If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.

On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.

After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.

We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

@AndyBurnhamGM I was a @UKLabour voter at the last GE&locals. I don't want you (and have never voted for you) to become Prime Minister. I don't want you to bring down our elected PM @Keir_Starmer. If you do, I will not vote for Labour again. #justsaying #StarmerMustStay

[Mags in Mordor @gibbsy66]

I don’t want you, @AndyBurnhamGM I will give up completely on the U.K. if you are allowed to steam roll your rotten arse over an elected PM. Disgusting.

[Heather Jeeves 🇪🇺 @HeatherJeeves]

One observation from this Burnham debacle is how utterly useless our political journalists are. What a sad miserable profession it has become.

[Andy @AndyRejoinEU]

I sincerely hope Keir Starmer calls a General Election tomorrow, announcing a manifesto of rejoining the EU and Proportional Representation.

He has the power, it would stop Burnham in his tracks, and a win would be good for the country

[Angry Bird Flies 💙 @Rosiecat2]

No ambiguity from me
I want Starmer to remain in post
If needed I want Starmer to stand
No coronation
I want to know who 350,000 Members want to lead them
I want process followed
I voted Starmer
I want my voice heard
I am a Member

Cut/paste/repost if agree

It’s important Starmer doesn’t resign, because if he does, there is no need for the membership to vote for the new leader and PM.
Starmer’s resignation would ensure Burnham becomes PM.

[Mike Tapp MP @MikeTappTweets]

Is it time to legislate; if a change of leader is forced by its own Party then a General Election must be called.

That would stop the constant churn and focus all politicians on delivery, instead of work place politics. These endless ‘house of cards’ games would end and the country would benefit.

Let’s legislate to focus minds.

[Peter Jukes @peterjukes]

If Starmer takes this route, it is a fitting end. He pledged himself to public service when entered No 10 in 2024, and it is a public service to put the interests of the country above personal ambition.

Unlike Thatcher, Johnson and Truss who had to be defenestrated, he chose

[Alastair Campbell @Al_inDK]

@RishiSunak The impossible job. Massively unrealistic expectations of what a government can do. Everyone unwilling to compromise or accept trade offs. Perception engulfing reality. What's the point

[Viviane: 🌹Labour led by Keir for me @LaindonFEMINIST]

If Starmer goes our country deserves everything it gets. What an absolute waste of a decent PM.

[Thomas | Less Noise, More Delivery @TomSoede]

Open letter to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer

Dear Prime Minister,

I am writing as a Labour supporter who is deeply concerned by the growing pressure surrounding your leadership, but also as someone who has developed a genuine admiration for the way you conduct yourself.

What I respect most about you is your seriousness.

You are not a political showman. You do not rely on constant drama, easy slogans or theatrical promises. You come across as disciplined, intelligent, decent and deeply conscious of the responsibility that comes with leading the country.

In an age when politics is increasingly dominated by noise, outrage and personality cults, your calmness is a strength.

Your resilience is also admirable. You have faced relentless criticism, personal attacks and an often hostile media environment, yet you have continued to behave with dignity. You rarely lash out. You do not appear consumed by ego. You keep returning to the work.

That matters to me.

Britain has already endured years of political chaos, revolving-door prime ministers and governments more interested in internal warfare than governing. The country does not need another leadership contest. It needs stability, seriousness and delivery.

You were elected with a mandate to govern. You inherited damaged public services, weak growth, overcrowded prisons, an NHS under enormous pressure and public trust worn down by fourteen years of Conservative government. None of that can be repaired overnight.

I hope you will remain Prime Minister and continue the work until the next general election in 2029.

Labour MPs should understand that removing you now could trigger weeks of division, uncertainty and damaging promises made during a leadership contest. The press would feed on the chaos, financial markets could react, and Nigel Farage and Reform would be handed exactly the political instability they want.

This is not the time for Labour to imitate the Conservative Party.

I also believe your personality is better suited to this difficult period than many people appreciate. You are methodical rather than impulsive, measured rather than reckless, and focused on governing rather than performing.

Those qualities may not always generate exciting headlines, but they are the qualities a serious Prime Minister needs.

Leadership is not only about popularity. It is about character.

It is about remaining calm when others panic, showing discipline when others chase attention, and continuing the difficult work when the noise becomes unbearable.

Please hold the line.

Many Labour supporters still believe in your integrity, your determination and your sense of duty. Britain needs less political theatre and more delivery, and you deserve the opportunity to complete the job the country elected Labour and you to do.

Yours sincerely,

Thomas Soede

[Crazy (Crikey!) Foxy @cels1952]

Why do the left wing of @Labour think they need to be more left wing to stop people leaving and voting for a far right Reform party? It doesn't make sense. They are poles apart and most of the UK favours a more centre left party. Reform voters are never going to vote left wing.

[Paul Vick @PaulVick138203]

Do you think Sir Keir Starmer and his government have done a good job running the country?🤔
Repost after voting please.

[BeeNoticed @BeeNoticed]

No @rosie_wrighting, our PM @Keir_Starmer does not need to resign.

#Burnham is the one who is going to destroy his own government and party. Shame on you all.

#StarmerMustStay

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Sir Keir Starmer "needs to resign" Kettering MP Rosie Wrighting says. He risks tainting his record if the Labour Party descends into a bitter leadership contest, she adds.

But Starmer's biographer Tom Baldwin says resigning is 'not where his head is at'

[Patrina Finch #FBPE @Siege_Perilous]

As @UKLabour MP, if you don’t stand by Starmer now and force him out, you’ll have capitulated to the far-right billionaire-owned media who will rain carnage down on Burnham and force him to a GE. Are you so blindly naive that you can’t see Bannon’s hand behind all this?

[Viviane: 🌹Labour led by Keir for me @LaindonFEMINIST]

14 fecking years.

I waited painfully. In horror.

And in 2 years my own team has fecked me over.

Once again horror struck.

[Viviane: 🌹Labour led by Keir for me @LaindonFEMINIST]

If like me you believe Keir Starmer has earned the right to complete his term and mandate and I don’t already follow you please give me a wave so I can put that right

[Elizabeth Bangs -No accountability? No democracy. @ElizabethBangs]

Burnham wins a safe Labour seat offered up to him as a gift in his own backyard, a place where he has *massive* name recognition and after a pile in of unprecedented resources and media attention and we're supposed to read across from this a lesson for the whole country?
Mad. 🤷‍♀️
