  1. Another favourite for the Global Prize for Political Idiocy, if it exists. 🤣

    The #UK's so-called #LabourParty currently has 403 sitting MPs. So the #Starmtroopers circulate a public letter supporting Keir #Starmer with only 116 names on it (23.5%).

    In other words, these clowns are boasting that 76.5% of their MPs refuse to publicly back the boss. 76.5%. More than three out four Labour MPs say no.

    What a massive self-own. 😅🤣

  2. More guns, less butter. 😡

    #TheTimes reports that #Starmer will add £18 billion to the military budget. archive.is/SiKxA

    Millions of ppl struggle to pay rent, fuel & food. Transport is crap. NHS waiting liats are huge. Labour is deeply unpopular. Starmer faces a serious leadership challenge and a crucial by election is on a knife edge. Bbut he wants to splash out on war toys.

    Is Starmer actively trying to drive the #LabourParty over the cliff? Has he ever seen this 1953 cartoon?

  3. @2legged @HarriettMB That is a real hypothetical. If #Burnham is selected as #Labour #candidate, & if he's elected as an MP, & if he is then elected as #LabourParty #leader, he will then face #opposition from those Labour MPs who want to keep on taking advantage of the #FPTP system, even though it might well guarantee our next #Government is formed by #ReformUK!

  4. Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester Mayor known for expansionary fiscal policies, receives Labour Party approval to run in Makerfield by-election, positioning himself to challenge PM Starmer with 43% odds of becoming next prime minister as UK gilts sell off sharply on market concerns over his fiscal stance.

  6. Will #Burnham drive #PR?

    I am v wary of #AndyBurnham. He seems likely to merely slow the decline of the deeply rotten #LabourParty, whose death is long overdue.

    But a Burnham regime could be transforming IF it ensures that #FPTP is abolished at all elections. That would stop ReformUK taking power either nationally or locally, and give a chance for new politics to emerge.

    But it would need to be done fast, zealously, with no referendum. Does Burnham have the steel to do that?

  7. Starmer under pressure as top minister quits, rival eyes return

    British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was struggling to hold on to power after his main rival in the government resigned, accusing him of political drift, while Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham moved closer to a return to Parliament. #keirstarmer #uk #labourparty #andyburnham #britain #unitekingdom #ambassador # #News #Reuters #Newsfeed Read the story here: 👉 Subscribe: Keep up with the latest news from…

  8. US President Johnson said 1st rule of politics was learn how to count. Seems that #WesStreeting can't count. 😅

    #Streeting plotted for 6 months. But by Weds evening only ~40 of 300 #LabourParty backbenchers would commit. See #TheTimes archive.is/IarpF

    He might make the 81 from ministers, but that many resignations would be a huge crisis. So he bottled it.

    But he'd already burnt his bridges with #Starmer. Now his cred is blown, & his savage resignation letter has shocked.

  9. Jeremy Corbyn on the state of #UK politics under Starmer says: “I’m yet to hear from any would-be successor [to Sir Keir] about plans to redistribute wealth, bring about climate justice, or end Britain’s complicity in genocide.” #LabourParty #YourParty
