I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division. We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views. They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.

@Kay_W84 They can change it to white, yellow, brown or whatever. It's a good kids song which I grew up with. 1984 is gaining momentum every day.

@MarkHeath45 I like her, she's very pleasant. But she won't turnaround the Conservatives.

@Gwynoro Lol what a load of twaddle. They laugh at Starmer. He holds no authority whatsoever.

Hey Labour MPs - close your eyes try and imagine Streeting, Rayner, Miliband, Burnham on the world stage - would they begin to match up to Starmer? Very much doubt it. As I keep on saying get a grip! The PM has acquired a huge international reputation - impressive in fact.

Starmer is by far the best Prime Minister for the coming few years. He’s stood up to the orange man child, he standing up for Ukraine and he’s widely respected across the free world. He’s serious, unflappable and a tad dull as a serious politician should be.

What’s the one thing that’ll be written on Starmer’s political tombstone? Chagos? Winter fuel? Southport?

My monologue from The Times at One with ANDREW NEIL @TimesRadio There’s rarely been a situation so bad that it can’t be made worse with a Keir Starmer speech. We’ll see if this morning’s make-or-break speech by the PM is the exception that proves the rule.  It certainly wasn’t the Gettysburg Address. But nobody expects that from Keir Starmer. In places it was a familiar walk down memory lane, with the PM bigging up, yet again, his alleged working class credentials. As if we care.  There was plenty of emoting with working people. Though much good it has done them so far.  There was a lot of talk of the need for radical change. But no concrete examples of what that would entail. The three policies he announced were simply a rehash of existing policies.  And there were a few outlandish claims, including the assertion that he’d stabilised the economy — and that our economic ‘fundamentals are sound.’  Yes he actually said that. Normally, when a sitting PM is thumped as badly by the voters as Starmer was on Thursday, they feel the need to say something to the nation.  But Starmer wasn’t speaking to us today. He was speaking to the Labour Party, especially its MPs who hold his fate in their hands.  Hence the Labour crowd-pleasing sections on renationalising British Steel — it’s already under state control —  taking Britain back to the ‘heart of Europe — whatever that means — and more apprenticeships for young folks — already party policy. So far Starmer’s efforts to save his own skin have been a textbook case of how NOT to save your own skin.   The most unpopular Labour PM in modern history (Starmer) calls in aid the second most unpopular Labour PM in modern history (Gordon 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.  In the wake of your electoral thrashing, 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 ( but 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? Are you truly delusional? What is working in Starmer’s favour is that all those who would succeed him have troubles of their own.  Wes Streeting doesn’t have the guts to wield the dagger himself. He wants someone else to take the lead — which suggests he’s not made of prime ministerial timber.  Angela Rayner, who staked out her left-wing stall at the weekend, still has tax problems hanging over her.  Andy Burnham remains somewhat seriously handicapped by not being in the Commons — with no easy route back.  And Ed Miliband sees himself as the kingmaker not the king. At least for now. But don’t rule out, in the absence of alternatives, he starts to see himself as the potential king.  Starmer is also helped by the fact his enemies are divided on the timetable for getting rid of him. The Streeting faction want a leadership contest now, even if they want some else to start it.  The left, which includes Rayner and Miliband, wants to delay any challenge until Burnham returns to the Commons.  As I speak we’re waiting to see if the dam bursts or Starmer clings on. What stalking horse Labour MP Catherine West does next is unclear. As things stand, Starmer lives to fight another day — for now.   .

They said he couldn’t win an election. He did. Now he is Prime Minister, I am backing him to prove that serious leadership beats cynical politics every time. 👇🏽

We will block far right agitators from traveling to Britain this weekend for a march designed to confront and provoke our diverse capital city. We will not allow people to come to the UK, threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets.

The prime minister is right. We need to get back to the heart of Europe. That will never happen whilst the red lines remain on the single market, the customs union and freedom of movement. They need to go now and be seen to go now otherwise it’s a waste of time. labourmovementforeurope.uk/redlines?splas…

“Till death do us part…” What a fitting epitaph for Starmer’s premiership. Starmer's big response to Reform vanquishing Labour in towns that have been Labour for 50 or even 100 years? To bring back Gordon Brown. The phone-throwing ghost of Labour past. The man who sold Britain’s gold reserves at $275 per ounce. The price is now $4706 per ounce. Oh well, only a £40 billion mistake. Brown, who abolished the 10p income tax, and whose stealth taxes crushed Middle England. And whose benefits bonanza led to mass scrounging and unemployment. Brown, who raided private pensions, and stuck two fingers up to pensioners by increasing the state pension by a miserly 75p. Brown, who created PFI contracts that we're *still* spending billions on, and will be until 2050! All in all, we’ll have paid around £270 billion for £50 billion worth of infrastructure. Genius. Brown, who spent most of his time as Chancellor machinating against Blair. And whose main advisor as Prime Minister had to resign for plotting to smear the health and sex lives of his political opponents and their wives. Brown, who deregulated the banks, and whose Government gave a knighthood to Fred ‘The Shred’ Goodwin for ‘services to banking.’ Brown, whose borrowing gave us the largest deficit in the G7 when the 2008 crisis hit. And who took our deficit higher than it had ever been in peacetime. Brown, who attacked a lifelong Labour vote as a ‘bigot’ for being concerned with migration. Starmer is doomed. The fact he thinks Gordon Brown is the change people want confirms it. We’re heading for a new Labour leader, someone who'll no doubt be even worse than Starmer. Back Reform to save Britain.
