@UKLabour I am absolutely fuming Those mps who are imploding the labour party by their disgraceful actions We the VOTERS put Keir in As prime minister not them we decide not them This fuel to reform fire and all the things done will be lost again

@JeremyVineOn5 I voted for keir not for the mps that resigned He is the man the VOTERS went to the polls for to be prime minister This is discaceful behaviour of mps from the labour party It we who decided not them !!!!

Is Sir Keir Starmer right to fight on? This morning, Wes Streeting confronted him over the turmoil in the party. Four ministers have resigned, and 90 MPs are calling for him to go, but Starmer still has the support of 140 MPs. Should the PM keep calm and carry on?

@AllisonPearson Who do you think you are talking for Your options are your own dont claim to speak for everyone else

No, idiot, it’s YOU who have failed working people. That’s why EVERYONE hates you, Starmer!

@wesstreeting If you dont want this stay in your job grow a pair and back Keir We voted for him to be prime minister And you to get the job done Stop this nonsense getbon with government I dont want reform as they will privatise so stop in fighting now

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Labour will never privatise the NHS. We’ll work with the private sector to cut NHS waiting lists while we build the staff, the equipment and the technology the NHS needs to treat patients on time.

@Keir_Starmer I voted for you i want your vision and policy as every other voter that gave us a labour party in government Its a big ship to steer around after so long Please keep going we the voters spoke you are in charge

@NadiaWhittomeMP Its time to accept that the voters chose keir not you Put the long knives away corbyn left us in the wilderness and another tory government with nothing for us Its keirs policy that got you into government back off

Now is the time for the Prime Minister to accept that he can’t lead us into the next election. He needs to set out a timetable for his departure, so we can take a different political direction and deliver the change people voted for in 2024. This is not a situation any Labour MP wanted to be in, but burying our heads in the sand would hand the keys to No. 10 to Nigel Farage. That would be unforgivable.

@RichardBurgon We elected keir not you give up your corbyn politics i want Labour in government not reform This talk is music to their ears

As I’ve said, Keir Starmer needs to go. But not through a Cabinet stitch-up or palace coup. And not through a snap leadership election designed to hand Wes Streeting a coronation. We need a proper democratic contest involving the whole Labour movement so we get this right.

@SimonDanczuk @TalkTV Stop saying you talk for us you dont the public voted keir in in large numbers You speak for yourself Not others its your opinion definitely not mine

1.5 minutes of me setting out Starmer's inability to carry on as Prime Minister, here on @TalkTV. The British public have had enough, as we saw from Thursday's elections. Please do have a watch.

This is the choice. A highly regarded and admired former Director of Public Prosecutions and head of the Crown Prosecution Service, fully vetted by the Security Service or a lying, corrupt, chancer with no political experience who sold Britain out and is probably a Russian asset

@FredThomasUK Get back in your box and be quiet We voted for keir not you We will end up with a con reform government if you carry on No party that turns on itself gets re elected Do your job follow the mandate That's the thing that will deliver

I have nothing but respect for Sir Keir Starmer. He transformed our party and led us to an election victory. But sadly it is clear now that to deliver on our promise of change and to secure Britain’s future, we must look to a new leader.

@HJB_News__ No he hasn't he is behind keir

David Lammy has said tonight he’ll be entering the Labour leadership race. What are your thoughts?

@UKLabour When g osborne cut spending and increased the vat at the same time It had a very negative effect This kind of taxation is very damaging When to high and leads to much less in tax revenues Staged cuts but a 2.5 cut to hospitality straight away

@UKLabour I am calling for a staged cutting of vat on everything especially hospitality 15 % the goal It is shown that such cuts drive an economy and deliver more revenue to the government by the positive effects it has let's make it happen and soon

@Keir_Starmer Keir we are too quiet obout what we are doing we need our mps engaged in the changes made so far not just sound bites I think Gordon brown pulled a master stroke when he lowered vat It helps everyone Down to 15 % before the elections Is the way to win

It’s important that we reflect and respond to these results - we haven’t done enough to offer people hope for the future. In the coming days I’ll be setting out the path ahead.

@bphillipsonMP All we have to do is be much louder about what we are doing and keep pushing the message Not only to make the changes But tell the voters every day about them and the positive impacts they bring With more details and less sound bites

We have delivered good, Labour things – action on child poverty, strengthening workers’ rights, protections for renters. But we can’t and we shouldn’t pretend the status quo is working. To stop Reform, we have to be bolder and we have to deliver change faster.

@AngelaRayner I voted Labour with keir in charge Get behind him now push the policies in our manifesto Get the vision done and seen to be done is the way to keep voters on side You counter right wing politics by standing up for what you do no winny about it

We need immediate action to cut costs for households and put money back into the everyday economy. This can be done within the current fiscal rules, by ensuring those who benefit from the crisis contribute more so that everyone can thrive. Our Employment Rights Act was just the first step in our plan to Make Work Pay. Now is the time to take the next steps, starting with a Fair Pay Agreement in social care - but not ending there. A rising minimum wage must go alongside our programme to get young people into work. The investment we secured in social and affordable housing should now unleash a building boom that benefits British business and workers. We must double down on renters’ reform and show leaseholders our action on tackling ground rents and charges was just a first step to ending the feudal leasehold system for good. Our devolution revolution has begun, but is nowhere near done. Giving mayors powers to transform planning and licensing can boost local business and good growth, in the interests of local people. They must go alongside economic powers and public services. Boosting community ownership and stopping the sell-off of local assets from pubs to playgrounds will put power back in local hands, helping restore the pride they feel in the places they live. We must go further on planning reforms, to build the schools, hospitals, roads and infrastructure the country needs to grow. We should be unafraid to promote new forms of public, community and cooperative ownership across the board. Buses and trains being brought back into public hands can now operate for the public good, at prices passengers can afford. Thames Water is an iconic failure of privatisation, which resonates for the same reasons. People are rightly sick of bonuses for bosses who deliver nothing but higher bills. We must face down demands that the public pay the price of private failure. We must create good jobs that pay decent wages by ensuring defence investment includes a secure manufacturing base. Use our house building programme to boost construction, invest in the green economy, backing SMEs by reforming business rates and increasing support to revive our high streets and local economies, raise the minimum wage and get young people into work. And then there is politics itself, putting power back into people’s hands so that they are shaping the decisions that impact them. We must tackle the inflow of dodgy money in our politics - something that Nigel Farage, who took 5 million pounds in a secret personal gift from an offshore crypto baron, will never do. We must make politics work for ordinary people. We can only prove we mean it by putting the common interest ahead of factionalism. This is bigger than personalities, but it is time to acknowledge that blocking Andy Burnham was a mistake. We must show we understand the scale of change the moment calls for - that means bringing our best players into Parliament - and embracing the type of agenda that has been successful at a local level, rather than reaching back to an agenda and politics that has failed people. These are the fights we need to have, and the change in direction we need to see. Policy tweaks will not fix the fundamental challenges facing our country. This government needs, at pace, to put measures in place that make people's lives tangibly better, while fixing the foundations of a system rigged against them. The Prime Minister must now meet the moment and set out the change our country needs. Change our economic agenda to prioritise making people better off, change how we run our party so that all voices are listened to, and change how we do politics. Labour exists to make working people better off. That is not happening fast enough, and it needs to change — now. 2/2

Our party has suffered a historic defeat. Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more. What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance. The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people. We’ve heard the same on the doorstep as we’ve seen in the polls - the cost of living is the top issue for voters of all parties. People have turned to populists and nationalists because we have not done enough to fix it. Living standards are barely higher than they were a decade and a half ago. People feel hopeless - that the cost of living crisis will never end, and now they see oil and gas companies use global instability to post record profits. Once again, ordinary people are paying the price for decisions they didn’t make. It’s no wonder that across the UK, working people feel the system is rigged against them. Things can be so much better than this. Countries including Spain and Canada have shown that economies can grow and people can thrive when governments stay true to labour and social democratic values and put people first. We need to learn from that. In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer.  We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people. The Peter Mandelson scandal showed a toxic culture of cronyism.  Decisions like cutting winter fuel allowance just weren’t what people expected from a Labour government. For too long, successive governments have allowed wealth and power to concentrate at the top without a plan to ensure the benefits of economic growth are shared fairly. The result is an economy that does not work for the majority, with wealth concentrated in too few hands. This level of inequality, alongside squeezed living standards, is the outcome of a model built on deregulation, privatisation, and trickle-down economics. But we have the chance to fix this.  1/2

@AngelaRayner Left wing corbynite politics are not the answer the reason for our drubbing is the long knives in the party voters see disunity as poor politics and history has shown that these actions cost elections Its time to be vocal about what we have done so far

@annaturley @Keir_Starmer There is still mps out there that seem determined to give the opposition parties ammunition by going on tv call ing for keir to quit You are only doing service to them We will be punished badly in elections by this .put the long knives away

This difficult moment isn’t about giving up, it’s about stepping up. I’m proud of @Keir_Starmer, his record as a Labour PM and his leadership. I support him to deliver the ambition he set out this morning to bring hope & opportunity to the country. 🌹 facebook.com/share/1EH9UgrH…

@CatherineWest1 You need to go somewhere quiet We the voters decided in hught numbers that keir would be prime minister of this country You dont dictate anything about his premiership that is for labour voters to say if you dont like it then go

@bengapinto @jacksonhinkle The reality of what exactly know your history

@jacksonhinkle Absolutely 💯% true. The Anglo-saxon Western nations do not want to accept this reality. #SovietUnion #Russia #VictoryDay
