@BBCBreaking Why is Labour emulating the Tories? Backstabbing, scrabbling behind one candidate for PM in the snivelling promise of a cabinet post. Not my Labour.

Senior minister Darren Jones says he will not challenge Andy Burnham for Labour leadership - follow live bbc.in/4vZ3JAm

@BBCPolitics Massively helped by the BBC News bias

Why everything now points to Andy Burnham becoming prime minister within weeks bbc.in/4xKjn47

@jeremycorbyn Meanwhile you are remembered as being someone who tore the Labour Party apart and made them unelectable. Go away.

Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country. Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza. That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind. The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

@wesstreeting Nobody is going to want to vote for you, you weasel

@AngelaRayner I championed you when so many were putting you down. Starmer stood up for you and was stabbed in the back. I’m done with Labour now, you’re no better than the others

I know just how hard it is to both hold and leave office, not just on those who held it but all those close to them too, as Keir rightly acknowledged today. He spoke with dignity and duty, and my thoughts are with him and his family. I was proud to serve as Deputy as he led our party into government. History will remember not just the challenges he faced but the achievements he oversaw. I pay tribute to his record of dedicated public service. His premiership saw us legislate new rights for working people, renters and leaseholders, invest in a generational boost to social housing, devolve powers to communities, the creation of Great British Energy and Great British Railways, action to tackle child poverty and so much more. This is a record of which any Labour government could be proud. Labour was elected to change Britain, and as a new chapter begins, we must now redouble our efforts to deliver for working people.

@AndyBurnhamGM You and the backbenchers revolt for your own gain has caused this resignation and I can’t blame him for getting out. I hope you face the same lack of support. As of today I’m no longer a lifelong Labour supporter and I’m not on my own.

Keir has given huge service to our country and I want to thank him for his leadership and dedication during such a challenging period. His decision marks the beginning of a transition and it is important that this process is conducted in an orderly and responsible way. I will put myself forward as part of this process. The country expects stability, seriousness and a continued focus on the issues that matter most and that is what it will get. As we move forward, our priority must be to work together to get the country back to where we all want it to be. People want to see progress on economic growth, cost of living, public services, housing and opportunities for the next generation. Political change should never distract from the responsibility to improve people's lives. The Labour movement has always been at its strongest when it looks forward with confidence and purpose. This is what we will do from here and we will make sure this transition is a positive process of renewal for our party and our country.

@RealTimVine Exactly! I had read absolutely no reason for this apart from the egos of people who will do an awful job. If he goes so does my lifelong support for Labour

I’m a bit out of the loop with the news. What exactly has Starmer done that he has to resign? It can’t just be because some people don’t like him because that’s true of every prime minister ever.

@TedUrchin @SheilaBurgoyne1 @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour 100% agree

@SheilaBurgoyne1 @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour I voted for Starmer as leader. In my opinion he is doing a great job. I don’t think Burnham is good enough. I want the rank and file to voice their opinion. Clear enough for you?

If @Keir_Starmer resigns on Monday, I resign my long term membership. End of. @UKLabour

@BBCBreaking Just scrap the bloody thing and spend no more money on it.

HS2 could cost up to £102.7bn and first services could take until 2039 to start, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says bbc.in/4wtPPXU

@KateRobbins @Eurovision @BBCNews 💯 agree! I’ve been saying this for ages, we should have a say in what represents us. The rubbish they’ve rolled out for a number of years fully justifies last place.

In my humble opinion…

@lucylotuss Kevin Hart was the most unfunny part of The Kevin Hart Roast

Can you guys please give me your thoughts and opinions on the Kevin Hart roast bc that felt super off to me. Idk why. Someone help.

@LabourList He’s a creepy little weasel that’s why

🚨 BREAKING: Streeting would LOSE leadership contest against Keir Starmer, poll reveals labourlist.org/2026/05/labour…

@AngelaRayner I have always been a supporter of yours throughout all of this but I withdraw that support now due to the way you and some of your cronies are destabilising government and undermining the best PM we’ve had in decades when we need him most.

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@kennylanglea I’m friends with Keith’s sons and both are a credit to the man.

This day in 1976, 33 year old Keith Relf, former lead singer of The Yardbirds, was electrocuted while tuning his guitar at home. He was found dead by his 8 year old son #KeithRelf #Yardbirds 🥀

@thelizcarr @GoodOmensPrime On my way! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I've finally made the move to Insta! I'll be posting the BTS pics I've got from shows I've done & those coming up, including @GoodOmensPrime series 3, out this Wednesday 13th May! So if you fancy some new/old pics & a few more words, please come follow me on Insta @LizCarrPark

You shame politics @CatherineWest1 . You are an attention seeking disgrace. Starmer was elected to lead this country for 5 years, but you want to return to the behaviour of the Tories over 14years. The Labour leadership need to kick you out of the party #BootOutCatherineWest

@BBCPolitics Now is certainly not the time for this, let him do his job. He’s been stability in a world on the brink and in house fighting is more about them than him.

"I'm not going to shy away from the fact I have got doubters, including in my own party," Keir Starmer says Doubters said I couldn't win a general election - "I proved them wrong, I'm going to prove them wrong again", he adds Follow live: bbc.in/4tpGnSE

@Keir_Starmer It would help if all of the media, BBC included wasn’t so biased. They seem to have forgotten the atrocities the Tories carried out over 14 years.

We must respond to the message that voters have sent us and break with the status quo once and for all. We must confront the big challenges the public face with real answers. That is how we will deliver the change that people are desperate for and build a stronger and fairer country. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I voted for Keir Starmer. I’ve voted Labour all my life except under Corbyn. He was a fucking nutter. What has Starmer done that’s so bad? It’s just noise from his enemies. He won a mandate at a GENERAL ELECTION. 14 years of shit can’t be turned around quickly.
