Cllr Middleton. They work for us?
Blocked merely for putting an alternative view of the facts.

[Clare Hepworth OBE @Hepworthclare]

This has to be the most arrogant presumption to emerge from the Simons/Burnham fiasco being played out in Makerfield.
Where voters are used as pieces in a game of political chess to progress one man's personal ambition to be PM.
How will historians view this shameful episode ?

The Difference Between a Career and a Calling
Many enter politics to become something.
Keir Starmer entered politics to do something.
They said he couldn't rebuild Labour.
He did.
They said he couldn't win.
He did.
They said he couldn't govern.
He's doing it.
The easiest thing in politics is to walk away.
The hardest thing is to stay, take responsibility, and keep serving when the pressure comes.
That is what leadership looks like.

Now would be a very good time to consider what impact Russia is having on our country

Clearly connections between them & the Right-wing parties so Reform, Restore. Yaxley-Lennon, George Galloway & other scum bags

And of course interfering in our politics EVERY SINGLE DAY

[Paul Castle @Goto_paulcastle]

The Lesson We Never Learn
Salisbury happened.
Cyber attacks happened.
Disinformation campaigns happened.
Election interference warnings happened.
Yet every time Russia appears in the story, too many people act as if it appeared from nowhere.
National security is not a conspiracy theory.
It's the first duty of government.

Weird how Reform haven’t said anything on the arson attacks on Keir being sponsored by Russia.

Almost like they’re scared of calling Russia out. Why would that be?

[Paul Schleifer @PaulSchleifer]

The Starmer "rent boys" smear was pumped around this platform by the usual plastic-patriot-cosplay accounts: conspiracists, rage-farmers, blue-tick sludge merchants and people who somehow always end up pumping out exactly the shit Moscow would prefer.

Paid? "Useful idiots"?

Or just addicted to any lie that hurt the right target?

Fuck knows. (But maybe someone should try to find out!)

But if your politics makes you indistinguishable from a hostile-state distribution network, you should probably stop calling it patriotism.

Feels like this should be a big story, no?

Russia behind attacks targeting the British Prime Minister.

Take your feelings for Keir Starmer out of this equation and the fact that it doesn't even make the LBC 7am headlines is astonishing.

Wind back a few years and imagine if this had happened to Boris Johnson — our media would be talking about nothing else.

The fixation within the media on promoting Nigel Farage and the obsession with tearing down Keir Starmer has led us into a news vortex that is almost impossible to peer out of.

Sure the social media ban is big news and sure, there are other stories to talk about, but this is, effectively, a state-sponsored assassination attempt on our Prime Minister.

Right? Or am I missing something here?

We have lost all journalistic integrity within our mainstream news broadcasters — see Beth Rigby turning a press conference about social media, into a question about Starmer being ousted yesterday.

Occasionally, I feel like I'm going mad; have we all lost our collective memories of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.

By orders of magnitude, the two worst Prime Ministers that UK has ever had to endure, but we are being force-fed the line that Starmer is far worse.

I'm not a Starmer fanboy, despite what the inevitable comments below will say, but I do think he has a level of competence that vastly outstrips the aforementioned Truss/Johnson debacle.

So this story is moved on because it is too Starmer-positive — it might create feelings of sympathy in some — and that cannot be allowed.

What a ludicrous and disgraceful state of reporting we are being subjected to.

[JBL @johninsouthfla]

When Starmer took a few pairs of specs and business suits, Chris Mason and his team virtually camped in Downing St for days.

Fa Rage's £5m grift from a crypto king who wants the crypto market deregulated is NOT even news to the BBC!

[TheSingingEngineer @atreoborfirst]

@EssexMan312 @JohnCrookes7 @Keir_Starmer Says the bot.

[TheSingingEngineer @atreoborfirst]

@JohnCrookes7 The reporting in Guardian in the Guardian leaves much to be desired regarding Keir Starmer.

[Joncro @JohnCrookes7]

Starmer is only unpopular because our right wing media and Russian influence has persuaded the masses so. Anyone with half a brain knows he is the best PM for many years and has already delivered on many of Labours manifesto pledges.

There is NO vacancy! Stick to playing with buses.

The Quiet Return of Britain
For years we were told Britain was isolated.
Now the Prime Minister is securing trade deals, attracting investment and strengthening relationships with the world's fastest-growing major economies.
Politics is not about shouting the loudest.
It's about delivering the most.
While others campaign, Keir Starmer is governing.

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

A REMINDER: Pre-Brexit, UK net migration was 100-200k a year, mostly from the EU.

Nigel Farage pushed hard for Brexit to “take back control”. It happened under the Tories.

Then numbers exploded to 900k. Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick ran the Home Office and ramped up migrant hotels.

Now in Reform UK they blast the very immigration crisis they helped create.

They blame the migrants, pose as the only saviours, and dodge all responsibility.

This is classic Reform gimmick: Create the problem, jump ship, then sell the outrage.

Only a fool falls for it. It is a CON job. Don’t fall for it. #ReformUK

[The Receipts UK ♿ @david_hollas]

Farage's personal service company Thorn in the Side has missed its Companies House confirmation statement deadline. This is a criminal offence. The company holds £1.97m in cash, two coastal properties, a fishing boat, and GB News shares. It is now registered at the London office of Reform donor Nick Candy. Democracy for Sale has the full story.

Every single data point and research report shows that Brexit has weakened the UK.

Its architects should be pilloried not put in the HoL 🤬

1) GBP lower

2) inflation higher

3) rates higher

4) investment lower

5) trade intensity lower

6) mobility lower

7) corruption higher

Hey all you good folks @Keir_Starmer is the right man to lead the U.K.

[Thomas Standfield @TStandfield1789]

The high-priestess of hypocrisy accuses Keir Starmer of "the shameful under-funding of our military".
Bay-denoch must have conveniently forgotten the defence cuts by the Tory government she was in that devastated Britain's armed forces.
