THE QUESTION NOBODY WANTS TO ANSWER
Something curious is happening in Westminster.
Keir Starmer lists achievements that critics said were impossible.
The economy stabilising.
Waiting lists falling.
Migration coming down.
Britain rebuilding relationships abroad.
Yet the conversation is not about whether those achievements matter.
It is about who should inherit them.
That should give us pause.
Because there are two very different arguments.
One says Starmer has failed.
The other says Burnham won a by-election.
Those are not the same thing.
One is a verdict on government.
The other is an opportunity spotted by ambitious people.
And perhaps the greatest irony of all is this:
The louder the talk of a "calm", "dignified" and "consensual" handover becomes, the less it sounds like unity and the more it sounds like power.
Politics is full of people who want the crown.
Britain needs people willing to carry the burden.
Keir Starmer inherited a country that was broken.
He rebuilt the party.
He won the mandate.
Now he is doing the difficult work of rebuilding the nation.
That is not a reason to replace him.
It is a reason to let him finish the job.

@narindertweets @sphere333 How else is one supposed to be removed from a pub, as is the landlord’s prerogative? She wasn’t really manhandled. She must have been behaving pretty badly beforehand. It’s not really humiliating for her: live by the sword, die by the sword goes the saying. Bit of karma there too

[Matthew SE1 🇪🇺 @SouthwarkMatt]

@TRobinsonNewEra Sounds like a great pub. Must give it a visit to support them.

[Andrew Parnall @dontbrexitfixit]

Please remember, in order for Dorries to become mayor of the great city of Manchester, she will need more votes than any other candidate. And that means there must be more gullible racist, xenophobic bigots voting for her than ordinary decent people who don't. Not going to happen

@BotFinderUK You mean shadowy

[Matthew SE1 🇪🇺 @SouthwarkMatt]

@TheBritishIntel It’s more that they don’t want nazis in charge.

except he was white english and did get away with it...

@LucyTCWife Peak Reform. It’s downhill from here for hate.

[Matthew SE1 🇪🇺 @SouthwarkMatt]

@TheGriftReport I’m not Labour voter normally but I’d rather that than fascist rule from the right. Populism only works until you run out of other people’s cheap ideas.

@BotFinderUK lol

@PoliticsJOE_UK There wasn’t a boat crisis before Brexit…

@piersmorgan Or inciting violence. If you call that ‘working’.

Not sure how you can have so much contempt for Tommy Robinson while also praising the guy funding and amplifying him.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

In the UK, sitting peacefully opposing genocide is deemed terrorism whilst burning houses, rioting and targeting minority groups is considered ‘protest’

[Joncro @JohnCrookes7]

What on earth is going on in this country of ours. I walk round my city & see happy couples of mixed race, white girls with black friends, groups of young people some brown some black some white all relating happily to each other. Reform is focused on destroying this harmony. Why

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

Odd to see Tories claim "mass migration is still happening" as if there has been no change.

Here's the latest:-

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

What happened in Belfast was what Lucy Connolly called for in Southport.

She was, quite rightly jailed.

Only for Reform to give her a heroes welcome at their conference, which normalised and applauded racial incitement.

Now look at where we are.

It’ll be lynchings next.

[. @LouiseRawAuthor]

Just so I’m clear:
The first is terrorism and hatred, and the second is just ‘protest’, is this right? 🤔

[Matthew SE1 🇪🇺 @SouthwarkMatt]

@ZiaYusufUK Of course you are. And you call yourself a patriot.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This man is a threat to our democracy. He backs violence and extremism.

Blaming a group of people for the awful actions of an individual leads us to a very dark place.

Musk, Lowe, Farage, Robinson - these men don't give a shit about this country, they want to rip us apart.
