Oh dear, another Labour bashing thread.  Some unhappy bunnies out there with very short memories about the last government.

Sadly the Labour home goals and rather irrelevant Tory party play into the hands of Farage.

I think the problem is Labour  are reminding everyone of the awful Tory behaviour by behaving in exactly the same way - they promised they would be different but have been anything but and yes all this is doing is playing into the hands of Farage. Rayner has created a massive mess for Starmer and the party and I think his reshuffle is not necessarily for the benefit of the country but his political longevity - the real infighting within Labour is about to start now Rayner has gone.

For everyone's sake (whether you support them or not) Labour have got to get a grip - it's been one disaster after another and I cannot help but think that things are going to get really difficult for them around the budget as there is going to be a lot of very disgruntled "working people" out there.

Farage is just sitting there on the sidelines watching Labour fall apart and rubbing his hands with glee...very, very scary.

Guess the same could be said about short memories and the last few labour governments.

Ultimately the grass is always greener... 

Ok list Labour Vs Tory sleaze.  I expect Tories will win (ie more scandals).

well they'd best pull their socks up as Reform are hot on their heels - and getting caught with their pants down is ridiculously stupid. The electorate do not take kindly to thieving and greedy politicians.

Not good as a politician but as a nation most of us are greedy, Thatcher exploited that, and anyone who avoids tax is a thief by your broad definition. I'll be the first to hand myself in having occasionally paid cash in hand for jobs   i expect as a teenager doing casual work in the summer mist of the adults were signing on

Sorry @malumbu do your own investigation into that 

I'm old enough to remember things like the mass unemployment in the late 70s (down to labour) along with inflation running high, 4 day weeks and so on. So its not just about sleaze but wrecking the economy.

So you are also old enough to remember the Heath Out protest by the TUC when unemployment hit 1 million?

We all have selective memories, this thread is no different.

Please give me a list of the Labour sleaze. And compare it to the Tories. 

There are a few of you who appear to have a long term dislike of Labour, so all this is a gift.

Same can be said for the current and prior governments
