The very worst Prime Minister, of the very worst Government. Starmer has disgraced the office, and history will remember him as such. Resign.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

Set a treadmill at 21kph ( max most will go to) and try to run for 30 seconds on it. That's what he did for 1 hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds. The peak of human physical achievement. Insane, absolutely insane.
A moment we thought we would never see 🤯 Sabastian Sawe has become the first person to run a marathon in under two hours in race conditions.

This has been an unbelievable 24 hours even by this government's chaotic standards. Only yesterday Boris Johnson was forcing his MPs to rip up the rules on standards in public life. It’s a truly damning indictment of this Prime Minister and the corrupt government he leads.

Sir Olly Robbins came over as calm, intelligent, thoughtful, principled, thorough, decent and honest. And a lot more impressive than any of our current Govt. Can we get rid of Starmer and make him Prime Minister?

Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have broken the law and repeatedly lied to the British public. They must both resign. The Conservatives are totally unfit to govern. Britain deserves better.

BREAKING NEWS: “Starmer denies knowing he was Prime Minister” Sir Kier Starmer has revealed that no one told him until last Tuesday he won the 2024 election and had become PM. He told Beth Rigby “I was totally kept in the dark by my officials. I’m really angry about it.”

“The Prime Minister lied. It’s now in the national interest he goes.” Keir Starmer’s words…not ours. We’re only holding him to the standards he set himself.

Keir Starmer, 2020: "When they made mistakes, I carried the can. I never turn on my staff and you should never turn on your staff." Olly Robbins has now been sacked. Morgan McSweeney resigned. Tim Allan resigned. Sir Chris Wormald resigned. Starmer should be the one resigning.

Mandelson was appointed on 20 December 2024. Olly Robbins became Perm Sec of the Foreign Office on 8 January 2025. PM should have asked about vetting before the announcement. If he was lied to, why is that Robbins’ fault? Vetting happens BEFORE an appt. Robbins wasn’t there.

If we simply rename the English Channel “Keir Starmer’s desk” then nothing will fucking cross it

Honesty and integrity matter. Today’s humiliating climb-down showed that the Conservatives know they can no longer defend the indefensible. It has never been more clear that Boris Johnson's authority is shot and he is unable to lead. Britain deserves better.

The Prime Minister appointed Peter Mandelson before the vetting had been completed, vetting Mandelson failed. Starmer then said full due process was followed. THAT is misleading Parliament. I'm only holding him to the same standards to which he’s held previous Prime Ministers - that if they mislead parliament, they should resign. In these dangerous times, Britain cannot afford to have a Prime Minister who the country doesn't trust. Starmer has betrayed our national security. He should go.

So…are we really expected to believe that FCDO officials just stood by as the Prime Minister repeatedly perjured himself to the Commons over the last six months - and not a word was said?

It is preposterous for Starmer to claim he did not know Mandelson failed security vetting. If the Prime Minister doesn’t know what’s happening in his own office, he shouldn’t be in charge of our country. He should go.
PM was not aware Lord Mandelson failed security vetting for US ambassador job until this week, UK government says bbc.in/41D0z8g
Community note
The government's claim that the PM was unaware of Lord Mandelson's vetting failure contradicts Starmer's February statement that security vetting "gave [Mandelson] clearance for the role." bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

So apart from trying to give away the Chagos islands. Recognising Palestine. 13 ministerial resignations. Showing full confidence in Morgan McSweeney, Peter Mandelson, Sue Gray and Lord Ali. Blaming the far right for an island of strangers. 16 Policy U turns and rising. Having no operable warships. Not smashing the gangs. Approving a huge Chinese embassy in London. Spending 23 seconds laying a wreath in Southport only to rush back to a drinks party. Appointing an anti Muslim hostility tsar. Raising income tax. Raising inheritance tax. Raising national insurance. Raising capital gains tax, Raising council tax. Raising value added tax. Raising mansion tax. Increasing welfare spending and the minimum wage whilst freezing tax allowances. Scrapping jury trials. The only boat he has stopped is HMS dragon from crossing the channel. What has Starmer really achieved apart from breakfast clubs and the decay of our country?

This….
Just to be clear... Lord Mandelson, a proven liar, failed security vetting to be the UK's most senior diplomat trusted with vital state and security secrets - but no one at the Foreign Office bothered to tell the PM or anyone else at Number 10 about it. Do they seriously expect us to believe this claptrap? Just how dumb do they think we are?! The Prime Minister is either a liar or a fool. Either way, he has to resign.
