🚨EXCL: Mark Drakeford, former Labour First Minister of Wales, calls on Keir Starmer to set a timetable to step down as Prime Minister and backs Andy Burnham In his first interview since Labour’s disastrous Welsh Parliament elections, he tells me: • The situation for the PM is “irrecoverable” • Suggests a contest could happen over the summer with a “new Prime Minister in place for September” • Supports Andy Burnham to become the next Labour leader and Prime Minister - and intends to campaign for him in Makerfield. • Believes “a strong majority of Welsh Labour members” will want to support Burnham • Says the level of hostility towards the Labour Party which he encountered in the Senedd election campaign was something he’d never experienced in over 50 years of campaigning • On Eluned Morgan, the former Labour First Minister, losing her seat: a “desperately sad moment” • Claims lack of further powers devolved to Wales by the Keir Starmer administration "cut the ground from under us” in Welsh Labour's Senedd campaign Part of our exchange here Full interview to follow in next post ⬇️🧵

@UnimportantO @10DowningStreet @UKLabour Agreed

Rather than replacing the PM I think @10DowningStreet and @UKLabour need to replace their media teams. If you actually look at the legislation passed and metrics like asylum and NHS backlogs they’ve achieved a lot, but it doesn’t seem to cut through with many. They need to shout.

@trystanbending No thanks

@Microinteracti1 You fuckers sucked the Russia oil cock long enough! We are ending NATO! Europe can worry about Europe, we are tired of defending your sorry asses!

The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders. While Europe has been bleeding money and weapons to stop Russian aggression, Hungary has been blocking NATO decisions, sheltering Russian intelligence, and doing Moscow’s diplomatic dirty work at every turn. Orban isn’t America’s friend. He’s Putin’s man in Brussels. And JD Vance calls him a “good friend.” Europe is supposed to line up behind a war that had no plan for day two, no strategy for the Strait of Hormuz, and no consultation with allies beyond Israel. A war that has already sent oil past $100 a barrel and left one of America’s most powerful warships reportedly retreating toward the Indian Ocean. You don’t get to lecture Europe about loyalty while embracing the man working to destroy the alliance from within, and then demand backup for a war you started without asking anyone.

@triffic_stuff_ This guy was the winner of a tv show named “Traitors”…whereby he has proven himself to be the most deceitful traitor amongst his peers by lying and pretending to be someone he isn’t. Please reconsider your sources of information. Also, he’s a nobody who is probs being paid.

The damage Keir Starmer has done and is doing to Britain cannot be understated. Ex-soldier and Traitors winner Harry Clark just told LBC he would "probably not" fight for the UK in 2026. "Especially how the country is nowadays and how hard it is to live... what am I fighting for?" We no longer stand for freedom and peace like we used to. Starmer has turned Britain into an authoritarian police state, cracking down on protest, free speech, and everyday life while ordinary people struggle. This is what happens when patriotism is destroyed and the country no longer feels worth defending. Resign! 😡

NEW: 🚨 FIVE EYES IS ANTI-AMERICAN 🚨 Why are we still funding the intelligence services of nations that don’t share our values? As I have reported, the “FIVE EYES” intelligence sharing relationship no longer serves America’s interests. The United States gives the “keys to the kingdom” to foreign governments that hate us and our values. For example, the UK and Australia have been fully conquered by Islam. The Steele Dossier— which the Russia collusion hoax was based off of—came from British Intelligence. The “British” Home Secretary @ShabanaMahmood is a violent Pakistani Muslim who has said that Islam guides everything she does in life. Australia’s government in Canberra recently humiliated their own sailors aboard the USS Charlotte, ordering them to stand down when the US military torpedoed an Iranian frigate. Source: x.com/hontonyabbott/… The Five Eyes relationship is not codified in law or a treaty. @NSAGov Director Rudd should advise President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio @SecRubio that this agreement no longer benefits us, and cancel it immediately.   During the March 26th cabinet meeting, President Trump questioned why the United Kingdom and Australia didn’t have our backs in the recent military operation in Iran. Alliances change over time. President Trump has recently eviscerated NATO for their failure to assist us in Iran and @SecRubio has asked how NATO benefits the US. Source: x.com/statedept/stat… President Trump is right to ask the question: why should we support governments that don’t support us? Cancel FIVE EYES! @POTUS @PeteHegseth See my reporting on this topic below ⬇️ x.com/lauraloomer/st… x.com/lauraloomer/st… x.com/lauraloomer/st…

@dylanrhysgrant @AledSCFC Frank, definitely.

@AledSCFC Franck Tabanou and Pederson could really share the gold on this

Either Yates or Pedersen

⚽️ What has been your #SkyBetChampionship Goal of the Season so far? 😍

@RepDonBacon @ballcrusher6969 Great reply, sir 👏🏻

@ballcrusher6969 The only bars I’ll be behind are the ones serving lager, cabernet and scotch. Seek help for your weird fixations!

I’ve been very supportive of POTUS on Iran & believe getting rid of Maduro was good. But I’ve been appalled by this Admin's tone, rhetoric, tactics & strategy toward Europe. Denigrating our allies has been terrible. Weakness communicated to Putin has caused grave damage. Passive-aggressive communication toward President Zelenskyy is embarrassing. I hear from our allies about the damage this has done & it’s going to take time to repair.

The media has convinced you that Keir Starmer is the worst Prime Minister in history. They're lying to you.

@Franciswaston1 @sophgaston

@sophgaston The Navy hasn't the strength required to do that, neither does the air force. You're pissing in the wind

It was justifiable for the PM to not join the initial strikes on Iran. The lack of preparedness to address their effects was not. Similarly, it may be in Britain's interests to now help to secure the Strait of Hormuz - not to escalate the conflict, but to mitigate its impacts.

@jnides8 @sophgaston

@sophgaston Secure it how? Show your working.

@Danciagar @sophgaston

@sophgaston You want a British ship to get sunk in the name of the US? Think about why 2 full US Navy groups are afraid to go in. Trump just wants to get others in the quagmire so he doesn't lose face when the inevitable comes.

@HerdImmunity12 Based in Great Britain are you? …okay comrade…👀

Breaking News🇺🇸⚓️🇬🇧: "Starmer was reluctant to put his two aircraft carriers in harm's way. As soon we demolished Iranian targets he wanted to get involved...too late, we will REMEMBER !!!". President Trump makes his feeling clear on PM Keir Starmer and his complete lack of support during 'Operation Epic Fury'. Next time Starmer runs over to the White House to lobby for the EU/NATO proxy war in Ukraine, he'll be told to get ****ed and whistle Dixie on any tariff free trade deals.

@andrewjones2581 @GorkaPintado18 @JamesSCFC_

@GorkaPintado18 @JamesSCFC_ ‘Stinky midfield’ fuck me, how old are you???, our midfield is lacking key players through injuries etc, still good enough to beat you well. Wxm have played last Saturday, Tuesday and tonight, what’s your excuse for being So Crap, fucking Union Jack cunts. He Dived.

Absolutely no chance that the whole media agenda doesn’t have an impact on the decisions referees make in their games. Any other game that is given without any hesitation…

@the_sensefield @ToonDazza @Keir_Starmer

@ToonDazza @Keir_Starmer Hi Dazza 👋 Instead of whining on here all day and night like a little cowardly fucking bitch, why not put your boots on and go and show everyone how it’s done? Put your money where that fucking anus of a mouth is for once. Or are you just a rent-a-gob, weak little cunt?

The French aircraft carrier Charles De Gaulle has arrived to protect the British Sovereign territory and Armed Forces base RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. If that doesn’t make you feel embarrassed to be British then nothing will. Unforgivable @Keir_Starmer

@ParkerJanusReed @COLRICHARDKEMP

@COLRICHARDKEMP No one is "bewildered." UK is a Muslim country now. Not an open enemy yet, but not an ally.

I have spoken to several US military officers in the last few days. They are all utterly bewildered by how far their once most dependable ally has descended into irrelevance. My article in the Express. #amp-readmore-target" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">express.co.uk/news/politics/…
