match inflation.

In hard times, such as we are being led to believe are coming, Labour ensures that the scrounging class is kept happy while the workers struggle.

sounds a bit selective to me ??
the only people "on benefits" who are 28% better off since 21 is pensioners like my self because off the tripple lock others on benefits most off whom are hard working often with children are far far less than 28% perhaps half that ??

unemployment benefit is quite a small amount off the benefits bill

Gordon Brown did his fair share of f-ing up with his relaxing of banking regs which paved the way for the likes of Northern Rock to offer 125% mortgages. F-ing madness.

Don’t forget he sold our Gold at an all time low!!

The man couldn’t run a bath.

And we got lots of paper in return, now worth about a quarter of its value!

One thing for sure is that Wednesdays seem to be popcorn time. PMQs has descended into a sorry farce where our “forensic” PM answers questions that haven’t been put to him

What a fool we have as a PM

I’m ashamed to be British ATM

I hope every other opposition party follows Reform's lead and starts walking out en-masse as soon as he starts evasively waffling about some other unrelated crap.

It's just got embarassing now, it needs to end. The speaker claims he can't do anything about it, so shaming and mockery is the only way left.

I do think that all the other parties should boycott PMQs

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

Starmer would like it if nobody showed up to PMQs, he'd think that was a victory.

You'd just end up with brown-nosed Labour backbenchers asking their pre-arranged questions... "Does the PM agree with me that he's a really great bloke who's doing a wonderful job?", as I pretty much heard one of them asking yesterday.

But it would send a huge message to the electorate

They've already got the message, I don't think any other government in history has blatantly hated the vast majority of the public so much. The feeling's mutual, but the public can't tell them this until 2029.

They're completely tone-deaf. If every MP bared their arse as soon as he started waffling he still wouldn't understand the problem.

That is actually true. Starmer has utter contempt for Parliament and for democracy. Blair took away a lot of Parliament's functions and gave them to unelected, and therefore unremovable, quangos and other bodies, and Starmer is simply continuing this project. The gradual removal of the powers of the Lords is part of it. It's the long March of communism through the institutions, by Labour and the unConservatives.

Didn't make them claims under the Tories, neutral my ars*

Always. Good to see the backs of the cowardly racist party. I see the downward trend continues for the deformers, bless 'em.

Turning the tables, if Farage was PM and he was being as slippery and evasive as Starmer is then I'd be concerned that the opposition were walking out while he was speaking.

We need some respect for democracy, regardless of which party you happen to cheer for. There should be standards, Starmer is just ignoring all accountability, presumably because he can't defend his record.

Perfectly valid question: What happened to smashing the gangs?
PM's response: Bla bla bla local councils, reform are rubbish (back-benchers cheer)

Utterly pathetic.
