@hol40900 That’s the whole point, it’s about indigenous people of many nations being replaced by a coordinated influx of 3rd world people that want to dominate rather than integrate. We of shared values

Tommy welcomes "the French girls" – flagged as "foreign agitators" entering the UK. Meanwhile, you claim two‑tier policing. But you're the one celebrating foreign nationals joining your rally. The irony writes itself. 🇫🇷🇬🇧

@DPJHodges Happy for you to give me a counter argument, but not sure that fits. If Reform win that byelection, I think Starmer will be blamed. It will be even more evidence he has made Labour completely unelectable. It might stop Andy, but it will unify the party even more against him.

Still not entirely clear what Nigel Farage's message is going to be in Makerfield. Having spent the past month saying to everyone who will listen "Vote Reform to get rid of Starmer!!!" how does he now say "Vote Reform to save Starmer!!!".

I am a Labour party member and am not going to vote for Andy Burnham Wes StreetIng or anyone else. I am going to vote for PM Starmer because he won a landslide victory under two years ago & needs at least another two years to demonstrate economic and political success.

I think it’s the worst thing Labour could do right now, there’s no reason to panic over some adverse polling less than two years into a ten year project - and some of what we’re seeing is more opportunism than panic - but if there is to be a leadership contest my first choice for the job would be Keir, that’s who I’ll back. The NHS has been battered for 14 years by Tory neglect and underfunding. Just as things are starting to turn a corner, Wes decides to walk away from a job he’s actually good at. Because he’s lost confidence apparently. Hard to square that with his talk of being proud to fight in the trenches with Keir at the general election. When the going gets tough and all that…... People around Ed Miliband have been briefing that he’s urged Keir to set a timetable to walk away - unhelpful enough to say it - worse to leak it to the press. Ed is seen as a potential contender, I’m not convinced. A few weeks ago,  he told the country he would finally break the link, the market mechanism that drives our energy bills sky-high in a crisis - the following week he announced the details and he did not break the link or even weaken it. Ed misled the country in my view and the Prime minister. Keir's top team should be standing behind him right now - and not with knives in their hands. How about some policy ideas? This whole leadership circus is a massive distraction from the job, not just at a time of global crisis but at a time when the people of Britain are making clear they want more change, they want to feel the change in their lives. The answer to that, some seem to think - is to have a new leader. That’s a delusion and often enough a conceit, sold to us on the premise it’s in the national interest or the party’s interest - when the truth is much closer to home. Labour has a job to do and a mandate to do it. Let’s get on with it.

@Liam__pac1 @DuxVul @JuliaHB1 I’d rather have world class programme managers in office to deliver change than career politicians…but they may not be good at “politics”. So maybe have the career politicians do the schmoozing

Today’s strong growth figures show the Government has the right economic plan. The choices I have made as Chancellor mean our economy is in a stronger position as we deal with the costs of the war in Iran. Now is not the time to put our economic stability at risk.

Perhaps the beginning of the end? Nigel Farage is facing a formal investigation by the parliamentary standards watchdog over a £5m gift from the crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.

With this Labour Government, Britain has seen inflation come down, six interest rate cuts and borrowing fall. The PM’s steady leadership means we are better able to protect families, support businesses, work with allies and face global challenges.

@afneil The honest truth is that is if a Party or potential PM had an idea that would pay off all the debt in short time (by some miracle), the bond markets would react badly and they wouldn’t get in. It will take decades of surplus to gradually pay it down

This is economic ignorance of a high degree, even for my old mate Diane. If you don’t want to be ‘dominated’ by the bond markets then don’t borrow £3 trillion from them. Be honest with the people and explain how your idea of socialism will entail EVERYBODY paying a shed load more in tax. If you can’t do that then you will be in hock to the bond markets. It’s as simple as that.
Novara Media@novaramedia

"If the British government is going to be completely dominated by the bond market, MPs might as well go home." Diane Abbott told Cathy Newman on Sky News that whoever replaces Keir Starmer as prime minister must go through a "properly organised selection process", regardless of any "hissy fit" made by the bond markets. When this provoked laughter from Newman and eye rolling from former Conservative cabinet minister Gillian Keegan, @HackneyAbbott argued that there's no point in having a parliament if the financial sector always has the final word.

@helloKi30596224 Sorry to hear about your daughter. But fear not. Reform will not do any with the NHS other than make it better. Other parties repeat this lie as it’s the only way they can attack Reform. Vote Reform for a better NHS!

This might seem like a game to you. My daughter has leukemia. She is absolutely dependent on the NHS. 'Journalists' paving the way for a Reform government, whilst this Labour government is committed to preserving it, stops me sleeping at night.
Lewis Goodall@lewis_goodall

So 100ish vs 80ish, with over 200 MPs as yet undeclared. But the magic number to activate a contest is 80. Whether the 80 would actively pull the trigger at this point now is another question.

"The problem does not lie with the voters" Actually, a lot of it does. The voters throw a tantrum any time a politician even hints at small reforms to pensions, welfare, planning or the NHS, all of which are unsustainable in their current state.
John Stepek@John_Stepek

Britain's political problem is not "comms", and nor are we "ungovernable". We simply don't have politicians in place who are able to rise to the challenges we face. The problem does not lie with the voters, much as many seem to want to blame us/them.
