Since Brexit everyone in the UK is on average £11,400 worse off.

Except Nigel Farage.

He received £5 million as a reward for Brexit.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Sadiq Khan would rather spend £120,000 on breakfasts for hungry kids than on boosting his mistress's tech start-up. That's common sense, not self harm.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
And there it is.
The high-priestess of rank Tory hypocrisy calls for a General Election.
She never called for an election when the Tory Party changed Prime Minister 5 times in 7 years.
When the hypocrite even tried to become PM.

I’ll say it again, this constant shit show in U.K. politics is all the fault of David Cameron.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Keir has given huge service to our country and I want to thank him for his leadership and dedication during such a challenging period.

His decision marks the beginning of a transition and it is important that this process is conducted in an orderly and responsible way. I will put myself forward as part of this process.

The country expects stability, seriousness and a continued focus on the issues that matter most and that is what it will get.

As we move forward, our priority must be to work together to get the country back to where we all want it to be. People want to see progress on economic growth, cost of living, public services, housing and opportunities for the next generation. Political change should never distract from the responsibility to improve people's lives.

The Labour movement has always been at its strongest when it looks forward with confidence and purpose. This is what we will do from here and we will make sure this transition is a positive process of renewal for our party and our country.

10 years ago your children could just go and live and work anywhere in Europe. And you could retire there. Now they can’t and neither can you.

That’s freedom is it? Well done Brexit voters.

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

The reason why the UK is on its arse is not because of Keir Starmer.
A big reason is that too many people believed some bollocks on a bus 10 years ago.

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

Hounded out by right-wing media.
He lost his brother months into his leadership and still carried on with grace.
A shameful moment in political history

[Pete Wishart @PeteWishart]

Tomorrow it is 10 years since the disastrous decision to leave the EU. A Brexit Scotland overwhelmingly rejected. It has been so bad for the UK that Brexit has left the UK virtually ungovernable as Keir Starmer found to his cost today.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

This arrogant unelected twat lectures the British public about imposing leaders we didn’t vote for.

Yet 5 of his Reform MPs were elected as Tories and defected without any fresh mandate from voters.

He clearly thinks we’re all idiots who won’t notice the hypocrisy. The real disrespect for British voters is coming from you mate. We see straight through it.

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Keir Starmer’s place in history is assured. We owe Keir a debt of gratitude for taking Labour from its worst electoral defeat in 2019, bringing Labour back into government with a huge majority in 2024 and then guiding Britain through difficult times nationally and globally.

[Just Dave now @justdavenow89]

i can think of 5 million reasons nigel farage is calling for a general election and not one of them is about serving the working class

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Neil Kinnock has a message for our next Prime Minister,

"We after 10 years after loss and cost and decline, must make the argument, incessantly and continually, to rejoin the European Union"

"It. Is. Our. Imperative."

[🌹dimac @MrsFinkelstein1]

Corbyn got 7 years as Labour Leader and lost 2 GEs.
Starmer has been Leader for 6 and won a landslide GE.
Make it make sense.

[Ben 🇬🇧 @BenInRushcliffe]

All this in two years. @Keir_Starmer.

Feel free to share.

[Guz Khan 🥶 @GuzKhanOfficial]

You know what Burnham and Markerfield proves?

This is a good country. Full of good people. This app is false. It’s a meeting point for wankers who share racist and xenophobic ideas.

You lot crack on, best of luck. England is REAL offline. That’s the best England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🩵🫱🏾‍🫲🏻🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

Ten years ago today Farage unveiled his racist "Breaking Point" poster.

Within hours a far-right sympathiser murdered the MP Jo Cox.

Instead of apologising, Farage went on to verbally attack her husband.

Farage has always been scum.

Never Vote Reform.

[Brendan Cox @MrBrendanCox]

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.

At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

[Craig Jones @Craig_J_85]

What I want after this world cup is over.

1. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.
2. Infantino to be booted out.
3. Hydration Breaks to never occur when temperatures are at a certain level.
4. Ticket prices to be capped at a reasonable amount.
5. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.
