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...
“You’re very rude to me, aren’t you?”
“I am very rude to you because of what you’ve done to my country.”
James O’Brien is less than impressed with Brexit voter Richard.
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey calls for the prime minister to create a new type of visa for rich Americans who want to flee from Donald Trump.
Sir Keir Starmer said he would 'welcome all forms of investment to the UK'.

James Timpson OBE @JamesTCobbler has been appointed Minister of State (Minister for Prisons, Parole and Probation) in the Ministry of Justice @MoJGovUK.
Absolute abattoir-scale bloodbath for the Tories.

Not again! I have NOT given my permission to be used in political adverts. This is NOT an endorsement by me in any way. I maintain strict party neutrality and am unhappy at the weaponizing of my reputation in this way.
While this isn't as bad as the first terrible representation – which said it this about tax - there's still a misdirection. As I’ve already stated, in that private conversation I was referring to Labour hoping to make a positive change I’ve been campaigning for, but it didn’t want to lock it in the manifesto as it can’t promise to deliver.
NO party’s manifesto tells the full story. ALL parties have things they hope to do but that aren’t in manifestos – as they can’t guarantee to deliver. The idea that Labour is an outlier for that is preposterous.
Lads, you literally put the son of a KGB spy in the House of Lords & refused to investigate Russian interference in U.K. politics. Pack it in, you look ridiculous.
Apparently over 80,000 people had registered to vote by 10am which is a bit of a record. Let's keep breaking records. You can only vote for the party you support if you register. Pls RT. RT like the wind.
Nick Robinson, "People look at Nigel Farage and think he is a sunday roast with all the trimmings and you're a quinoa salad"
Rishi Sunak, "Well.. I think.. The policies are what matter.. The substance is what matters"
Not the best wording given that there's no way a quinoa salad could compensate for a sunday roast with all the trimmings 🙃
The timing of the election might cause problems for some, esp students coming to the end of term or those who have holidays booked (whoever they intend to vote for). The solution is to apply for a postal vote. Here’s the link to do so. Please share.

End of day report from Hispi Bistro last night. We cooked for 20 people but only 17 of them paid.
It’s gutting but unfortunately part of running restaurants.
Anyway… MORNING
The swing towards Labour in Blackpool South is historic.
To those who put their trust in us: thank you.
Our new Labour MP @ChrisWebbMP has shown that after years of Tory neglect, there is a better alternative.
Britain is demanding change. It’s time for a general election.
