10 years ago Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death in Birstall by a far right thug.
Do you remember the Farage \ Tommy Robinson riots that followed it,
No me neither.

@KevinASchofield Sorry. I find that a complete and utter fantasy. There isn’t a single indicator that shows Starmer as a man who walks away when the going gets tough. Not one. Look at Carns, Streeting, Burnham, Healey. They have nothing in common with Starmer.

@patrickkmaguire And why shouldn't he, it's only commentariat such as yourself who want the drama of political permacrisis. Please give it a rest and do some proper journalism instead of recycled gossip mongering.

Stig Abell @TimesRadio literally saying “Starmer won’t be Prime Minister soon”

That is shocking. That’s not a fact. It’s an opinion at best.

This is how media work. Subliminal suggestion until people believe it’s a fact.

Media shouldn’t be able to do this. @LBC

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

The latest asylum figures show a 58% decrease in the number of asylum cases waiting for an initial decision since Labour took office.

The government's already doing this (like almost everything else Burnham has announced in his bid to 'change the country'). #c4news

[Gordon Fielden @GordonFielden]

This story is about far more than ministers being told to resign if they back Andy Burnham.

If the Financial Times report is accurate, Sir Keir Starmer has effectively drawn a line in the sand. Ministers now have a clear choice. Back Burnham and leave the government, or remain in government and accept collective responsibility under Starmer's leadership.

That means any minister who stays in Cabinet after this warning is, by their actions, signalling support for the Prime Minister. The option of quietly backing Burnham whilst remaining in government has effectively disappeared.

For those ministers who may have been trying to keep a foot in both camps, the political cliff edge has arrived. They must now choose between loyalty to the government they serve or support for a rival leadership candidate. To attempt both would inevitably invite accusations of double dealing and undermine the principle of collective responsibility.

@williamnhutton @franceshinde I recall R4’s Today platforming Nigel Lawson against an actual climate scientist to provide balance

If you can’t find two scientists that disagree with each other on the data and theory, you don’t bring in a charlatan in the oil industry’s pocket to create a non-existent debate.

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

Syed at his best. Uncontested malign disinformation is at crisis levels. But David Yelland’s coda is also on the money. The British right wing print media laid the foundations- it’s part ( and the Leave campaign) should not be forgotten.

[Gordon Fielden @GordonFielden]

The more interesting question is why some on the Left, together with sections of the media, appear so determined to present one outcome as inevitable whilst giving little or no consideration to the alternative.

Every article seems to proceed on the assumption that Andy Burnham's return to Westminster automatically leads to Keir Starmer's departure. Yet there is one rather significant detail being overlooked: Burnham has not even won the by-election yet. The voters have not delivered their verdict, no leadership contest has taken place, and Labour members have not voted on anything.

Despite this, some commentators already write as though Burnham's victory is assured, Starmer's removal is inevitable and the future direction of the Labour Party has been settled. That is not analysis. It is speculation.

Where are the articles examining what happens if Starmer remains leader? What happens to those who have spent months predicting his downfall? What becomes of the factions, commentators and publications that have invested so heavily in a narrative built around his removal?

If Starmer were to remain in place, the story would not be one of leadership intrigue but of a Prime Minister who had secured a renewed mandate and several years in which to continue delivering Labour's programme in government. The focus would return to economic growth, public services, housing, defence, Britain's relationship with Europe and the wider challenges facing the country.

More importantly, stability itself has value. Financial markets, international investors and businesses generally favour certainty over political turmoil. A settled government with a clear mandate is more likely to attract investment, support economic confidence and provide the long term stability that both businesses and households require. Those are factors that rarely feature in articles focused solely on Westminster manoeuvring.

A balanced assessment would examine both possible outcomes. Instead, some appear more interested in advancing a preferred narrative than exploring the full range of political realities. That raises a legitimate question: are we witnessing objective political reporting, or political advocacy presented as journalism?

@ScouseUSALFC @AnfieldEdition @gbsans Especially with Hugo out for so long, it would reduce pressure on his return to target 27/28 for full fitness if Darwin came in on a free.
I think good chance Iraola might be able to unlock his talent better than Slot too.

[The Finance Guy @OneFinanceGuy]

73% of the country detest Nigel Farage. No one can govern when in day one having a rejection like that. The chaos from a Farage premiership would make Truss govt look tame.

Why is #Bbclaurak platforming Zia Yusuf again?!

He’s an unelected millionaire who basically rage baits from his mum’s basement.

It’s almost as if the BBC is sponsored by Reform!

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

Dear the BBC Politics.

I think I can safely speak for approx 89.43% of the UK population when I tell you that Zia Yusuf is not wanted on our TV screens. Again.

He's an unelected party donor using up a seat that could be offered to a credible alternative.

[Imogen @Imogenlemon02]

Wes Streeting says he’ll join a leadership race if someone else triggers one. And Andy Burnham says he’ll join in if Streeting triggers one.

Whilst these ballerinas pirouette around the stage, Keir Starmer ignores the noise of these usurpers and gets on being Prime Minister.

[🅳🅰🅽🅽🆈 🅼🅰🆇🅸🅼 @DannyMaxim]

@theipaper This posturing is becoming absurd now. Burnham says he'll stand if Streeting calls a leadership election whilst Streeting says he won't allow Burnham to stand unchallenged. So who's actually going to initiate?
