@JuliaHB1 @Keir_Starmer Unlike all those fine upstanding Tory PMs…

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@JuliaHB1 @TheSun Well that’s his political career over with then. Great pre-judging Julia 🤡

@For_Film_Fans Set to a fantastic acoustic cover by The Dream Academy of The Smiths, Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want.

@ronmanagernottm Enjoyed watching Paddington TV show as a kid in the 1970s but detest the more recent film franchise - load of upper-middle-class little Englander bollocks

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@For_Film_Fans Great theme tune and opening credits

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@Chrisviews43 @SarahForRuncorn …and he got a cheeky £5m signing on fee for doing so. I doubt Andy Burnham will receive a similar bung, er I mean bonus.

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@reece_dinsdale Surely you’re not suggesting a small matter of £5m might have influenced Reform policies 😏

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@reece_dinsdale Oakeshott was also appalled at Starmer receiving some support for clothing and tickets for Arsenal games, Taylor Swift gig etc, which amounted to a few thousand, and was declared. But a £5m undeclared bung to Farage from crypto billionaire and it’s “nothing to see here” 🤡

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@For_Film_Fans Great film. Peak Michael Douglas around that time.

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@FraserNelson Respectfully, he might argue that the ‘national good’ - which will also benefit the constituents of Makerfield, outweighs what is good for Manchester in the current climate?

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@jonsopel …if Burnham triggers and wins a leadership contest he’ll no doubt be immediately vilified by much of the media - no doubt they’ll have some dirt on him ready to print. Meanwhile, a £5m bung to Farage doesn’t gain much traction/publicity.

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@jonsopel Starmer put in the ‘hard yards’ and helped bring the party back after the Corbyn years - he deserves a lot of credit for that. Sadly, due to right wing press and some very poor decisions/lack of political nous, much of the electorate has given up on him.

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@JohnBeckerEA @piersmorgan Starmer and his wife received relatively modest gifts/support from Lord Alli, which he declared. Reform cry it’s a scandal. Farage receives £5m, which he doesn’t declare. Reform: Nothing to see here… Not even a whiff of hypocrisy, @JohnBeckerEA ?

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@JohnBeckerEA @piersmorgan I don’t know, but if obtained illegally then I’m sure Farage or Reform have the means to sue the Guardian. But do you honestly think the £5 million “personal gift” from a crypto billionaire was made with no expectation of anything in return?

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@JohnBeckerEA @piersmorgan Guardian journalist was clear that it was obtained legally. Accepting it reeks of corruption though doesn’t it?

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@piersmorgan I would have gone with “bell end” instead of “clown”. The guy is either an idiot or is playing a very cynical game in pursuit of votes.

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@For_Film_Fans Speaking as a rank amateur, he looks like he could play a bit

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@For_Film_Fans Thanks for sharing. Was this an original film poster?

[Chris Fortytwo @ChrisFortytwo]

@RichardBurgon Well done, Richard, give him hell…oh, wait - he’s on your side! You may not like Starmer and some of his cabinet, but they’re the reason Labour are in power. I expect you’ll be looking forward to seeing Farage take over at the next GE so you can get back into opposition 🤡

@grok @ShelaghFogarty @grok are you sure that Nigel Farage’s swimsuit bears an X logo?
