The test of any Prime Minister is: do you leave your country in a better place than you found it?
I’m proud that the answer is yes.

@vcg239 I think compared to Trump he comes out very well

@forwardnotback back then I thought Dubya was a bit of a laughing stock. Is it my age, or is it the current quality of politicians that makes him seem not so bad, now?

All the fuss about Andy Burnham not wearing a shirt and tie all the time reminds me of the fuss when a prime minister appearing shirt sleeves rolled up, open collar and no jacket
Chinos might’ve been involved
The last time remember someone complaining about a leader …

@LucyHunterB Thank you ❤️

@forwardnotback I’ve been meaning to say, after everything, it’s so cheering to see you back on here getting on with life.

@boopbetty1000 It filled a bit of a vacuum and got people talking about him without talking about policy

@forwardnotback Why did he feel the need to make an announcement?

And of course “call me Dave”

@GavinCurnow @TomABacon Of people learned to ignore him or not engage with him on social media things would be a lot better
Sadly too many still believe his posts are 100% serious

Trolling and being deliberately provocative
Any UK politician who responds should be sacked

@forwardnotback @bbclaurak @UKLabour Sure it was just a slip of the tongue at what she actually meant to say was " the people who pay our wages "
English
Having watched @bbclaurak my only comment because almost everything we are hearing is speculation the only thing I would say or ask is can @UKLabour spokespeople please drop the use of “ordinary people”
It sound both condescending and implies a hierarchy or that the politician
English
@forwardnotback Quick question.
When is the changeover between PMs? I heard September.
English
He cannot announce any cabinet or other ministers today
He isn’t prime minister until the king invites him to form a government
After that he leaves the palace and starts informing the king who he wants in which position
The king then formally approves and appoints ministers

LATEST New Prime Minister Andy Burnham's Cabinet reshuffle will start tomorrow afternoon. No announcements are due today, I am told, and there is no comment on speculation. So ... here is what I think could happen. It sounds like Lord Hermer, Steve Reed, Liz Kendall, Emma Reynolds and Peter Kyle are among those leaving Government. They will be told first tomorrow afternoon. Then the appointments start. Best guesses are Shabana Mahmood (Chancellor), Lucy Powell (DPM and Local Government), Louise Haigh (Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster), Angela Rayner (Health), Jonathan Reynolds (Business), Anneliese Midgley (Chief Whip) and Pat McFadden (staying at Work and Pensions). Plus moves for the Miliband brothers. Ed moves to Foreign and David is back in some form. It's not clear what is happening to David Lammy or Rachel Reeves. One idea - why not put Reeves in defence? She was at the unveiling of the Defence Investment Plan and will be best placed to lobby for the extra £5billion needed for it. All of this could change if some ministers refuse to move. Tune in to all of the political drama from dawn to dusk tomorrow with me and my colleagues on @GBNEWS.

Laura’s a great journalist and will cope just fine.
steve richards@steverichards14
Laura and some of her colleagues will not be able to cope…their points of reference are Blair/ Cameron with a bit of Johnson and Farage. They will be be bewildered and - I suspect- will follow the newspapers for guidance…which makes other forms of communication more important.

Modelling non-factionalism means not briefing against both Shabana Mahmood and Ed Miliband. Not picking your fighter and being deaf to attacks against the other one.
