Please also remember that MSM studiously ignored the evidence and actively promoted the notion that Farage was PM material except for @bylinetimes.bsky.social where the team there have meticulously investigated since from whenever the printed version began

Please remember that this long slow fall of Farage began by proper, meticulous, by the letter due process in Parliament long before the change in Labour Leadership.

Do you really think Frit Farage is going to spend 6 weeks in Clacton meeting constituents in public/on doorsteps? & NOT be: Interviewed or followed by the MSM all summer? My guess is he won't stand - he knows speculation & investigations will continue regardless. Just too afraid to admit it today.

Reform are not the party of the people #NeverVoteReform

Some hard lessons learned & to be learned by next incumbent. PLP/NEC have betrayed membership, party & ultimately, nation - history has shown that changing leader mid term (Callaghan/Brown) results in 14 yrs in wilderness where some are too comfortable. Thanks Kier. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

😂 Starmer not 'good' at politics? Reality vs Rhetoric. Burnham might think differently today- somehow outmanoeuvred/forced to reveal his priorities re: Defence Welfare,Tax - well played politically I'd say. Healy/Streeting frothing too - nice. Rayner doing a Dorries/Johnson thing with Burnham? Yuk.

Frank Gardner spells it out here. BBC report it- will anyone else I wonder. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3...

So there's all the rhetoric . Anyone and everyone should have those aspirations. Where's the timeline& finance? What essentially is different in terms of action? Surprised 'Apple Pie & Custard' for everyone wasn't in there but you can't have everything I suppose. Nice quip about MSM though. 1/2

This is exactly what the UK is up against...not tanks, not ships, not troops not missiles.... cyber is the new nuclear threat for the 21st Century.

History repeats - 2/3 Yrs in. Wilson resigned (albeit of his own choosing), Callaghan undermined by gang of 4, Blair resigned for Brown who fell at first hurdle & Starmer - toppled by PLP & vain naked ambition. What puts an end to Labour Govt is Labour PLP. Worse than 60 yrs of World Cup misery.

Last November Streeting claimed he was the victim of slurs & even alluded to Celebrity Traitors. Like all good Traitors - he lied, lied,lied and everyone fell for it. Learned his lesson from Alan Carr BUT Alan Carr is an irascible national treasure. Streeting is a grubby purveyor of snake oil.

In 2022 Rayner vociferously complained and condemned Sunak's coronation . Where is that call now? Burnham offers NOTHING new policy wise. More of the same actually taking credit for what has already been achieved. COUNTRY FIRST not Johnson lite. 1 member - 1 vote Deny us our vote - lose next GE

As ALL the MSM clearly believe their own wishful thinking. I remind everyone that the hypocrite 'messiah' -has unresolved financial scandal waiting in the wings in Manchester. Labour MPs! Country First! NOT a Labour Johnsonite. One Member - One Vote Deny us our vote you'll lose next GE.

A fine example of why some Labour should resist posting stuff that will bite them back later.... naive amateurs 😂

Some Labour MPs are behaving like teenagers experiencing the angst of living in a BBC soap opera -their first pangs of identity crisis, self harm, woe is me, nobody understands me, look at me look ate me, don't look at me,don't ask me questions,don't make me decide/choose leave me alone.😜

1/ Below is what I reminded and wrote to Anna Turkey Labour Chair today. I am writing to you as Labour Party member number ............ regarding the debacle unfolding under your watch and before our eyes.

And so the take down of Burnham?Labour begins.

Blair had very little bad press because he was mates with Murdoch... Starmer on the other hand prosecuted chequebook journalists & their bent copper mates... he's been smeared from the day he stood for the leadership.

If true...'i' has turned into a gossip mag these days....I hope so.

So basically, Burnham/Streeting & their allies are afraid of calling a leadership challenge - they want PM to just give in. Why? Perhaps fear scrutiny will expose their empty rhetoric compared to the reality of Starmer Govt.? Cowards, no coronation. Starmer! show them how it's done. Fight.

And so he should. A proper debate and analysis of policy and future direction is welcome in a democracy.

Pleased Reform, Restore & Tories trounced big time. Glad Lib Dems/Greens voted tactically. Disappointed in an unforced election anyway. Worried mayoralty will be a failure. Angry Burnham behaves like Johnson did -self interest vs nation's interest. Hopeful members will support Starmer.

So, Precedent wise: This is either Burnham's 'Johnson' moment or his "Kinnock' moment. This unnecessary debacle/side show will damage every party involved but especially Labour. Few Labour enjoy an own goal and fewer general public enjoy a calculated own goal. There will be a reckoning at GE.

I do love this grandstanding by Streeting & Burnham and their teams. Their petty squabbling oneupmanship and verbal diarrhoea really show them up for who they are - egotists with delusions. Fighting each other for the MSM to come to their cause is so unseemly. A bit like the opening scenes in 2001.😂

Starmer responded to Blair with essay/rebuttal forced Burnham/Streeting to respond/reveal their basic weaknesses. But they did it in the open defending or reframing their views subjected to some in person scrutiny. Farage? No! Bunker mentality. Pontificating not listening/ debating. Tyrant in utero

Something must be so right about Starmer - why would Musk, Trump, Farage, Bademoch & MSM work so hard to turn his own colleagues & MPS against him? Why did Russia set fire to his property? Why are they threatened by him? Why do some Labour MPs play the tune these bad actors have written for them?

Yes, The problem with facts for the MSM like this below... is that it is easier to ignore than properly report, investigate and certainly not comment favourable upon...when it spoils your click bait narratives that serve the interests of owners of said media.

Just to give a bit of context to the social media debate, the following countries have / are going to ban social media for under 16’s : Australia Austria Canada Denmark France Germany Greece Indonesia Malaysia Poland Slovenia Spain Turkey United Kingdom

I wonder how Jess Phillips feels now? Starmer's response today is likely to be repeated in defence. Suspect flushing out of disloyal is well under way - a hard lesson being taught to the plotters. Roll on Thursday, let's see what Makerfield really think and with how much conviction.

Burnham appears to be Labours version of Boris Johnson. Both want the role because they always wanted it & so, why can't they have it? Both cite their mayorality's as examples of their experience & success. Both avoid detailed scrutiny beneath the surface of their claims & promises. 1/3

Damn. We need more of this!!

Fuck them. Fuck them all. They’re the opposite of patriotic. And to all the people saying Candace Owen’s, Alex Jones etc are all speaking up on the right side of history- watch this. They’re all for hire; treasonous, greedy, corrupt and vile along with Teeny Ten Names

For Healey and Carns, enough was never enough in the world of defence spending aoav.org.uk/2026/for-hea...

Something interesting I found on Google about recent defence spending 🤷

Tommy Robinson co-ordinated UK protests to the Belfast attack after spending time in a luxury hotel in Russia with Elon Musk’s father Read more: trib.al/iogztzx

This has nothing to do with stopping crime. It is to do with a global far-right movement, coordinated on X, organised by some of the most powerful men in the world from Silicon Valley to the White House inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...

It might be time to review who should be added the proscribed list... Farage and Yaxley Lennon organisations would be on my list...I do hope that today the HoC can unite against Farage and that Starmer takes him on directly in PMQs.

The truth about Reform is in their voting record. They do not care about workers rights, NHS, public services, children, renters rights, the environment, crime or women. #NeverVoteReform

It's almost as if Farage is using Truth Social as his muse - afraid of cross examination? Just say stuff and garner attention. This won't make the investigations go away though - Hopefully, tomorrow in PMQs Starmer will use this to unite all but reform about the quisling facist. Bring it on.

Replies restricted so I'm having to quote post but this is disingenuous, this is a completely unnecessary by-election being held because the sitting Labour MP stood down to facilitate Burnham's ambitions. If he wins another unnecessary Mayoral election will follow, shabby behaviour.

Farage is just a toxic grifter! #Farage

Here's a short summary of some of the measures announced recently to help people with the cost of living.

youtube.com/shorts/Eyt2j... Helping with the impact of the Iran war on the cost of living. Well done Labour.

Farage - 'I've been advised not to hold surgeries for security reasons' - He hadn't. Farage - 'There was an arson attack on my home' - It was an attempted burglary Farage - 'My phone was hacked by Russia' - No report made to the relevant authority. Could there be a pattern here...🤔

This is my favourite explanation of what needs to be done in every society and how to do it too.

This is very clear and precise and of course...correct.. I would add another difference. One tax goes to increase the wealth of individuals/companies. One tax goes straight back to help meet needs and aspirations of the people. Privatisation is a private tax!

Exactly. All Burnham and Streeting have revealed is just how unprepared and unduitable they are to go further. Starmer and Reeve are a great team. I feel safer with them in control.

You know, I'm starting to think No 10 comms has got it's act together. What a great thing Darren Jones MP is doing - a truly great appointment. Fantastic counterpoint to Burnham Streeting and all their sidekicks. Thanks @darrenpjones.bsky,social
