It strikes me that the problem Starmer primarily has boils down to him wanting to make improvements quietly, sensibly and lastingly, and he isn't a massive bloody show-off. His unpopularity says more about us than it does about him. We are a profoundly unserious country. #r4today
Comedy palate cleanser. Robert Jenrick about to grandstand but reminded of his defection from one party to another this year is gold. The timing. First line great. Second line superb but crowd not recovered from the first to fully appreciate it 😊
Dear @UKLabour, you are fucking nuts if you get rid of Starmer @Keir_Starmer right now. Farage @Nigel_Farage, Putin, Netanyahu & Trump are just waiting to jump in divide you and exploit you while you pull each other apart. Sort your fucking selves out FFS!
It would be great if Starmer set up the podium in Downing Street for a speech, the media frothing in excitement expecting his resignation.
He then says "I am announcing that within 12 months there will be a referendum to join the EU or Single market".
To my Labour colleagues we criticised the Tories for chaos and division and we cannot now inflict the same on the country ourselves.
People are angry and hurt, yes. But turning inwards helps nobody. We have a King’s Speech in two days.
Calm down, unite, and get on with the job.
If people are calling for @Keir_Starmer to go, he must be doing a terrible job
And yet he isn't
Think of the mess Labour inherited
Look at the progress made in under 2 years
Look beyond the right-wing media campaign

It makes me sad that he’s been ringing the alarm of climate disaster for decades and everyone is just like ‘aw what a sweet old national treasure’ and ignoring him
Could at least one journalist, just once, when one of their colleagues is brushed off like this, just step in and say “no, we are not moving in, because you’ve avoided this all week …” They’re too easily pushed aside
"Sickening sight and smell as human sewage pours into Carmarthenshire river."
So it's all been going on in Wales this weekend. Welsh Water really are a joke.

Feargal Sharkey, "Water companies... The fines don't work, it's time we actually started upholding the law, and sending some of these executives and directors to jail"
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "You think we should put them in jail?"
Feargal Sharkey, "If we put one water company boss in jail for six weeks the whole industry would transform itself"
I see Farage has been referred to the standards watchdog over his £5m grift. It would be a shame if everyone was talking about just before Thursday’s elections.
In 2024, The Sun led with several stories regarding Starmer receiving clothes & spectacles from a Labour donor - even repeating accusations he’s “King of the Freebies”
In 2026, The Sun hasn’t published a *single story* about Farage receiving a £5m gift from a Reform donor
@SteveSkojec I teach 18 year old who are all so stressed and anxious. They don't spend their weekends dancing, getting drunk, being silly. There's no release for them because they're so fearful of being recorded. So sad.
