If Starmer didn’t think that Lammy wasn’t “serious” he wouldn’t have made him shadow Foreign Secretary would he?

So is David Lammy is taking over from Diane Abbott as the new hate target?

It makes perfect sense if we are to grow the economy. We really need to get past this Little Englander mentality and rejoin the real world.

Rupert Lowe is now an MP. 😳

I have just seen Jeremy Hunt on TV, now he has left no 11, longer than I saw him during the election campaign.

Happy with that. The Tories got the kicking they so richly deserved. Many of the odious MPs have been kicked out but sadly some still remain. Delighted for the LibDems. Good to see them as a parliamentary force again. Pleased too for the Greens. Gutted that they changed the boundaries here and the constituency we were moved from booted out Tory Damian Collins. We have been moved to a safer Tory seat and they held on. Good to see Ashford kick out Damian Green and that has gone red too. Odd to hear many say that the massive majority is not a good thing when it apparently was ok when the Tories had one. As said earlier, it makes Starmer’s life easier in terms of internal issues. It was so good to see Liz Truss get the sack, along with Rees-Mogg. For the Tories this was text book how not to get yourselves re-elected. With their record it was no surprise but what was a surprise is how bad their campaign was. Ok, Sunak was never going to be the strongest leader but the missteps from the announcement of the election in the pouring rain onwards were amateurish and incompetent, just like the way they had governed. Starmer has done what he needed to do. Hopefully, now that he has the keys to no 10, he will cast off the Gareth Southgate approach and we will see a bolder, more radical approach to repairing the damage of the last 14 years. Happy days 🥳🥂🍾

I went to offer the lady my driving licence but she said, “It’s alright, I recognise you from last time.” Was anyone approached by an exit poller and did you tell them the truth?

Who’s the contrary one now? 😂

Erm…maybe because he voted for Brexit and pays tax here?

It’s ok, all of the people I know hate Farage too 😉

It reminds of the tactics of the Chinese troops in the Korean War where they just kept throwing numbers at the enemy. It’s just attrition and something that should have disappeared with the 20th century.

If only he had freedom of movement 🤔

Every cloud…

Not before time. Hopefully more pressure will be put on the Hamas leaders to seek a peaceful settlement. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0vewvp14zdo.amp The same in Israel… https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/6/22/all-of-the-rats-in-the-knesset-mass-anti-war-protest-in-israel

The country needs it Batman. Even you 😘

Just goes to show that RM isn’t that rigid in the way he operates.

Here’s hoping that the good people of Clacton see sense today and make it 8 times unlucky for the self proclaimed man/amphibian of the people, “Nige.” 🐸 🤞

Job done. I don’t think I have been so happy to see a cross in the box since Terry Paine used to pick out the head of Ron Davies! Hopefully now, after 14 miserable years, we will have a government that works for ordinary people and not just the rich and selfish. We met some neighbours of ours coming out of the polling station who are in their 90’s and said for the first time they didn’t know who to vote for going in. I suspect that there will be many more like them today but hope and pray most of them remember what the last 14 years have been like when making their decision.

My bad 🇨🇳

They are pretty much all shit arguments aren’t they?

Let’s not forget that “Nige” is a man of the people though. We all hang around with characters like him, don’t we?

I don’t think that the current party could be labelled left either, they aren’t far off becoming LibDems. I agree that the Tories are where they are mainly because they have done such a godawful job of governance. Unfortunately I can’t find it, but there is a very good article explaining how the Tories have put their party and its needs first and country second constantly since Cameron made the disastrous decision to placate the right of the party by holding the EU referendum. It will make a pleasant change to have a PM who puts country before party.

Do you think that reading your fanboy posts about Nigel Farage and Margaret Thatcher is any better? You are going to be ruled by a bunch of pinkos for the next 5 years at least Duckie. I feel for you, I really do.
