This country refused to hold the swarm of Tory PMs to the standards of vermin. Not saying Starmer shouldn’t be held to a high standard but when will this country’s people realise they’re incredibly manipulated by the filthy rich’s media outlets?
If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.
Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.
Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.
Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:
• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.
• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.
• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.
• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.
• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.
• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.
• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.
• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.
• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.
• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.
• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.
• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.
• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.
• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.
• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.
• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.
• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.
• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.
• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.
• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.
• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.
• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.
• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.
• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.
People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.
Not an Arsenal fan at all but they were robbed. From the moment the second half kicked off the referee was shocking towards them. It setup PSG’s momentum & made it tougher than the game already was. Something was said to him at HT 100%. Even talking to Gabriel before that penalty
@KayBurley I didn’t have a 5er when I was a kid. And my parents didn’t give a shit about football, and they certainly wouldn’t have given me £5 for it. CL on ITV is only reason I’m lucky enough to have passion for football today
🚨 Hi everyone. To celebrate Arsenal’s title win I'll be giving away THREE 'Champions' prints by the brilliant @matthewjiwood to three random winners

@EPLBible@NatCoombs Obviously can’t have 2 players holding the GK down no matter what else is going on. Such weak analysis from people who can’t control their emotions 🙄 It’s just disingenuous. Do better Peter.
Arsenal have faced more media criticism over the past 6 months for scoring and winning games via set pieces, than Chelsea and/or City have ever faced for winning multiple titles using cheating & corruption…
…just let that sink in.
Our football pundits too - cowards!
This is why any football purist should be backing Arsenal to win the lot. Chelsea ruined the game and changed the landscape forever. Hate them more than any other club.
Mickey Loomis met me before I could get to the locker room at the end of the game and said word for word “that was the greatest performance I ever seen from a Wide receiver in a Saints uniform”
@FootyAccums They pass is to Neuer 500 times a game and think they’ll playing beautiful football lol! Arsenal MF dominated anytime Bayern even thought about crossing the half way line
