@Always_Winning1 @BethRigby Come on. Another minion sacrificed for Starmer’s dishonesty. The list goes on and on with the invertebrate failing to do the only thing he should and resign.

@BethRigby If he made the decision and didn’t tell Starmer or Lammy then of course this is the right decision. Not just because he made the decision but also because he allowed the PM to make the statements he has and hasn’t corrected him.

BREAKING: Understood that the PM and Foreign Sec have lost confidence in Olly Robbins & Robbins, the most senior civil servant in the Foreign Office, will be leaving his post

@MrHarryCole Didn’t he buy a new one the other day for £30000?

Savile, the post office cases, grooming gangs, Cabinet bad behaviour, dodgy donors… all mysteriously didn’t cross Starmer’s desk.. Which begs the question — DOES THE PM EVEN HAVE A DESK?

@bbcquestiontime And the Greens want the welfare system to quadruple and make Welsh workers pay for it!

“We have to be ambitious, we have to do the things that this country needs” Wales Green Party’s Anthony Slaughter says other parties are “throwing numbers around” when the “people of Wales are hurting” because the wealthiest “aren’t paying their tax” #bbcqt

@lady_valor_07 100%

Do you believe Boris Johnson was a better Prime Minister than Keir Starmer?

@WingsScotland He’s used to a teleprompter as a former TV presenter. Can’t think on his feet and full of uncosted vanity projects😡

This is such an embarrassment. You put something in your manifesto, then when asked a simple question about it you stammer and stutter and deflect and evade and waffle about something else.

@RUKWales It clashes with Happy Hour down her local!!

Where is Eluned Morgan?

@afneil More lies Andrew. More cover ups. More junior ministers and civil servants will be hung out to dry. Starmer is the most corrupt politician ever, he refuses to accept blame and is utterly dishonest. Other public servants who have done far less are sacked😡

We now have the Government response: Neither the PM nor 10 Downing Street nor the Cabinet Office knew the Foreign Office had decided to ignore the fact Mandelson had failed his security vetting. Call it the ‘know-nothing’ government. But it leaves a major question unanswered: why would the FO take it on itself to make such a huge judgement call — and not inform/consult Downing Street? What was in it for the FO? It hadn’t even necessarily wanted Mandy, unlike Starmer and the 10 Downing Street operation. Doesn’t add up.

@bbcquestiontime To give us the worst NHS, worst education, worst social care, worst roads and infrastructure, worst business take ups, worst living standards, worst local government and worst 27 years in Welsh history! Well done Labour👏🏼

“We have lived through 14 years of Tory cuts to Welsh government budgets, and we have managed those budgets… to protect front line services” Welsh Labour’s Huw Irranca-Davies says that his party has a “track record” and is being “upfront” about what it will and won’t fund #bbcqt

@SaulStaniforth Clueless, brainwashed by Miliband. He is a very dangerous man!!

Caroline Lucas explains why more drilling in the North Sea wouldn't bring our energy prices down & it would take years to come on line, but what will bring prices down is more renewables & energy efficiency, its quicker to achieve and it doesn't drive climate change #GMB

@PlaidExposed Extremists both and so so scary for Wales.

Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader joins the Greens in calling for a horseracing ban. They agree with the far-left Greens on many more issues too, like legalising drugs such as crack cocaine and heroin. A Plaid-Green coalition must be stopped. Don’t vote Plaid. Don’t vote Green.

@PolitlcsUK @thetimes Yeah right. Push the blame onto a minion again, who will be hung out to dry. Starmer no longer fools the public, nothing out of his mouth is honest! The most corrupt PM in our history, nothing to be proud of!

🚨 BREAKING: No 10 and Keir Starmer were reportedly unaware that Peter Mandelson failed his security vetting [@thetimes]

@BethRigby Beth, if you believe this then you are not the person I think you are. Starmer is a serial liar and has unloaded the blame every time his neck is on the block. Time for no confidence and for Labour hierarvhy to step up and do the right thing. Treating the country with contempt!!

NEW: Anger in No 10 tonight - am told by a source that neither the PM nor his advisors were told, over a series of months, that Mandelson had been granted security clearance against the recommendation of UK security vetting. That suggests this information was held in foreign office and not shared. Big Qs now about the PM misleading the House. I am told the PM had been asking Qs about vetting and not been told this information while giving statements to parliament. Told this week PM had been trying to get answers about what happened since Tues night - Guardian got ahead of story. The critical point is that the minister has to have ‘knowingly misled’ the House, and clearly No 10 saying tonight the PM was not aware. I understand the PM had been intending to update the HoC as soon as No 10 had established facts, which they have been doing since Tues. So expect to see the PM come to HoC on Monday to correct the record I asked PM on March 16 whether he has misled the House when he said due process was followed. This is what he told me BETH RIGBY: On the Mandelson files, your national security adviser said the process was quote, weirdly rushed, and Mandelson was appointed before developed vetting had been complete. You told MPs in the House of Commons that due process was followed. Is there a possibility that you have misled the House when you said that? KEIR STARMER: No, and the independent adviser looked at that very question. I think on Thursday or Friday of last week, and answered it very robustly, that the process had been followed. The process wasn't strong enough. And amongst the changes that I intend to put into place is the fact that you can't announce someone until the vetting is finished. It wasn't an individual decision in the Mandelson case, that was the process. Well, you only have to look at that. in the light of the appointment, to realise that that needs to change. But on due process, the process that was there was followed, the problem was the process wasn't strong enough, but ultimately, it was my mistake and I have apologised for that and quite right to.

Here we go. Deny everything, blame everyone else, carry on! Starmer is now treating ecerybody with contempt. Time for thr Labour Party to step up and force him out!! #liveblog-body" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">news.sky.com/story/politics…

@realBenBloch Starmer doesn’t listen. He does as he pleases with his scripts. He cannot think for himself and is being worked like Ray Allen worked Lord Charles! Not only the worst PM of all time but likely the worst politician to have ever been elected! And don’t get me started on that voice

The PM's relationship with the Commons Speaker has deteriorated again this week, with another row after PMQs. After Sir Lindsay Hoyle intervened to tell Sir Keir Starmer to stick to the topic, the pair had another annoyed exchange at the Speaker's chair, I'm told. They did not have a private conversation after, as has previously happened. The Speaker's spox has said he has made it clear to No 10 and the PM "on several occasions recently". But Starmer has not listened, it would seem. A spokeswoman for the Speaker said: "Questions to ministers should relate to matters for which they are officially responsible. Equally, answers should be confined to the points contained in the question. "Every so often, the Speaker has to remind prime ministers – and ministers – of the rules of engagement in the Chamber. "The Speaker has made this point to officials at No 10 on several occasions recently as well." I've asked No 10 for comment - no response yet... #liveblog-body" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">news.sky.com/story/politics…

@sharrond62 It’s so scary what is going on on this man’s head Sharron. I would seriously consider moving to England if this lot are allowed to do what they say they want to!

@LeinsterClub Because the Aviva is Leinster’s home ground. They have done it when the RDS was functioning. Any big game and they switch. Semi finals albeit in the home teams’s country should not be at their regular ground!!

No Irish team or pundit has ever given out about the Welsh teams being allowed play Champions Cup semi finals in the Principality Stadium, so why do they care where we play?

@TalkTV @JuliaHB1 Labour will blame evrrybody but themselves. It’s part of their DNA, along with lying!!

Britain will suffer the biggest economic shock in the G7 from the Iran energy crisis, but Rachel Reeves is blaming Trump’s "folly" instead of Net Zero and Labour’s failures. What’s your reaction? 📞0344 499 1000 @JuliaHB1

@WalesOnline He can’t answer because it is a vanity project to gain votes. He frees up selective sections of society yet gags the general population and worse still will make sure the workimg Welsh person will pay more tax than their English counterparts to pay for those projects. No to Plaid

@AlexJJNorris But no-one is actually being deported. That is the deterrent not accommodating them. Instant decisions and immediate removal!

There were more than 400 asylum hotels under the previous government – that number has been more than halved, with 11 more closing this week. Labour is bringing the asylum system under control.

@BBCPolitics But we welcome EU citizens straight in. If we played their game, the e-gates over there would be a lot more efficient!! Start looking after your citizens Starmer, not everyone else’s!!

Ed Davey highlights long passport queues in EU airports, saying they are a symbol of “the Brexit disaster” Keir Starmer says that he’s “pushing hard” on e-gates and that he intends to “go closer to the EU in the relations that we have” #PMQs: bbc.in/4tMt4ML
