When Burnham starts on about changing Jobcentres to deliver a localised service, remember, this is already being done under Starmer's Gov.
Wakefield is the Pathfinder area, with the JC testing initiatives away from Whitehall policy. https://t.co/Inwtw9XTcH https://t.co/nmdkdox1L3

Keir Starmer has said he intends to remain an MP, honouring the commitment to the constituency that elected him.

Andy Burnham promised to serve a full term as GM Mayor but then reneged on his commitment to the 420K people who voted for him.

That's the difference.

It’s official, @ZiaYusufUK.

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Just a reminder that Reform UK-led Derbyshire Council has officially scrapped its core net zero climate targets and dismantled its dedicated climate change committee.

I’m sure @CllrAlanG will explain all this tomorrow. Expect weasel words.

[Liam Holman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Liam_Holman99]

Derbyshire County Council, run by Reform, scrapped it's net zero targets and climate change committee.

Just a message to everyone telling young people to "toughen up" because you had it harder...
Fine. We'll cancel your winter fuel payments.
Toughen up. It's not that cold. Put a jumper on.

[Anna Turley MP @annaturley]

That’s an excellent use of the Paddington stare at Kemi Badenoch who was a disgrace again today.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too.

It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer.

I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

📈 3,008 more teachers in secondaries & special schools
📈1,646 more teachers in colleges
📈Trainee teachers up 13%
📈 Teacher pay up 9.5%
📈 Record investment in schools

If standing up for state schools makes me a spiteful class warrior, I’ll wear it with pride.

Sally Nugent just did something almost nobody in British broadcast media has managed. She actually pressed Farage on the £5m from Christopher Harborne, and didn't let him wriggle off it.

His answers shifted as they went. It was for security. Then it was for cars. Then it was nobody's business. Then he questioned why it mattered at all. When Nugent kept pushing on how much he'd actually spent, he accused the BBC of putting him in danger by asking.

At one point he tried turning it back on her, asking what she does with her own salary. She didn't blink. "My salary is on the public record." His isn't, not the £5m anyway.

Then the line that mattered. He let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards "may disagree" with him on the donation rules. That's not a denial. That's a man who knows which way this is going.

Farage has prior form here. The Commissioner already found he breached the rules once, failing to register 17 payments worth around £384,000 within the required 28 days. No action was taken that time, it was called an error. A second breach, on a £5m personal gift, is a different category of problem.

Three minutes and forty five seconds of someone actually doing the job. Worth the watch.

NEW: Statement by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni 🇮🇹🇬🇧

I wish, on behalf of the Italian Government, to thank Prime Minister Keir Starmer for the work we have done together over these years.

We have collaborated on key issues for both our nations: from the management of migration flows to the major international crises, always with great pragmatism, while at the same time significantly strengthening the bilateral relationship, particularly in the strategic sectors of the defence industry and energy.

Dichiarazione del Presidente del Consiglio, Giorgia Meloni

Desidero, a nome del Governo italiano, ringraziare il Primo Ministro Keir Starmer per il lavoro svolto insieme in questi anni.
Abbiamo collaborato su dossier fondamentali per entrambe le nostre Nazioni: dalla gestione dei flussi migratori alle principali crisi internazionali, sempre con grande pragmatismo, rafforzando al contempo in modo significativo il rapporto bilaterale, in particolare nei settori strategici dell’industria della difesa e dell’energia.

THE WORLD IS TAKING NOTICE
When leaders in Kyiv, Ottawa and across NATO thank Keir Starmer for his service, perhaps the question is no longer what Britain thought of him.
Perhaps the question is what the world saw in him.
Principle. Duty. Steadiness.
He rebuilt Labour, restored Britain's standing and strengthened our alliances in a dangerous world.
The loudest voices wrote the headlines.
History may write a different verdict.

Does nobody think it’s just the tiniest bit weird that even Labour MPs think there is nobody - not one person - elected in 2024 who would make a competent PM? Not one.

Whatever your politics, there is raw emotion today, with a family comforting their husband and dad 💕
The Labour Party was brought back from extinction by this man and we owe him a massive thank you, for doing so. His legacy will be looked at with deep pride sooner than we think

[Alex Taylor @AlexTaylorNews]

This kind of statement👇from an EU leader would have been unthinkable about all the other PMs the UK's flitted through since "taking back control"

It doesn't get much mention in the UK, but boring Starmer made 🇬🇧 look reliable and serious again after the clown show before him

[Issy Waite @issywaite66]

I joined the Labour Party because of Keir, my local MP. I voted for him to be leader, and I don’t regret that.

Keir gave our party the greatest gift, electability, and being able to be proudly Labour once more. I think history will remember him as a kind and dutiful PM.

[Sheila @SheilaMarieF]

Anyone else getting cult like vibes from Andy supporters, reminiscent of what went on with Corbyn?

[Kim McGuinness @KiMcGuinness]

Says the most professional of professional politicians.

Leader of not 1, not 2 but 3 political parities and before that he was a Tory.

Stood 8 times for parliament and served 5 terms in the European Parliament.

Farage is the establishment. Never let him tell you otherwise.
