When the Times calls for "retrospective regulations" on immigrants, it actually means "moving the goalposts to punish people who followed the laws and regulations because we don't like foreigners"

Keiko Fujimori declared winner of Peru's presidential election weeks after vote www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Vergonzosos artículo acusando de golpe de Estado sin pruebas. Esta señora ha dicho lo mismo que Donald Trump. Se ve que solo le gusta la democracia cuando salen los de su cuerda ganadores. Igual se olvida del autogolpe de Estado que si que dio su pana Pedro Castillo. A ese no le hizo una columna

''A new Downing Street team based in Manchester and labelled 'No 10 North' will "oversee the biggest rebalancing of power our country has ever seen", Andy Burnham has said in his first speech since launching a bid to be the next prime minister.'' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fujimori will become Peru's first elected female president on July 28 www.reuters.com/world/americ...

''Fujimori, ‌a four-time presidential hopeful and the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, now has 50.11% of the votes, putting her ahead of leftist rival Roberto Sanchez by 43,386 votes.''

I didn’t watch Keir’s speech because I’ve been completely consumed by the Peruvian election and have largely lost interest in British politics. That said, I’ve heard he offered no mea culpa and showed no real sense of contrition.

“Fujimori now has the slimmest of edges with 50.002% to Sanchez's 49.998%, a lead of about 650 votes, with 98.21% of polling stations reporting, or ​about 18 million votes, according to Peru's ONPE electoral authority.” www.reuters.com/world/americ...

This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk. People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already. A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government

"Children of those on care worker visas, who came legally before rule change, told to leave even if parents can stay". This is obscene! Labour - WTF are you trying to do? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This is very funny. It’s almost as if Burnham doesn’t want to win. Mahmood as chancellor? That’s genuinely hilarious.

Can't stress enough how utterly nonsensical this line of "we need to cut immigration further" is when cuts to immigration are already having negative short and long term impacts. It also makes those saying it look particularly foolish when levels inevitably go up again www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Labour MP Jonathan Hinder using the derogatory and reductive term “Boris Wave” to refer to immigrants who moved here by following the rules.

You can imagine what the comments are like under these X posts.

Andy Burnham desperately positioning himself as exactly the same as Keir Starmer. What exactly is the point of Labour changing leaders, then?

* Nacional: Keiko sube ligeramente (38% → 39%) y Sánchez cae (38% → 35%). * Lima: Keiko crece con fuerza (50% → 54%) y Sánchez retrocede (25% → 23%). * Rural: Sánchez sigue liderando, pero cae de forma importante (55% → 49%); Keiko se mantiene (26% → 26%).

Left: Andy Burnham, "I want to rejoin, I hope in my lifetime I see this country rejoin" Right: Andy Burnham, "I'm not proposing that the UK considers rejoining the EU"

For one, brief, shining moment, it looked like economic literacy, security and sanity were all coming back into fashion.

Peruvian electoral authorities confirmed on Sunday the official results of the first round of the presidential elections in early April, with Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez advancing to the runoff on June 7. https://to.pbs.org/4dyA4q8

Watch as Kemi Badenoch and Wes Streeting face off as she makes a comment about 'what he's been up to' The Health Minister is reportedly set to resign in a bid to launch a leadership challenge

My quick write up of the immigration bit of the King's Speech. There was more in the accompanying briefing than the speech itself. But not a lot, frankly. The only new bit seemed to be a truly pathetic suggestion of clawing back asylum support costs from refugees. freemovement.org.uk/immigration-...

One of the things Starmer's defenders on here get so wrong is to insist it's all about media froth. In fact, as that Jess Philips letter demonstrates, the most damning criticism of Starmer comes from those concerned about the policy and delivery process.

Please let this be true omg

Jess Phillips has quit

It's Keir Starmer's job to make Labour voters enthusiastic about his leadership, not the job of Labour voters to make themselves enthusiastic about Keir Starmer

BREAKING: “Nothing has been triggered” Business Secretary Peter Kyle

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has told Cabinet that he will not resign "The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and that has not been triggered. The country expects us to get on with governing. That is what I am doing and what we must do as a Cabinet"

NEW: Keir Starmer tells cabinet he’s staying put. “I take responsibility for these election results and I take responsibility for delivering the change we promised. “The past 48 hours have been destabilising for government and that has a real economic cost for our country and for families”.

He won't go 😱

Well, he can still fill vacancies. For now.

🚨 UPDATE: 75 Labour MPs have now publicly called for Keir Starmer to resign

🚨 BREAKING: Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and 2 other senior Cabinet Ministers have told Keir Starmer to set out a resignation timeline [@thetimes]

‘Public has stopped listening’ to Starmer, says Labour MP www.channel4.com/news/public-...

In two years Keir Starmer’s government has tried to rob Disabled people of help, kept children in poverty, trashed nature protection, restricted peaceful protest, helped arm genocide, and moved to scrap jury trials. He says that Greens exploit despair. He has created it. We offer only hope.

Live footage of Keir Starmer returning to Labour HQ after his speech to see how things are going:

NEW: Pressure mounts on Keir Starmer as cabinet ministers face wave resignations from top aides It is understood that senior members of Wes Streeting's, Shabana Mahmood's and Emma Reynolds's teams have jumped ship Read more: www.thenational.scot/news/2...

“One of the problems they’ve had is not pinning Brexit onto Farage and Reform strongly or often enough - it’s a schoolboy error” Emily and Lewis say the “strongest” part of Starmer’s speech was attacking Farage - but you “can’t fatten the pig on market day”.

People are now resigning from government (PPSs anyway).

🚨 BREAKING: 60 Labour MPs have now publicly called for Keir Starmer to resign

🚨 NEW: Blue Labour has called on Keir Starmer to set out a timetable for his departure MPs belonging to the faction include Dan Carden, Jonathan Hinder and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood

Honestly if the PMs speech Today re lit anyones fire I‘d be amazed. For me it damaged him further. I heard himsay ‘this is me, i am who i am. Farage is a prick & polanski is a bullshitter. I’m neither, but i’m a pragmatist’. It was like watching some audition for a receptionists job. This is it!

51 Labour MPs currently calling for Starmer to resign Debbie Abrahams (Oldham East and Saddleworth) David Baines (St Helens North) Paula Barker (Liverpool Wavertree) Apsana Begum (Poplar and Limehouse) Clive Betts (Sheffield South East) Olivia Blake (Sheffield Hallam) Jonathan Brash (Hartlepool)

Starmer will be gone by next Friday

It brings me no joy to say it but Chris Curtis is right, Starmer must go news.sky.com/video/chris-...

NEW - Catherine West is collecting names to ask the PM to set a timetable for departure It is - in effect - a no confidence vote
