Dear Twitter friends that I've been lucky enough to get to know over the last 12+ years, regretfully, the time has come to take my leave..💔
This is no longer the platform for me. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to exchange Tweets over the years. I will miss you.
@ArsenalN7 For the first few years I just called it Ashburton Grove, but in the end I relented..now I feel it would be weird to call it anything else.. lol
@sam_zoya5401 I'm so sorry..what an awful shock for you! 😔 I have 2 Tuxedos, a brother and sister and I'd be lost without them. They're special cats! Sending a hug, even though I don't know you..🫂
@PippaCrerar He's a [email protected] give him more attention than he deserves. The majority of people in uk hate him, but the plc he owns..er sorry..political party (sic) pay for lots of bots to dupe people into thinking otherwise.
@KiMcGuinness The time was not right and people will realise in time they were duped. But it will be too late then and we're all going to suffer as a result. Thanks a bunch to the idiots who orchestrated this..
I am never going to stop being angry about this. Little puppets on strings pulled by corporate millionaires. Claim they're doing it for the good of the country..what a flaming joke they all are! They'll get what's coming, and we'll all suffer #UKisajoke
Fuck Burnham for absolutely ruining Labour's chance to givern for a full term.
Also to blame:
Lisa Nandy
Wes Streeting
Jess Philips
Al Carns
Louise Haigh
Josh Simons
Luke Charters
And many more selfish, uncaring unpatriotic bastards.
@supertanskiii Because its exactly what Reform wanted, and they are laughing now..? I am absolutely furious that this whole circus has cost us the best leader we've had for years!
Well that marked the end of our brief two years as a serious country again. Well done everyone.
Back to vibes, shits and giggles it is.
Britain is done.
I am ashamed.
I am beyond furious at the self serving idiots who forced this. @UKLabour I am done with you, you are an absolute joke and you will rue this day for ever. You think you got what you wanted, you have no idea the damage you have done. But you will... @AndyBurnhamGM

Open statement to UK broadcasters and the press.
As a Labour member, I am deeply alarmed by the one-sided media coverage around our democratically elected Prime Minister , Keir Starmer.
You are becoming a democracy blocker by giving oxygen to anonymous briefings, factional pressure and anti-Starmer narratives while failing to fairly represent Labour members and MPs who support our Prime Minister.
Listen to me very carefully, @AndyBurnhamGM
Everything you are doing right now is going to cost me, my neighbours, my friends, my family, and every single citizen in this country.
As a former top civil servant rightly warned, this manufactured leadership uncertainty is enormously disruptive and it costs us real money.
We are utterly fed up with paying more for food, for housing, and for our daily cost of living just because of characters like you.
Hope? You talk about hope and you framed the Makerfield election around giving us hope. Is this your idea of hope?
To shake the markets, to drive up prices, to make investors walk away, and to stop us from reducing the debt we carry because of politicians like you?
Is that what you call hope?
How many times is this that you are trying to become the leader of the Labour Party?
You chose to pull this stunt mid term, while this government holds a massive majority in parliament.
No reasonable politician who actually cares about their party or the country would ever do this.
Let me tell you, Andy, this selfish behaviour will bury you politically. You only stay relevant while the media pumps your narrative. What truly awaits you is Josh's team, who will gladly stab you in the back at the very first opportunity.
As for Jeremy Corbyn and the rest of the self-proclaimed left wing who cannot accept that they do not lead this party, they need to take responsibility. If you do not like this party, leave.
Go and build your own far-left party and implement your policies there.
My message to you, Andy, is that I will never stop lobbying against your hypocrisy.
Right now, you are just an ordinary MP who means absolutely nothing more. Even that seat was taken through a manufactured plot with Josh, triggering a by-election just to give you a stage for this theatrical performance.
I have only one single message for @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour:
Keep your word. You won the historic election with Keir Starmer as your leader, so stand your ground and get on with the job.

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
@Keir_Starmer Please do not resign. You would be letting down the many of us who want stability and think you're doing ok. There are forces out there paying to create division and people (including your colleagues) have fallen for it. It woud destroy @UKLabour. Mark my words!!
