This is a painful, car crash interview.
Peter Kyle: I believe in the plan!
Naga Munchetty: When did you seen the plan?
Kyle: I haven’t.
Naga: Did Mr Healey and Al Carns see the plan?
Kyle: Of course!
Naga: So they’ve both seen the plan and resigned.
Starmer has chosen his own job over the defence of our nation. He would have to sack Rachel Reeves in order to fund defence properly. He’s chosen not to do that because if the Chancellor goes, he goes. That is not patriotism. That is weak, selfish cowardice.
🚨 BREAKING!
Manchester United’s anthem “Take Me Home, United Road,”
popularly known as “The United Road Song,” has been voted the best football anthem in the world 🥇

I’m astonished that even Labour’s coup against their leader is turning into a shambolic, embarrassing farce full of dithering, timidity, U-turns, and broken promises.
So unlike them!
@RachelReevesMP Between you, you are the worst thing ever to happen to this country. You are systematically destroying business, both large and small. Almost everyone I know is working in businesses making redundancies, again both large and small. You never answer anybody or anything.
@RachelReevesMP Your evil socialist policies are destroying our country.
-Over 580,000 businesses destroyed in the last year
-Over 280,000 payrolled jobs destroyed
-Over £1.1 TRILLION in taxes plundered from the productive private economy
-Over £152 BILLION in borrowing
Get Labour OUT.
It’s been a totally devastating night for Keir Starmer and Labour.
We’re hearing the PM is being comforted by Ed Miliband, who has advised him to resign later today, but not before one final ‘man date’ with Nigel Farage.
{satire}
Starmer says he can’t go because it would plunge the country into chaos 🤣
He’s managed to blame the results on the last 14 years, whilst suggesting the public want harder and faster “change”
Because his chaos is actually making it better 🤡
