Labour voters like to talk about the Tories rather than talk about the dreadful start the Labour government has made.  100 days of a Labour government isn't being celebrated by Labour voters. 

 

On the contrary, I'm glad your mob were kicked out of office and I'm glad we've got a Labour Government, and frankly given the absolute carcrash that we've inherited from your lot, you've got a nerve to try and gloat.

Just listening to an interesting podcast on that very subject, on the options open to the new government: £2.77 trillion debt your lot left.

Anyway if you want to bitch about something Labour's done recently, have a chew on this:

Labour SACKS all Tory-appointed trade advisors - including top Brexiteer (thelondoneconomic.com)

They have five years in charge love.

First priority of a government is to maintain order - nipped the post Southport riots in the bud,

 

More than most governments have achieved in the first couple of months, especially given the summer recess, and conference season.

Were they paid advisors, the article doesn't mention it?

Daniel Hannan is just a bloke who has been against the EU his entire life. A professional politician, he is not an expert in business or export/import.

There is no reason why they need crediting with that - they merely used existing laws, or rather the police and courts did.

You enjoy podcasts? Nice one.    

 

This one puts some flesh on the bones of "absolute carcrash that we've inherited".

Why is Sir Keir Starmer obsessed about removing paintings from 10 Downing Street? The latest to be removed are historic portraits of Elizabeth I, Sir Walter Raleigh and William Gladstone.
