  1. #Starmer's plan:

    1/ take a record hammering in election, 'cos you are untrustworthy and have no ideas

    2/ announce you now have great new ideas, which you chose not to use until you were hammered

    3/ reveal big new idea as reheating hated geriatrics from #NewLabour

  2. Former UK Prime Minister #GordonBrown is in his favourite pose: post-facto sanctimonious.

    Brown is concerned that when #AndrewMountbattenWindsor (then #PrinceAndrew) was Trade Envoy, he may have used #RAF planes to traffick girls into the UK. Brown wants police to investigate.

    When Brown was PM, he challenged Andrew's extravagance and use of RAF planes. If Brown had stopped the RAF flights or fired Andrew, the risk would have ended.

    Brown had power. He didn't use it.

  3. Trump says the UK's 2 aircraft carriers are 'toys'. The #RoyalNavy is squawking. So are the navy's fans, e.g. #Torygraph.

    But #Trump is mostly right. The QEII carriers have had 3 big problems: they don't work, have no planes, and no escorts.

    Now they sometimes work, have a few planes, and rely on American #CarrierBattleGroups. But it's all half-arsed.

    These carriers are not really a military project. They are #pork, built by #GordonBrown to create jobs in Scotland, and enthuse #flagshaggers.

  4. The runners and riders to be Keir Starmer’s next chief of staff – POLITICO

    She comes from think tank land, where she had a top job at the cost-of-living-focused Resolution Foundation, and…

  5. Why is #GordonBrown allowed to lie?

    Keir #Starmer's lack of integrity is a matter of historical record. The public knows about Starmer's broken 2020 election promises, his claim and later denial of friendship with #Corbyn, and his lies about international law. Opinion polls find that "liar" is the word most associated with Keir Starmer.

    But the BBC prints Brown's blatant lie as a fact. archive.is/Zyeqx

    There is no challenge at all to Brown's #BigLie. 😡

  6. "If we want to understand why democracy is in such trouble, the careers of Blair and Mandelson are exemplary: greed and cynicism feeding off each other." — Fintan O'Toole.

    #OToole's article is marred by excessive praise for the massively-flawed #GordonBrown. But O'Toole is right about the sheer avarice of #TonyBlair and #PeterMandelson

    #jamesbond tried to 'bond with locals' but got in a sticky situation

  8. #GordonBrown appeals for “#austeritychildren”, born after 2010 from low-income families. They number 3.4 million of UK’s 4.3 million children living below #poverty line. A Sure Start relaunch early-years scheme would be central 2 Brown's plan. UK’s worsening levels of destitution described as “obscene”, “systematically shredded” benefits system is an indictment of this disgusting Tory Govt. rb.gy/h8c08s #SunakOut #ToryCorruption #Fraternity #Compassion

  9. @Rednotgrey

    oddly you will not find a single #tory who will agree with you - he is the first #labourLeader since #gordonBrown they fear

    the #labourLeft hate #starmer for highlighting the fact that the #UK will not vote for a #labourLeft led #labourParty

    The bit on the left of the graph is where #labour trailed under #corbyn

  10. @LibDemCampaigner @OurFlagUK @chrisgerhard @rossbright

    Given how rightwing #clegg proved to be in govt, I am not surprised #gordonBrown turned down his terms - "I agree with Nick" enabled #austerity including #spareRoomTax, non-medical interrogation of disabled benefit recipients & rapid escalation of the cost of university education

    By maintaining low interest rates & #QE for a decade rather than let wealthy take the pain, #coalition gifted us #assetPriceInflation still with us today

    Listening to GB this morning at Leeds Uni.... he is an intellectual giant compared with anyone in the Government.
