When you have to send out the troops to explain your gaff, you are in Kemi territory.

A skills minister with absolutely zero skills.

tonybirdlondon.bsky.social•15 days ago

She had pretty good skills with claiming expenses

rcdubya.bsky.social•15 days ago

True

She’s Skills Minister BARONESS Jacqui Smith of Malvern. Unelected.

genevievexavier.bsky.social•15 days ago

jacqui smith is the skills minister for what exactly? rinsing the public purse to pay for flat screen tvs, home furnishing and pay per view porn or getting day release prisoners to paint her house and class it as "community work"? i feel the unfairness of a system that awards 93k to greedy mps.

Society isnt fair, cutting benefits, allowing billionaires to not pay taxes, forcing people into poverty. None of this is due to immigration

It costs upwards of £10,000 just for a British citizen to be able to live with their foreign-born spouse in the UK. Yes, people think the system is unfair, but what you are doing is only going to make it more unfair.

theanthonymark.bsky.social•15 days ago

Don’t forget that lots of legal immigrants pay the same taxes as citizens but have no entitlement to any of the social security those taxes pay for. They’re literally subsidising us.
How stupid do Labour think their voters are that they’re trying to group legal and illegal immigration together, eh?

davidrobbo.bsky.social•15 days ago

People are fed up of Labour acting like a Tory/Reform hybrid tribute act, and refusing to address the systemic, financial, and inequality issues that have made the UK a grim place to live and work.

Hi Jacqui, let me help you with some idiom skills, skill minister!

They are “feeling the unfairness” after years of being told by the previous government and MSM for years how austerity snd its effects are the fault of immigrants and not politicians! But you know that’s not reality @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Starmer gone full blown reform now, fuck him

ajlowton.bsky.social•15 days ago

Either it is unfair in which case explain why and change
Or it isn’t unfair. If that’s the case then explain

prettyhatmachine.bsky.social•15 days ago

We know what Starmer meant when he repeated Enoch Powell.

He meant that Labour are now racist scum like Reform.

kiersturmer.bsky.social•15 days ago

ironic that the "skills minister" has no discernible skills

rouheavymessing.bsky.social•15 days ago

One of my favourite moments of TV was when Smith got kicked out of Strictly in the first round. Glorious.

berniebaldwin.bsky.social•15 days ago

Many only think it's unfair because Labour aren't vigorously challenging the narrative from Reform and the right-wing media. In fact, on almost every issue, Labour's communications have been awful since they entered government last July.

Fuck smith. She removed police officers bonus scheme and fucked them over when she was home office minister.
