@flying_rodent At least it's more dignified than England, whose prized national relics are usually someone else's

Completely in tune for Scotland, where our most prized national relics include a big stone
The Herald@heraldscotland
The SNP MP for Moray, Laura Mitchell, took her oath of allegiance while holding a charred stave from the Burning of the Clavie. The Clavie, a burning tar barrel carried through the town of Burghead every January 11th according to the old Julian calendar, is one of Scotland's oldest continuous folk customs. Fragments of the charred barrel are traditionally kept as good luck charms 👇

@thepileus This should absolutely be the price for support, and Burnham would be a fool not to commit to it, as it would win him a lot of support from the Reform bloc as well.
English
The Green Party should stand down in the by-election, but only if Andy Burnham agrees to bring in PR (if PM).

@LoschbourStev Your butt has a decent eye for composition

@ElectionMapsUK @LabourList Imagine being Wes Streeting and spending all your career grasping towards the Iron Throne, only to fall short because you can't win a popularity contest with the winner of the Most Unpopular Man award.

STARMER HAS FULL CONFIDENCE IN WES STREETING KLAXON - from @daisyeastlake Sir Keir Starmer continues to have “full confidence” in Wes Streeting, his health secretary, despite refusing to give him credit for falling NHS waiting lists. The prime minister’s official spokesman said the drop in NHS waiting times was “thanks to the decisions made by this government led by the prime minister". Asked twice if Starmer was proud of the work of Streeting, his spokesman said the progress in the NHS was the result of policy decisions “enacted by the health secretary." The spokesman said the prime minister still has confidence in Streeting and that the position had not changed from yesterday

@nise_yoshimi I do think this must have been Hodges BSing - because how can you be a Labour Press Officer and have a particular announcement come as such a complete shock that you're reduced to theatrics 🤔

The New Statesman@NewStatesman
Al Carns: How Labour can win again What is the point of Labour if it does not represent Sheffield, Stoke-on-Trent, Barnsley, Swansea and Aberdeen? What is the point of the Labour Party if it cannot replace despair and frustration with hope, stability and purpose? The party was founded to give ordinary working people security, dignity and bargaining power over their lives. That is exactly what I believe, and it must be our mission again. We do not need more slogans, strategies, press releases or commissions. We need action. People in this country do not expect perfection. But they do expect seriousness. They expect stability and fairness. And they expect a government that is on their side. That is what Labour must be again. It is how Labour defeats Nigel Farage. And it is how Britain recovers. @AlistairCarns newstatesman.com/politics/uk-po…

Oi @Keir_Starmer
You should be taking notes.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero. We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing. Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run. That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

@AdamFoxUK And yet here we are - amongst the ruins of everything you've failed to achieve.
English
Some of us are not Labour MPs but have spent much of our lives working for a Labour government.
I am so angry. We did not spend that time fighting for the soul of our party to throw it away after just 2 years.
English
@Seanchuckle The legacy of whoever coups Starmer and loses the next election will be 100 years of thought experiments about whether it was the right thing to do 😅
English
@GregHadfield Starmer doesn't need the backing of 81 MPs due to the precedent set in the 2016 Chicken Coup - when the Labour Party decided to get rid of its leader...but didn't have a credible candidate to replace him. How times change.
English
If Starmer stands against Streeting, he'll lose.
If he stands against Streeting and Burnham, he'll lose. And, crucially, split the anti-Streeting vote.
Starmer may even fail to get 81 votes by Labour MPs.
Burnham may fail to win a seat.
Therefore, Streeting could eventually win, on a low turnout and a small popular vote.
Sounds like how Labour won in 2024....

@StarbuckToby @owenjones84 Still waiting on my Scampi NikNaks 😤

@AlebionShrugged @OwenJones84 I heard he's bringing back scampi Nik Naks.
English
Thanks to the self destruction of the Tories, Starmer will win the next election as perhaps the most unpopular newly elected prime minister in history.
And - let’s put this gently - prime ministers do not tend to get more popular over time.

This coming from a government source. A less supportive assessment of cabinet meeting
“Keir said in Cabinet that he wouldn't discuss the elections or his leadership, and that he will only speak to cabinet ministers about that individually. Then after the meeting he refused to see Cabinet ministers individually”
English
I will certainly leave the Labour Party if Starmer is removed.
𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡 𝙈𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨@PhilMyers53
How many feel as I do? If Keir is removed, I will quit the Labour Party

@breeallegretti Not very nice of Peter Lamb to say that anyone who thinks this is sustainable needs an MRI. It implies that they have a brain.

Exc: Row breaks out among 2024 Labour MPs over whether to challenge Keir Starmer, leaked WhatsApps reveal.
Natasha Irons: "Bottom line, changing leader because Nigel Farage has forced us to is not something any of us can come back from. Anyone who thinks we can needs to wake up."
Peter Lamb: "Anyone who thinks this is sustainable needs an MRI."
Laurence Turner: "We get enough insults on our socials. Let's leave them out here."
Nesil Caliskan - a whip - says: "This is really rude."
