For over 75 years, NATO has kept the UK and our Allies safe.
The alliance is the cornerstone of our defence. Today I met with @SecGenNATO and our allies to discuss how we are strengthening our deterrence and security and stepping up our support for Ukraine.
So let me get this straight:
- Inflation lower than predicted
- unemployment falling
- small boat crossings falling
- NHS Waiting lists falling
- Interest rates stable
- Asylum hotel use falling
- net migration down 82%
- school attendance up
And Keir’s doing a really bad job?
Michelle Obama: Not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you… the claims that a U.S. Senator and constitutional law expert wasn't qualified for the job. The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you'd had a son that he too would be black, yet you were unflappable at every turn, always focused.
“Joshua” caller speaking to Tom Swarbrick Tory boy saying reason Starmer faces this is the misinformation and media smearing of him since Day 1.
Tom haughtily saying “well that’s our job”
No it really isn’t Tom
It’s Russia’s job and UK media is helping them
@LBC@BBCNews
Incredible coincidence that @nigel_Farage watched the England game in the same spot in the same pub, with the same flags up, wearing the same top and standing next to someone wearing an identical top as he did during the Euros in 2024.
📸 Great photo of @JoeBiden and @DrBiden with the Obamas, Bushes, and Clintons in Chicago today.
This is America. Not what is currently in the White House.
Putin's troll army is desperately trying shut a door that has been blown wide open, namely that Russia orchestrated the terrorist attacks on Starmer's property, and Russia and its little tools, especially Tommy Robinson, spread propaganda lies against Starmer, and Russia tried to demonise Muslims and stir up hate and violence. And all the time Russia was helped by traitors like Yaxley-Lennon and the other little fascist tools who were all too eager to take part in Russia's hybrid war against the UK.
The entire far-right are traitors collaborating in Putin's war against their country.
The Starmer "rent boys" smear was pumped around this platform by the usual plastic-patriot-cosplay accounts: conspiracists, rage-farmers, blue-tick sludge merchants and people who somehow always end up pumping out exactly the shit Moscow would prefer.
Paid? "Useful idiots"?
Or just addicted to any lie that hurt the right target?
Fuck knows. (But maybe someone should try to find out!)
But if your politics makes you indistinguishable from a hostile-state distribution network, you should probably stop calling it patriotism.

Feels like this should be a big story, no?
Russia behind attacks targeting the British Prime Minister.
Take your feelings for Keir Starmer out of this equation and the fact that it doesn't even make the LBC 7am headlines is astonishing.
Wind back a few years and imagine if this had happened to Boris Johnson — our media would be talking about nothing else.
The fixation within the media on promoting Nigel Farage and the obsession with tearing down Keir Starmer has led us into a news vortex that is almost impossible to peer out of.
Sure the social media ban is big news and sure, there are other stories to talk about, but this is, effectively, a state-sponsored assassination attempt on our Prime Minister.
Right? Or am I missing something here?
We have lost all journalistic integrity within our mainstream news broadcasters — see Beth Rigby turning a press conference about social media, into a question about Starmer being ousted yesterday.
Occasionally, I feel like I'm going mad; have we all lost our collective memories of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.
By orders of magnitude, the two worst Prime Ministers that UK has ever had to endure, but we are being force-fed the line that Starmer is far worse.
I'm not a Starmer fanboy, despite what the inevitable comments below will say, but I do think he has a level of competence that vastly outstrips the aforementioned Truss/Johnson debacle.
So this story is moved on because it is too Starmer-positive — it might create feelings of sympathy in some — and that cannot be allowed.
What a ludicrous and disgraceful state of reporting we are being subjected to.
@mcdermottkc_@JustGiving I just gave £, as my wonderful Professor (PhD supervisor) sadly passed away. I wasn't expecting to add a further donation to @JustGiving. I don't mind paying service charges, as waiters work hard for very little and are often abused (my son was one when a student).
