@BBCNews Government *chooses not to deport* grooming gang leader.

It has a majority in Parliament and the ability to change the law.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

We can’t fund our own defences but we can spunk £23m on a terrorist-aligned group whose enclave has been flooded with more aid than it is humanly possible to consume.

I know this because I have sat in Kiryat Gat and seen truck after truck enter Gaza with my own eyes.

Local government is run by people too shit to become MPs.
Take a look at the Labour benches in the Commons and let that sink in.

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

Andy Burnham has promised to wear shoes when in London in what is seen as his first concession to the Westminster bubble. Yvette Cooper said "it is the right thing to do" and an orgasmic Lucy Powell gasped "Andy is already delivering". A bitter Keir Starmer groaned "Meep Meep".

My old company's apprentice with just 3 days on the clock has had more real world business experience than Burnham.

The lads sent him for a long stand and a spirit level bubble last Thursday. He's not been seen since.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

What Labour MPs like Bridget Phillipson fail to understand is that I could not care less about her upbringing and being raised by a single mom. All irrelevant.

The policies she has enacted have been destructive for millions across the country.

The latter is what I care about.

Enjoy your second day of popularity Burnham, it's all downhill from here:

Call an election or not - legitimacy against losing a lot of colleagues that just backed you

Appoint a Chancellor: appease the left who got you elected or appease the bond market you're borrowing £280bn from this year.

Call Donald Trump: do your Hugh Grant and worsen the special relationship without a State visit up your sleeve or snivel like a toad and piss off your party.

Tack left or tack right: do you care more about Green lunatics or the red wall

Net zero : retain a pointless target or risk the wrath of Miliband and the truant.

Gone in 6 months.

Spare the thoughts and prayers for Keir Starmer. The man has the survival instincts of a cockroach wearing a life jacket made of Davos lanyards, five star hotel brochures and first class private jet tickets. When the music stops at Number 10, he’ll simply waltz through the revolving door into the VIP lounge of the global elite.

Expect him to land the top job at the WEF or slide into a board seat at BlackRock, where he can lecture everyone on stakeholder capitalism while the actual stakeholders quietly foot the bill.

Failing that, there’s always the taxpayer-funded golden parachute: a cool £115,000 a year Public Duty Costs Allowance, just for “public duties”.

He’ll be fine. The establishment doesn’t fall; it merely changes those who revolve through the door.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

All jokes aside: when trust in politics is at an all-time low, it would be a weak start for the PM to begin with a damaging act of hypocrisy and refuse to call a GE. The same applies to ministers who, while in Opposition, called for one in exactly the same circumstances.

[Sunday Sport @thesundaysport]

I honestly thought that calling everyone far-right bastards would have played better

[Patrick Christys @PatrickChristys]

Today is also the end of Lord Hermer. A horrible little man. Now he can get back to his day job - representing jihadis and people linked to the IRA, and hounding brave British military veterans.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

#GeneralElectionNow

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

For Keir Starmer to portray himself as some sort of victim in all of this and to wang on about his achievements and then fight back the tears during his resignation speech doesn’t deserve any sympathy. He’s been a dreadful Prime Minister. He’s only got himself to blame.

[Skipster @FarRightSkip]

Today's winner ladies & gentlemen

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

We need to start demanding a General Election at the end of this Tory leadership election.

They were all elected on a manifesto promise to level up the North and are all abandoning it.

[Skipster @FarRightSkip]

Starmer has resigned.

Good riddance.

Cunt.

[Mike Tapp MP @MikeTappTweets]

Is it time to legislate; if a change of leader is forced by its own Party then a General Election must be called.

That would stop the constant churn and focus all politicians on delivery, instead of work place politics. These endless ‘house of cards’ games would end and the country would benefit.

Let’s legislate to focus minds.

[Neil Oliver @thecoastguy]

As the tolling bell of The Somme sounds in the distance, remember above all how many the state was ready to see dead in order that the rich might stay rich.
