Darren Jones has now been removed from his Cabinet Office role, which, in my view, comes as no surprise. Andy Burnham will undoubtedly recognise that Jones represents one of the most significant potential challengers to his leadership of the Labour Party. I believe he possesses many of the qualities required to lead the party in the future, continues to enjoy considerable support among many members, and is one of the few figures capable of genuinely uniting and galvanising the party behind a common purpose.

Throughout the events surrounding Sir Keir Starmer's departure, Jones remained steadfast in his support for the Prime Minister. In my opinion, loyalty of that kind deserves recognition and, in time, should be rewarded. I have little doubt that we shall see Darren Jones return to the forefront of British politics before too long.

Finally, I would simply like to say thank you for the work he undertook. In my view, he achieved something that many others within the Labour Party could not: he challenged the prevailing narrative in parts of the mainstream media and stood by his principles throughout.

I was with him yesterday amongst so many who he has supported by challenging the system and introducing laws to prevent and protect…I observed total respect and a sense of loss and I observed his humanity, dedication, and grace in Departure. I believe my eyes, ears and those who actually know above the Tittle Tattle and name calling of foreign influence and those who simply serve to bring down. We have lost a good man with good intent, We will know that too soon,

Hello @Morrisons - Hi

How come my Morrisons £10 discount code doesn’t work on Trainline’s website or its App. Have tried numerous ways and it’s simply not accepted.

@KemiBadenoch Says the woman who was a member of the Party and the Government that hollowed out our armed services and public services. She's a mendacious truth-twister. Fourteen years they had and all they offered up was Austerity and Brexit. Both left us poorer and more vulnerable.

Dicky is lying again 🤷‍♂️ any gas or oil would be the property of private companies who would sell it at international prices 🙄 if only Thatcher hadn’t privatised it on the cheap to her mates 🤷‍♂️

@ZiaYusufUK You’re not the Shadow Home Secretary, you truth-twisting gobshite. You’re not even an elected politician.

[Dr Andrew Clutterbuck @MMI_Andrew]

@LaindonFEMINIST And @Peston - that’s Robert Peston.

[Dr Andrew Clutterbuck @MMI_Andrew]

@RobertJenrick You mendacious, twisted, hypocrite.

@TomTugendhat Liar!

[Adrian Edmondson ❎ @AdrianEdmondson]

So bored of news outlets trying to write the news rather than report it.

[Dr Andrew Clutterbuck @MMI_Andrew]

@LBC Why the inverted commas for ‘supports’? Suggests it’s qualified or somehow doubted.

After getting pretty much everything wrong yesterday Sam Coates and Chris Mason’s jobs are hanging by a thread and the smell of resignation hangs in the air.
Close friends are calling their positions untenable and it seems to be a case of when rather than if they go.

[Dr Andrew Clutterbuck @MMI_Andrew]

@BBCBreaking @deane258 About time too. Where were you in making calls for this to be investigated?

[Martin Cymbal💚 @cymbal_martin]

Bloody idiot..........he's obviously spent far too long listening to the poison from you lot. The UK would be far, far, far, better off without you bunch of corrupt, privileged, gossiping, self serving, wastrels? What the hell do any of you actually deliver ..... other than chaos?

[Dr Andrew Clutterbuck @MMI_Andrew]

@BBCPolitics Good riddance. Treachery and backstabbing isn’t what this country needs.

[Dr Andrew Clutterbuck @MMI_Andrew]

@NadiaWhittomeMP Shame on you!

[Dr Andrew Clutterbuck @MMI_Andrew]

@BethRigby ‘Government source’ - FFS!!!! This is stalking, harassment, bullying, victimisation. Grow up and get on with being a proper journalist.

[Dr Andrew Clutterbuck @MMI_Andrew]

@Peston You’re just the same as @ChrisMasonBBC: a sh*t-stirring weasel.

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

Quite… I will put it another way… to change leaders now is utter madness…
