@David_J_Bond @AllisonPearson @wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer @NHSEngland Yup happened to me too.

@wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer YOU ARE NOT REDUCING @NHSEngland WAITING LISTS, YOU'RE FIDDLING THEM! * I've been removed from 2 x waiting lists - cardiology & orthopedics. * My wife has been removed from a cardiology programme. * Many relatives & friends likewise. YOU'RE CONNING US

@JanetEastham @realBenBloch A complete charlatan

EXCLUSIVE: Polanski falsely claimed to have worked at the Ministry of Justice while campaigning for elected office. In reality, he was hired by an agency that supplies actors to a quango for courtroom role-play exercises. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

If somebody, anybody, in the Labour Parliamentary Party finds their backside will they tell the elbow and make mention of its whereabouts more publicly?

@SamCoatesSky About bloody time. Would have sat on it longer if they weren’t in trouble.

Government guidance on single sex spaces, following the Supreme Court ruling last year, now coming this month says Bridget Phillipson

@DPJHodges Is he cross because he didn’t get a Gordon/Harriet love in.

Lord Blunkett had previously been rock solid behind Keir Starmer

@Telegraph Well I would rather know personally. I’ve had test results I’ve seen on the App that no doctor ever informed off. I’d rather be in control.

🔴 The NHS is telling patients they have serious conditions via its app and over the phone, The Telegraph can reveal. Patients have found out they have chronic and life-limiting conditions including cancer and Parkinson’s disease online or by video and phone calls. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/1…

@EdwardJDavey @LizJarvisUK Vote share. Labour 13.8 percent. Lib Dem’s 13.1 percent. Your literally less popular than Labour

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results. We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶

@JohnSlinger @LabourList Just ignore the voters eh? See how that works for you.

@WimbledonLabour @Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy I dare you to go to Sunderland

We were delighted to welcome @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy to Wimbledon this morning following Labour’s outstanding local election result - holding onto Merton Council and increasing our majority. The Prime Minister thanked local campaigners and volunteers for their hard work.

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.

@EdwardJDavey You got the lowest number of votes across the board actually. Our system favours you. You have more MPs than your vote share deserves. That’s ok because you’re marginally less nutty than the Greens. Not a lot though.

@DPJHodges Can you tell me whose camp is Bridget Phillipson in?

@BBCHelenCatt @DPJHodges What these MPs don’t get is that it’s not about THEM. It’s about the voters. Starmer is a dead duck with the voters & he can talk all he likes, the voters aren’t listening.

Labour MP for Worthing West, Dr Beccy Cooper, told Politics South East there shouldn't be a "knee jerk reaction" but Keir Starmer has to convince her in the coming days that he can make progress or she will support calls for an "orderly transition" within the next year.

@_tomscotson Yeah that’s really up there with the working class voters in Wigan

Richard Burgon has said a new Labour leader must apologise for Israel's war in Gaza

Ok so @joshsimonsmp has turned on the monster he helped to create in the lab called Labour Together. Has anyone checked on @SteveReedMP & @darrenpjones this morning.

@DPJHodges He’s got a nerve hasn’t he.

Blimey. This is as far from one of the Usual Suspects as it's possible to be.

@DPJHodges Why are they waiting for his speech?

Clear a very significant number of MPs are going to wait for Starmer's speech, then move. Only question now is do they get behind an immediate challenge (favoured by some Streeting and Rayner allies) or a timetable (favoured by Burnham allies and several cabinet ministers).

Wow the Labour Together worm has turned @joshsimonsmp Didn’t you foist him on us all in the first place.

@Steven_Swinford Is this the same Simons who as part of Labour Together, manipulated foisted Starmer upon us in the first place. Bloody hell he’s got a nerve.

EXCLUSIVE Sir Keir Starmer must set out a timetable for his departure because he has "lost the country" and is incapable of "rising to this moment", former minister Josh Simons has said Writing in The Times Simons, the Labour MP for Makerfield, warned that Labour risks "marching towards extinction" and is "stuck in a politics of incrementalism" He said that the elections are an "unequivocal judgement that our actions do not meet the moment". "We constantly talk big, then act small," he said. Simons was a Starmer loyalist who played a key role in his rise to power Simons: 'Putting the people I represent and the country I love first, I do not believe the Prime Minister can rise to this moment. He has lost the country. He should take control of the situation by overseeing an orderly transition to a new Prime Minister. 'Our party, like many others, is stuck in a politics of incrementalism that cannot meet the moment. We defer to elite interests and stakeholders. We ditch radical reforms that would give people power to change their own lives. 'We Labour MPs must square up to the truth. These elections were not a normal mid-term drubbing, they were an unequivocal judgement that our actions do not meet the moment. We constantly talk big, then act small. 'Labour stopped listening to places, people, and ideas from across the United Kingdom, forgetting that in a moment like this, no tradition or faction has a monopoly on the talent, radicalism, or risk appetite we need. I take responsibility for my role. I believe that humility is essential to pluralism and no big tent party can survive without it. 'For the Labour Party to rediscover its soul, we must reckon with reality. Our party has brilliant and committed people but millions are howling at us. We must ditch sharp-elbowed positioning and the ridiculous debate about whether to move left or right, because the old political spectrum no longer exists.' He resigned as minister after it emerged that he had hired lobbyists while at Labour Together who had investigated the backgrounds of two Sunday Times journalists. He apologised and said he had been naive thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@uk_ktee7484 @AllisonPearson How appalling. I had a similar thing, not for anything serious thankfully, I spent a year on the waiting list & then got a letter saying the referral criteria had changed & I no longer qualified. I’m think they might be manipulating the lists. I hope you get it sorted.

My FIL received a letter from his NHS hospital trust yesterday giving him an appointment regarding skin cancer surgery. He also received a letter on the same day cancelling the appointment. He is elderly and was quite baffled so I rang them up to check what was happening and where he now was on the waiting list. They said he had been removed from the list. I asked why and they couldn’t give me an answer. I asked if the surgery had been rescheduled to which they said no. I asked if it was going to be rescheduled and they said “no, because he isn’t on the waiting list” !!!!!! I was obvs upset and the lady said she would try and fix it and i now have to call back on Monday. Is this how Starmer is fixing the NHS? #NHS #waitinglists
