Same here.
People are actually quite angry at the presumption of would be contenders

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Being a dad is my greatest joy.

Today, I’m thinking about my dad, and the father I am to my children because of him.

Happy Father’s Day.

Tracey Johnson, 55, the woman who saved that child from the crocodile.

Do better, media.

Straight poll

You decide who you want as PM

Please share far and wide

Thank you

@darrenpjones @nowayjomo Darren, I’m genuinely upset with all that’s happening with Andy. The thing that upsets me the most, is thinking of Keir feeling like everyone hates him & he’s done an awful job as PM! It’s simply not true. He is an exemplary PM & so many of us believe in him. Please let him know

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Your reminder that Andrew Tate and his brother are facing multiple charges of rape and sex trafficking.

It’s like living in a fucking Brass Eye episode.

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

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

Message to 2024 Labour intake MPs:

Be bloody grateful Keir Starmer secured you a good job. Show your gratitude. Do a good job for your constituents who voted you in on his mandate. Which is being completed in record time.

Backstab at your peril.

[Paul Castle @Goto_paulcastle]

Maureen, I think that's exactly the point.
Too much of the discussion has become about whether Keir Starmer is loved, rather than whether he is delivering. Politics is not a popularity contest. It is a responsibility.
He rebuilt Labour. He won the mandate. He inherited a difficult inheritance and is doing the hard work of government. That deserves a fair judgement, not a premature succession debate.

"He is not going to walk away"

Housing Secretary Steve Reed tells Sky's @SophyRidgeSky that Keir Starmer has made his position clear and he won't walk away from being prime minister

[AdrianCrick @AdrianCrick]

All this talk of Starmer "gracefully stepping down" etc . . .
Why should he?
So the rebels don't have to put their money where their mouth is?
So Burnham can hijack Starmer's hard unglamorous successful work without doing it??

[Andy Thompson @mexicola25]

This is what I don't like, and this is what makes me uneasy about what is happening, Burnham is in no position to "demand" anything of anyone, not least Starmer, nobody has elected him to do anything but be a MP, the arrogant entitlement is gross. These "allies" need to shut up.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

This is the way to deal with these clowns and charlatans

[Kevin Craig @KevinCraigUK]

Was delighted to knock on doors for @andy4makerfield this week and to have seen his potential back in 2015. It’s so important he won and beat @reformparty_uk

But @Keir_Starmer should go nowhere.

He has the mandate. He is the PM the public voted for when they gave @UKLabour the privilege to serve. He took @UKLabour from the wilderness.

We are not even two years in to turning the country around for the better.

We promised an end to chaos.

We promised to put the country first and to pull together. So much progress made.

Mistakes also made. Lessons learned.

The public voted for stability.

@Keir_Starmer is the @UKLabour Prime Minister and has earned the right to carry on to do the job he was elected to do.

[Jennifer Robinson @welshroots]

Andy Burnham has TWiCE run unsuccessfully for the leadership of Labour Party.
Now he thinks his victory in a BY ELECTION gives him the right to enter Downing Street through the back door THE NERVE of The MAN

DIRTY TRICKS !!!!

[CHOOSE LOVE 🌹 @K4Owen]

More than 300 MPs have not asked Keir Starmer to leave 🌹✌️

[florence @Crowberrygully1]

@Steven_Swinford 403 Lab MPs, do the math. Cabinet must show what are made of & stand with SKS. Burnham won in a place he was known, against a poor Reform candidate, who was fighting Restore. Doesn't translate to the country. Change - what change, where are the policies? Need more than vibe.

[@johnandi#FBPE#GTTO#LetsTryUBI#FollowBackFriday @johnandi]

If Burnham REALLY wanted to put country first, he would never have embarked on this insanity. It is sheer arrogance and raw ambition. The country does not come into his calculations at all, as far as I can see.
