disgruntle

I’m not talking about the president’s pot-kettling insults in which he called Bolton “dumb,” a “wacko” or “a disgruntled boring fool.”

Winston’s election chances surge when he survives an assassination attempt—even though in this case it’s really a potshot taken by one of his disgruntled children.

The truth is that many members, just like Labour MPs, are disgruntled and disappointed by some of the decisions Starmer and his team have made.

Or a disgruntled independent when he assails a Democratic establishment that’s become, as he sees it, “a club of insiders who take care of each other” and mostly go along to get along.

There does seem to be a supportive cohort of disgruntled Labour MPs, particularly among the 130-strong group who rebelled over welfare reforms and forced Downing Street into a humiliating 11th-hour U-turn.
