@AndyBurnhamGM The hypocrisy is almost too much. You've campaigned to replace him. You've helped create the instability. Now you want the party to look forwards rather than remember how you worked hard to stab him in the back.

[david carey @davidca73672059]

@JChimirie66677 The CoE continues its decline into becoming an irrelevance. Like Holyrood politicians, CoE is pretending to be more influential than it really is, concerning itself with 'grand' issues, while neglecting its fundamental function of looking after its Christian members.

@gorbalsgoebbels And

Wes Streeting,

John Healey,
Al Carns,
Rachel Hopkins,
Pamela Nash,

And 17 others. All Labour members.

@RogersHistory Best ask the Labour MPs & ministers who withdrew their support & or resigned. You know, the same ones now lauding Starmer for his leadership skills while cheering on Mr Burnham in group photos hoping for jobs. Even Rachel from Accounts has left Kier for Andy.

[david carey @davidca73672059]

@MarkJCarney Rubbish. Starmer hasn't kept up with defence commitments. This in contrast to other European countries who have rapidly overtaken the UK within 2 years.

[david carey @davidca73672059]

@gorbalsgoebbels This suggests all Labour MPs & ministers are mindless sheep incapable of thinking for themselves. They're the ones who withdrew their support, resigning in protest calling for Andy Burnham, not the MSM.

[david carey @davidca73672059]

@benonwine Don't let the door smack you in the arse on the way out!

[david carey @davidca73672059]

@JackWDart Better than all the hypocrites who stabbed Starmer in the front & back now lining up to say what a good fellow he is & what a debt is owed to him for being a great leader. They are the real disgrace.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Please do not believe the platitudes that Starmer is a “decent man”.

He hounded innocent British troops in court as a hobby. 👇

@DefenceHQ @DanJarvisMBE @HMcEntee Ho hum! One of the reasons given for the repeal of the Legacy act was to keep Eire sweet; the only country that has less to offer European defence than us.

@ElmWatch @DeborahMeaden He's not the Messiah. He's just a very naughty boy!

[david carey @davidca73672059]

@DeborahMeaden I'm surprised you had trust in the first place. It was apparent in the first days, Starmer was a hypocritical shyster.

He Promised to Clean Up Politics. He Took More Gifts Than Any of Them.

Keir Starmer built his political identity on one promise above all others. After fourteen years of Conservative sleaze, partygate, donor scandals, a Prime Minister fined by police, he would be different. Standards in public life would be restored. The contrast was the entire pitch.

The declared gifts tell a different story. By September 2024, two months into government, Starmer had accepted more than £100,000 in tickets, clothing and accommodation, more than any other recent party leader, Conservative or Labour, on record. Nearly 40 sets of free tickets during his time as Labour leader. £4,000 of Taylor Swift hospitality. £698 for Coldplay. A free four-day holiday to a Welsh beauty spot worth £4,500. From Labour donor Waheed Alli alone, £20,000 of accommodation, £16,000 of work clothing and £2,485 of glasses, while Alli was simultaneously given a pass to Downing Street.

The accommodation deserves closer attention. It was Alli's £18 million Covent Garden penthouse, and Starmer's justification was that his son needed somewhere quiet to revise for GCSEs, away from journalists outside the family home. A sympathetic explanation, until you learn the same penthouse had already been used by Starmer in December 2021 to film a televised "stay home" message to the British public during the pandemic, with family photos and Christmas cards arranged on the shelves behind him to make it appear he was broadcasting from his own house. He told the country to stay in theirs while filming from a borrowed multi-million pound flat dressed to look like somewhere it wasn't.

Compare the total to the people he replaced. Rishi Sunak declared no personal hospitality beyond a £2,595 club membership. Liz Truss recorded four modest items across an entire decade in Parliament, a football match, Wimbledon, an opera and the races, totalling under £4,000. David Cameron's largest declared item was a £4,475 discount on personal training. Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister whose conduct Starmer spent years campaigning against, still didn't approach £100,000 in personal gifts while actually serving in Downing Street. Starmer's total exceeds the combined declarations of several of his predecessors, and he reached it within months of taking office.

When the scale of this became public, Angela Eagle, then a serving minister, was sent to defend it on Times Radio. Asked the simplest possible question, why the Prime Minister couldn't buy his own glasses on his own salary, she said: "I'm afraid I'm not responsible for decisions the Prime Minister makes. I don't have an opinion." No defence was offered because none existed.

Starmer's own justification, that security requirements prevent him from sitting among the public at events, might extend to concerts as well as football matches. It does not explain the Welsh holiday, a private four-day stay with no public stand to avoid. It does not explain the £16,000 of work clothing or the £2,485 glasses, items with no security dimension whatsoever. And it does not explain why a Labour donor was funding his wardrobe while simultaneously holding a Downing Street security pass.

This matters now for a reason beyond the original scandal. Starmer's net approval has since collapsed to minus 66, the worst recorded for any Prime Minister since Ipsos began tracking in 1977. The instinct from his own side is to blame billionaire-funded misinformation, foreign interference, a hostile press. None of that explains this. The gifts were real, declared in his own name, on the public record, defended by his own minister with the admission that there was nothing to say. The collapse in trust did not need to be manufactured. It was earned, line by line, in the register of members' financial interests, by a Prime Minister who promised the country something his own conduct then failed to deliver.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Mehdi Hasan was 30 years old in 2009 when he called non-Muslims ‘animals with diseased minds.’

He was so extreme that he even attacked ‘dog and music lovers’, since dogs and music are haram in Islam. He also compared homosexuals to pedophiles.

He only apologized a decade later, because the video leaked.

Mehdi claims he has totally changed, which I find hard to believe given his actions and the fact that he practices Twelver Shia Islam, where lying (Taqiyya) is completely allowed.

Mehdi hates when this video goes viral. It would be a shame if it did.

@AlistairCarns This has been apparent for years. The French have a smaller defence budget but have greater capability.

[S A M M Y Woodhouse @officialsammyuk]

Solicitor David Greenwood presented a dossier suggesting that over 72,000 children may have been at risk of exploitation across the Bradford District between 1996 and 2025.

Let that sink in.

@NotFarLeftAtAll Hopefully she'll return to filing customer complaints. A bit of a backlog has built up while she's been fiddling with the nation's expense account.

@DeborahMeaden @Rumbles00244857 Over 17 u-turns: almost thirty community notes for lies & misleading claims do not make a great leader. Giving away sovereign territory, denying self determination to native Chaggiossians, removing the right to trial by jury are not the actions of a human rights lawyer.

[david carey @davidca73672059]

@DeborahMeaden He is worse. None of the others wanted to prosecute veterans while affording rights to terrorists that Starmer denies to our forces. Nor did they appoint an obvious wrong 'un like Mandelson or ignore demands for inquiry into child sexual abuse. That's just a small sample.

Edinburgh Knife Chaos: Two Stabbings, Two Very Different Responses.

In Edinburgh, two violent men went on stabbing rampages against innocent people.

One a White Scottish local gets special condemnation by the First Minister, politicians, and media as “absolutely appalling” anti Muslim hatred.
Full counter terror treatment, national outrage, the full works.

The other a Chadian migrant/refugee slashes people near schools and shops, yet gets a softer ride: bail, muted coverage, and excuses, and not a terror threat?

Same city. Same blade violence. Same terrified public, both men need to be locked up for a very long time.

But the outrage depends on the attacker’s identity.

This two tier justice and selective condemnation is disgusting.

All the Victims deserve real protection not political games that import trouble and then downplay it.
