Dysfunction, rats, rubbish is all that Labour offer you

We’ve seen the chaos that is Labour-run Wales after decades of misrule, reported here, over and over. Labour-run UK will soon be revealed for the same. Today, in the Guardian, we see how 1.6 million people have now suffered from 40 years of Labour corruption and incompetence:

Reform and the Tories are rubbing their hands with glee as residents once again pay the price for the disarray of the city’s Labour council. The failure of Birmingham’s leaders to get to grips with the situation is a symptom of the council’s deeper disarray. As far as dysfunctional families go, Birmingham Labour is up there with the House of Windsor. Consumed by infighting and intermittent grabs for power from within its ranks, the group often seems so focused on internal strife that the business of running the city comes second. You don’t need to take my word for it. In May 2023, a Labour council improvement board (CIB) report found the group was “divided” with “briefing against colleagues” commonplace.

How the Glasgow Labour/GMB rubbish strikes were incubated by the media:

‘Thriving!’ English student gives informed opinion on Glasgow and must have wondered where Sarwar’s piles of rubbish are

How a 3% rise in Sheffield stopped a strike but 5.8% in Glasgow didn’t?

  1. A quick google on ‘COP26 rats’ gives another great example of the proxy war against Scotland. As I recall one of the unions (GMB?) accepted a pay deal at that time in England but rejected the same in Scotland specifically to ensure the rubbish was there during COP 26 to damage Scotland’s image. The usual suspects, Sarwar et all were on hand to tour the mess and amplify the ‘story’.

    I doubt if BBC Scotland will praise this nor will Baillie have a good for it having spoken to many people who have been treated there nothing but praise.

    I also note that Lisa Nandy now is in favour of the monarchy changed her mind and people should have the choice to say who rules them but not us poor plebs in Scotland,bloody hypocrite like the rest of her kind.

  3. Birmingham Rat Problem ? Time to call in the professionals !

    Sarwar and his side-kick , GMB’s Chis Mitchell in his custom-made Rat costume , are the dynamic duo who will get this sorted . Or are they only permitted to highlight SNP councils ? Surely not !

    1. ” Sarwar and his side-kick , GMB’s Chis Mitchell in his custom-made Rat costume ” – I understood it was a tall inflatable deployed, observed by two with inflated egos, platformed by another of similar disposition…. ?

    No.

    Whenever a Labour msp/MP/spokesperson opens their flapper, I almost always hear a whining sound.

    They also do a great line in bluster
