USA is such a dangerous place - so many white people carrying arms and ready to use them. US citizens try coming to London under Sadiq Khan (w/o your guns), so safe, such a diverse community, such good public transport, good free health care.

Wow. This focus group on the MAGA cult. Spoiler: not MAGA anymore. Tori Hurst: "They made me watch a documentary on January 6th, and I didn't even know what happened on January 6th prior... And I looked at him, and I said, 'Scott, did that really happen?' And he was like, 'Where have you been?’”

When a PM is forced to resign by his MPs looking after their own interests and there is no agreed plan in place and no reshaped Government the the ambitious MPs will try to advance their careers by freelancing policies. Starmer said there would be chaos Labour a shambles Starmer the statesman

A party that forces the resignation of its PM for a replacement without knowing what is the plan is not a serious party working for national interest but only the self interest of its MPs Not a banana republic but UK. To be expected from a country that voted for Brexit and is overtly racist??

🚨 Keir Starmer: "Climate change is one of the most significant challenges of our time. "And I remember not so long ago, the party opposite leading in the COP summit, something that we were able to support. It is a shame that in order to chase Reform votes, they've changed their mind."

The contempt which Burnham, Simons and the PLP are treating the membership and the electorate is impossible for me to get over. A sitting Labour MP standing down to facilitate a sitting Labour Mayor because they've decided he should be PM, Machiavelli would be proud.

Ukraine is now at the centre of the EU Project, not only because it is a wall against Putin encroachment but because of the technical brilliance and experience of warfare. It is important that the war is brought to an end with Ukraine occupying both Crimea and the rest of Ukraine.

In order to deliver policies more radical than Starmer’s and at pace, the new Labour PM will need people to accept stark realities. But Brits can’t handle the truth. They want quick fixes w/o anyone suffering economically A smile from Burnham ain’t going to cut it.

I'm not, I've sickened by the shabby behaviour of him and Simons, a big up yours to their electorate, he will not be getting my vote. This is not a day for celebrations, it's a shameful day in Labour's history. I'll be ditching my membership as soon as I've had a vote in leadership election.

We have a media model that has become reliant on the thirst for Westminster drama. A PM lurching from crisis to crisis is more profitable to them than one which is stable, boring and gets things done. So we are in a death spiral where no-one can last longer than 2 years. Doomed.

Sickening to see journalists now pivoting to "the human tragedy" of Starmer’s resignation. The media built the gallows, gave Burnham's arrogant camp a free pass to leak and destroy a decent man, and now they want credit for feeling bad as he breaks down? A total joke.

It starts. Burnham’s receipts. He is deliberately manoeuvring to replace Starmer as PM w/o scrutiny of his plan, hyping up the extent resistance to Starmer continuing as PM. All the hallmarks of a left wing coup. Starmer’s duty to UK is to ensure Burnham has a better plan for UK than Starmer.

There’s a coordinated campaign of hate against Starmer. Much of it I assume from bots and paid trolls, from outside the country, as well as vile individuals in the UK. Social media has a lot to answer for. The Labour left sees this as genuine unpopularity, and dances to their media’s siren song.
