Who would be the best Prime Minister of the UK?
Don’t forget to retweet far and wide please.
Oh, I’ve left off Wes Streeting. He has no chance in any case, the wet wimp, but have included Darren Jones, a potential strong contender.
Please add an alternative if you wish.

@Keir_Starmer @labourpress Don’t resign! Please stay on as PM. You have the mandate of the U.K. - not just one small constituency. Labour needs to complete the job, and the only person up to that is you.
If some cabinet members aren’t behind you - recruit different ones!!

[Ben 🇬🇧 @BenInRushcliffe]

This is a kind letter and Wes should feel a little shame for his.

Andy Burnham repeatedly rejected calls for a public inquiry into the deaths and poor care of patients at Mid Staffs Hospital. This country doesn’t need a PM who defends the establishment and ignores patients and relatives. #Burnham #Labour

More good news on NHS wait times today!

Waiting lists down 110,000 in March

WE HIT OUR ELECTIVES WAIT TARGET DESPITE STRIKES at 65.3%

Add to that improving ambulance response times, ED wait times plus more GPs & Mental Health specialist recruited.

Lots achieved, lots to do

Today we've announced the largest above-inflation increase to the Minimum Income Guarantee in over a decade.

Helping working-age disabled adults pay for everyday essentials.

We've also confirmed £723m that could fund home adaptations for around 60,000 older and disabled people.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Farage has announced his Shadow Cabinet, with no Health Secretary.

Presumably because if he becomes Prime Minister, there’ll be no NHS.

The level of personal hostility directed at Keir Starmer over the last week deserves scrutiny in its own right. Not because he should be immune from criticism, but because the tone and intensity of the attacks tell us something unhealthy about the state of democratic politics.

1. Starmer is a conventional political figure. Cautious, legalistic, incremental. He frustrates people precisely because he is managerial rather than messianic. Yet the reaction to him often goes far beyond disagreement, tipping into visceral hatred more commonly reserved for authoritarians or demagogues.

2. Much of this hostility is disconnected from concrete policy. It is not about specific votes, proposals or outcomes, but about projection. A belief that Starmer embodies betrayal, bad faith or hidden malice. That kind of politics runs on suspicion rather than evidence.

3. This matters because democracy depends on the assumption of good faith among opponents. You can think a leader is wrong, timid, or misguided without believing they are fundamentally illegitimate. Once politics becomes moralised to the point of demonisation, compromise is reframed as treachery and pluralism as weakness.

4. The pattern is familiar. In fragmented, polarised systems, anger concentrates not on extremists, whose intentions are clear, but on moderates, who disappoint maximalists on all sides. The centre becomes the lightning rod precisely because it resists totalising narratives.

5. There is also a media and online dynamic at work. Incentives reward outrage, not proportionality. Algorithms favour contempt over analysis. Over time, this creates a political culture in which relentless personal attack feels normal, even virtuous, rather than disgusting.

6. None of this is a defence of Starmer’s decisions, instincts or record. Those should be argued over robustly as you do in a democracy. The problem is the substitution of critique with hostility and the quiet erosion of democratic norms that follows when political opponents are treated as enemies rather than rivals.

7. A democracy cannot function if every election is framed as an existential struggle against internal evil. At some point, the target may change, but the damage to trust, restraint and culture remains.

Stop making excuses

@AndyBurnhamGM Just what we don’t need. An attempt to destabilise the Party, just when things are starting to turn around.

@RestIsPolitics LOVED LOVED LOVED your interview with Lady Hale.
You ought to interview her daughter, Julia Hoggett, CEO of London Stock Exchange. Just as impressive.
