When the hype dies down, the problems in Number 10 remain the same for whoever holds the office. Keir Starmer is already governing through them. Stabilised the economy, invested in our public services, and he walks towards the problems, not away.
#LABOURMPS - YOU ARE NOT LISTENING TO THE PUBLIC OR PARTY MEMBERS. If you want to hear what the public think listen to #bbcaq any answers where the majority felt Keir should have his 5 years, & it is clear the party membership majority support #KeirStarmer ((just ask us)
To @Keir_Starmer
I can list a thousand reasons why you should stay and fight, but one of the main reasons is that we need you! That simple. You have steered this country through very choppy waters, and you still have so much more to do. This has been orchestrated by those who
Listen to me very carefully, @AndyBurnhamGM
Everything you are doing right now is going to cost me, my neighbours, my friends, my family, and every single citizen in this country.
As a former top civil servant rightly warned, this manufactured leadership uncertainty is enormously disruptive and it costs us real money.
We are utterly fed up with paying more for food, for housing, and for our daily cost of living just because of characters like you.
Hope? You talk about hope and you framed the Makerfield election around giving us hope. Is this your idea of hope?
To shake the markets, to drive up prices, to make investors walk away, and to stop us from reducing the debt we carry because of politicians like you?
Is that what you call hope?
How many times is this that you are trying to become the leader of the Labour Party?
You chose to pull this stunt mid term, while this government holds a massive majority in parliament.
No reasonable politician who actually cares about their party or the country would ever do this.
Let me tell you, Andy, this selfish behaviour will bury you politically. You only stay relevant while the media pumps your narrative. What truly awaits you is Josh's team, who will gladly stab you in the back at the very first opportunity.
As for Jeremy Corbyn and the rest of the self-proclaimed left wing who cannot accept that they do not lead this party, they need to take responsibility. If you do not like this party, leave.
Go and build your own far-left party and implement your policies there.
My message to you, Andy, is that I will never stop lobbying against your hypocrisy.
Right now, you are just an ordinary MP who means absolutely nothing more. Even that seat was taken through a manufactured plot with Josh, triggering a by-election just to give you a stage for this theatrical performance.
I have only one single message for @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour:
Keep your word. You won the historic election with Keir Starmer as your leader, so stand your ground and get on with the job.

"How on earth have have we ended up in this position?" asks Laura Kuenssberg, who along with Chris Mason, Henry Zeffman and co, have pushed long and hard for us to wind up in exactly this position

@BethRigby Fuck off and do your job properly!
This is NOT news!
This is the right-wing media trying to remove the leader of a democratically elected Labour Government.
Hang your head in shame.

At my coffee morning today constiuents thanked me for backing the PM.
Comments & emails to my support for him have been almost entirely gratitude.
No idea what some of my colleagues are thinking trying to do Farage’s work for him.
We promised no more chaos like the Tory years.
I see absolutely no reason why the Prime Minister should resign. This is nothing more than opportunism from @AndyBurnhamGM . Hes only doing this to further his career. He's lost my respect to be honest. I am a @UKLabour voter but I will not vote for this behaviour.
To be fair to Burnham, if I'd managed to comprehensively lose two leadership elections I'd be keen to find a way to avoid having another one as well. #bbcpm#c4news
@SkyNews@TrevorPTweets Leadership election loser tells leadership election and General Election winner to stand down for two time leadership election loser. That's the position the Labour Party has been brought to as a result of this coup. They don't deserve members' money. They'll be losing mine.
I completely accept that nobody goes into politics expecting fairness, but what @labour and @AndyBurnhamGM are doing to @Keir_Starmer - a pretty competent Prime Minister - strikes me as profoundly unfair. And, that is before it is clearly stupid.
