And here's me thinking i will just pop down my local monkey shop and buy one.

That’ll fix everything.

I didn’t think Labour we’re capable of committing to anything. Labstain Lexit

Abstract....

So johnmcdonnellMP will have to give up jeremycorbyn then?

But Official_HUFC has had me for almost 20 years....

How am I supposed to get this grand piano down the stairs now then?

And idiots are keeping them as pets NOW why, exactly?

Has somebody told Cummings he's not allowed to keep Boris anymore?

Some of us think mistreating animals and keeping them in unsuitable conditions is one of the biggest issues of our time

This will need primatery legislation. terriblepun

This is another reason why Corbyn is unfit to become PM😡 At least it makes a change from him bleating on and on about ‘austerity’ who cares!? Brexit is more important stopbrexit 🇪🇺❤️

Whilst Brexit cages a nation...

I love monkey protection but, like, NOTHING more pressing for them to commit to

Liebour wooing swing voters 🙄😴

Did the owls complain about the monkeys?

Because they would probably vote for corbyn

Oh thank GOD. We've got a political party concentrating on the real issues. Rest easy, citizens.

Its STILL legal? Wtf?

Glad Labour have a clear set of priorities right now. It's not as if anything else happening.

Well that’s me off the fence.

Labour, with their finger on the pulse of the UK. Right now, I can honestly say I don't give a toss about pet monkeys with brexit looming.

That is the end of Labour MPs then

What about the government will they be rehabbed to monkey world

PrimeMatesPod

Is this sponsored by P G Tips? Not so much the “hand of Israel” anyway.

And they should also ban experiments on them

Birds next

I suppose the proposal was made by TitaniaMcGrath?

“Fly, my pretties, fly!”

How about a ban on electing them as councillors ?

Labour getting on with the day job.... Except they are in opposition and UK is facing worst economic and Constitutional crisis since the English civil war..... And they are talking Monkeys

'Blow to Corbyn as Pippi Longstocking cancels party membership in monkey protest.'

Does that mean the house of commons goes if they get in!

A disgusting practice. They have their teeth removed so they don't bite, and they get heart disease they wouldn't get in the wild due to idiots feeding them all sorts of nonsense. They all need a good slapping.

Good to see the party leadership has its priorities straight.

Perhaps they should stop using them as MPs first.

It’s great to see UKLabour having a clear strategy on the key issues of the day

Such a scary thing, that picture. Feel so sad for those monkeys shriveling in a corner like Labour shriveling from any sort of stance on Brexit.

Lung cancer is a leading cause of death amongst middle-aged dogs. We need legislation to ban the use of dog pipes.

Labour facing down the hard hitting and important issues of our time that effect....ohh....about 0.0001% of the population in the UK?! All 23 of the monkey owning public aren’t labour voters anymore!

I'm cool with this if it means we can have unicorns on the NHS instead

About bloody time...

That’s Monkey World closed then

Hands off our Lemurs, though!

That means that the Conservatives must allow Johnson to run free in Kent instead of trapping him in No 10. There he can spew gibberish all that he wants to and a few might even understand him.

why they just ban dog and cats as well. Idiots

A ban on halal meat would have a far greater impact on animal welfare than this token gesture.

How am I going to get this piano upstairs?

PHEW. At least I get to keep Barry the Bonobo. notamonkey

The exoticpettrade in all species should banned. Animals are not ours to possess. They do not belong with us. bornfree

🙄 You'll be telling me you're legislating to ban spanking them too, next

Late but yes! Pristine conservation areas with 🇬🇧🍁BBC documentaries. *Zoo orphaned, injured/handicapped. Yep.

They have to take everything don’t they

I'm horrified this even happens! 😥

Labour, right at the heart of the issues that are important right here, right now. The number of communities I've seen ruined by formerly domesticated, feral monkeys, I can't even count.

Who do you know living without having a Living Soul? Why Did God Say, 'Let Us Make Man In Our Image...? Visit Today

There's tens of thousands of humans in Britain either living in accomodation that's frankly not much better than a cage, or who are homeless entirely. I'd maybe focus on that rather than the pet monkeys.

That'll sort Brexit out

Priorities.

That should SWING the voters

Well yes agree, but ... more pressing matters maybe?

Obviously after brexit bananas and peanuts will be in short supply the both being imported, great humanitarian gesture

This photo breaks my heart. 😭

What will happen to my monkey butler, Sir Winston Chimperee in this horrifying dystopian future?

BorisJohnson going to have to find a new cabinet then.

But what will Boris Johnson do without a Leader of the House of Commons? :O

Disgusting. Who's going to roll cigarettes for my grandad then? A dog? Don't make me laugh.

Will they also ban them from standing for Parliament? We have a bunch of monkeys running the country now.

😉🤣😁

hh

But who will iron my shirts?

So they're not gonna remain neutral on this?

Solving the big problems one wasted attempt at a time

Well.....

Should be banned anyway
