@RobertJenrick Idiot. Conman.

246,000 Brits left last year. Net, 136,000 went. A city the size of Watford. Many are entrepreneurs, investors, small businesspeople. It’s the Starmer Exodus. Reform will Bring Brits Back.

Net migration down 82%. Net migration is now at 171,000, down from a high of 944,000 under the Conservatives. This Government is restoring order and control to our borders.

Net migration has fallen 82%. I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering. I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.

@bhatti_saqib Next time check your facts and engage brain before spouting political manure

While teacher numbers drop, SEND families face uncertainty and Labour's new education plans are set to overwhelm classrooms, the Education Secretary has found time to film a video with Gemma Collins, at the taxpayers' expense. I've asked how much this frivolous video has cost 👇

Growth higher than forecast, borrowing down, and now inflation falling further than expected. This Labour government has the right economic plan.

@henrywinter Grinding out a title win but wouldn’t cross the road to watch them play. The new Athletico Madrid

To think that some people felt that Arsenal were bottlers. More like battlers. They ground out another win, this time over a dogged Burnley, to take them to within touching distance of a first Premier League title in 22 years. If not quite the Invincibles – Arsene Wenger's record-breakers were a better side – this team of Mikel Arteta’s are certainly the Indomitables. They keep facing down adversity, injury, challenges, obdurate opponents. They are not always the greatest to watch, unless Bukayo Saka is weaving his way into the area, twisting left-backs inside out, but they are supremely resilient. Players stood up to counted under pressure. David Raya in goal. Gabriel at centre-back. Declan Rice, the best player in the league this season, shielding the defence and driving Arsenal forward. Viktor Gyokeres, maligned initially, now celebrated for his 14 goals in this league campaign. Arsenal’s spine has been strong. Arteta rotated well. Kai Havertz started and scored against Burnley. Arteta subbed well. Havertz removed quickly after risking a red with a dangerous challenge. So close now. Arsenal will deserve this title for holding their nerve when so many questioned them. #AFC

The IMF upgrading its growth forecasts for the UK and backing our fiscal strategy is yet more proof that this Government has the right economic plan.

@CFC_Dubois Actually not true. In recent seasons 36pts have been enough to stay up.

Spurs are so lucky West Ham are this bad, any other season and they’re in the championship

@russellquirk Didn’t take you long to make a fool of yourself as deputy leader. For someone who’s a ‘PR guy’ this is ultra stupid. But not surprising.

Next time you have an issue, call me. You don’t need to go telling tales and consuming officer time with tittle-tattle

Reform UK's new Deputy Leader on @Essex_CC @russellquirk has only been in the job 5 minutes and he's already told a whopping lie. He's posted this on Facebook. The problem is, the only Labour councillor on that council wasn't at the meeting, and they've been elected since 2017, so they would already know the answer to this question. No wonder he has answers turned off.

@LScordis @russellquirk @reformexposed He can’t help himself

@russellquirk @reformexposed No you haven't, you've lied repeatedly. Honesty and integrity are part of the Nolan Principles every cllr is held to and you've failed in the first week multiple times.

Hi Russell, considering I am the only Labour Councillor on the authority and I was not at the induction (as I have been here 9 years), this is a complete lie and a breach of standards @reformexposed

@glabsandra @cathynewman @TimesRadio Noooooooooooooooooooooo

NEW: John McDonnell has told @cathynewman he hopes Andy Burnham reinstates Jeremy Corbyn as a Labour MP and he’d “raise it with him” personally. @TimesRadio

@teniolatime Nothing to do with your mate not playing - would have made no difference. Credit should be given to the players who got them so far.

@Nick169239 Looool yeah and that’s why you won play offs 🤣 cheers Nick

STATEMENT SIGNING 🔥🔥🔥 That’s what happens when you don’t play your BEST player in a semi final play offs and final play off game @BrentwoodTownFC 😒 🤷‍♂️

@ColU_Official When admin think they’re being clever but everyone thinks they’re a pain in the butt! #gettingboringnow

Kinell. Hire him @UKLabour

@labourlewis You don’t have the interests of the Labour Party at heart. And don’t pretend otherwise. It’s all about ego and jealousy. Waiting lists down, immigration down, economy growing and you’re still trying to bring down the PM because you don’t like him. Go and join Polanski or Corbyn.

I know the news Andy Burnham has a route back to Westminster will divide opinion. So, before anything else, I want to speak plainly – to Labour members and voters, to those who have left us, and to anyone on the centre-left, whether you vote Green, Lib Dem, or are simply looking for a politics that hasn't given up on you. Last week's local election results were, for many of us, existential. Not disappointing. Not a setback. Existential. Look across Europe and beyond at what happens to social democratic parties that refuse to step outside the economic orthodoxy of the last forty years – the one that hollowed out our public services, privatised what was ours, drove inequality to indecent levels, and cleared the ground for the authoritarian right to march into. That is the path we are on. Keir Starmer has refused to see it, and the country cannot afford another general election spent finding out the hard way. So let me be direct. The Prime Minister should set out a timeline for an orderly transition. I have said this before. I say it again now because the stakes have changed. Reform is not a protest – it is a project. And it will not be beaten by a Labour Party that mistakes managerial caution for strategy. As regards Andy, I want to set down here that I do not see him as some kind of messiah. Far from it. As someone who has been around frontline politics for more than twenty years, he has made his fair share of mistakes. But for the last ten years he has been a serious, grounded, and effective Mayor of Greater Manchester. The party and the country need their strongest players on the pitch, and he has a great deal to offer at a moment when the national stage has rarely mattered more. I hope the NEC will listen to the overwhelming view of the Cabinet, the PLP, the membership, and the unions, and let Andy stand. And I hope and believe the people of Makerfield will send him back to Parliament. But that is not a given. We know Reform will throw everything at this by-election. We must do the same and then some. Reform have spent a year being told they are inevitable. Makerfield is where we find out whether that is true. Every advance has a limit. This is where we set it. Millions of people, including my constituents in Norwich South, need this government to succeed. They need housing, working public services, secure jobs, water and energy that serves them rather than extracts from them. That work is not finished. But the honest truth is that stopping Reform and rebuilding the country is bigger than any one party. It will take a progressive politics willing to listen, willing to cooperate where the public interest demands it, and willing to drop the tribal habits that got us here. The country is ahead of us on this. It is time we caught up. Makerfield is one of many places where Labour has lost trust. It is an area Andy knows and has lived in for many years. If selected, he will work hard to win that trust back and make the case for a Labour Party worth voting for again. That case has to be made not only to people who once voted Labour, but to everyone who believes the answer to Reform is a serious, democratic, social alternative – not a paler imitation of the politics that created the problem. This by-election is not about one seat. It is a test of whether Labour understands the moment we are in. No single party is going to stop Reform on its own. The progressive majority in this country is real – but it is scattered across Labour, the Greens, the Lib Dems, nationalists, independents, and millions of people who have stopped voting altogether. Our job is not to demand they all come back to us. It is to earn the right to work with them, on shared ground, for a shared future. To former Labour voters: come and talk to us again. To Green and Lib Dem voters: we are not enemies. To Labour members and MPs: this is the fight. Let's get on with it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

NHS sees biggest improvement in waiting times in 16 years channel4.com/news/nhs-sees-…

Just as Farage is getting a fraction of scrutiny and facing a bit of accountability for his millions of dodgy donations, Labour MPs decide to bury it with resignations and leadership speculation. The words “piss up” and “brewery” come to mind. What a fucking shambles.

What is hilarious is Economy is up, NHS improving, things are factually getting better but Labour want to get of their own Prime Minister as he is not improving things... 🫠 The level of electoral self sabotage Labour are committing here boggles the mind.
