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.
Lucy Powell MP@LucyMPowell

“All of us are very keen to ensure that there is diversity of opinion and representation of all the different traditions of the Party and country as well as obviously making sure that we’ve got strong voices from women at the top of the party.” theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

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

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? 🥀

I’m seeing lots of posts from Labour MPs congratulating themselves on what they have achieved in the last two years but pointing out there’s still lots to do, all without a single word of recognition or thanks to Sir Keir for getting them back into Government.😟🥀☹️
