@BethRigby @bbclaurak Starmer will only do what's right for him, not the country

On Friday PM said he’ll fight any leadership challenge. Now, when pressed by @bbclaurak, Kyle doesn’t repeat PM’s position from Friday, says only that PM is reflecting & thinking what’s right for country. No 10 told me last night the ‘position unchanged from PM’s determination to fight from Friday’

@TheRealJamieKay You'll wait a long time then as there isn't any

Waiting for the far-right to condemn and protest in Edinburgh following the sickening axe attack committed by this white guy.

@MrBrendanCox If it was predictable then it wouldn't have happened

An absolutely awful attack- but totally predictable. You’ll now see people who have driven hatred of Muslims condemn the attack & feign surprise at how such a thing could happened. But if you create an atmosphere of hate you share responsibility bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@MothinAli They haven't. Some people have had enough. That's what he said so believe him

Reform, Restore et al have been inciting hatred and this is the consequence. And where are the speeches from ministers saying how laws need to be changed, marches need to be stopped and phrases need to be banned.

@wesstreeting It's an example of rising prejudice and polarisation between us all not just Muslims

The horrific images from Edinburgh are an extreme example of rising prejudice and hatred directed towards Muslims. We have to confront this as a nation. This where such hatred leads and it is not British. My thoughts are with those affected and the emergency services.

@Bushra1Shaikh It does but don't try and politicise it and blame them for clicks

What happened in Edinburgh should disgust every decent person. I hope Rupert Lowe, Richard Tice, Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson and the rest of the anti-Muslim outrage industry are proud of themselves. I am sick to death of their daily hatred. Enough. Absolutely enough.

@ShabanaMahmood Or Jews, or Christians

I am horrified by news of the attack in Edinburgh. I am grateful to the police and emergency services for their bravery in apprehending the suspect and for their speedy response in attending to the victims. The suspect appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred. There is no place for hatred and violence against Muslims. I know it is not who we are as a country.

@zarahsultana @Keir_Starmer I don't condone any violence but some people really have had enough.

Where is the COBRA meeting, @Keir_Starmer? Or does that not apply when Muslims are attacked?

@TedUrchin @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour Whatever

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

@LidlGB Hey Lidl. When are you opening a pub in England ?

@SpammyFritter He's probably drinking again

Went to see Paul Weller last night in Liverpool with my lad. I know Paul's a rabid lefty and champagne socialist, but as I've been a lifelong Jam fan, I was always able to see past the politics for the sake of the music. Half way through the set he only started ranting about Palestine. 🙄 Fuckin arsehole couldn't help himself.

@afneil Get some of this down your neck instead of Irn Bru you hairy arsed Scot 😀

Labour thinks it has found the holy grail with Andy Burnham. It’s more likely to end up in an unholy mess mol.im/a/15914343

@zatzi He'll join his puppet masters in the WHO or similar organisation

End of days…. I wonder what Starmer will do next. Perhaps Reeves can teach him to play chess to while away their retirements.

@LucyTCWife No, because you've just poured it down your neck 😂

It’s finally wine o’clock time 🍷 I would like it be known that no alcohol has passed my lips since Sunday! Have a fabulous weekend, enjoy the sunshine ☀️ Be good! 🥂 🥂

@afneil @YouTube Andrew, did you vote in Makerfield. I reckon you'd have been an Hussar at Peterloo

Andy Burnham is not ‘the messiah’ and this is why | Andrew Neil youtu.be/BTMrHdZ7wuU?si… via @YouTube

@thecarolemalone @AndyBurnhamGM Actually he's done a great job in Manchester

Unbelievable to see people celebrating the fact @AndyBurnhamGM could be our next PM. He was twice rejected for PM because he was so lack lustre.Nothing has changed in the past years 8 years which he has spent piddling around in local politics.Yet Labour sees him as its saviour!

@BethRigby @HarrietHarman Of course not. They are saving their own skins

💥MEGA Electoral Dysfunction on is way - @HarrietHarman says Burnham is going to become PM. Starmer is going to be leaving office - “It's not that the herd is moving. They are stampeding” - “The PLP have made a decision that they're not hanging around with Keir Starmer” - I've spoken to a lot of junior ministers and MPs this morning, and they've all had AB on the phone asking for their support. Wes has been talking to people nobody I've spoke to has heard from the PM. - I don't think there's going to be any question of a timetable. We cannot have ministers in a state of paralysis all the way through the summer... if you're concerned about good government and not doing irreparable damage to the Labour Party, you want this to be done in a in a timely way. - There's a big role Lucy Powell (deputy leader) and Jessica Morden (chair of the PLP) Those two women need to get three men in a room, lock them in. Those men are Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer, and not let them out until they've agreed a swift process.

@matt_dathan You know jack shit mate

Excl: Andy Burnham plans to keep Shabana Mahmood as home secretary: thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@Iromg Lovely way to wake up

I’ve had a nap. Happy Friday!! 😎

@BethRigby Oh but he is

WATCH: Burnham is no longer the King of the North or Prince across the water. On Monday he will come to Westminster to stake him claim to be PM. Allies say Starmer has to decide whether he’s exit is bloody or dignified. He wants to fight, the next 72 hrs will determine if he can
