@zubirahmed Idiot

After reflection, I have tendered my resignation as a health minister to the Prime Minister. Country first. Always 👇

@RichardBurgon I used to respect you. Now you e made farage happy how do you see this playing out? Idiot

We need an orderly timetable for Keir’s departure and a proper democratic leadership election - not a Wes Streeting-organised palace coup.

@AlexDaviesJones Idiotic step. Causing chaos within our party, playing into the hands of farage. So so stupid

It is with a very heavy heart that I have offered my resignation to the Prime Minister.

@Keir_Starmer As a Labour member I want you to stay as the leader of our party, you’re doing a good job. It’s extraordinary watching the party tearing itself itself apart.

We are a reasonable, tolerant, diverse, decent country. That is the real Britain. The country I love and will fight for.

@JohnSlinger Starmer should stay, I say this as a labour member. Extrodinary watching Labour tearing itself apart again

One thing I’ve not heard much of in the debate about who should be Prime Minister of our country is the human being at the centre of this, & his family, & the effect of this on them all. The vitriol is off the scale. Show some humanity. People we disagree with are not enemies

@JamesCleverly Why are you saying this instead of promoting the amazing policies this government have already introduced?

Starmer cannot survive this, and doesn’t deserve to. He did not have a plan for government. He had no mandate for winter fuel payment cuts, working tax increases, business tas increases, huge benefits increases, family farm tax etc. His political and personal judgement is shockingly poor. He thinks the rules don’t apply to him, he blames everyone else but takes no responsibility himself. Hence the list of people that he appointed and then fired, Mandelson being just the highest profile. The chaos within the Government, the Labour Party, and the country are his fault. Whether he stands down today, or clings on for a while longer, it is clear he won’t lead Labour into the next General Election. Whoever takes over needs to put the country before party and sort this Starmer created mess out.

@IsraelMFA @nytimes IDF soldiers rape prisoners,

Today, the @nytimes chose to publish one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press. In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused. Israel - whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse - is portrayed as the guilty party. This publication is no coincidence. It is part of a false and well-orchestrated anti-Israel campaign aimed at placing Israel on the UN Secretary-General’s blacklist. Israel will fight these lies with the truth - and the truth will prevail.

@FormerylNurgle @IslingtonChap The sniff of power. It’s sickening

@IslingtonChap You have to ask, what is the matter with people and what is the matter, in particular, with Labour MPs

This video should be compulsorily broadcast onto every screen in the country. TV and mobile phone, on loop until the danger passes.

@NadiaWhittomeMP Causing chaos which is exactly what you’re doing is playing into farages hands. It’s beyond idiotic. I’m a Labour member you do not speak for me. If that chancer Wes runs, Mandelsons best mate, you’re giving power to reform

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.

@KarlTurnerMP Causing chaos. Support your government. Idiot

I have today issued a statement calling on the Prime Minister to resign. This is not something I do lightly. I have known and supported him for many years, but the Labour Party is losing the trust of the people we were elected to serve. Full statement below.

@RichardBurgon No, just stop, we don’t need chaos. People vote reform because they’re bombarded with disinformation on social media, they believe the lies, you think that’ll stop with another PM?

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.

@FredThomasUK Stupid stupid stupid. Now is not the time for chaos. I’m a Labour member and can’t believe you’re doing this.

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.

@dailybritainonx Yes

Would you?

@Pete_Js @CatherineWest1 Let’s campaign for her local party to replace her. I’d have no confidence in her if she was my MP. Plain STUPID

@CatherineWest1 No Catherine, the LOCAL election results, show that the LOCAL candidates, failed to inspire their LOCAL voters into believing in them. You would think someone in your position would understand this 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have listened to the Prime Minister's speech this morning. I welcome the renewed energy and ideas. However, I have reluctantly concluded that this morning’s speech was too little too late.

@CatherineWest1 Just stop it. Support the government and what it’s doing. I’m a Labour member and you don’t represent me.

The results last Thursday show that the PM has failed to inspire hope. What is best for the party and country now is for an orderly transition.

@CatherineWest1 You don’t speak for me, a Labour member. All you’re doing is playing into the hands of reform. Consentrate on supporting our government. Also sit down and SHUT UP

and may even continue in an international role in the future but for now I know I speak for more Labour people than just myself in wanting him to step aside as our Leader.

Across the country yesterday, so many hard working Labour Councillors lost their seats through no fault of their own. I want to thank them for their service and dedication. 🧵

@MichaelRosenYes I’m pretty sure the person on Didsbury West representing reform didn’t exist either as I couldn’t find anything about him..

@RobertJenrick You’d be in favour of the people selling samosas and bhajis paying though wouldn’t you.

Don’t let them eat cake! Just when you thought you’d heard it all from Labour, this happened… Labour run Bassetlaw District Council, which covers part of my constituency, is imposing a tax on people selling homemade cakes or fresh eggs from boxes at their front gates. They’ve set this absurd tax at an astonishing £1,007. Yes, you read that correctly, everyone who has the audacity to try to make a few quid from a bit of home baking, or offers boxes of fresh eggs, usually with an honesty box, has to pay Labour a stonking great fee for the privilege. As most people don’t even make £1,007 a year for doing this, presumably this is designed to end this harmless and in fact very endearing practice altogether. Honesty boxes, eggs, cakes, biscuits, sold at a farm gate or the end of the driveway in a rural village.. what could be more quintessentially English. Well, not under Labour. These people govern us as if they hate our country. To make the whole thing more absurd, the fine for failing to pay the £1,007 had been set at £1,000. So you would be better off not paying at all and get fined… I’ve written to Bassetlaw District Council to protest. Bassetlaw’s common sense Reform UK councillors are committed to reversing this idiocy if they take control of the council next year. Another reason to boot out Labour and back Reform UK. Has there ever been a more incompetent and out of touch group of people running our country than this Labour government and their town hall toadies?

@RobertJenrick I want people to pay a street trading license thank you. Otherwise anyone could put stuff outside to sell, they should also have all hygiene certification too, given the state of some peoples kitchens
