@MirrorPolitics @wesstreeting No journalism just political hacking by the Mirror . King Charles & Starmer signed decree in Oct 2025 - were you asleep at the news desk or plotting with Haigh for Starmer’s Downfall 👀👀

Megyn Kelly is a vile creature.

What is it? ... it's Sir Keir Starmer's policies sir, dozens of them. Jesus what shall we do? Don't panic sir I recognise a chappy from the north, he's grabbing them all and stuffing them in his pockets.

Let us put LabourList’s claim under some proper mathematical scrutiny. Labour has roughly 350,000 members. This survey questioned just 812 people, equivalent to approximately 0.23 per cent of the membership. Of those, around 666 respondents produced the figure behind the headline that “82 per cent of Labour members” believed Keir Starmer was right to resign. But these were not 812 members selected randomly from the official Labour Party membership. They were LabourList readers who identified themselves as Labour members and chose to participate. That is a self selecting sample drawn from the audience of one political publication. Even with statistical weighting, that fundamental problem remains. Weighting can adjust for age, sex, region and previous voting behaviour, but it cannot reliably correct for the political attitudes, motivations or biases that led somebody to read LabourList and complete its survey in the first place. Had 812 members been selected randomly from the full membership, the conventional margin of error would be roughly plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. But that calculation only applies to a genuinely representative random sample. It does not magically turn a self selected readership survey into a ballot of the Labour Party. There is also an obvious problem with the headline. The poll did not establish what 82 per cent of Labour’s 350,000 members believe. It established what 82 per cent of a weighted sample of 812 participating LabourList readers said. That may be of interest, but it is not the settled verdict of the Labour membership, and it should not be presented as though it were. At best, it is a snapshot of one publication’s participating readership. At worst, it is a narrowly sourced survey being inflated into a much broader political claim. A more honest headline would have been: “82 per cent of LabourList readers surveyed said Starmer was right to resign.” That is what the data actually supports. Anything beyond that is interpretation, not mathematical fact.

@wesstreeting @andyburnham @MScroghamMP When are you resigning? Is Healey resigning at the same time? Burnham said you won't get the money for Defence you both wanted the last time you both resigned for that very reason.

@oldishbird1 @LBC @lewis_goodall It’s not his policy platform. It’s already been decided at the election that Starmer won. I don’t oppose the policies, I oppose how he’s claiming them as his own rather than Labour’s whilst negating the last 2 years of hard work delivering

@100glitterstars Such a betrayal

To think those anti Starmer briefings that came from Scotland, Wales and England, that continued for over a year, and had a severe impact on Starmers personal ratings, all came from within Labour. All rewarded by Burnham If ever there was a good reason to be angry, this is it.

I second this. Thank you @Keir_Starmer 🙏🌹

Difference betw @Keir_Starmer & @andyburnham: In the 2020 Labour leadership contest Louise Haigh chaired Nandy’s campaign. Starmer won but didn't punish her. He made her shadow NI & Transport Secs. then Transport Sec in govt. Burnham sacked Starmer supporters from govt.

How embarrassing .. 🙈 He was sitting on a pee pad .. ouch

Trump was found liable for defaming E. Jean Carroll Now his DOJ is asking the Supreme Court to help him avoid the consequences Once again, the DOJ is being used as Trump’s personal law firm instead of an institution that serves the American people 👇 -TN yahoo.com/news/politics/…

Another day, another Community Note for Andrew Tate. This one is especially satisfying.

The same Diane Abbott who wrote that Jewish people (6 million killed in extermination camps) have never experienced the same racism as black people? Is @andyburnham bringing back antisemites into Labour?

@Imogenlemon02 Not only is he air brushing out Starmers last 2 years and the Members But now hes airbrushing out the Labour Party itself

I think a lot of people have missed this. Until the police investigation in February last year, Reform UK’s financial structures were all tied up with Cottrell and his Montenegro base bylinetimes.com/2026/07/23/pos…

Looks a lot like John Healey's excuse for resigning was not that big a deal for him after all. Funny that.

Er…. Not sure that’s how it’s done mate
