That Siddiq criminal: the Starmer Gang aren't going to desert her: they're going to get her back into a Cabinet post as soon as they think the heats dies down on her.
The niece of a corrupt billionaire Bangladeshi Prime Minister who "didn't know who paid for" her own £650k apartment because she "thought it was free" - magicked out of thin air, presumably, and not at all for bending the ear of people in power in this country to do her bent aunties a favour.
They cant even buy their own clothes this lot without getting bungs.
FFS, imagine being conned into voting for that lot. You'd be embarrassed, I'd imagine.

Waits for 'daughter of very powerful billionaire'.

Labour's AI Action Plan - a gift to the far right | Computer Weekly
Critical computing expert Dan McQuillan argues that, on top of the clear social and environmental harms associated with the technology, Labour's vapid fixation on AI-led growth in lieu of real change will further enable the far right. Instead, he proposes an alternative strategy of 'decomputing'.
Maybe you're right Dave, and the Tories deserved another 5 years, just like you wanted to happen and voted to bring about (including a likely Reform junior coalition partner). Imagine what a state the nation would be in after spending the rest of the '20s suffering that in general, let alone another round or two of a Tory/Reform government infighting over the ECHR, leading to various plots and coups and resulting in a leadership dream team of PM Braverman and Deputy Farage doing Trump's bidding across the Atlantic. That is what YOUR vote may have led to if enough other numpties were as ill-informed and short-sighted as you. So actually nah, I'm still feeling excellent about ushering in a Labour government instead of all that drama. We've sufferered enough.
My dream political environment doesn't involve ushering in fascism. Yours is free to do so, but it's to your utmost shame.

Some of us have loftier ambitions than seeing a right wing neo-liberal 'Labour' Party in power doing Tory stuff while the Tories get their act together.
We're called 'socialists'.
Bg fan of how posting incessantly on GOT is key to seeing these ambitions to fruition!
ONWARDS COMRADE!

Not embarrassed at all think its good thing Labour dont judge. Rather pious and unrealistic and more embarrassing if we began judging each other by who what our families were about even sillier becoming responsible for their actions. We literally would not have had Tony Benn by your standards. That's how far out funny your posistion is....

It's not judging anyone on what family they were born into, it's NOT ignoring the source of someone's material circumstances. That flat in London could only have been bought from the proceeds of her billionaire auntie...a corrupt politician...the one she accompanied to trading events all over the world.
It's pitiful that anyone would want to defend this woman Siddiq in an effort to deflect criticism for the right wing 'Labour' government she is ensconced in the hierarchy of.
I find the last 6 months quite eye opening in regards to labour. Especially in the context of the Tories that came before them.
Many of the budget things seemed to tackle middle and upper class in the country rather than working class and the media presentation of that has been wholly negative , although I am sure there is things I do not understand that may be negative in the budget. I did read through the budget at the time and nothing stood out as affecting the poorer people. Then there was the story of the gifts which seemed a joke given not too long ago the previous government were giving contracts to friends.
I am sure there is a lot I do not know on the subject but honestly the last 7 months of labour government hasn't struck me as bad in any way (as I believe the Tories purposely handed over a tanked economy for this purpose) but media control by the rich have painted a picture that they are failing.
I say all that whilst also believing starmer is not the right leader of the party.

They've not been great. They presented themselves as competent and they've been anything but, lurching from one own goal to the next. Their communication and messaging have been dreadful.
The Tory media, in which I include the socials, are like a pack of sharks though, they'll batter them over anything, regardless of facts.
Which is of course why you voted for a man who dresses up as a cat and licks womens feet on national television.
Who also didn`t even have the grace to turn up on results day, following a spanking in the polls.
By your friends shall ye be known and all that.
I see loads more vitriol aimed at Starmer than was given to any of his predecessors. Doubt many people could even say what he’s done wrong.
Tony Benn wasn't a socialist, only thing he achieved was years of division in the left and concord.
What an error that was, ground breaking global communications network or a supersonic jet plane primarily used for transatlantic travel.
A trillion dollar error and that is down playing the figure.
pretty though.
