Comedy palate cleanser. Robert Jenrick about to grandstand but reminded of his defection from one party to another this year is gold. The timing. First line great. Second line superb but crowd not recovered from the first to fully appreciate it 😊

My view is that Starmer should stay for the foreseeable future. I also think the public should decide who they’d like as PM in a general election, not some party activists who’ve got a bit excitable over someone because he did some nice things in Manchester. In short, calm down.

Labour are having a hugely successful week. It would be madness to start the chaos of a leadership contest. Every Labour MP should be celebrating these government successes and not thinking about their own egos @AngelaRayner @AndyBurnhamGM @wesstreeting 👀

If the subject of the £5m donation scandal was a member of the Cabinet, a senior SNP, Plaid or Green politician, he or she would be getting doorstepped an monstered everywhere they went. The double standards are sickening

Love the explainer. @darrenpjones is a rock star. He's got it all & he's good at his job, which he clearly loves. He could have challenged Keir Starmer if he wanted. But he didn't want to. Because he's trustworthy & his commitment to the UK & the Labour Party, is real.🌹

The Guardian: “Net migration down by three-quarters, the biggest fall in NHS waiting lists for 17 years, knife crime cut by 10%, the economy growing the fastest in the G7, rising wages, energy bills and petrol prices held down, the biggest sustained rise in defence spending since the cold war, a massive expansion of free childcare … If Keir Starmer did tub-thumping lists of Labour’s achievements in the style of Gordon Brown, he would not actually have a shortage of things to talk about.” During the two years of Labour government, following fourteen years of Tory mismanagement, there have actually been significant improvements in Britain. Why does the Tory media not report them?

Immigration makes Britain brilliant.

That’s my PM.

There is something immensely undignified about a man who wasn’t part of Labour’s landslide victory now attempting to win a by-election so that he can challenge the Prime Minister who won that landslide less than two years ago. Meanwhile government is hamstrung and the country looks on as a bystander to the chaos.

Labour is a success: 24 months of continuous growth 6 interest rate cuts UK stock market outperforming US for 1st time in 13 years 70 000 illegal immigrants deported 40% of Tory hotels closed 456 000 children out of poverty 2 largest increases ever in State Pension & more

I’m with Mary.

‘You have done a better job than any cabinet minister of telling us the story of Keir Starmer’s successes.’ As Wes Streeting resigns, Caller Martin reminds @TomSwarbrick1 of what the PM has delivered.

It’s time we faced up to the fact there is no super hero, no magic wand, no charismatic saviour coming to save the country. It’s going to be slow & steady progress under @Keir_Starmer No drama, no ego just keep going with the plan. There is no such thing as a quick fix! #Steady

If a newspaper doesn't use WESIGNATION as a headline tomorrow, I will be very disappointed

Excellent from our PM no potential ‘challenger’ can hold a candle to him How drippy have some Lab MPs become? allowed themselves to be brainwashed by the MSM, created unnecessary chaos, lost sight of what’s important & doing Reforms work for them. Grow up

Brilliant piece. @NickCohen4 is right. The current madness is just another breathless distraction by a country that simply doesn’t want to face up to its real problems. spectator.com/article/youll-…

This map shows the mood European TV detectives are in. An astute observation by @MisterABK.

Twenty years ago, Congolese man Guy Goma came into the BBC for a job interview but, in a now legendary case of mistaken identity, ended up live on the BBC News Channel. Speaking to BBC Africa, Guy explained how he managed to stay calm under the unexpected pressure of live TV.

Hey @SkyNewsBreak @BBCNews Reform have just lost their 16th newly elected Cllr. Not sure if you’ve missed it?

"I once received £5m, a further £1m, an £800k house, helicopter trips and a trip to the Maldives, and wasn't expected to do anything in return for it."
