After a 14 year Tory circus where they turned Britain into a joke, finally the grown up was in the room.

It seems Brits have got so used to jokers they can’t recognise the real deal, aided and abetted by the worst hounding of a PM I’ve ever known.

Embarrassing 🙄

#Starmer

[Ed 🫡 @EdsLFC]

Genuinely can’t see much Starmer has done wrong.

People are so dense, have they forgotten the nobheads that came before him?

[Charlie @C1892_LFC]

Best Prime Minister we’ve had in years. It’s been a pleasure sir.

[GoalMouth @GooalMouth]

Kier Starmer is losing his job because he lacks charisma, which is strange because the entire country just wanted a Prime Minister to "get on with the job"

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Under your premiership @Keir_Starmer, we turned a new page in EU-UK relations.

The EU is committed to continued cooperation in this spirit.

It has been a pleasure to work with you, as a colleague and a friend.

Thank you, dear Keir.

[Chidi Okereke @Chydee]

Every stat I’ve seen suggests this man was doing a fine job fixing a lot of the issues. What do the British people really want??

[Steve Reed @SteveReedMP]

Keir Starmer brought Labour back from the brink, won a landslide majority against all the odds, and is changing Britain for the better.

Thank you Keir, we are proud of you.

[Sam @SamCKx]

@Nicklezard He's not. But some very wealthy people who hold vast amounts of the world's assets, and want more friendly policies so they can hold even more, have spent a lot of money trying to convince working people that he is.

[Nicholas Lezard @Nicklezard]

Could someone explain to me, as if to a child, how and why Starmer is a worse PM than - to go with recent memory - Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, and Sunak

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

He isn’t … there are plenty of vested interests who want us to believe he is…

[Tom Rogers @RogersHistory]

Just watched the resignation speech. I don't like seeing humble good men treated like this, almost bullied to be honest. It's not like he partied during covid, lied-every-day-with-glee Boris or destroyed the economy in 4 weeks Truss. He was doing a decent job in bloody crap domestic and international conditions. If ppl think Burnham, Streeting, Polanski, Farage, Badenoch etc will/can do any better - then crack on but you must be mad.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

I’ve known Keir since he was a lawyer. He was principled then, just as he is now, and throughout his career he has been driven by a deep sense of public service and duty to this country.

He transformed the Labour Party, rooted out antisemitism, restored trust and made our party electable again. He won a historic mandate to change Britain for the better and, most importantly, he delivered on that promise.

With Keir’s leadership, this Labour government brought stability back to our economy, cut NHS waiting lists, improved renters’ rights, began to fix the crisis we inherited in our courts and prisons, reduced small boat crossings, protected young people online, lifted half a million children out of poverty and restored Britain’s standing in the world. He put Britain back at the heart of Europe, stood firmly with Ukraine and rebuilt relationships with our allies.

Change promised, change fought for and change delivered. That is Keir Starmer’s legacy, and I am incredibly proud to have played my part in it.

[Sam @SamCKx]

Dismal failure my f*cking a*s, Piers. He resigned because of a relentless campaign of misinformation, funded, perpetuated and amplified by foreign billionaires whose goals bear zero resemblance to the working people of Britain. He delivered about as much in his first 2 years as any PM in the last 50 years. Stop with the traitorous bs for once. This is a dark day for democracy.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

"Today, we reflect on my dear friend's legacy”

Deputy prime minister @DavidLammy tells @BethRigby it has been the honour of his life working alongside Sir Keir Starmer

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Says the man who broke Britain with his Brexit

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

It has been a privilege to work alongside Sir Keir Starmer as he has led international efforts to support Ukraine through the Coalition of the Willing, strengthen NATO, improve Arctic cooperation, and deepen the historic partnership between Canada and the United Kingdom.

Throughout, and in the face of exceptional challenges, Keir has acted with principle, determination, and collaboration. The world is safer and allies are more united because of his efforts.

Keir, thank you for your lifetime of public service. I am grateful for your friendship, and I wish you all the best as you concentrate on your "most important job.”

[South Stand Pies @SouthStandPies]

I am no fan of Andy Burnham and I’m aware Keir Starmer has his doubters.

But he’s done more in two years, than the Tories did in their 14.

And it’s not even close.

Whatever happens with Keir, he can hold his head up high.

[Paul Castle @Goto_paulcastle]

THE QUESTION NOBODY WANTS TO ANSWER
Something curious is happening in Westminster.
Keir Starmer lists achievements that critics said were impossible.
The economy stabilising.
Waiting lists falling.
Migration coming down.
Britain rebuilding relationships abroad.
Yet the conversation is not about whether those achievements matter.
It is about who should inherit them.
That should give us pause.
Because there are two very different arguments.
One says Starmer has failed.
The other says Burnham won a by-election.
Those are not the same thing.
One is a verdict on government.
The other is an opportunity spotted by ambitious people.
And perhaps the greatest irony of all is this:
The louder the talk of a "calm", "dignified" and "consensual" handover becomes, the less it sounds like unity and the more it sounds like power.
Politics is full of people who want the crown.
Britain needs people willing to carry the burden.
Keir Starmer inherited a country that was broken.
He rebuilt the party.
He won the mandate.
Now he is doing the difficult work of rebuilding the nation.
That is not a reason to replace him.
It is a reason to let him finish the job.

- Stabilise the economy
- Bring down waiting lists and migration
- A 'closer, better relationship' with the EU

Keir Starmer lists the achievements of his government - targets which two years ago, people told him were 'not possible'.

[Sam @SamCKx]

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.

On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.

After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.

We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
