@boringscience1 The trouble with some of the knobs who drive cars is that they are no good with knobs.

Calmer with Starmer.
He just gets on with the job.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
We’ve just extended the fuel duty cut for the rest of the year. This will support millions of drivers and families across the country. My Labour government is focused on what matters to you: cutting the cost of living.
English
@KateWilton1 Because neither of those things has anything remotely to do with him. The only lever an economy has on inflation is setting interest rates which is an independent function of the Bank of England. And because Starmer is not, in any sense, a leader. He’s a bureaucrat at best.

Remind us why we need to get rid of the PM?

Conclusion of this thread: Checking your mirrors is redundant for many UK drivers, hence the appalling state of driving skills

Drivers turning left must yield to cyclists going straight ahead. See the Highway Code before you get back in your cab

In the face of serious injury or death, it’s amazing how their sense of entitlement outweighs their common sense. 🤦🏼♂️🚴♀️

@Heidi_Labour It looks cheap and nasty. Reminiscent of council house door paint in Hull in the 1970s.

I am looking forward to saying more about this later this week...👀🇬🇧🚆

I should add that Makerfield has had a Labour MP since the constituency was created in 1983.
It’s been run by a Labour council since it fell within the Wigan local authority in 1974.
It falls within the ambit of the Greater Manchester mayor, who is also Labour (that would be you — for now).
There was a Labour government between 1997 and 2010 (of which you were a part) with huge majorities.
These is a Labour government in power now, with an even bigger majority.
So it’s a bit odd to blame Makerfield’s woes on a PM who left office in 1990.
I understand she left a legacy you don’t like. But you and your party have had more than enough time to clean it up. Why would more time make any difference?

Nice to hear from you, Andy. Thanks for the by election. We live for such things. I’m in no doubt life is tough for lots of folk in Makerfield. But it’s hardly a poster child for urban squalor/deprivation. Thatcher left power in 1990. She was followed by seven years of unThatcher Major and 13 years of Labour government, of which you were a part. So it’s quite a stretch to blame her for any continuing woes. Unless we blame Labour for failing to put anything right. On the other hand the houses you were walking past were bought by the tenants under Thatcher’s right to buy scheme, which has given them some pride in place and some wealth they once could only have dreamt of accumulating. I assume your pledge to ‘renationalise housing’ does not include taking these homes back into public ownership ... even if that would constitute a proper, radical reversal of the Thatcherism you’re (some what bizarrely) campaigning against.
English
@afneil @cassisnouveau @AndyBurnhamGM is stuck on the 1980s. What did Tony Blair and Gordon Brown do when they were in power then and for a lot longer than you lot will be even if you are elected. @UKLabour has never been elected when it has lurched to the left. See Michael Foot.

@afneil You need to get out of London, Andrew. You’ve clearly got no idea how much people here are struggling. And, yes, a lot of it can be traced back to Margaret Thatcher.

A man of substance!
A man who stood up and put his country before his career
A man who has made a major impact on the world stage while being targeted by the Right at home
A proud man, an honest man
He is Sir Keir Starmer and we need him to continue his work

RFK Jr hasn't said a word about the Ebola outbreak.
Normally I would expect the US Health Secretary to have SOMETHING to say about a global health incident.
But in this case, it's probably just as well
Remember this is a man who still isn't convinced germs cause disease..

Those who call people who report drivers on their phone a ‘grass’, tell that to the victim’s family.
Kent Police (UK)@kent_police
A lorry driver who was on a video call as he caused a motorist’s death on the M20, has been jailed for 11 years. Zvonko Tomisa was found to have used his phone multiple times leading up to the fatal incident. Read more here: kent.police.uk/news/kent/late…

This was quite the most unpleasant and nasty driver behaviour that I caught in 2025. I thought her behaviour was really shocking.

@PhilMyers53 Hilarious as usual. It’s male stale and pale old-fashioned Labourites who are making the party completely unelectable.

@geekgoddess2024 A lesson in how to lose the next election. @UKLabour has never made itself electable by lurching to the left and raising taxes. The pips are already squeaking. They might as well ask Jeremy Corbyn back.

@CrimeLdn Pleased to see the staff at least trying to stop these scum. When attempting to apprehend shoplifters staff should have (a) complete immunity from prosecution for assault when apprehending shoplifters (b) full employment protection and (c) financial rewards for doing so.

@seanpaulday @piersmorgan Who would you vote for? I would have thought you were a natural fit for Reform. You are right wing, anti-Islam, anti-immigration and a cabbie.
English
The problem is that the “parliamentary” model no longer seems fit for purpose.
Whoever ends up in power, there’s likely to be turmoil and unrest. And if people think a Reform government would somehow calm tensions, they’re seriously mistaken.
I don’t know what the answer is, but perhaps the system has become so hollowed out that only a complete collapse, followed by rebuilding from the ground up, will force meaningful change.
English
Given the ridiculous volume of Prime Ministers that Britain’s endured in recent years, I think it should now be law that if a PM quits or is forced out during his/her term, it automatically triggers a new general election. That might concentrate their minds to do a better job.

@neiljohnson1974 No great news. This is for the common good.

@KarlTurnerMP @AndyBurnhamGM Will he let you back in though? Great performance on HIGNFY BTW.

That’s why @AndyBurnhamGM will bring a different approach to government. For the many, not the few!
