I support the Government to get on with the things we need them to and not turn inwards… that will be deeply destructive and disappointing.

'We need to take a deep breath.' Labour MP Hilary Benn says that he 'supports' Keir Starmer and encourages his party to 'get on with governing'.

Just come from the King's Speech. You'll have heard a lot about personality politics lately. Today is about the politics of delivery. Keir Starmer is getting on with the job and I support him wholeheartedly. Take a look at the measures here: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Starmer is showing resilience and has a thicker skin than most. Lesser mortals would crumble in the midst of an onslaught from a horrendously biased media and opposition parties with dubious foreign links. I honestly think this is a battle for our democracy.

@dontbrexitfixit @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @Nigel_Farage I recall a Dad's Army sketch where Captain Mainwearing is describing a long complicated way to attach a homemade ' sticky bomb ' to a tank. At the end of the talk Private Walker asks 'While you're doing all this what will the Germans be doing ? For Germans read bond markets

Andrew Parnall@dontbrexitfixit·10h

Dear @UKLabour, you are fucking nuts if you get rid of Starmer @Keir_Starmer right now. Farage @Nigel_Farage, Putin, Netanyahu & Trump are just waiting to jump in divide you and exploit you while you pull each other apart. Sort your fucking selves out FFS!

As a fellow ex-economics editor of BBC Newsnight happy to join Paul on the call explaining why bond markets ‘ do not fall into line’. This is deep and dangerous economic illiteracy.

Paul Mason@paulmasonnews

In the name of public service, and as ex-economics editor of BBC Newsnight, I offer to do a zoom call, tonight, with any Labour MP who wants to understand why bond markets do not "fall into line" with governments. 1/

@timothy_stanley The media are trying to dislodge Starmer which could create such chaos that the next cry will be for a GE. In the current climate this could only benefit Reform. Does the UK really want a this ?

We are delivering on our manifesto and our economy is stabilising. The Prime Ministers global leadership has been excellent. A 5th prime minister in 6 years will paralyse our government and make the cost of living crisis worse. We promised stability and I will fight for that.

People are trying to force Starmer out because the media is telling you he is the devil. The other options around him are 10x worse. Starmer has reduced net-migration by 70%, kept us out of the Iran war, effectively banned Porn, and is nationalising key industries. Say what you want about him, he is a stronger leader than any of the Tories were in 14 years. He should stay the course.

This is where this insanity leads. People already pushing to oust Streeting if he wins the leadership election. This isn’t politics; it’s a sequence of falling dominos

Alex Wickham@alexwickham

***BREAKING: Labour’s soft-left condemns Wes Streeting’s bid for No10 and vows to oust him from Downing Street if he becomes PM*** A senior soft-left source blasts Team Streeting for their public statements calling for a “swift” and “rapid” contest before Andy Burnham can get in. The source says: “If Wes thinks he can pull off some kind of stitch up to avoid a fair process that he will have no legitimacy even if he briefly ends up in office. There would be no support for the government in the Commons and we would challenge him at the first opportunity. He’d be lucky to outlast a lettuce.” It means the Labour Party is in civil war tonight Streeting appears to be trying to force a contest before Burnham is eligible It is causing meltdown among soft-left and left MPs Senior figures on the left of the party are threatening to oust Streeting from No10 if he succeeds in his bid to be PM

An Unimportant Officer@UnimportantO·1d

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.

@gorbalsgoebbels @Phil_Jones01 If Kier goes some MPs will like his successor some won't. The press will dislike whoever is chosen. Given then a few bad polls and why not have a third PM?

We saw an attempted media coup last night and this morning. This is serious stuff. There is an agenda by some to remove a democratically elected Prime Minister. Glad most Labour MPs did their job. The others are weasels.

We need to get on with the job. I attended Cabinet this morning having flown back from Cyprus last night where I was working on preparing the next UK-EU Summit. We have to reject both panic and comfort, and put country before party. (1/2)

Just out of Cabinet and then the Middle East Response Committee. The impact of the conflict in Iran will be felt here at home at a time when we know the cost of living has been difficult for many. This Labour government is working hard to protect families and businesses from the economic shocks as much as we can. Serious times call for serious leadership, which is exactly what the Prime Minister is providing.
