Brilliant.

@GeorgeAylett Those were different times. At this juncture a leadership contest for a foregone conclusion would be damaging to the country (and his Party).

Wouldn't say Finch lost legitimacy - he never had it in the first place.

It says everything about Deform that they elected an actual student politician to run the authority.

And, to no surprise whatsoever, he's proving to be way out of his depth.

@ImpressionistAL Can you believe betting odds here - Kane is same price as Dembele to win the golden boot …

[richard bacon @richardpbacon]

It makes me happy that Tony Blair’s intervention achieved nothing and has been totally forgotten.

It rained every day for the first 4 months of the year. These pronouncements happen because of years of under investment in reservoirs by our privatised water industry. But at least it’s made a load of shareholders rich!

@danbloom1 By stability they mean no such thing, they mean permanent austerity

Half of Reform’s 8 MPs(Jenrick, Braverman, Kruger & Rosindell) were elected as Cons then refused to fight by-elections.

I’d like a legal change to auto General Elections after governing parties change PMs but ours is a Parly not Presidential system and Nigel Farage a hypocrite

@RossMcCaff @alysdenby @CityAM I’m going to have the tune stuck in my head all day now

[Max @MaxyPi]

To @UKLabour MPs Starmer allies who want to just be “throwing their hat in the ring” to force a contest, you are delusional, peevish, and self serving. What is the point. The by-election result pretty much spoke for the country, and a result you would be deeply disliked.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.

Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.

That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.

The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Keir has given huge service to our country and I want to thank him for his leadership and dedication during such a challenging period.

His decision marks the beginning of a transition and it is important that this process is conducted in an orderly and responsible way. I will put myself forward as part of this process.

The country expects stability, seriousness and a continued focus on the issues that matter most and that is what it will get.

As we move forward, our priority must be to work together to get the country back to where we all want it to be. People want to see progress on economic growth, cost of living, public services, housing and opportunities for the next generation. Political change should never distract from the responsibility to improve people's lives.

The Labour movement has always been at its strongest when it looks forward with confidence and purpose. This is what we will do from here and we will make sure this transition is a positive process of renewal for our party and our country.

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

The irony being that that was one of his better speeches.

[Max @MaxyPi]

@AboutMcr One of the first things Andy @AndyBurnhamGM should do is to replace Reeves as chancellor. It will be difficult to achieve anything he has in mind if Rachel is sticking around at No. 11

[Max @MaxyPi]

@EdwardJDavey Ed if Andy doesn’t replace Reeves with someone closer to his agenda then he won’t be able to change anything because she has no imagination of how to get us out of the economic quagmire

[Max @MaxyPi]

@Jamie_Dagg I think it is quite a common view here. Regardless of party allegiances, what people want for themselves and society is quite cohesive. For the mayoralty for me it will be a toss up between Labour or Green - whichever candidate is most likely to unify voters to beat Reform.
