@connor_naismith @AndyBurnhamGM I'm a labour member. I'll be voting for Starmer.

We cannot continue to deny the political reality through procedure. We need a timetable for an orderly transition of leadership. A full and frank discussion about the future direction. @AndyBurnhamGM must be allowed to play a full part in that, if an opportunity arises.

@BethRigby Remove the whip, kick him out of the party and replace him immediately as health sec. I'm a labour member and can't believe he's done this I'll. definitely be voting to keep PM Starmer in position.

🚨Streeting resignation - "Having lost confidence in your leadership I have concluded it would be dishonourable and unprincipled" to remain in post - "Where we need vision, we have a vacuum" - "Where we need direction, we have drift" - "Leaders take responsibility but too often that has meant people falling on their swords" - "You also need to listen to your colleagues, including backbenches and the heavy handed approach to dissenting voices diminishes our politics" - On the elections: "There is no doubt that the unpopularity of this government was a major and common factor in our defeats across England, Scotland and Wales" - Streeting on "what comes next" for leadership - "It needs to be broad and it needs the best possible field of candidates" - "It is now clear you will not lead the Labour party into the next general election. Labour MPs and unions want the debate about what comes next to be a battle of ideas not personalities" "I am deeply saddened to be leaving government in this way"

@wesstreeting Enjoy being a back bencher!

@KarlTurnerMP @HarrietHarman @Keir_Starmer @AndyBurnhamGM Hope he's blocked again

Really? @HarrietHarman had previously stated that @Keir_Starmer was right to block @AndyBurnhamGM. Blocking Burnham is what led to the downfall of the PM. He should NEVER have been blocked.

@joncraig Nobody wants Wes Streeting as PM fgs. He's going to end up a back bencher in a few weeks.

I’m told govt whips believe: 1. Wes Streeting will make his move on Thursday, to avoid clashing with King’s Speech; 2. Andy Burnham doesn’t have MP ready to quit; 3. Besides 87 MPs who’ve publicly called for Sir Keir Starmer to go, same number privately want him to step down.

@tnewtondunn Whatever your thoughts on Starmer, he's much better than BJ & Truss , who were sheer embarrassments to the country on multiple levels.

However bad Keir Starmer is as PM (and he really is bad at it), there's a strong national security argument to keep him in place until June 2. That's the date industry now expects the government to publish its much-delayed Defence Investment Plan. Once a leadership contest is underway, the civil service will insist on suspending any decisions on it for the new PM - so the crucial job of re-building the UK's hollowed out defences will get pushed back yet again, to at least the Autumn and perhaps 2027. That piles more risk on already significant risk. As any serving senior officer will tell you, we are not safe. We'll be even less safe by then.

@peterkyle @steph_sejourne Rejoin us whilst you're there please. Get those red lines in the bin!

Rebuilding our relationship with Europe matters. I headed to Brussels today to meet with @steph_sejourne as we deepen UK-EU cooperation on our industrial strategy. A closer relationship with Europe benefits Britain - it creates jobs, strengthens trade and increases our security.

@GrahamSmyth Wake up Leeds FFS!!!

58 - Richarlison volleys over a glorious chance for a second. Ball went to the left, Bornauw fell over, pass goes to Richarlison and he gets it all wrong. 1-0 #lufc

@RobertJenrick You need to resign from public office.

We need a general election.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Leaving the EU was and always will be delusional*

Returning to the EU is delusional.

@RichardBurgon Richard, I'm a Leeds resident and labour voter but from your neighbouring constituency. If you were my MP, i wouldn't vote labour at the next election.

Lots of people are asking me what is going on with all the Labour leadership speculation. So I’ll say it publicly here. There appears to be an attempt to exploit, for their own ends, Catherine West’s understandable alarm over the catastrophic election results and the dire state the Labour Party is in. Their aim is to bounce the party into a snap leadership contest limited to people who sat in the Cabinet and stayed silent while this Government carried out the very policies that have done such enormous damage and been a gift to Reform. Labour cannot renew itself through a stitch-up by those responsible for the crisis we now face, including the danger of a Trump-style government. Keir must go. But we only get one chance to get this right. So he should set a timetable to stand aside, with a new leader in place by the ends of the year. This would allow for a proper democratic leadership contest with a full range of candidates and a serious debate about how Labour changes course, the policies needed to rebuild support and how we stop Nigel Farage getting the keys to Downing Street.

@KevinASchofield I don't want Starmer to resign. But those red lines are really not doing him any favours again. I want my freedom of movement back!! After it was taken from me without my consent.

Keir Starmer will vow to put Britain “at the heart of Europe” while sticking to his red lines on free movement and single market membership in make or break speech tomorrow morning. Labour MPs have warned that it must be a “game changer” to save the PM. But one says: “Even to save his job he can't say anything interesting.” huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/starmer-…

@SamCoatesSky Tell them to p off and thank him they have a job in the first place!

Catherine West needs 81 names There are 403 Labour MPs - a decent number of these privately do not want the PM to fight the next election West says she has 10. There are 16 who publicly want him gone, though not all want West to challenge But I’m aware of another group of more moderate MPs who are waiting until Keir Starmer delivers his speech on Monday and then are likely to add their names …. … if the cabinet has not “done its duty” and told him to step down first.

@TheDailyDraught It's Carling dressed in Spanish clothing

I don't understand how has Madri managed to infiltrate it's way into so many pubs across the UK

@PhilHay_ Any news????

The Athletic are rolling out the B team tonight. Hello Leeds.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg So glad we saved so much money from Brexit that ended up in people like you's pocket, Jacob. That extra kilo of foie gras isn't going to pay for itself is it?

Where would we find an extra £35 billion a year? Thank heaven we no longer belong to the EU.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg No thanks , I'm too busy washing my cat

If Britain gets closer to Europe, there will only be one outcome: poverty telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/1…

@TimesSport @mhardysport Hope he's got a new contract coming. Been one of our most important players this season. Keep going Brendan!

@Kris_Lufc7 Yep they've been very lucky to get wins on many occasions, elland road for a start. And I've watched them quite a bit this season. Looks like the bubble has burst. I expect them to be well in the mix for relegation next season.

Sunderland are in big trouble next season - not played well in any of the games I've watched this season and massively overperformed their underlyings. The leaked rumours of sacking RLB makes huge sense, same situation as Bournemouth massively upgrading on O'Neill with Iraola

@FootballFunnys It's definitely offside!!! Leeds have had these go against us many times. See Bamford against Palace as a prime example

Bournemouth have been absolutely robbed of a goal against Leeds tonight. How on earth is this offside?! What advantage is actually gained here.. 🤦🏼‍♂️
