Most on the left can understand reluctantly voting Labour.

What's annoying are the people who actively celebrated Starmer, hated on anyone who wouldn't vote Labour and now cry 'nobody could've predicted this'. A little introspection about who turned out to be right versus wrong would be nice.

He does realise now they've publicly pledged to support the amendment the government has to do SOMETHING, right? Otherwise MPs will look terrible if they reverse themselves.

God Willing not the last time I'll see Keir Starmer and "on plane to the Hague" in the same sentence.

You missed the modern solution, which is to use so much HDR it looks like a AI render on LSD.

What is slashing disability benefits and the winter fuel allowance if not 'bold'?

The ONLY way to keep the rich fed with their regular percentage returns is for them to cannibalise the rest of us.

Funnily enough also exactly what a doctor should be.

Maybe his cooking's bad and she needs something to take the taste away.

So close to realising that traditional gender roles absolutely don't mean a man "taking care of" you, but just going out to work and basically doing whatever they want.

"Hopefully when I'm found dead someone will want me" is a weird vibe.

The front fell off.
