Today, Sir Keir Starmer steps down as Prime Minister, a decent man who gave everything to lead a country growing ever harder to govern.

In turbulent times, his quiet integrity and determination stood out.

Britain loses a leader of principle.

Gratitude for the effort. History will be kinder. 🇬🇧

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Keir Starmer, "The Reform UK leader wants everyone to forget that he called for our NHS to be replaced with an insurance based system"

*Nigel Farage smirks*

"He then said, he if can pay, they should pay for NHS treatment"

"You cannot trust Reform UK with our NHS"

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Henry Nowak’s family have lost their son and brother in the most appalling circumstances.

Nigel Farage is exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division.

It’s completely unforgivable.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Some notes on my work ethic:

-I last voted in Parliament on 18 March, so I haven’t done my job for ten weeks.
-I’ve never held any face-to-face constituency surgeries, despite apparently having £5 million to spend on security.
-I refuse to do interviews or face press scrutiny of any sort.
-when I was in the European Parliament I had the 4th worst attendance record out of 748 MEPs.
-although I did manage to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
-I was on the Fisheries Committee but I only turned up to ONE out of 42 meetings.
-but I will of course be taking my £73,000 EU pension.

Vote Reform, get lazy, grifting, self-serving sacks of shit.

So what happens when Reform take over your local council?

This.

👀 WATCH Reform voters waking up to Reform policies, brilliant 🤩 video

“Privatising the NHS… Oh Jesus no.”

“Support zero hour contracts… I don’t want that.”

“Reducing minimum wage… It’s already not worth working as it is.”

My favourite at end: “They’re trying to reform like a Dickensian authority where we are living in smog and no one has any rights unless you’re rich or white.”

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

Enjoyed Kemi’s quip about free breakfast clubs being a defining legacy of this Labour government.

When the Tories deride breakfast clubs, it shows how out of touch they still are.

A £450 saving is a lot for working families. Easing the morning rush makes a big difference.

[Catherine Blaiklock @blaiklockBP]

The main things I learnt working with @Nigel_Farage
1. His word is not his bond.
2. He does not write emails - no paper trail.
3. He has zero ability to do any detail: 1-hour meetings turn into 56 minutes of Nigel talking about Nigel and 4 mins on the subject the meeting was about.
4. Nigel has no real friends - everyone and everything is expendable.
5. Nigel has enormous energy, but a lot of it is wasted because he drinks and parties too much.
6. Nigel is not an intellectual - he thinks Jordan Peterton is boring.
7. Nigel has spies.
8. Nigel loves money and spends it like water.
9. Nigel surrounds himself with rather facile young men like the convicted posh George.
10. Nigel does not really like working if it is not him being a showman - I cannot even imagine him reading a policy paper.
11. Nigel dictates tweets to Dan Dukes.
12. Nigel has a powerful lawyer behind the scenes who keeps files on people.
13. Nigel is vicious - the plastic sheen is a facade that cons so many people.
14. No idea if Nigel actually has any morality or values or what he believes in except fame and money.

I don’t feel let down by Keir Starmer. However, I do feel massively let down by our media.

There seem to be very few journalists who are reporting without fear or favour or in the best interests of the public. They are a braying toxic mob intent on destruction

Why?

#Starmer

[mainstream @Nillo82948721]

So, I thought Starmer was doing a fairly good job.

Reversing some of the horrendous Tory decisions around workers rights, gradually getting the UK closer to Europe, etc.

But, the extreme RW media and their billionaire benefactors don’t want this.

Hence a proverbial witch-hunt.

[The Rev. Anton Mittens 🌹👮🎓 @MittensOff]

The real story shouldn't be Starmer it’s this. Ben Habib casually dropping an allegation that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson were each handed £1m by Christopher Harborne to fix an election. Truly astonishing claims but sure, let’s all pretend the headline issue is Starmer. The £5m bung is the tip of the iceberg, our press should be camped outside Farage's girlfriends house not 10 Downing Street waiting for the police to arrive #ReformUK #Farage

Hahahahah! Just seen this on FB:
----
Have you found yourself in the hideous position of having a Reform councillor?
Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve.
Got rubbish piling up? Email them.
Bus vanished from existence? Email them.
Streetlights dead? Email them.
Care package delayed? Email them.
Pavement like the Somme? Email them.
Send them in by the hundred. Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is.
Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News. It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes.
Welcome to local government.
The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.
The email address for your ward councillor can be found on your local council website as soon as it’s updated.
Feel free to copy and paste to share wider.

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

Nigel Farage who last week, on camera, promised cuts in local taxes if Reform were elected as local councilors is today saying he never promised cuts in local taxes and that taxes will have to rise because of Labour.

The UK media of course ignored this.

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

Less than five hours after he was elected the first Reform councilor has had to stand down after revelations of 'electoral irregularities' are discovered.

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the £5m.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about his support for the Iran War.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about Nathan Gill.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget his support for Trump, Orban, Le Pen and Milei.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about his antisemitism.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about DOGE failing.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the Clacton house.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the councillors dropping like flies.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the council leaders sacked for racism and ineptitude.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the racist candidates, the misogynists, anti-Muslims, the hypocritical and criminal Reform UK candidates.

Tell everyone, don’t let anyone forget.

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

So Friday Jenrick is a no show at an organised event

So Sunday Farage is a no show on an agreed BBC interview

BOTH ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION BY POLICE AND/OR PARLIAMENT in relation to financial matters.

Transparency eh.....
