@TrisOsborneMP @fergmiester2012 How about you ask if people want to get poor as a result?

@fergmiester2012 We will see. Not sure you’ve read the wider public mood.

This is the reason her party hasn’t recovered in polls. She knows the rise is largely due to the Iran war and wholesale costs; so do the public of course, and the market. And yet she persists in this puerile partisan gesture. Sleepwalking into irrelevance.

@TomK_Brit1993 @BrianAmbler2 Nope

@BrianAmbler2 Nope. Boris is far worse.

Boris Johnson was the worst Prime Minister in British history. No one else comes close.

@stateinwaiting @afneil Whataboutery

@afneil Who borrowed all the money pal? Think you will find the vast majority was borrowed by your Tory cronies! They then spaffed it away and almost bankrupted the UK ! Not complicated!

The UK borrowed another £24.3 billion in April, above the £20.9 billion forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility.  The ONS said the debt interest bill rose to £10.3 billion last month – the highest on record for April, which marks the start of the new financial year. The government is paying more than £100 billion a year to service its debts. Yet a cacophony of Labour and Green pols think we should borrow even more.

@theo54056442 @Alex_Stafford That doesn’t make sense

@Alex_Stafford All schools pay vat. Why is yours so special?

So, reduce VAT on theme parks, but add VAT on education. This Government's priorities are so warped

@chips4gravy @Alex_Stafford @JamesCleverly Explain why you think this is a subsidy?

@Alex_Stafford @JamesCleverly how is a tax subsidy for private education when the state system already depends on migrants for numbers beneficial. That’d be warped.

@BladeoftheS No. It’s being stolen by those unwilling to work.

Poverty is caused by billionaires in the UK the minimum wage would have to be about £30 an hour for you to be as well off in 2026 as you were in 1970. All that is being stolen by the bilionaires.

@bphillipsonMP Such lies. You came to power in July 24 and are claiming by the April YOU added 2,346 more teachers. Absolute nonsense. This is the Tories who delivered that.

New stats show we now have over 1,600 more teachers in our colleges & sixth forms. With the 2,300 more we have in our secondaries & special schools, Labour is on our way to recruiting 6,500 more expert teachers. We're turning the Tory tide on teacher recruitment & retention 📈

@TraderClip @LizWebsterSBF @statsjamie She says he’s misleading then just makes up a load of “facts” to demonstrate her made up facts are better than his. For these people it’s all about passport queues.

@LizWebsterSBF @statsjamie ‘Relative to where we would be’ is a complete made up impossible unknown, weak remainer platitude.

🚨 Starmer says Brexit made Britain poorer. But the GDP data tells a more awkward story. Since the Brexit vote: UK real GDP: +12.1% Germany real GDP: +6.0% Britain is not booming. Nobody serious should pretend it is. But Europe’s supposed economic engine has grown at barely half the UK’s rate. So why is Starmer’s big answer still more Europe? This wasn’t a reset. It was a relapse: more Brexit blame, more Brussels, more excuses. No wonder voters are walking away from Labour.

@McardleTrevor What gibberish

Labour is a success: 24 months of continuous growth 6 interest rate cuts UK stock market outperforming US for 1st time in 13 years 70 000 illegal immigrants deported 40% of Tory hotels closed 456 000 children out of poverty 2 largest increases ever in State Pension & more

@MarinaPurkiss @richardosefton Stockpiling

I don’t even need to share this… Cos obviously it will be all over our news 🙄

@Fitzy__07 It might be a handball but it’s not clear enough to change the infield decision

Celtic have released the Unique Angle of the handball 😂

@Jennyfurfuls The only reason I want him to stay is the danger of what follows. In terms of him, he doesn’t know how to unite the party or stand behind his convictions. Labour doesn’t have a common goal.

He's not perfect. He's so much better than the last 14 years. Leave him alone.

@KayBurley What policies were undoubtedly some of the best??

I have never been a fan of Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. Top politicians need to realise it’s not just the message, but how you sell it that cuts through to the public psyche. His policies may well have been among the best for the country and some undoubtedly were but Sir Keir never seemed able to land them with the public. Voters rarely reward policies they don’t emotionally connect with. Yesterday’s reset speech didn’t help. What exactly was he trying to tell us. Now, in what could be the death throes of his tenancy in No 10 after less than two years at the top, I do find myself feeling for him. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps and reached not one but two of the highest offices in the land. So, as the wannabes circle the Cabinet table this morning, positioning for what may come next, spare a thought for a man who genuinely wanted to make a difference, but never quite mastered the art of making his case. Fair?

@Keir_Starmer When Boris knew when the game was up

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

@dubbihg If you’d tightened any of them the same as the last, it would have worked

Very interesting

@GraceGrac56799 @narindertweets She’s never listened to anyone. She just talks over them and then dismisses their opinion. She’s a prime example of the modern social media voter.

@narindertweets Narinder, as one of your followers,we need critical thinkers, you have to listen to all sides. I,for the first time,didn't go to the polls,don't see anyone bringing the country together but hopefully when the General Election comes along,everyone has seen the right from the wrong

If you voted Reform....my friendship with you ends.

@EnglandThisIs The ignorance here is astonishing. They say voters are uneducated or aren’t doing their research then they follow it up with made up rhetoric.

Compilation of TikTok users crashing out over Reform today

@LeonardBriscoe3 Labour mentality in a nutshell. They don’t agree with us therefore we’ll call them fickle or racist or far right or stupid.

Absolutely, it has been a difficult day but we must remember this message, we cannot let a few fickle voters derail our vital work. They’ll thank us in the end. x.com/UKLabour/statu…

@moving_charlie This is how the Greens think. They simply have no clue about how the world works.

It’s like he’s saying “I don’t understand basic economics or markets and I expect landlords to provide homes at a loss” Unbelievable.

@dave_derrick @Keir_Starmer It’s about all he’s good at

@Keir_Starmer How can you misread the room so often? We don't want faster, we want reverse.

These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities. People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future. I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.
