@MooseAllain I was once in a toilet cubicle and could hear a woman waiting outside with hiccups. Trying to be friendly, I smiled and said “You need to hold your breath!” The disgusted look she shot me told me that she didn’t think I was referring to her hiccups!

He’s just cost them the money! Sandra was by far the strongest player and she was pressing her button all the time. He was diving in and guessing! #thechase

[Joan S @Jargent]

@lal537 She could have just taken a deep breath! Some of her questions were ridiculously easy. He so deserved to win! Terrible programme!

[Filly ☘️ @fillypepper]

As a longstanding @LabourParty member I echo the sentiments below. I take exception to what some #labourmps are doing, and offer you @Keir_Starmer my full support and future vote.

[𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙤 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @LeftNatLeft]

Right so Keir Starmer has reduced immigration by over 70%, kept us out of the Iran War, massively boosted defence spending, reduced NHS waiting times, and started growing the economy again.

But we should sack him off for Burnham in under 2 years because Manchester has £2 buses?

[Richard Sefton @richardosefton]

This isn’t even debatable. Sadly the main reason people hate Starmer is because they’ve been told to.
He hasn’t been perfect but he hasn’t killed thousands of people, or taken us into an illegal war, or wiped billions off our economy etc etc etc

[Joan S @Jargent]

David just cost them the money! He dived in when he didn’t know the answer, not giving the other two a chance. You could see Kevin pressing the button. #thechase

[Joan S @Jargent]

@chrismullinexmp We already have a PM, and he should remain as such until he’s voted out by the British people.

[Ted Smith 🇪🇺 @TedUrchin]

The fuckwits on the Labour back benches are virtually handing the keys of No10 to Farage and Reform.
I’m am beyond disgusted with every single one of them.
Traitorous bastards they are, short-sighted and spineless.
@UKLabour

[Julie Street 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 @Juliest101]

The only people who need to resign today are the political journalists and editors at @BBCNews and @SkyNews

I've never seen such a downright sinister plot to remove a democratically elected sitting PM.

Our media is absolutely fucking toxic.

[Joan S @Jargent]

@CentreLeft_ If what they’ve done leads to a General Election, they all deserve to lose their seats!

[Brendan May @bmay]

Who should be Labour Leader? Reply if other.

[Joan S @Jargent]

@LindaAizlewood @williamnhutton While at the same time trying to fix practically every system in the country, broken by the Tories, and having no money to do it, since being crippled by Brexit, bleeding any hope of GDP growth!

[Joan S @Jargent]

@Hepworthclare Exactly! I’m sick of the right wing journalists on the @BBCNews and @LBC , asking “Why is Starmer so unpopular?” Could it be because you have done nothing but spout negativity about him for the last two years?

[Joan S @Jargent]

@BenKentish @LBC I would like a return to the days when the PM was voted out at the end of a parliament, by the people, if they weren’t happy with him. And not pushed out by orchestrated manoeuvres from press moguls who want to hive away all their money rather than pay their fair share of taxes!

[Paul Vick @PaulVick138203]

Do you think Sir Keir Starmer needs to urgently bring in Leveson 2 to sort out the media madness?🤔
Repost after voting please.

[Joan S @Jargent]

@PaulVick138203 @brian_welsh Absolutely! Billionaires owning the msm are undermining our democracy, because they are promoting their own interests rather than the interests of the country.

[Joan S @Jargent]

@CentreLeft_ @MFIJake @Tom4EWAS What they don’t seem to realise is that if they force Starmer out and it somehow leads to a General Election, they will in all likelihood lose their seats to Reform!

[Kathy @CentreLeft_]

I waited 14yrs for a Labour government & these backbenchers have decided to throw it back in my face by calling on the only Labour leader to win an election since 2005 to resign. I’m disgusted with each and every single one of them including my own MP, @Tom4EWAS

[Joan S @Jargent]

@TedUrchin @malsimons I support Starmer!

[Joan S @Jargent]

Absolutely every word of this analysis of how @Keir_Starmer has been treated, is spot on! @UKLabour should calm down and instigate Levenson II at the first opportunity!
