We spent 100 billion so the Strait of Hormuz that has been opened is now reopened. I don't care what political party you're on, this is retarded.

This is not news this Peston opinion piece, remember they way he and Laura K were literally wetting themselves over Johnson how they pushed him down our throats and look how that turned out . So no thanks Peston I am not interested in you pushing your opinion

Once again, no small boat crossing last week. Labour promised we would sort out the mess left by the Tories and secure our borders. There is more to do, but we are getting to grips with the problem. Promise made. Promise being delivered. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

No. It’s about judgment, wisdom, tenacity, respect, intuition, integrity, honesty, patience, hard work, decency, public service These are qualities rarely found in a person But once in a generation one person comes along He’s here right now He’s Sir Keir Starmer

This by election didn’t need to happen, we already had a Labour MP. These posts from all of you are so disingenuous. Honestly if you oust Starmer I will never vote for Labour again.

This trap started within minutes of the GE exit poll dropping, and Labour MPs have fallen straight into it, despite it being completely obvious to anyone who was paying attention. Idiots.

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist. At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

‘Half-baked’ is a lot more baked than any previous leaders have managed. Rather than battling, why not recognise the good and be helpful. One thing people can’t stand about politicians is that they don’t work together for the common good. Let’s not add to that frustration.

Rachel Burden, presenter on BBC 5 Live Breakfast, said regarding Starmer announcing the social media ban - isn't it just about legacy before he is "booted out of the party - I mean No 10". The once proud BBC reduced to this gutter level of journalism

⏯️ THE DAILY DEEP DIVE If Andy Burnham wins Makerfield, what happens next? He is campaigning to defeat Reform. Yet almost every conversation about Makerfield seems to end with the same question: How quickly will he move against Keir Starmer? That tells us this is no ordinary by-election. If Burnham wins on Thursday, Labour will have defeated Reform in one of the most politically important constituencies in Britain. That should be celebrated. It would show that Reform can be beaten. It would show that voters in northern working-class communities have not abandoned Labour forever. It would show that a campaign built around local credibility, public services, community and hope can still defeat the politics of anger. But within minutes, the media will try to transform a Labour victory into a Labour civil war. Every television interview will become: “Andy, when will you challenge Keir Starmer?” Every Labour MP will be asked: “Are you with Starmer or Burnham?” Every government announcement will be judged not on whether it helps the country, but on whether it strengthens one Labour faction against another. And Nigel Farage will be delighted. Because Reform could lose the election and still benefit from the aftermath. Labour would have done the difficult work of defeating Reform, only to spend the following weeks attacking itself. That would be a serious mistake. Burnham winning Makerfield would not automatically make him Labour leader. It would not automatically make him Prime Minister. And it would certainly not solve every problem facing the government. To challenge Keir Starmer, Burnham would first need substantial support from Labour MPs. Then he would need to win a leadership contest. Then, even if he became Prime Minister, he would inherit exactly the same difficult country. And Reform would be waiting outside every difficult decision with a microphone and a flag. Burnham may communicate differently. He may connect more naturally with some northern and working-class voters. He may favour greater public investment, stronger regional government and a more interventionist economic programme. But warmth is not a fiscal policy. Popularity does not remove the national debt. A new leader does not make the difficult choices disappear. The danger is that Labour starts treating a change of personality as a substitute for the long, difficult work of repairing Britain. Keir Starmer inherited an enormous mess. He has tried to restore seriousness, stability and discipline after years of Conservative chaos. That work should not be casually discarded because the political weather has become difficult. At the same time, Burnham’s possible victory should teach the Labour leadership something important. People do not only need competent government. They need to feel that government sees them. They need language that connects policy to their lives. They need hope as well as spreadsheets. They need to hear Labour speak about their streets, their families, their wages, their safety and their communities in a way that feels human. My prediction is that Burnham will become the unofficial alternative Prime Minister from the moment he enters Parliament. The pressure on Starmer will become enormous. And I will say something uncomfortable. If Labour MPs abandon a sitting Labour Prime Minister simply because they are frightened about their own seats, they do not deserve to govern. Government cannot become a permanent exercise in personal survival. They were elected to serve the country, support the programme Labour put before voters, and help repair the damage left by fourteen years of Conservative rule. If they place their careers above the party, the government and the country, they are not showing leadership. They are showing that, when politics became difficult, their first instinct was to save themselves. But Labour should take a breath. The first lesson of a Burnham victory should not be: “Let us remove another Prime Minister.” It should be: “Labour has just shown that Reform can be defeated.” Keir Starmer offers seriousness, discipline and national leadership. Andy Burnham offers emotional connection, local credibility and a powerful northern voice. The intelligent answer should be to combine those strengths. Not immediately force them into a political knife fight for the entertainment of Westminster. Because Labour’s real opponent is not another Labour politician. If Burnham uses a Labour victory as the starting gun for a personal leadership campaign, he risks damaging the very government he claims he wants to save. A prolonged civil war could destroy Labour’s authority, paralyse the government and bring an early general election increasingly close. That is exactly what Reform is waiting for. Labour would be running Reform’s media campaign for free. A Burnham victory should strengthen Labour. It should not become the opening scene of Labour destroying itself. Defeat Reform first. Govern seriously. Repair Britain. Then let Labour’s future be decided calmly, democratically and in the interests of the country—not according to the demands of the Westminster outrage machine. #LessNoiseMoreDelivery #LessNoiseMoreDelivery

Another day where there is no Tory MP but an unelected Tory peer, Rachel McLean who deservedly lost her seat at the last election. Another reason to abolish the House of Lords. #PoliticsLive

Wonderful speech from Sir Keir Starmer The likes of Burnham or Farage could only dream of making a speech that good. I am so glad we have him in charge 🌹 #TenYearKeir #IStandWithStarmer

I am simply not prepared to be a bystander when the safety and happiness of our children are at stake. We will ban social media access for under 16s, and give children their childhoods back. Read more about it here: keirstarmer.substack.com/p/g…
