I’ve had serious doubts about Theresa May ever since she made that comment back in 2002, calling her own Conservative party “the nasty party.” It was such a careless thing to say. It gave other political parties an easy way to attack the Conservatives, and they’ve been using that line against them for over 20 years now. It’s like Theresa handed them a weapon, and they’ve never stopped using it. Thanks, Theresa.
But now, people in Britain are starting to realize something important. There really is a “nasty party” out there, but it’s not the Conservatives like Theresa May said all those years ago. No, it’s actually the Labour Party.
Many of us saw this coming a long time ago. The signs were right in front of us. For example, Gordon Brown, when he was in charge, allowed a culture of bullying in Downing Street. He even called a voter a “bigot” once she was out of earshot. Then there’s Angela Rayner, who called her political opponents “scum.” Neil Kinnock, another Labour figure, once wished a fatal heart attack on a Tory MP named Eric Pickles. And let’s not forget how Labour’s election ads targeted Rishi Sunak’s wife, which was a low blow. On top of all that, there was clear evidence of institutional antisemitism within the party. The Equality and Human Rights Commission even found Labour responsible for unlawful harassment and discrimination.
Andrew Gwynne, a Labour MP, has recently been exposed for sending offensive messages on WhatsApp. After being caught, he tried to downplay it by saying his posts were “badly misjudged.” But it was much worse than that. In one message, he wished death on an elderly constituent who had complained about her bins. He wrote, “Dear Resident, f*** your bins.” In another message, he joked about someone being run over by a truck. He also made antisemitic remarks about an American psychologist, asking if he was part of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. And it didn’t stop there—he even made disgusting comments about his own colleagues, like Angela Rayner and Diane Abbott.
What’s even more shocking is that Gwynne wasn’t the only one involved. Another Labour MP, Oliver Ryan, was part of the same WhatsApp group. He posted messages that mocked and insulted people based on their sexuality. These aren’t just random party members—they’re high-ranking officials, people at the top of the Labour Party. It’s hard to believe how low they’ve sunk.
Since last July, things have gotten even worse for Labour. They’ve gone back on their promises, and it’s hurting a lot of people. Pensioners have had their fuel allowance taken away, which is especially harsh since many of them tend to vote Conservative. WASPI women, who’ve been fighting for fair treatment regarding their pensions, have been ignored. Farmers have been targeted, and small businesses are struggling under massive tax increases. It’s like Labour is punishing the very people they claim to represent.
And then there are the scandals. Mike Amesbury, a Labour MP, violently assaulted one of his own constituents. Louise Haigh, a Labour Minister, was fired after it was revealed she had been found guilty of fraud. Rachel Reeves, another Labour figure, was caught lying on her LinkedIn profile. It’s one thing after another.
But if you really want to understand how nasty and hateful the Labour Party can be, just look at those WhatsApp messages from Andrew Gwynne. He wasn’t just making bad jokes—he was openly wishing harm on people, insulting them, and spreading hate. And he wasn’t alone. Oliver Ryan was right there with him, posting vile messages that mocked people for who they are.
For years, Labour has acted like they’re the “good guys” in politics. They’ve enjoyed this image of being morally superior, while pointing fingers at the Conservatives. Some people might have believed it, while others probably knew it was all an act but went along with it anyway. But now, the truth is out. Voters are seeing through Labour’s act. They’re realizing that Labour isn’t any better than the Conservatives—in fact, they might be even worse.
The Conservatives have had their share of scandals too, of course. High-profile figures like Matt Hancock and Neil Parish have resigned in disgrace. They’re far from perfect. But let’s not pretend that Labour is any better. They’ve shown their true colors, and it’s not a pretty picture.
