@Peston Interesting stream of consciousness, for me it has to be a “put up or shut up” approach and Starmer should fight it if it comes.
Burnham has (potentially) weaselled his way to the House and his (potential) win has nothing to do with the larger fight against Reform.

Good morning from a rainy London

@bbclaurak “Mandelson’s mate” resigning but not putting up speaks volumes. The government needs to get on with the job and keep the good news coming. Economic growth and waiting lists are down but all the airwaves want to hear is psychodrama. Well done @wesstreeting

[Tim Stanley @timothy_stanley]

The economy grew and waiting lists are down so, er, dump the prime minister?

[David Burling @DaveBurling]

@BBCPolitics @bbclaurak @hzeffman Well done @wesstreeting , great job in continuing the psychodrama and turning the nation’s attention away from the continuing improvements being made across the country. If you think anyone will trust a “mate of Mandelson” you are deluded.

@RidgeandFrost @SkyNews @jeremycorbyn @WilfredFrost You know the latest figures for economic growth came out today? How about a bit of analysis of that?

Media priorities again. Stronger than expected economic news taking third place behind psychodrama. Rayner and “Mandelson’s mate” should reflect the impact they have when they bemoan the government’s failure to get its message across. #labour #bbcnews #growth

The asylum backlog has also more than halved.

Odd that such progress is barely mentioned by Labour.

Reform led Lincolnshire County Council is looking to close its only two remaining respite centres for adults with severe disabilities. No consultation and no engagement with the families of service users.

@RupertLowe10 @houseofcromwell @EdwardJDavey From who? We already have our country!

[David Burling @DaveBurling]

@bbclaurak Maybe, just maybe, the proper way to do things is not on national tv to a “journalist” who is clear where their loyalties lie.
I’m sure you will continue to ask why like a five year old until you get what you want.

[David Burling @DaveBurling]

@RupertLowe10 Good to know you’re on the side of child pornographers. Big voting bloc there.
If @X is able to prevent @grok from producing these images then that will avoid any action surely.

Man who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax and moved his business to Singapore after the Brexit he voted for needs your sympathy.

[Edward Levey @ED_LeveyKC]

@RobertJenrick @DXW_KC @DailyMail A quick reminder that you were the minister in charge of immigration at the same time that the Tory Govt (of which you were a member) was "working tirelessly" to secure Fattah's release and bring him to the UK.
