She's done a top job. Got rid of Bozo and the Tories, mission acheived.
Well done that woman, she deserves a damehood :).

Well apart from stopping winter fuel payments for most pensioners; kow-towing to the Unions by caving in to their (as yet unfinished) pay demands; hiding during a global computer crisis; rearranging artwork in No 10 (to avoid it putting the shits up them); cancelling some arms contracts to Israel; making ineffectual demands of Israel which have been ignored; partying in Ibiza and New York; engaging a £68k pa photographer at public expense to boost image; upsetting their own MPs and resulting in Rosie Duffield's scathing resignation and Sue Gray's departure; tanking in the polls; kitting themselves (and spouses) out in over one hundred grand's worth of freebee clothes, specs, accessories, Swifty and footy tickets; jailing truck loads of British people but done nothing about boat loads of illegal immigrants (over 900 arrived today); releasing unmonitored criminals early; constantly delivering a message of doom and gloom depressing the population; undermining consumer and business confidence; worrying people about a painful budget that will hurt everyone (the disabled, unwell and aged included); taking a trip to Italy to ask how to deal with boat people. Pronounced that sending 'em to Albania (is not the same as sending 'em to Rwanda and) may be a goer; blaming the Tories for everything both now and forever, a tactic likely to carry through right up to and until the Tories or Reform kick them out; spending £33m in Wales on a massively unpopular 20mph speed limit scheme then passing the buck to local Councils to resolve with the admission that Labour didn't think the £33m scheme through; claiming their heating allowances courtesy of the public (and not means-tested against their salary of at least £90k + expenses) whilst old people choose to eat or heat; looking up the meaning of hypocrisy and evidently not understanding it; hurtfully referring to 'hostages' as 'sausages' in a cringingly boring conference speech; ceding sovereignty of the Chagos Islands emboldening challenge to other British territories such as the Falklands and Gibraltar; enjoying the use of a freebee exclusive London apartment; starmering through questioning about policy, they have to be fair, discovered a £22bn black hole quicker than many celebrated astronomers.

Government of the Country is too much for Labour; they should stick to Parish Councils. In just 3 months of tenure, the respect for the Government is in tatters and the forum seems very quiet in embarrassment :D

I honestly hope they get their act together for all our sakes.

So many here wanted change. Short changed is what you got. Hope you're happy.

Kursk raises some valid points the Labour government haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory so far

But how exactly did they hide during the crowdstrike issue ? What would you have had them do? Send MP’s out to boot machines into safe mode, delete the offending file and then restart them again ?

Ms Gray said she didn't want to become a "distraction" and will now serve as the Prime Minister's envoy for the regions and nations.
Well don’t demand a salary bigger than the PM and perhaps you won’t be.

The BBC has been told that Sue Gray asked for and was given a salary of £170,000 - £3,000 more than the PM and more than any cabinet minister – or her Conservative predecessor.

Laughable, been in 5 minutes and they’re a shambles……..makes you consider that a communist dictatorship may be a viable alternative.

She didn’t do that, the Tories and the electorate did that.


The fact you cheerlead a crony civil servant, supposed to be impartial, turned out to be a Labour shill, then demanded a salary bigger than the leader of the nation………..which she got.

And she’s your poster girl?

Yes, I’m sure the common man can get behind that………
