Scottish Parliament must have an independent authoritative Presiding Officer. I suggested Alison Johnstone 5 years ago as likely choice only to be told privately that Green group decided to forego POship. At least to her credit, AJ showed independence... 1/2

@daveatherton Digby-Jones was a top man. He was ex navy, CEO of ICI, and a regular contributor to Thought for the Day. I tend to believe him.

Lord Digby-Jones was a Junior Trade Minister in the 2000s. He said you could get rid of half the civil service & not notice the difference. He added he was astonished how many were incompetent & needed sacking. Please leave, so we can adopt the American model of political appointments instead of your liberal group think nonsense.

Civil servant here. If Farage wins the next GE, he'll call us all back to the office 5 days a week. The CS will then be on the verge of collapse, as thousands of people will either retire immediately or quit, due to the removal of WFH. Cheap optics will meet reality.

"Seriously, Keir Starmer did not come up on the doorstep?" "Genuinely, sincerely, no." Haha. Bridget Phillipson laughably says that barely anyone mentioned Keir Starmer on the doorstep. Absolute WHOPPER of a lie. You can tell Trevor didn't believe a word of it 😂

@afneil @MrJWEsq Much more realistic assessment than the one from @Peston I read earlier. Mt Peston this is real journalism not sycophantic b/s

So far Starmer’s efforts to save his skin have been a classic case study in how not to save your skin: The most unpopular Labour PM in history (Starmer) calls in aid the second most unpopular Labour PM in history (Brown). With most Labour MPs despising you and willing to grant you, at most, a civilised stepping down over some months, you say you’ll be in power for a decade. Labour MPs’ worst nightmare. You commission a propaganda film of you, Brown, Rachel Reeves and Harriet Harman looking smug and self-satisfied in the Downing Street garden, complete with meaningful music. How divorced from public opinion can you be? You signal you’re fresh out of new blood (Brown? Harman?) and new ideas (getting close to the EU is the best you can come up with — hardly a game changer). You think a ‘reset’ speech (again!) can turn things round? You’re truly delusional. THE END.

@anon_opin Just proves how politicised the civil service is. You are also too scared to post in your own name - why?

Keir Starmer's unpopularity appears to be a major reason for Labour's local election woes, according to MPs and ministers. Here, ITV Political Editor @Peston gives his analysis of why voters dislike the prime minister so much.

@ScottishSun Just proves that some Scots are completely mad- perhaps that’s why so many vote SNP.

@Keir_Starmer Your reflection is to appoint Brown and Harman - that’s suicidal and shows no reflection whatsoever.

It’s important that we reflect and respond to these results - we haven’t done enough to offer people hope for the future. In the coming days I’ll be setting out the path ahead.

I’m delighted to appoint @HarrietHarman as my Adviser on Women and Girls. Harriet is a strong advocate for women and girls and I know she will deliver greater opportunity for women in public life. I’m committed to tackling structural misogyny that is a barrier for too many women and girls. I look forward to working with Harriet to drive forward action on this important issue.

Harriet Harman, who has previously stated that “transwomen are women” has just been appointed by Keir Starmer as his ‘Advisor on Women and Girls’. This Labour government continues to make a mockery of women and biological reality.

@GBNEWS The people spoke with the Brexit vote. Unfortunately none of the main parties listened and hence we are where we are now. Labour are still not listening.

Oh look… The Bank of England boss backs Starmer’s EU reset. Against the democratic will of the people. A reminder … The Bank of England is a Quango, its staff are unelected. They will never face the people.

NEW: Keir Starmer has appointed @HarrietHarman as the PM’s adviser on Women and Girls as part of No 10’s shakeup after the local elections. Harman was doing a similar role at the FCDO with Cooper. “The PM committed to do more to eradicate structural misogyny and achieve a cultural change. This appointment will help to accelerate progress”
