Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

[Raxa Mehta @RaxaMehta]

@sonofr Couldn’t agree more. It was Cameron’s hubris and arrogance that made him think he’d have no problem winning the referendum. He should have insisted on a 2/3rds majority to change our EU membership.

[Raxa Mehta @RaxaMehta]

@implausibleblog So why did he call a referendum? He has a lot to answer for. Ed Miliband was saying time and time again that he wasn’t going to waste parliamentary time on this referendum. The country should have heeded him then.

Keir Starmer’s place in history is assured. We owe Keir a debt of gratitude for taking Labour from its worst electoral defeat in 2019, bringing Labour back into government with a huge majority in 2024 and then guiding Britain through difficult times nationally and globally.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Keir, thank you for all our cooperation, your support, and the joint decisions that have helped make our Europe and our protection of life stronger.

The United Kingdom has been, is, and will remain among the world’s leaders. Here in Ukraine, we deeply value Britain, and every meeting and every conversation we have had has always been filled with real substance.

Thank you for always being in touch, always engaged, and always striving to do what is needed and what will truly help.

I wish the United Kingdom and all British people every success as well as realisation of your national goals. We have confidence in Britain.

Keir, you are always a welcome guest in Ukraine.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years.

European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you.

Thank you, dear Keir.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

It has been a privilege to work alongside Sir Keir Starmer as he has led international efforts to support Ukraine through the Coalition of the Willing, strengthen NATO, improve Arctic cooperation, and deepen the historic partnership between Canada and the United Kingdom.

Throughout, and in the face of exceptional challenges, Keir has acted with principle, determination, and collaboration. The world is safer and allies are more united because of his efforts.

Keir, thank you for your lifetime of public service. I am grateful for your friendship, and I wish you all the best as you concentrate on your "most important job.”

@JonathanPieNews Lighten up. What’s wrong with being green?

@MrHarryCole Wish The Sun would take the side of the British people and not the far right Putin loving fascists in the USA

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Pathetic little man. Helps fuel race riots to take the heat off the limited media probing into his crypto financing. Avoids anything but tame interviews which allow him to spout his slogans. Takes sides with a fascist South African tech bro also whipping up racial hatred against the elected PM of UK, the country he claims to love and wants to lead. Demands apologies for word slips on the BBC (which made him). Yet to apologise for the Brexit which has made British people financially worse off (not him though)

Has Andy Burnham considered the cost of TW’s debt that the tax payer would acquire? https://t.co/RmPungnokX

[Raxa Mehta @RaxaMehta]

@Wwfcwolf1 And I’m guessing that @Keir_Starmer is not mentioned even once. Yet still ……

[Philip O'Connor @PhilipOConnor5]

If you, like me, feel that we are fortunate to have @Keir_Starmer as our Prime Minister please repost. I am not even a member of the Labour Party.

[Raxa Mehta @RaxaMehta]

Agree @bbclaurak @BBCr4today

[Raxa Mehta @RaxaMehta]

@Tush27J @HenryCPorter @Peston @BethRigby @SamCoatesSky Also include @bbclaurak @ChrisMasonBBC in that list

[Raxa Mehta @RaxaMehta]

@UKLabour do your job and hold
These people to account.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

[Gwynoro Jones @Gwynoro]

Not a Labour Party member, but this is not bad in less than 2 years. Suggest Labour MPs, party members and wannabe leaders get a grip and do their stuff.

[Raxa Mehta @RaxaMehta]

@Gwynoro @pollytoynbee Not to mention the start of reform of the House of Lords and increases in wind and solar energy and plans for nuclear energy…… funny how @BBCPolitics @BBCr4today @bbclaurak @BBCNews @BBCNewsnight don’t seem interested in covering any of this. @RestIsPolitics
