@ITVNewsPolitics You prats.
He stated from the outset it would take 2 years to fix the foundations.
Now we are seeing policy after policy to benefit people in the country.
How old are you silly people? 5? Grow the fuck up.
This is what happens when you forget gimmicks such as the failed Rwanda scheme and just get on with the job of processing asylum claims.
It’s what this Labour government said it would do and it is delivering.
Las imágenes del ministro israelí Ben Gvir humillando a los miembros de la flotilla internacional en apoyo a Gaza son inaceptables.
No vamos a tolerar que nadie maltrate a nuestros ciudadanos. En septiembre anuncié la prohibición de acceso al territorio nacional de este miembro del gobierno israelí. Ahora vamos a impulsar en Bruselas que estas sanciones se eleven a escala europea de manera urgente.
The BBC and UKs billionaire controlled media want to get rid of Starmer.
Then destroy whoever replaces him.
To force a General Election and foist their puppet Nigel Farage on us.
No thanks .
Right so Keir Starmer has reduced immigration by over 70%, kept us out of the Iran War, massively boosted defence spending, reduced NHS waiting times, and started growing the economy again.
But we should sack him off for Burnham in under 2 years because Manchester has £2 buses?
I think it’s the worst thing Labour could do right now, there’s no reason to panic over some adverse polling less than two years into a ten year project - and some of what we’re seeing is more opportunism than panic - but if there is to be a leadership contest my first choice for the job would be Keir, that’s who I’ll back.
The NHS has been battered for 14 years by Tory neglect and underfunding. Just as things are starting to turn a corner, Wes decides to walk away from a job he’s actually good at. Because he’s lost confidence apparently. Hard to square that with his talk of being proud to fight in the trenches with Keir at the general election. When the going gets tough and all that…...
People around Ed Miliband have been briefing that he’s urged Keir to set a timetable to walk away - unhelpful enough to say it - worse to leak it to the press. Ed is seen as a potential contender, I’m not convinced. A few weeks ago, he told the country he would finally break the link, the market mechanism that drives our energy bills sky-high in a crisis - the following week he announced the details and he did not break the link or even weaken it. Ed misled the country in my view and the Prime minister.
Keir's top team should be standing behind him right now - and not with knives in their hands.
How about some policy ideas?
This whole leadership circus is a massive distraction from the job, not just at a time of global crisis but at a time when the people of Britain are making clear they want more change, they want to feel the change in their lives. The answer to that, some seem to think - is to have a new leader. That’s a delusion and often enough a conceit, sold to us on the premise it’s in the national interest or the party’s interest - when the truth is much closer to home.
Labour has a job to do and a mandate to do it.
Let’s get on with it.
I’m beginning to think that Keir Starmer is the only one. who truly is in politics for the good of the country. I feel so angry at Streeting and the one‘s backing him, they are just in politics for themselves and their own good.
To anyone considering a leadership challenge I say - put the country first, not your own interests or those you might claim are the interests of the party.
Keir Starmer has a massive democratic mandate from the public, nobody has the right to seek to depose him, nobody.
Not Wes, not Ed, not Andy, not Angie.
Yes Keir is unpopular in the polls, that’s current public sentiment - it’s not a mandate for getting rid of him. Opinion polls are snapshots of opinions. Local election results are always an opportunity to register a protest. Labour has a job to do, we’re not even two years in yet, things are tough - a leadership challenge would be self indulgent and illogical - in my view.
Why are we expected to wait for god knows how many bloody years for Brexit to provide some sort of benefit but a prime minister gets less than 2 to sort out 14 years of Tory and Farage shit?
Whatever you think about Starmer, this is NOT normal. I’ve not seen ANY broadcaster respond like this towards any other PM over the past decade, not even Truss or Johnson who, respectively, tanked the economy and partied as Britons died. @SamCoatesSky is a heavily biased shill.
Viewed from Paris, Starmer (and Powell) have been remarkably solid bilateral partners for Macron, with 🇬🇧 and 🇫🇷 co-leading on Ukraine and Hormuz, and forging unprecedented cooperation on nuclear deterrence. Along with the E3 format with Germany, they have given Europe leadership

Labour didn’t lose council seats because of @Keir_Starmer’s leadership…
They lost seats because there’s a pernicious fascist cancer infecting public discourse and giving simplistic solutions to people that would never normally vote in local elections
