@johnmcdonnellMP All very true, John. But the Cabinet need at the very least to announce that change will now swiftly come, and not just parrot Starmer, who is utterly tone deaf to what is happening in the country. They need to make a statement tomorrow of understanding, acceptance and renewal.

5.If factions around Wes Streeting or Angela Rayner bounce party into a leadership election under the existing undemocratic rules & whilst individual candidates remain blocked it will just sow the seeds of increasing division & disillusionment playing into the hands of Reform 2/2

What’s happening in Labour Party: 1. Keir desperately trying to cling on. 2.Many MPs in shock & realising no chance in election if he stays. 3.Need for stability & so calls for real discussion & as smooth a transfer to new leader as possible. 4.Factions also considering coup 1/2

@KayBurley An admission that @Keir_Starmer completely lacks the experience, knowledge or wisdom to be the U.K. Prime Minister. Blatantly bringing in what he considers to be highly respected aid to get him through, but we need new, forward looking, dynamic action from Labour now, not this.

In my humble opinion, while both Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman are absolutely conviction politicians, this latest throw of the dice is merely rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic.

BREAKING: Keir Starmer has appointed Gordon Brown as his special envoy on global finance, at a time when international economy is deeply volatile. Former PM will advise Starmer on how global finance cooperation can help boost UK security and resilience, No 10 says.

@afneil Even Starmer must be regretting not letting Andy Burnham stand to become an MP, at least he’d have provided a credible and competent alternative.

There'll be a collective sigh of relief when Starmer goes. But brace yourself. What comes next could be much worse ANDREW NEIL mol.im/a/15536251

@ZackPolanski But taking on the monarchy doesn’t help the cause, it only reinforces the idea that the Greens aren’t for the masses. We might hear something today from the King that supports inclusion and environment, speaking over it just deepens division, it’s not progressive.

Oh GB News. Have a day off and enjoy a mince pie. How dare I talk positively about migration & refugee rights at this time of year that should be about *checks notes* good tidings and warm wishes. Tune in at 3pm to watch and judge for yourself. Merry Christmas everyone!

@ShabanaMahmood Suella Braverman issued similar, ridiculous, divisive, sound bites. Where is your substance? A headline with no content is utterly pointless. Stop thinking of snappy lines and start really considering what actually needs to happen to make a difference. Then publish something.

What utter nonsense that they have to go home to get extraction details! How grossly unfair! The cops just picking them off…with cameras set up to capture them as soon as they set foot, they don’t stand a chance…what’s the point??!! #hunted

@GoodwinMJ Deary me, Matt, what on earth has become of you?! Ranting and even taken to whitening your face, and perhaps blueing up your eyes…oooph! And none of the academic commentary, or evidence, that used to be vaguely interesting.

@KirstieMAllsopp @GerardK07867149 Farms produce food, they are not visitor attractions. Tourists go to Nat Trust and Wildlife Trusts etc which are not impacted upon. Don’t conflate issues. There will be no differences in inheritance for small farms, or farms with an actual value of less the £1m. Listen properly.

Rachel Reeves had fucked all farmers, she has destroyed their ability to pass farms on to their children, and broken the future of all our great estates, it is an appalling decisions which shows the government has ZERO understanding of the what matters to rural voters.

@SkyNews @KayBurley Dire reporting this morning @KayBurley. You’ve just had the transport secretary on and asked 2 questions about transport, all the rest focused on Johnson and Grey! The public are MORE interested in what is happening with public transport and new developments! Poor show, Kay.

@SkyNews Key word in this story is ‘worth’. He didn’t accept any money, he stayed at somebody’s house, at their invitation, which #skynews has calculated might cost £20k if it had been a hotel room - but it wasn’t. Who stays over at friends houses and thinks ‘this would have cost £x’?

Nothing new No ideas No serious announcements Vast amounts of rhetoric Almost no evidence of political understanding A smile vastly too smug for comfort And promises that amount to nothing at all That was Rachel Reeves today

Dale Vince, "I would welcome a wealth tax.. A rise in capital gains tax.. I've campaigned for both of these things because there are people in our country with more money, broader shoulders, and they pay less as a percent of income than ordinary workers do, that shouldn't be right" Christian Fraser, "There's a suspicion that a rich people would flee the country if there's a wealth tax" Dale Vince, "Very few rich people would leave.. And if they did, they're not the kind of people we want here" "If they're not willing to pay their fair share to live in this country, they should leave" Well said @DaleVince 👏
