@RichardBurgon You and your pals are the reason why a left leaning Labour Party would be unelectable

We need an orderly timetable for Keir’s departure and a proper democratic leadership election - not a Wes Streeting-organised palace coup.

@Nigel_Farage so it's just the £5M you took and not the other £1M - or is it both? What does he get in return?
English
My lawyers have formally written to Ben Habib.
They demanded an immediate apology and public retraction for the baseless allegations he made today.
I do not take legal action often. But I will not accept slander & politically motivated smears after winning a national election.

@DPJHodges I bet you are not going to try and follow up on this or will you leave a proper journalist to do it? x.com/i/status/20540…

Extraordinary allegations from @benhabib6 !! Ben Habib alleges that Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson were paid £1m each by Christopher Harborne to essentially rig the election in favour of Johnson. He also claims the undeclared £5m "gift" Farage received in 2024 from Harborne was payment for Farage to take over as party leader of Reform UK and stand in Clacton.
English
Yes. But that’s because his mate the Prime Minister seems to think he can carry on governing with 100 of his MPs and Ministers calling for his resignation.

Does anyone feel a bit sorry for Keir Starmer?

@CamillaTominey Where as Tice is given a free ride by you - and as for Farage and his £5M...oh - and the other payments Habib has now told us about.

@MrIanMParker @campbellclaret So you just dismiss what he says? I do not like the man or his politics but he is not stupid and would not make these comments if they were not true - litigation would be very costly for him. I'm sure more will come out soon.
English
@campbellclaret I voted for this man at the past GE, when he was a Reform candidate. He has spent the last 2 years trying to undermine Reform and Farage. How many candidates can say they were beaten by a Tory? Ben can. Wellingborough & Rushden dodged a bullet! #BitterBen

Westminster tried to tell you we had reached “peak Reform”.
Today @YouGov have us with a record lead after winning a second local election in a row.
Don’t underestimate us!

@railnigel @gceccles It's on my funeral list as well, but my list is far too long as I keep adding to it - I need to re-visit it otherwise it will be a very long funeral service...

@ShippersUnbound @MatthewStadlen You maintained professionalism at the Times but now with your right wing buddies at the Spectatyou are anything but professional, both in the publication and on here.
English
@MatthewStadlen Coming from a comic commentary chancer like you, this is really quite something. Put a sock in it and leave the coverage to the professionals
English
The media feeding frenzy today - in particular - has been a disgrace. Egging on Labour MPs in some sort of bid for chaos/excitement/column inches/podcast stats. This isn’t a game or a spectator sport. It’s the running of our country. Shameful.
English
@NeilDotObrien Yet you supported Truss who couldn't get it right with an auto-prompt and said nothing - Once again hypocrisy from you
English
Peak Starmer: even giving a speech to save his own skin he can't cope without robotically reading off an autocue.

@nicolelampert @hugorifkind @robertshrimsley Governments can cause antisemitism, the actions of the Israeli government have led to massive anger against Israel and the Israeli government and like it or not this has (wrongly) spilt over in to antisemitism. If you want to blame governments look at the Israeli government first
English
What has the government done to stop this tidal wave of antisemitism?
It hasn’t even done what it said it would do and banned the IRGC.
It didn’t send a top Cabinet figure - it sent someone who most of the crowd had never heard of.
This government consists of people who told us to vote for Jeremy Corbyn so spare me this purity. Meanwhile Ed Davey has been throwing around the genocide libel like confetti.
People booed McFadden because they are angry. And they are frightened. And they feel that they are losing their country.
As for the self declared anti racists? They were against us before Reform even existed.
English
The ignorance and stupidity of those booing Pat McFadden . . .
Allison Pearson@AllisonPearson
Labour’s Pat McFadden being booed and jeered at the pro Jewish rally. Labour government hasn’t banned the IRGC, hasn’t expelled the hate preachers or the Iranian ambassador. Ignored the mass rape and torture of white working class girls by their client group.

@RichardBurgon Burgon is part of the reason the Labour Party risks falling in to obscurity. Never been relevant other than to a few on the far left - his, and other voices have stopped progress
English
Keir Starmer needs to go.
But not through a Cabinet stitch-up or palace coup.
And not through a snap leadership election run under rule changes designed by Morgan McSweeney/Labour Together in order to hand someone like Wes Streeting a coronation.

@ShippersUnbound Get outside your Westminster bubble and you'll find strong support for a referendum and return to the EU
English
As one of the chroniclers of Brexit, I am truly inspired by the lengths Nick Clegg, Ben Judah and others are going to in order to get me to write a fifth book. They can't actually believe they would win a Rejoin referendum, can they?
English
@railnigel As long as the train departs on time what’s the problem?
English
@Nigel_Farage You've tried to change the world view to agree that it is acceptable to take a £5M bung and keep it a secret. It's not.
English
Reform has once again shattered the worldview of the Westminster bubble.

@implausibleblog She obviously has illusions of grandeur and a very inflated opinion of herself. But at the same time highlights the problem the Labour party has with these loonies
English
Labour MP Catherine West, "This afternoon I would like the Cabinet to come around the table and to elect a leader amongst themselves, without humiliating the current leader Keir Starmer"
"He should also have a role, perhaps doing international affairs"
"But we need someone within Cabinet to step forward as the leader and then we will have a new leader of the party without needing a leadership election"
"If that cannot happen and there are no leadership hopefuls tomorrow, then on Monday morning I will put my name forward to stand for the leader of the Labour party"
"And I will begin a leadership election"

So impressive that they can do this, what with all the genocide and famine going on around them. The struggle is real ✊🏻
