Many thanks to Nick Ferrari for managing to interview me without once asking about the £5 million gift, what I spent it on, what the crypto billionaire got in return, how I bought two houses for cash or whether I was given £1 million to throw an election.

As a longstanding @LabourParty member I echo the sentiments below. I take exception to what some #labourmps are doing, and offer you @Keir_Starmer my full support and future vote.
May 16
.@Keir_Starmer, I understand that you may be considering your position this weekend. I would just like to say as a voter that your rightful position is as our PM and I hope that is how it will stay.

Right so Keir Starmer has reduced immigration by over 70%, kept us out of the Iran War, massively boosted defence spending, reduced NHS waiting times, and started growing the economy again.
But we should sack him off for Burnham in under 2 years because Manchester has £2 buses?

This isn’t even debatable. Sadly the main reason people hate Starmer is because they’ve been told to.
He hasn’t been perfect but he hasn’t killed thousands of people, or taken us into an illegal war, or wiped billions off our economy etc etc etc

Starmer is a better prime minister than Boris Johnson

The fuckwits on the Labour back benches are virtually handing the keys of No10 to Farage and Reform.
I’m am beyond disgusted with every single one of them.
Traitorous bastards they are, short-sighted and spineless.

Do you think Sir Keir Starmer needs to urgently bring in Leveson 2 to sort out the media madness?🤔

I waited 14yrs for a Labour government & these backbenchers have decided to throw it back in my face by calling on the only Labour leader to win an election since 2005 to resign. I’m disgusted with each and every single one of them including my own MP, @Tom4EWAS

Absolutely every word of this analysis of how @Keir_Starmer has been treated, is spot on! @UKLabour should calm down and instigate Levenson II at the first opportunity!

The British media is doing everything it can to make this mendacious, corrupt, incompetent, lazy, security risk the PM. Ask yourselves why? Why do they want that so badly, who benefits? It's not going to be the British people.
Follow the money, always follow the money.

Labour is going to lose a lot of dedicated Party Members if Sir Keir Starmer goes via all of these disingenuous snakes spitting their poison and shit stirring. Effing Farage will be deliriously happy. Starmer is my last Labour PM and I'll haunt the bastards who bring him down. 🤬

Please repost if you agree that it would be extremely unwise for Labour to remove Keir Starmer right now

It’s truly horrible to see what is happening to @Keir_Starmer today. He has made some mistakes it’s true, but there is no superhero coming. Whoever succeeds him will face exactly the same problems: 14 years of Tories leaving everything broken and Brexit leaving no money! 1/2

A hostile MSM that rarely reports Govt successes and don’t really want us to have a @UKLabour government.They want to install Reform to push the billionaires agenda! I hope the Labour MPs pushing him out are happy when they lose their seats to Reform and are looking for a job 2/2

I am at a loss to understand why the government has done nothing to reform @ofcom which is not fit for purpose and has allowed Farage UK to have its own TV news channel; nothing to push back on the relentless bias and untruthfulness of most of our press; and nothing to respond to the capture of the BBC political coverage by the Gibb brigade.
