Over 2 million people have signed a petition calling for a general election. Where were those cunts when the Tories were ruining the country?
What pisses me off is you know most of them will be the same people who voted for Brexit and then argued that a second referendum would be unethical.
The UK loves an empty promise with no delivery but when you tell them it will get harder before getting better they throw their toys out of the pram. I’m now much more worried about Reformers. They’re already absorbing the Tory party and preparing to ruin the country as Trump already is with his. Let’s hope labour can deliver before the next election.
Be real though, by the end of the parliament the government will have built a fraction of the houses they promised. They’re significantly behind their own schedule. It’ll take something radical to shake up the current dynamic in this regard, but Keir is literally incapable of radical thinking.
To be fair new houses are being built at a phenomenal rate but this is the ball breaker that politicians have only just found out.
PEOPLE CAN’T AFFORD THEM!!!
Conversely it took 14yrs for the UK to be sick of the Tories, Labour speed ran that into a matter of weeks
There is a lot of money being spent keeping people angry with governments and immigrants rather than wealth inequality
The instant that Labour came into power basically every mainstream newspaper decided they were the worst thing ever and had to go.
It doesn’t matter what they do. Nothing will be good enough.
Don’t get me wrong they’ve been far from perfect but be serious for a moment and look at the alternatives.
But as I’ve said in other topics already: Your future Reform government has already been chosen for you. I hope we’re all ready for just how badly that’s going to go.
2 million trees need to be planted and not build more fucking houses
The level of angst on both the Tory and Labour side makes this conversation pointless. Its just angry people yelling at each other. Both teams employ mental gymnastics to justify their view points, although admittedly Tory supporters seem to have the upper hand here… or dementia.
Then there’s a Reform guy posting legally safe racist news articles in the background.
And the LibDem supporters only exist in theory.
Cope meme from the anti-Corbyn centrists who promised us that Starmer would turn left when in power.
The Tories don’t believe in public services, though.
“The Anti-Orange Party had 14 years and didn’t buy any oranges. The Let’s Import More Oranges Party have been in power for a year, give them a break!”
Both of these parties are shit, so is Reform. no matter who you vote for in Britain your gonna get a shit priminister
I wouldn’t mind the current government if they were simply ineffective, but this lot are actively doing harm while pretending to be centrist/left leaning.
It’s the deception part I don’t like. Stop lying and put the blue tie on.
But but but but Farage says he’ll fix everything and make us all rich and bring back chucklevision and give me a reacharound so I want a general election NOW
The inaction of one party doesn’t justify the inaction of another.
Starmers Labour are reading out of the handbook if Camerons Tory party they – wont build any homes anyway, they’ll just keep taking money away from those who need it as they have been since they won the election.
I remember some pissed old fuckwit being interviewed on TV, in Rochdale, about brexit. He was adamant that we should leave Europe as “they just take money”. I walked past the same spot, about a week ago, and happened to stop to tie my shoe lace. Right under my foot is an engraved stone plaque that says “the redevelopment of this shopping area was funded by the EU”!
Labour has been weak on everything they promised has capitulated and given away so much. I am so disappointed they did not come in and actually do drastic things
They seem to be pussy footing around trying not to upset any one or offended any one and failing to do anything
They are just like the Dems in America. Had power did nothing and then republicans come in and do everything and more with zero care.
Labour are being so weak they are walking into election defeat next general election and because they are weak we will ultimately end up with something awful being in power that will devastate the UK. It’s Brexit all over again where they know how bad it is yet still go ahead with it.
Saying they did nothing for 14 years doesn’t feel right. If they did nothing, the country would be the same as it was when they took over. It got aggressively worse in their reign.
When Labour allow women and children to be raped and killed*
It’s wild how quickly the media narrative flipped on Labour the second they took power, like they weren’t given a decade of free passes to wreck the place. Between the Tory loyalists suddenly pretending to care about accountability and Reform waiting in the wings like vultures, it’s exhausting trying to find any optimism in UK politics right now. Even if Labour’s been shaky, the alternatives are objectively worse – but good luck getting that nuance across to people who think “change” means swapping one disaster for another. Buckle up, because this next chapter’s gonna be rough no matter who’s holding the pen.
I dunno they threw up a pretty big estate next to where I live 1000+ houses and flats back in 2018 to 2021, the biggest problem is there’s no infrastructure, no schools or GP centers or dentists. Throwing that many people into an already full capacity area doesn’t really help things.
“Did nothing” is kind. They fucked the entire country
We all expect the Tories to be corrupt, malicious and incompetent whenever they’re in power.
Labour are held to much higher standards because it’s taken for granted they’ll behave with at least a basic level of decency.
to be fair (I am not a tory supporter at all) Labour has been in power for over a year now. Its not 2 weeks. Have they made any kind of start on building more houses?
They were in power for more than a decade before the Tories and could have built a tonne of houses then too.
Dumb boomers fall for this shit every time.
this but also including “all they do is give free houses to the immy gants”
The thing that is really pissing people off is that Labour have come in and completely ignored the huge issues currently suffocating our quality of life in UK.
Like:
Opportunistic price gouging (sorry, the *‘cost of living crisis*) that has doubled the cost of everything. This is apparently just an act of god to Starmer and not something they can address.
Foreign corporations and shareholders owning our infrastructure and running it into the ground- particularly water companies filling our waterways with shit and making us pay handsomely for it. Starmer: “Let’s give them even more money!”
The absolute lack of Police presence in most areas of the country means that you’re on your own if you’ve been the victim of certain crimes (and that list gets ever longer). This is largely down to the cuts the tories made under Cameron and May. Starmer’s answer: “Let’s have more austerity!”
The refusal to address the fact that incredibly wealthy corporations and individuals who use our workforce and infrastructure are paying relatively fuck all tax. Starmer, like Blair before him, seems to think billionaires – mostly American – have some kind of magical power and, without them, the country will dissolve into penury and chaos.
Out of control migration is a problem and it doesn’t make someone ‘right wing’ or ‘racist’ to admit this. In fact, mass importing of misogyny and fundamentalist religious outlooks should alarm my fellow leftists, right?
If Labour ignores all this then we will have a Reform government and if people think things are bad now, wait until Farage and the other clowns that surround him get into number 10.
Nothing? They did so much! Most of it destructive asset stripping line the pockets of their owners and their schoolchums
Mate they’ve been in about a year and things are far worse than they were, even under Rich-y Sunak, this meme is utter cope
Both Labour and Tory are both just as bad as each other.
No, I’m definitely not voting for Reform either.
I just don’t understand what we, as the public, can do to get proper change?!
Cutting disability benefits to discriminate against young people and the mentally ill with the stated aim of kicking as many disabled people off benefits and standing by silently at the largest and most rabidly hostile wave of anti-civil rights sentiment in modern times (anti-trans lobby) are two of the most evil and abhorrent things a government could do. Not to mention their rampant authoritarianism, saying they’ll proscribe a protest group for spray painting a plane. I voted for Labour under Corbyn because I thought they stood up for the working class – they cared about issues that impact people’s lives like poverty and living standards and wages and healthcare. I was even a party member, and a very active one at that. Tell you what, I’ll never make that mistake again! It’s clear me now that Labour are so obviously just managers for the rigged status quo, they don’t care what happens to ordinary people at all. So long as the status quo prevails, so long as the system keeps ticking over, no human cost is too great – and the respectable men in suits stand ready with hammers watching for any signs of dissent. Let Farage get in for all I care, I would rather see the country fall to pieces than cast my vote for Labour again. They are dead to me as a party.
Within weeks people who were claiming to be left wing were just spewing out right wing talking points. There are some very real things to criticise Labour over but there are also things they have been doing well. Anytime I point out one of the things they have actually got right I get both left wing and right wing people claiming I’m just someone who thinks labour can do no wrong. The reactions I get when I point out that I have never voted for them are hilarious. People don’t seem to be capable of thinking for themselves anymore or acknowledging and kind of.grey areas. Labour have to be 100% terrible and there are no other options than Labour or Reform.
Exactly this!
We don’t need 2 million homes, we need to stop immigration.
If they didnt let unlimited amouts of people into the country we wouldnt need a Million homes every 2 weeks.
In my local area there are two hotels that became housing for immigrants. The local incumbent Tory ran on “Labour won’t shut these down”
Funny enough they were still hotels when Labour were in last.
Regardless on your opinions about immigration this was an issue that had happened under the 14 years of Tory leadership
So in essence their campaign was “they won’t solve a problem we made”
They’re all incompetent. The warning signs were there for all parties to see.
The new regulatory regime under HSE and BSR will kill the only industry we have left.
If the plan was to destroy the UK economy, then great job. It’s nearly complete
