This is spot on - the Labour Party is in danger of throwing the baby out with the bathwater if it topples Starmer. With so much world and economic turbulence the UK needs stability and perseverance not more chop and change.
If the Michelle Mone yacht worth £10 million is confiscated and the £148 million owed to taxpayers is 'paid back' that's £158 million right there in the defence pot.
Oh and let's not forget the £500 million owed in taxes by M'Lord Bamford.

Well done James Murray for getting the #NHS resident doctors strike called off. No extra money this year in new offer. You have great negotiating skills. You achieved what @wesstreeting couldn’t
Here’s an idea, cut MPs expenses (£242.6 million) , freeze their pay, stop catering/alcohol being subsidised (£7 million to £8 )million, House of Lords catering (£3 million) stop daily rate (£23 m total costs £143 mill)
Because difficult choices have to be made to pay 4 defence
Burnham and his bunch of backstabbing shitbags have shown their colours. Disloyalty to our first PM for 14 years less than two years into a government so they can put their 'good bloke down the pub' front and centre stinks.
If they'll betray a PM, they cannot be trusted
Heseltine: It’s time to reverse Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage’s ‘heinous crime’ of Brexit

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is STILL under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.
Please RT this until this until he no longer is.
Thank you
Media covering Musk trillion without any real regard to broader issues of inequality, tech bro abuses of power, his extreme politics. Glad to have been in a primary school this morning where the views on Musk were a lot wiser and less flattering.
Did you know that many people working in supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda still qualify for Universal Credit because their wages aren’t high enough to cover the cost of living?
That’s not a welfare problem. That’s a low-pay economy.
Taxpayers end up subsidising low wages while working people are told to work harder. Britain doesn’t have a benefits culture problem. It has a wage problem.
Interesting that @jamesmurray_ldn, new health secretary managed to stop an impending Doctor’s strike when Wes Streeting had failed to do so and walked out.
Maybe Wes isn’t so clever after all !!
Why am I not surprised that the right wing media controlled by tax exiles keep claiming @Keir_Starmer is unpopular & the @bbc keep quoting them while on this social medium almost all the posts support him?
The strength & sense of duty shown by Keir Starmer are exceptional. To be a PM when the world is filled with so much immorality, selfishness, & hate would be hard for anyone, yet he consistently demonstrates a higher standard. He’s dignified & resolute, no matter the situation.🙌🏼
I’ve just listened to the fuller version of Keir Starmer’s interview with Chris Mason. Every day I’m grateful that he’s our Prime Minister, there’s currently nobody in the Labour Party that comes close. There’s a maturity and seriousness that’s lacking in almost everyone else.
Chris Mason quotes Keir Starmer’s criticism of Boris Johnson.
Mason: “I put it to you that is an accurate description of your predicament right now”
Starmer: “I put it to you that that is wrong and let me explain why”
Spot on Keir! Putting the weasel in his place.

Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.
Whatever people think or feel, my belief is Rachel Reeves has her finger on the pulse and her and our PM are in lockstep on their vision for our country. I trust them both. Neither has disappointed me yet.
The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth.
The definition of evil is being a trillionaire in a world where millions of children are starving.
The royal family is supposedly a tourist attraction. So is Legoland, but that doesn't mean it deserves an annual £90m subsidy from the taxpayer. #AbolishTheMonarchy
