Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday

Be the reason someone still believes in good people and real kindness.

Never stop being that person

The world has enough critics; it can always use another kind soul

Good morning and welcome to Tuna Tuesday

From one angle, it’s a problem.
From another, it’s a possibility.

Sometimes the only thing that needs to change is your perspective.

A small shift in how you look at things can make a big difference in how you feel about them.

Night night sweet dreamies 🧡

Don’t let the noise of other people’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.

There is no shame in asking for help.

Even the tiniest meow can be heard by someone who cares.

[Andrew Western MP @AndrewHWestern]

Musk.

Vance.

Farage.

Lowe.

They know what they are doing. They are far more calculated than it may seem.

This has been a difficult week and they have sought to weaponise it for their own malevolent means despite the express wishes of the Nowak family,

We must call out their hatred and fight for the values we believe in.

Fairness, diversity, tolerance, equality.

They hate it all. And each of them uses their platform to try and undermine these values that we cherish.

The vast majority of people can see what they are trying to do and want it to stop. We need to stand together to ensure that happens.

The interesting thing here is not that everyone suddenly loves Starmer.

It is that outside the Westminster/media bubble, many people seem to understand something very basic:

A country cannot rebuild itself through permanent leadership panic.

Stability is not glamorous.

It does not trend as easily as drama.

It does not feed the pundit class in quite the same way.

But after the Tory circus — five prime ministers, endless faction fights, mini-budgets, resignations, scandals and collapse — stability matters.

You do not have to agree with every decision Starmer makes to understand that.

You do not have to think he is charismatic to understand that.

You only have to ask one question:

Would another leadership war really help the country right now?

For many people outside the bubble, the answer seems to be no.

Country first cannot just be a slogan.

Sometimes it means giving a Prime Minister with a majority the time and space to govern.

If this speaks to you, please repost it — not for me, but for someone who is tired of chaos being sold as politics. And - yeah you guessed it - follow me.

[Philip O'Connor @PhilipOConnor5]

If you, like me, feel that we are fortunate to have @Keir_Starmer as our Prime Minister please repost. I am not even a member of the Labour Party.

[Imogen @Imogenlemon02]

So Farage ran away from parliament after he was shamed by the PM.

Where did he run away to? To Oswald's in Mayfair, a private members club.

When will people wake up. He doesn’t represent you. He doesn’t understand you. He’s not like you. He’s using you.

“I’m proud of what we’re delivering. Fastest growing economy in the G7. UK growth is up and inflation is down. Net migration down by a staggering 82%. The asylum backlog down by 46%. The fastest reduction of waiting times in the history of the NHS. Free school meals, breakfast clubs and free child care and we’re lifting half a million children out of poverty”

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

There's not a single person in Britain who doesn't agree that the death of Henry Nowak was a tragedy, and the way the police handled it was absolutely disgraceful.

There's only one political party, however, who want to take that family's pain and politicise it for their own benefit.

[Neil Coyle @coyleneil]

Just a few ways in which in under two years Labour have been quietly fixing our country after 14 years of Tory/LibDem Coalition damage.

[Politics In The U.K. @politixintheuk]

18,000 reactions. One clear winner!
When The London Economic readers were asked who they want as Prime Minister by the end of 2026, Keir Starmer didn't just come first — he absolutely romped home with 11,800 reactions.
Burnham trailed far behind on 2,200. Rayner managed just 320. Streeting brought up the rear with 82.
The only thing that came remotely close to Starmer? The 3,300 people who clicked "none of the above".
For a Prime Minister supposedly in trouble, these may be the most positive numbers Starmer has seen since entering Downing Street.

[Stephen Morgan MP @StephenMorganMP]

‘Women can’t ref, drive or give directions’: Reform candidate sexism row deepens as more ‘degrading’ posts resurface https://t.co/hLKxdwlakL

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Reform UK’s Makerfield by-election candidate Robert Kenyon previously claimed women “can’t drive” and get abortions for “vanity purposes” to “shag anyone they want”

He admitted: “I’m sexist, sorry but I am”

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

The facts on Immigration stand in stark contrast to the picture Reform paints. It was out of control, peaking at nearly one million in 2023 under the Tories, many of whom are now in Reform - but since Labour won the election it is very much under control - dropping nearly 80% last year to under 200k, the lowest rate since the world shut down in 2020….And the number of asylum seekers in hotels is down 30%. But most people still believe the claim that immigration is out of control.

The truth is in the numbers - not in what Reform says. And not just on immigration.
