@patrickhadfield Here's the MP who's proposing to stand down's 'they work for you' report card.
He was first elected at the last election.
He has received moderately large donations from a very small number of donors, and hospitality from a football club which I think is within his constituency. I can't find any occasions where he has voted against the #UKLabour whip. He's a member of the APPG against anti-semitism.
Used to work for Meta. On Bluesky, but not Twitter.

CW: UKPol - Wesley Streeting.

Imagine being deluded enough to believe that Wes Streeting might be the savior of UK labour. You do it. I can't. #uk #uklabour #ukpol #ukpolitics

@petealexharris @naefool @Cyclist No #UKLabour candidate, whether parachuted in or otherwise, can be sure of winning any seat anywhere in the UK these days, so that is not necessarily a blocker.

Hey civil servants, hey back benchers hey anyone - put a wooden shoe in the works, slow type the agreements, call up critical.issues, get it referred to Parliament investigate their ties to Mandelson who arranged for these pedos.
Slow it to a stop, cancel it, and GET RID OF STARMER.

I was really hoping #UKLabour would have time to scrap #FPTP before they committed hara-kiri.
I don't see a potential replacement for Starmer who looks like a safer bet that I would vote for. What they need is to play as a team and stop Starmer announcing daft ideas before they've all thought them through. It's not strong leadership to make mistakes on your own. If they were collective mistakes then they may as well go now and let Honest Nige finish us off.

The law and morality and a century of practice protect the privacy of medical patients.
Angus is pissed that Starmer is giving American fascists complete and total access to your medical and private information.
Because Starmer is an idiot, without a moral structure beyond power.
Remove Starmer today. Milliband or Burnham?

Just written to my MP on the extremely urgent subject of electoral reform. The two-party system is dead and FPTP is not fit for purpose. If Labour doesn't bring in PR now, it is putting the country at genuine risk in the next election.

We all know that #ScottishLabour are much closer to the #SNP on policies than they are to #UKLabour. So would it be a good thing for Scotland if SNP/ScotLab were to agree a coalition deal in which:
1. ScotLab would support the call for #IndyRef2, but would not necessarily campaign for #ScottishIndependence and
2. ScotLab would get the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, with a remit to nationalise Scotland's buses? -

Labour is now populated by people without a shred of political conviction, concern for the people the party was created to serve, or even understanding that they have the power to effect change in the world that desperately needs it. Their service is to oligarchs, the City of London, the interests of large multinational corporations and, all too obviously these days, Zionism.

What is possible now?
Posted on May 10 2026I would like to be interested in Labour's plans to appoint a new leader, and so the Prime Minister of the UK. I have to admit, I am not.
I know that we will suffer almost endless discussion of this issue for weeks to come until Starmer is gone, a successor is appointed, and Andy Burnham is left in perpetual exile in Manchester, as I think likely.
But the real question is why should I be interested in a contest where the choice seems to be between Wes Streeting, Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham?
None has any notable leadership talent.
As far as I can tell, none of them has any understanding of economics of any sort, and when Burnham last stood to be leader, in the contest that saw Jeremy Corbyn win the day, his offering was dismally neoliberal. I expect nothing different from either him or the other two now. Nor do I see any chance that Labour might change course as a consequence of the election of any of these three, or someone else.

Is Milliband the best candidate here?
On Starmer's exit, unifying strongly around the greatest change message to voters would be powerful.
Start a draft Milliband group?

@urlyman Yes, but this is irrelevant, too, because this time we can't: we're up against a hard limit imposed by the laws of physics. We're heating our planet beyond what is habitable for us.
So we either abandon fossil hydrocarbons altogether, or we end complex life on Earth.
Full disclosure, I believe we're choosing the second option. Certainly, #UKLabour and the #SNP are.
-
Its time for labour to push the blairites out, push Starmer aside.
UKLabour is corrupt and needs a clean.house.
Clean house.
Starmer Out.
-
@beemoh I think #Starmer actually does completely lack any political convictions of his own. I think he wanted to become Prime Minister, and put himself in the hands of a group of people who told him they could make him Prime Minister. I think he's hapless, stupid, and trapped, and probably being blackmailed.
That doesn't mean he's not culpable. He put himself into the hands of people he must have known were ruthless and dishonest, to satisfy his own vanity.
-
"You won’t be able to move this weekend for commentators gravely intoning that #Starmer lacks a vision for government. What they won’t say is that he eschewed any vision to get into government. His very lack of politics is how he became politically successful. It was the essential precondition for him to be judged by the right wing papers and others as no threat"

@2legged shame on them #uklabour they have nothing to offer. I am standing for the #GreenParty and #uklabour smeared me, shock horror #climateactivist gets criminal conviction.

Every evil the Tories installed, is still present: corrupted BBC, demo laws, rights removal, austerity, low NHS funding, privatisation, plus a grab bag of new insults, Palantir nazi data control system and #AI and no sovereign digital control. Refuses to rejoin Europe.
Canada will be in the EU before rhe UK
Starmer is the boil of right Wong labour, rhe rebirth of Blairism, a betrayal of more than a century of progressive pro people policy.
Bye bye

Prime Minister and decayed Labour Party may have to be given up.
Its a crime that the Labour Party was subverted.

British public opinion is now substantially against #Israel action in #Gaza, the #WestBank, and #Lebanon. This is particularly true among the groups #UKLabour depends on for support.
So, how do we best put pressure on the #UK government to switch sides?

CW: UK politics, transphobia, Stonewall, Rowling
Bloody hell, just learned that a former #UKLabour MP is becoming the new head of #Stonewall.
She has "a huge respect for JK Rowling", thinks that self-ID is "not top of the list" for Stonewall's priorities, and is both-sidesing #trans people wanting to exist and transphobes wanting them driven out of existence.
I have just cancelled my regular donation to Stonewall.

OK, suppose — this isn't going to happen, but just suppose — #SNP come first in the #HolyroodElection but without a majority, and #ReformUKLtd come second. Which is #Sarwar going to support to form a government?
If you get a #UKLabour canvasser chapping your door, please ask them for me. I'll be *really* interested in their answer.
-
@petealexharris @Alternatecelt I think #UKLabour would (as they did under Callaghan) feel that they could rely on secessionist votes while refusing concessions to secession because the alternative would be right wing parties in power. Callaghan couldn't, and that's how we got #Thatcher.
The secessionist parties' position will be strongest if #ReformUKLtd and the #Conservatives do not have sufficient votes to form a governing coalition.

The #greenparty has beaten him to it.
I would much prefer a Jewish non-zionist progressive #GreenParty PM...

Green victory wasnt even close, progressive voters just voted progressive. Climate was surely also an influence, but the drive, the intent of the voters, is that - STARMER isnt Labour.
Starmer isnt Labour. Labour votes progressive. Greens ROMP to victory in stunning rebuke to Starmer Clique.
Greens got over 40% - Labour and Farageists both in 20s
AND Greens gained more votes than Labour lost. Thats VERY important.

@patrickhadfield I very slightly knew Gordon Brown, a very very long time ago (early 1970s). He had a very bad reputation among my friends as a bully, and my own encounters with him did nothing to undermine that. Mind you, he was a #UKLabour loyalist even then, and we were all #anarchists, which could account for some of that.
I had much more respect for Robin Cook.

Wikipedia has a guide for editors called WP:SPIDERMAN ("No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_climbing_the_Reichstag_dressed_as_Spider-Man . Basically, don't throw your toys out of the pram.
The #Starmtroopers have gone full #Spiderman. Having driven the #LabourParty's polling numbers off a cliff, they now want to weaponise against #Rayner the unelectability which #Starmer & co created. And they use the #Torygraph as their megaphone: https://archive.is/GHJAs. #YCMTSU.

Ed “the gonk” Milliband starts speaking on #LBC #radio
Time to watch a #clangers episode as they speak more sense.
#EdMilliband is a clueless fucking twat
He does have two kitchens though.
That makes him an A1 Deceiving Twat.
