Whatever your view of him, Wes is the best communicator Labour have by quite a distance.

@IWLFC98 I agree with most of that. Although I still give Keir time.

Wes Streeting is the only Labour politician I have watched on Question Time in the last year who consistently undermines the Tories/Reform's position and sets out the Labour agenda in a way that gets applause from the crowd. He's the future of this party, the sooner Keir makes way, the better.

YAAAAAAAAAATESSSS

@debbeepatton You're not engaging with my point. Have a nice evening.

@BenInRushcliffe Ben, I suspect I was out canvassing for Labour when you were riding in your pram, but you must accept that if(when!) Labour are decimated in May, the Government & Councils are wholly responsible. Sharon’s role as Unite Gen Sec is to speak for the concerns of members not Labour!

All this does is bring down morale and show party disunity to the public. Part of me thinks she wants us to get "decimated". The least she can do is tell the public about the workers rights bill and increases to national minimum wage.

@debbeepatton What you say has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.

@BenInRushcliffe She’s elected to represent Unite members not support government action. Labour’s conduct during the Birmingham Bin Workers dispute has been reprehensible, Sharon has actually been extremely patient, but now at member’s insistence she must act in accordance with their wishes.

It's OK the hypnosis kicks in quick....

@RemIsBuzzin @alexwickham Because it was politically. The public will blame Trump, rightly so.

@alexwickham What? But we were told that Keir Starmer has handled this war brilliantly. We were told that him minimising his influence with Trump was strategic genius.

This is why as we wrote at the weekend there is barely contained fury at Trump behind the scenes in the UK govt. His war knocks off course their hopes of the economy turning a corner this year. And there will be even less market tolerance for a more left-wing leader

@andrew_behan Why just mistakes?

TBF though. Sharon’s only pointing out all the mistakes that the Government have made. We can’t gloss over that. I’m sure out on the doorsteps all the Labour candidates for May will be talking about what they’ve achieved whilst being a Cllr.

@Steven_Swinford @SophyRidgeSky Hasn't backed workers? Big uplift in NMW and workers rights bill. What planet is she on.

Breaking: Labour will be 'pretty much decimated' in the local elections and there will 'be a move to change leader', the head of the Unite union has said Sharon Graham tells @SophyRidgeSky that Labour hasn't backed workers and has been 'dragged kicking and screaming' into doing the things a Labour government should do 'Irrespective of what I believe, I think after the May elections there will be a move to change leader because I think Labour are going to pretty much be decimated in those elections 'I don't think that they understand themselves how bad that will be - what anger is out there about the fact that they haven't backed workers, the fact they have to be dragged kicking and screaming into doing things that, quite frankly, we would expect a Labour government to do, for example, have a wealth tax. 'It's not radical. I mean, it's pretty obvious that that's the sort of thing that we need to be looking at when the gap between the rich and the poor is as wide as it is' She says that Rayner has to 'do the right thing by the Birmingham bin workers'

What the fuck is Trump and Netenyahu doing 😔

Random fact at midnight. Jess Phillips MP is related to footballer Kevin Phillips.

@DanLThorpe @Royal_Greenwich Massive achievement Denise.

I popped along to the final full council meeting of this administration to pay tribute to my brilliant friend & former colleague Denise Hyland who is stepping down from @Royal_Greenwich at this election. Like me, Denise has reached 20 years of service. Much to be proud of! 👏🏻

@Audikeith565656 @Keir_Starmer Excess deaths down. Show me any evidence pensioners were killed by Starmer.

@Keir_Starmer @BenInRushcliffe TRY if YOU can Starmer telling that to the PENSIONERS YOU KILLED last winter.

I’m proud of our tolerant and diverse country. I’m proud that in Trafalgar Square we celebrate all faiths. That’s British values. The comments from Nick Timothy are shameful. Kemi Badenoch should do the right thing and sack him.

@MikeyDT1979 @KarlTurnerMP Look at the link in my bio

@BenInRushcliffe @KarlTurnerMP Really? And what the stuff NOT in the manifesto that they’re trying to ram through? The cutting of energy bills was a blatant lie, the no council tax rises was a blatant lie, smashing the gangs was a blatant lie. What from the manifesto has actually helped the country?

It isn’t just the “left”. We need to stick to our manifesto. What are we having this nonsense on jury stuff for (as an example) that the public don’t like. Party don’t like. It won’t do what it promises to do and the government wants a scrap with PLP on it. Bad politics.

Won't forget that Badenoch and Farage wanted to join the US in taking a war to Iran.

@MikeyDT1979 @KarlTurnerMP Over 50% of the manifesto has been met already.

@KarlTurnerMP You lot haven’t stuck to one manifesto promise yet so why would you start now?
