Putting a '❌' in your name doesn't mean you're shadow banned. It means people aren't interested enough in your opinion to take any notice.

@RhonddaBryant @AlanOlive1 Keir stood down due to pressure from within. The right to be heard? Fair enough. The right to be PM? Do me a favour.

@Shivajihimself2 @andyburnham @LucyMPowell I became involved with the party 30 years ago. I was a trade union shop steward and a member of GMB young members. I want no part of a PLP that has no loyalty to a leader democratically elected and who was removed because of their own preferences. Loyalty used to mean something

Thanks for replying Alison and for your warmth towards Keir Starmer. But, I'm afraid I don't care what anybody says about Andy Burnham; I was witness to how he went about this. It's inherently dishonest. He and Louise Haigh - according to her - have been planning this coup for a year, 1 year after he won the GM mayoralty 3rd term. He promised those voters he was done with Westminster and he wanted to complete his third term more than anything else. So they gave him their vote. Then he walked out on them, and he'd known for a year that he was going to do it. but they didn't know.

In Jan this year and before Makerfield he promised to support the govt and not undermine it. A blatant lie, because he'd known for 6 months what he was going to do. The NEC had wisdom in Jan. But not in the Makerfield by-election. How many MPs did Andy Burnham try to persuade to give up their seats? 26, I heard, before Josh Simons agreed - for a very sweet deal. Then Andy Burnham trashed Labour and the govt and by default Keir Starmer - and used Labour resources to do it. He repeatedly said he wasn't interested in ousting Keir Starmer, that he was dedicated to Makerfield. Another blatant lie.

He started amassing MP support. He got to 97 pretty quickly, but Keir Starmer had a 150 at that point. Then Louise Haigh told him that if he didn't resign the contest would be "brutal". And the campaign to put pressure on MPs ramped up exponentially. The betrayal was mind-boggling. MPs who owed their status in the cabinet to Keir Starmer stabbed him in the back. Others who owed their jobs as MPs to the fact that he won a landslide in 2024 did the same.

Being the decent man that he is, Keir Starmer didn't want to subject the Labour Party to internecine war. So the bullies won. He resigned. And we've lost the best PM this country has had for decades. What makes it even more revolting is that Burnham is now using Keir Starmer's achievements and trying to make out like they're his own, or at his own ideas.

I think it's clear that not all MPs nominating him are doing so because they believe in him. They're doing so because they don't want Labour to fall apart.

Keir Starmer has been a Prime Minister of exceptional standing who did all the hard and difficult work of turning the country round after inheriting a stinking mess from the Tories, taking all the body blows, never flinching, never giving up, never losing his nerve or commitment to the job and the country. He has elevated the UK internationally beyond our wildest dreams, and been the driving force behind European solidarity and security, liked, respect and admired by all.

And he's been kicked out by a plotter and a backstabber who makes and breaks promises as easily as you can switch a light on and off. Who lies with impunity. Who cost the taxpayer about £5million.

I'm not just angry. It's been traumatising, for me and for many here. And nobody is listening to us. We've been completely disenfranchised.

If you've got to the end of this, thank you for persisting.

[JP McQueen🇪🇺 @JPMcQu]

@Bill_Esterson Shame.

[JP McQueen🇪🇺 @JPMcQu]

@zubirahmed @andyburnham You removed a democratically elected leader and installed his replacement. There’s a word for that.

You and the PLP will not be forgiven. Enjoy your pyrrhic victory.

@TheProjectUnity Looks like a modern fusion reactor tokamak, but I suspect the answer is ‘because they could’.

@lmharpin They’re not. And yet they all supported it

🚨NEW: Egypt vs Argentina recorded 23 referee mistakes. The highest at a 2026 world cup game All of them were in favor of Argentina

[JP McQueen🇪🇺 @JPMcQu]

Yes. Next question

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

Are Argentina being treated favourably at World Cup? https://t.co/5zyOLmWl56

[CD Ciudad De Zamora @CdCiudadDZamora]

Los 4 minutos y 21 segundos de la vergüenza.
261 segundos del mayor escandalo que se recuerda en un Mundial.
Seguramente la FIFA hará todo lo posible por que no lo veas.
Maxima difusion!

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Not my invention, but

has been blatant.

[JP McQueen🇪🇺 @JPMcQu]

Expect these to be banned with a week

[Merissa Hansen @merissahansen17]

Humans shouldn’t have to live like this.

[JP McQueen🇪🇺 @JPMcQu]

Might as well just go put my mortgage on Argentina winning this tournament. Egypt were robbed blind. There seems to be a pattern. #Fıfaworldcup

A few days ago, Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh said these words to his lawyer: “This is the last time you will see me...they brought me here to kill me. I don't see myself surviving. This is the end”.

This man is a paediatrician.

@EgyptNT_EN You were robbed

[JP McQueen🇪🇺 @JPMcQu]

@jessicaelgot @maitlis No, because the purpose is to change the conversation from his money affairs to the by election. Doesn’t really matter if it’s a formality, the news cycle has changed

[Stephen Sutherland @sjsuth]

A large part of his unpopularity is doing a bunch of necessary, hard actions necessary to repair an economic outlook that Burnham will now get to inherit, but don’t let that stop you twisting the knife you loathesome unpleasant dickhead.
