WATCH: @KemiBadenoch annihilate Keir Starmer and the entire Labour Party in her response to the King's Speech 🔥
English

@Alison_S_Taylor Legally yes, you have a mandate because you won the election. But morally and politically, you've lost the country. It doesn’t matter what leader you have — your party needs to go. Call a General Election now. Do you think you’d win? We both know the answer.

I back the Prime Minster who was elected on a five year mandate to change, protect, defend, enrich our United Kingdom which suffered a pandemic hot on the heels of a divorce from our biggest trading partners. It’s wrong not to back the Leader. Just wrong. This is not the way to go about such matters. Keir needs supported by his team. Not have the knives turned on him.

@Alison_S_Taylor You would do well to remember you were elected on a protest vote.
Labour won 2024 GE with 9.71M votes — lowest for any post-war majority govt.
Compare with Conservatives:
13.97M (2019), 11.33M (2015).

I was in the room for @Keir_Starmer speech this morning. Based on what I saw and how it was delivered, I have only one conclusion.
Keir should stay in post.
Keir was absolutely in his element, the content of the speech shows that he understands the issues, the actions shows that after certain personnel departures we are now supercharging the right direction.
These elections were difficult, in Stevenage although we removed the leader of the Reform UK group from the council, we still lost 9 seats, which is a huge blow from winning 32/39 seats two years ago.
We didn’t do enough to convince the public things will get better, but we never will if we are embroiled in our own psychodrama.
It is understandable that MP’s right now are getting pressure put on them from councillors, activists and local party members, a lot of whom have been wiped out last weekend, or have close friends and colleagues who have lost their seats.
My message to them, is stay strong. If today is any indicator, were are on the right path & you should not put that in jeopardy.
Keir Starmer was elected to lead national renewal. If he takes the bold steps he outlined to change how government works, speak clearly about who Labour governs for and why, coupled with the pace of delivery already under way, a second term remains within reach.
Swapping leaders will not get us there. That is the clear to me.

@Keir_Starmer Imagine the country telling you you're not wanted, and you still won't go. You have no moral mandate.
English

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.

@FanFairAlliance @CMU @ChrisUnLimited They have far bigger fish to fry than lining the pockets of your paymasters. Promoter wealth is way down the list.

Thankyou @CMU @ChrisUnLimited for covering the #PutFansFirst campaign.
Government was rightly applauded last year for their plans to ban ticket touting.
But if you make a promise, you need to deliver on it!

@FanFairAlliance @WhichUK @lisanandy @cj_dinenage @DCMS @biztradegovuk @peterkyle @PeteWishart @JeffSmithetc @IanMurrayMP @CommonsCMS Nobody has ever died from not seeing Harry Styles. They do, however, from not being able to pay for their heating. Tickets are not part of the cost of living, they are completely non essential. The government should perhaps spend more time solving real problems.

Yesterday, @FanFairAlliance attended the launch of a @WhichUK manifesto to support consumers with the cost of living.
Great to see this recommendation included.
Come on @lisanandy!
Let's 'put fans first' and get this legislation into the King's Speech.

@PnuccO2 @Yuukura @hama_woods @AgingAnarchist No idea. But it isn't English. Trust me, I am English.

@john_maxwell6 @Yuukura @hama_woods @AgingAnarchist No, anche l’accento non è per nulla francese. Sicuramente non parlano una lingua neolatina

@PnuccO2 @Yuukura @hama_woods @AgingAnarchist I don't know what language they are speaking. But it isn't English.
English

@PnuccO2 @hama_woods @AgingAnarchist Aos 0:31 e 0:37 a da direita fala ‘ni hao’ com a mão tampando a boca. É bem claro distinguir quando se sabe o som dessa palavra em mandarim. E assim, inglês é uma língua universal, a pessoa pode ser de qualquer lugar. Mas pouco importa a nacionalidade, o foco é a indelicadeza.
