I don't look a day over 20 but have been betting legally for more than 55 years!

[David Green @davidg3907]

In fairness, it is possibly better than their attempts to govern.

[Steven Barrett @SBarrettBar]

So Labour's plan is to not bother governing until September?

Is this a joke?

[David Green @davidg3907]

Perhaps Macron understands England as he is from the north of France. 😂😂😂

[BrianMcL @BrianMcL6]

Scotland to have yet another PM that nobody voted for foisted on us.

And, unlike the revolving door of Tory PMs, Andy Burnham didn't even stand on the mandate Labour won it's landslide with.

Yet still claims it as his own.

An illegitimate PM in a failed Parliament.

[David Green @davidg3907]

Or Tony Blair for that matte

[James R Kennedy @CannyJimKenny]

@PhilipDilley @MatthewStadlen Of course he won't have to call a GE, any more than the various Tory PMs did.

[David Green @davidg3907]

Some people forget/overlook the fact that #Starmer's name would only have appeared on the ballot papers in HIS constituency.

In effect that means only a few thousand ACTUALLY voted for HIM. That is always the case in the UK.

In USA you vote for TRUMP or his opponent by name.

[KB @KB_ISaidBoourns]

@lane_d12 @ZiaYusufUK We vote for the party, not the party leader. We had three successive Tory PMs not voted for by the public. Suck it up buttercup.

[David Green @davidg3907]

Unfortunately, people in the real world don't live on paper.

Maybe he might have done better with Ed Sheeran as Energy Sec and Vic Reeves as chancellor.

[Paul Castle @Goto_paulcastle]

A STRANGE KIND OF FAILURE
NHS waiting lists falling.
Workers' rights strengthened.
Rail nationalised.
Immigration down.
Child poverty down.
Pensions protected.
Yet we're told this is failure.
The irony is obvious.
If this is what failure looks like, what exactly would success have looked like?

If I gave you 2 lots of £1000, you would have £2000.

If I gave you 1 lot of £1000, you would have £1000.

If I gave 0 lots of £1000, and you gave me 1 lot of £1000, I would be £1000 better off because ZERO lots of ANYTHING is always ZERO.

[Old Salty Marine @BamaSaltyMarine]

Mathematics is the only subject I sill can't understand.

How can 1000 people multiplied by zero, be zero people.

Where did the 1000 people go?

[David Green @davidg3907]

You should have gone to Specsavers.

[MP Embakasi East 2027💪💫 @Its_kipchumba]

Iran deserved their win.. FIFA must apologize to Iran... Broad daylight theft.. clearly no offside

[David Green @davidg3907]

For one, he could have honest - granted that does not come easily for a trained lawyer.

If he thought his decisions were CORRECT, why so many u-turns and go back on them?

[Hope X @Xmusknewsx]

A fair question for those who dislike Keir Starmer:

What, realistically, would he have to do to earn your support?

Or is there nothing he could do at this point?

[David Green @davidg3907]

Lie after lie after lie followed by the ultimate lie/u-turn (diificult to differentiate for last 2 years).

I will stand and fight any leadership election.

Why did anyone ever believe him and his 'lawyer talk'?

You do NOT resign and then stand, you remain and fight.

[TRUTH🕊️ @HonestHalo]

The Westminster bubble is briefing a resignation, and the media is all over it.
But they underestimate Keir Starmer.
Expecting him to walk away this morning? Don’t hold your breath.
He’s ready to stand his ground, shock the critics, and put the country before party politics.
The media can entertain the New MP being sworn in today.
Starmer isn’t going anywhere.

[David Green @davidg3907]

@OctopusEnergy

Despite the best efforts of #Miliband and #StarmerOutNow , #Octopus will NOT be increasing the cost of my electricity in July.

[Hugo Papé 💚🌱🌍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇵🇸 @HugoPap2]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Ed Miliband is quite literally the only government minister who is actually doing a good job. Not appointing him as chancellor would be a huge mistake.

[David Green @davidg3907]

My family is my #2 priority.

Of course, my #1 priority is ME.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Being a dad is my greatest joy.

Today, I’m thinking about my dad, and the father I am to my children because of him.

Happy Father’s Day.

[David Green @davidg3907]

Best is stretching it a bit.

Try LEAST BAD.

[Ted Smith 🇪🇺 @TedUrchin]

Who would be the best Prime Minister of the UK?
Don’t forget to retweet far and wide please.
Oh, I’ve left off Wes Streeting. He has no chance in any case, the wet wimp, but have included Darren Jones, a potential strong contender.
Please add an alternative if you wish.

[David Green @davidg3907]

OR, there has been a bad reaction to the fact that #Labour may remain in office longer under a different leader.

[Anne @Anniepop2027]

So the markets have reacted

VERY NEGATIVELY to Burnham

Exactly as RW knew it would

“Very unfavourable reaction “says business

Wow. What imbeciles these MP’s and Burnham are

Putting the country at risk totally unnecessarily

Andy Truss

@TimesRadio @LBC @SkyNews

[David Green @davidg3907]

In 2024, about 20% thought (incorrectly) that #Starmer would be a better PM than Sunak.

[Anne @Anniepop2027]

So snap YouGov poll says ONLY 23% think Burnham would be a better leader

You absolute charlatans trying to do this to Starmer

Corbynite attempt at coup

And because they are utterly unelectable before Starmer they will fail, as per

Stand by Starmer @LBC @SkyNews

[David Green @davidg3907]

Great British Railways or Network Rail - both nationally owned - so obviously the government's fault.

[Sir James Britain🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @SirJBritain]

I wanna know who the drivers are and who was in control of any signal and line operations/logistics/scheduling.

I have a theory.

[David Green @davidg3907]

Ask Sir Keir... wait, on second thoughts.

[Gracie💙 @Gracie_Blue89]

So Keir Starmer said this morning that he's not stepping down and would stand in any leadership contest.

Tonight there's posts circulating on here saying that he's likely to step down

What's the truth?

[David Green @davidg3907]

If it is like the rail timetable, he will depart in c.2032

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 BREAKING: Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has told Keir Starmer to set out a timetable for his departure

[David Green @davidg3907]

He will NOT do that before changing the voting rules - as he did for the Manchester mayoral election.

[The Essex Variant @JGerrings]

Keir Starmer spotted heading for Buckingham Palace to meet the king.

BBC journo just announced Keir Starmer has left No10 via Horse Guards, the rear exit direct onto the Mall into Buckingham Palace.

Only reason Starmer would do this is to meet the King to dissolve parliament for a snap GE.

[David Green @davidg3907]

@PolitlcsUK @guardian 66% BELIVE?

Surely, a genuine article from #10 could afford a spellchecker.

[David Green @davidg3907]

About 80% of the electorate didn't vote for Labour at the 2024 GE.

What are you trying to prove?

[CHOOSE LOVE 🌹 @K4Owen]

More than 300 MPs have not asked Keir Starmer to leave 🌹✌️
