1. Willfully ignoring the pedo protection, 2. Victimising and prosecuting veterans. 3. Ignoring and denying grooming gangs 4. War against the elderly with fuel allowance scrappage. 5.Calling everyone that doesn't agree with immigration as racist and far right. 6. Absolutely pathetic response to Southport stabbings. The list goes on and on.

Legitimate question, no agenda. I genuinely want to understand - why do people seem to dislike Kier Starmer so much? I see a very smart guy, with a good moral code, a short time into the job (in the grand scheme) just getting on with it. Is it just that he’s not BIG personality?

@zatzi He’s done a deal with Andy

Please explain to me what benefit there is to Wes Streeting in not challenging Keir now. Not resigning makes him look weak. And it makes Andy Burnham/ Rayner/ Miliband more likely to win. What am I missing?

@MatthewStadlen He’s an obvious dud better to replace him asap most of the country for some reason think he’s evil

It’s not difficult to see how this plays out if the Prime Minister is forced to resign. First, Labour infighting played out in public. Then the new PM greeted with frenzied calls for a General Election by Reform MPs and their cheerleaders, egged on by those in the media who have been helping to stir the movement against Starmer. Madness.

@westhamtransfer @premierleague That’s so corrupt

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?! YOU ARE FUCKING CORRUPT @premierleague

@MittensOff @RachelTaylorMP He’s a dud better to move on asap

@RachelTaylorMP Listen to Preet Kaur Gill, she appears to be far more sensible than those like you in the minority, "Calm down, unite, and get on with the job".

My statement on the local election results.

@EssexPR He won’t resign

By 9pm tonight, more than enough MPs will have called for Starmer to go, and that allows Cabinet ministers to make their move with ‘cover’… or with confidence that it is the will of the Party. KEIR STARMER IS FINISHED

@TheFootyFeed Is that the same Gabriel who head butted halland?

A new angle shows Gabriel PULLING Pablo's arm into his own goalkeeper to create the foul that won Arsenal the Premier League 🤝💪

@Mrjamieohara1 Having Lego haircut is a crazy decision in its self

Rice to full back seems like a crazy decision

@mikegardner_wb @StayFree2030 “Sugar coat” 100% in the first 30 seconds

Let’s get our word bingo cards ready for Starmer’s 43rd relaunch speech tomorrow. Mine has these: Toolmaker Change Renewal Fixing the foundations 14 years £22 billion black hole Far right Division Reform Farage Not our war Brexit Breakfast clubs Lifting children out of poverty

@Gavin2339989492 @Peston Weak labour as usual he’s a dud get rid of him asap

@Peston So they want to replace him almost 3 years in and cut into any time they have to change direction under a new leader? Sounds familiar. Does it account for what happens when something else goes wrong?

My unscientific weekend poll of Labour MPs and government ministers is that Keir Starmer will be replaced as their leader and the country’s prime minister “by the end of the year”. They also say that an immediate defenestration and snap leadership election should be avoided if possible, for two reasons. First, the party needs to have a debate about its future direction and what could be a “big story of hope for Britain” they could coalesce around and sell to voters Second, the leadership change should be orderly, respectful and likely to yield a stable outcome. This means, they say, that the process needs to be long enough to allow Andy Burnham the opportunity to resign as mayor of Greater Manchester and contest a by-election. Which is not to say they all want Burnham as Britain’s next prime minister. Some do. Some don’t. What it means is they fear he and his supporters would never cease to lobby to be Labour leader, and therefore no new leader would be secure, unless Burnham was given the opportunity to win a leadership contest or crash and burn. “If Andy feels he is blocked again, any new leader will be toast before the next election,” one senior MP said to me. And to give Burnham the rope he wants, the leadership contest has to be delayed till the autumn, say his friends and foes. I have two other pieces of intelligence, or perhaps more properly unintelligence. No MP or and minister is able to explain to me how this “orderly” transition to a new leader would actually transpire, if the PM were to dig in and refuse to leave - which right now Starmer shows every sign of doing. There is a chance that the cabinet would unite against him and collectively make him an offer, to go with dignity on a set timetable, that he could not refuse. Ministers are as we speak talking to each other about just such a scenario. But that would be to believe they are capable of sublimating their individual personal ambitions and enjoyment of high office for what they will see as a nebulous greater good. Most of us don’t need to consult an AI superbrain to attach the appropriate probability to ministerial turkeys voting for Christmas. So tomorrow’s 49th relaunch speech by the PM is both profoundly important and trivially unimportant. If it is an absolute car crash then the consensus of MPs and ministers that Starmer can stay a few more weeks and months will evaporate, and the accidental rebel Catherine West would secure her 81 nominations to be the stalking horse challenger. Starmer would be fighting for his political life. But I have been briefed to expect a speech that shows contrition, that Starmer “gets it”, but that it is too soon for him to come up with a bold and unifying new vision for the country, not least because he avowedly hates doing “the vision thing”. In other words, the speech will probably be a bit of a “meh”, neither one thing or another, neither hastening his exit or cancelling it. Which, possibly, for Starmer, in his current dire straits, would be a win.

@Yorkiebadger1 @TaliFraser Not a national party anymore need a deal with reform

@TaliFraser You are being too negative. Last year we won, what, something like 35 percent of the seats we were defending? This year, 60 percent? Upward momentum.

I’ve tried to make a bit of sense of the Tories + these local results so far … 🧨Even w London wins — which were necessary for a positive story — there is concern in LOTO about how Reform could weaponise it … 👀BUT it leaves hopes for the mayoralty (read for names LOTO have floated), inc a TV star My latest | @ConHome ⬇️ conservativehome.com/2026/05/08/the…

@Sargon_of_Akkad Carl future Hitchens Benjamin

Reform and Greens are underperforming.

@vortexEire @Heccles94 Irish

@Heccles94 Reform will make gains, spend 3 years engaged in corruption, fraud and incompetence. Reform dissolved before the general election and Farage jailed for taking a £5m bribe.

And it begins. Predictions?

@arielhelwani Disgusting should be stripped

Khamzat kicks Sean. Hard to say where it landed, but it definitely landed

@aobrienfansite Tough bends

How deceptive racing can be at times 2 furlongs from home Illinois cruising and cantering looks like the winner Jan vigorously pumped along not really making any progress

@PoliticoTeacher @MrsFoxtrotwhisk @ZackPolanski lol more millionaires

@MrsFoxtrotwhisk @ZackPolanski I think they could under Miliband/Burnham.

Minutes after polls close, Number 10 is briefing of a "reset" and a pivot to the left. This is what supporting and voting Green does - it holds a flame to their feet.

@Sargon_of_Akkad @RusGarbageHuman @kingkhieu Rupert is just an 80s slop Tory millionaire he ain’t got the minerals

@RusGarbageHuman @kingkhieu Please do, I bet his response is hilarious.

Woke leftists for Reform.

@Jack__boro @YuteSpod @northernsoulftm Stopping? Reverse !

@YuteSpod @northernsoulftm You’re very naive if you think stopping immigration will solve all our problems. What reform policies do you like except for immigration?

Each to their own but if you are voting for the Greens then your off ya tits imo

@kellard_ ✂️

Didn’t fuck about did they 👀

@parodystarmer @GBPolitcs @Moreincommon_ You do realise most people arnt on benefits

@GBPolitcs @Moreincommon_ birmingham's social services are already stretched thin not sure how they'd cope with reduced benefits and potentially more demand for council services

🚨NEW: A bombshell poll has projected Reform UK to win +47 seats in Birmingham city council tomorrow [@Moreincommon_]
