@LaindonFEMINIST Sadly, it appears to have always been the way of the political world. Revolutions come & go but eventually when the dust settles nothing has changed.

I’m so Sick of crooked men in our politics (I’m sure some women are too). Gove, Johnson, Farage, Burnham. Why a big part of our country love them has always baffled me. They are transparently crooked. It’s obvious to everyone. But somehow people think they’re ok. Why?

Can we possibly break all records with this simple one day poll Should Keir Starmer change his mind and remain as PM❓ It’s just a poll but can we send a clear message?

@Hepworthclare I’m sure your multi tasking skills have always included that one too👏🏻

This is my view. I usually concur with Gordon. This is no exception

@andyburnham you made biggest mistake of your life, by removing Keir Starmer, the best PM this country had in last 50 years , you might become PM but stain of dishonour will remain with you and your co conspirators and history will record this , shame on you all @LucyMPowell

@Hepworthclare It doesn’t look as if he’s bothered tho does it?

‘Man of the people’ now doing his utmost to not let the people find out what kind of man he is. We see you Farage… we see you! 👀 😉

I still have incessant anger not only about the way @Keir_Starmer has been treated but by the way @andyburnham @UKLabour planned a coup to out him..and disregard members and what they wanted..they tried to pretend he was a bad prime minister when he was the best we ever had .

NEW: Before cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne gave £5m to @nigel_farage, he gave £1m to Boris Johnson. For what?? Today @nerve_news reveals new evidence that tracks Harborne's investments in defence firm QinetiQ...to key defence announcements from Boris Johnson. 1/

It is difficult to reconcile this sentiment with the manner in which it is delivered. To extol the virtues of diversity of opinion whilst simultaneously denying others the opportunity to respond publicly is a contradiction that rather undermines the message itself. Open debate has always been the hallmark of a confident democracy. Those entrusted with high office should be prepared not only to advance their own views, but also to defend them when challenged. Shielding oneself from legitimate criticism does little to inspire confidence and instead creates the impression that dissenting voices are to be managed rather than heard. If the Labour Party is to remain a broad church, it cannot simply celebrate diversity of opinion in principle; it must be willing to accommodate it in practice. That requires openness, accountability and a willingness to engage with those who disagree, even when the questions are uncomfortable.

Let me be VERY clear for those of you in the back. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in our known history will "collapse the government as we know it," then the government as we know it needs to collapse.

The UN for the first time in history officially named a sitting president, Donald Trump as a racist whose hate speech has caused grave human rights violations Trump didn't make the United States racist... He made the racists feel comfortable enough to show their racism in public

@arf84648947 @colette0529 We can choose never to read it of course. Which I do.

We don’t need advice from a man who is forced to lie for his boss.

“Nothing will stop Reform from putting the British people first” Apart from roubles, millions in crypto, fossil-fuel donations & Trump Treasonous snakes, the lot of them

It was made so clear to us what we had to declare. There were even people available to take us through the process. There is no excuse for not declaring every penny.

Two weeks from being Prime Minister and he hasn't got a clue, hasn't got a plan and hasn't got a mandate. If BBC were reporting this about a South American country they would all it a 'coup'.

Comments not allowed but surely one would expect our Foreign Secretary to realise that, if the world is unstable, the last thing she should want is to unseat our current Prime Minister in order to replace him with somebody who ran away from Parliament when the going got tough? 🥀
