So now a party and its leader has to not only win a general election, but all subsequent locals, be popular in opinion polls, loved in dodgy vox pops and on mythical doorsteps and get the approval of focus groups every single day for the whole 5 years or face summary eviction?
OK

Wretched! (The cut, not the programme.)

[Robin Lustig @robinlustig]

Very sad to learn that Radio 4's The World Tonight is to be killed off in the latest round of BBC cuts. It has a long and honourable history as one of the more thoughtful BBC news programmes and I am proud to have been associated with it for more than twenty years.

@sandgrouse01 Terrific stuff with thecPec Sand too!

[Fr Kevin @FrK_citizen]

Excellent!

This Labour government intends to bring facilities staff in-house when their contract ends.

I am proud that this will be the largest wave of insourcing in a generation as we deliver on our commitment to Making Work Pay.

@GordonFielden @ScotNational If Burnham succeeds in ousting Keir, @UKLabour will have scammed the electorate, and will never be trusted again. @UKLabour campaigned on a manifesto and after 2yrs change direction, with another one? @UKLabour will be finished. Why believe anything they say again?

Labour rebels. Be careful what you wish for. If you think you are unpopular now, just wait to see what happens if you let this fraudulent chancer anywhere near leadership. If you think he'll save your seat, I've a bridge to sell you!

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.

At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Wiggenhall St Peter's church is one of Norfolk's most evocative ruins. Set next to the Great Ouse, the extant fabric dates mostly from the 15th century, although probably built on the site of an earlier church. Its roof was removed by the 1930s. It was only deconsecrated last year.

On the zoom call organised by @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer was the polar opposite of the image presented of him by media and those who want to take him down. He was chatty, informal, funny and serious about what’s important. He’s inspiring. Love him to bits! #starmerisstaying

[Michael. @cawleym1]

@LBC @KarlTurnerMP There are people in labour who hate being in government. They don't want their hands on the levers of power. Two years in and labour have delivered nearly 70% of their manifesto pledges. Three years to go and they plot to remove the best prime minister in 16 years. Idiots.

[Fr Kevin @FrK_citizen]

Sadly so.

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

The Guardian has an article today stating that Dan Jarvis might only be Defence Secretary for a few weeks.

So they’re still talking up a coronation of Burnham despite being told from the horses mouth that it is not going to happen.

The Guardian, only fit for the bin nowadays
