The most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening- Rosa Luxemburg

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

The Prime Minister has made the right decision.

I want to thank Keir for all his work as leader of our party. While we haven’t always seen eye to eye, I believe he cares deeply about the people of this country, and his dedication to the role has never been in question. He achieved a historic victory at the last general election and, under his tenure, our government has passed the biggest uplift to renters’ and workers’ rights in a generation; taken important action to tackle violence against women and girls; lifted children out of poverty; prioritised clean energy; and renationalised train services.

On a personal level, I have appreciated the kindness and respect Keir has shown me, including during difficult conversations. I wish him and his family well during this period of transition and for the next chapter of their lives.

I am sad that it has come to this, just two years into a Labour government – a precious, rare opportunity that has largely been squandered, burning through political goodwill and opening the door to a far-right government come the next election.

Even though I did not vote for Keir to become leader, I desperately wanted him and our party to succeed. Throughout many disagreements and mistakes, I hoped the situation was retrievable and that he could change direction. Last November, when it became clear that the Prime Minister and those around him were unwilling to genuinely listen and learn from their errors, I publicly called for him to stand down.

Going forward, we cannot continue with more of the same, just with someone new at the helm. We need a change of direction that is much bolder on the cost-of-living crisis, refuses to give an inch to Reform and aims to unite the country in the face of division.

When Keir stood to be Labour leader in 2020, he ran on a platform that largely had my support. That platform – which included taxing the rich, public ownership, putting human rights at the heart of foreign policy, and defending migrants’ rights – came far closer to meeting the demands of our times than the direction in which he took the party afterwards. We should return to those ideas and our party’s core values, while restoring party democracy to safeguard against the same errors being made in the future.

There must now be a timely and fully democratic contest, in which candidates set out their policies and Labour and affiliated trade union members elect the next leader.

@basilthegreat How is this anti-white?

[Tilly @Tillyh_u]

@nickdixoncomic I have so many questions, first being. How does our current system despise young white boys?

@LozzaFox You did her a favour. She’s been saved from the endless suffering of being around you x

Gary Stevenson, "We need to talk about the unbelievable hostile circumstances face with regards to their economic future"

"More and more young people growing up in poverty"

"A young person, even with an ordinary job, that's not going to be enough to buy a home, to have a family"

"Just doing the right thing. Working. Having a job. Doesn't mean you'll be able to feed your kids"

"We have to look at this"

"What kind of world have we made?"

[Tilly @Tillyh_u]

@moyyaaaaaa I’d hate to be a woman cause wym you told me you wanted a kid then you left me to care for it by myself…

@rose_melvi70051 @SamanthaTaghoy I have lived in multiple parts of Britain my whole life. This has never happened. Even in countries where it does, people who aren’t Muslim just ignore the call to prayer.

[Tilly @Tillyh_u]

@khanb97 @SamanthaTaghoy I have grown up in a heavily Muslim populated area, my boyfriend is Muslim, I’m very close with his family and have these conversations frequently. Maybe if people were given the choice rather than having these practices imposed on them it would be a different story.

[Tilly @Tillyh_u]

@nickyboy1886 @SamanthaTaghoy I’m sorry, is there a Muslim only sign on the door?

[Tilly @Tillyh_u]

@ytm58cqbgq @SamanthaTaghoy Less than 50% of the country identify as Christian, no matter practice it.

[Tilly @Tillyh_u]

@rose_melvi70051 @SamanthaTaghoy Please inform me on this call to prayer

[Tilly @Tillyh_u]

@khanb97 @SamanthaTaghoy I don’t think you can speak on behalf of an entire faith. What I’ve heard is very very different.

[Tilly @Tillyh_u]

@jrzyi @SamanthaTaghoy Again, Easter bonnet competitions do not count as ‘Christian roots’

[Tilly @Tillyh_u]

@jrzyi @SamanthaTaghoy We aren’t talking about praying, its an Easter bonnet competition. Praying is a key part of Islam so it is totally different

If you take a consistent position against war crimes - whether committed by Israel or Russia - be prepared to be spoken to like this.

After the show, Camilla Tominey said she “had fun”. It seems like this is just a game for some members of the commentariat.

This country owes Jeremy Corbyn a massive apology.
