@thatginamiller@LBC@IainDale Well done to you and David for holding your nerve, particularly against the utterly insufferable, sneering Ella Whelan. It's nothing to do with class but what is right for the country and by most metrics, Brexit has been a disaster for the UK.

@areheritige@JackLloyd_18@Sonny496@ElectionMapsUK@FindoutnowUK No, he's correct. The reality is most people rely on a functioning state (schools/NHS/emergency services/justice) why the fuck would they trust a Russian funded private company designed to fuck the UK & one that's stuffed full of ex-Tories who dry fucked the country for 14 years?
Farage on #BBCBreakfast: “If Andy Burnham becomes PM we need a General Election, no mandate!”
Sally Nugent: “Do your MPs who defected from the Tories have a mandate?”
Watch the chancer’s face as his own logic gets rammed straight back down his throat. Pure gold.
This is the exact line every interviewer should use on him from now on.😂😂😂
RT if Sally Nugent deserves a medal 👇👇👇👇
Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf and his Reform UK charlatans are screaming for a general election.
Spare us. Five of your precious MPs are ex-Tory defectors who sneaked into Parliament through the back door with zero by-elections and zero voter consent.
You lot are the backdoor power grab you pretend to hate.
Hypocritical frauds. #ReformUK
@Nigel_Farage "Radical change" from Nigel Farage the ultimate anti-establishment outsider...if your idea of a revolution is a city trader with a private education and a frequent-flyer card to Mar-a-lago, the Kremlin, and spent more time in a TV studio than actually turning up to do his job
@letitbeta2@LeanneSpurs@CarverEmily Don't forget the Russian bribes for questions in the EU Parliament, for which his then-Wales leader, Nathan Gill, is now doing time. Nige, of course, conveniently didn't know Gill well despite their long-standing history 🙄 @NathanGillMEP
@CarverEmily That's not how it works toots. Recent PM's who assumed office:
Thatcher -> Major (1990)
Blair -> Brown (2007)
Cameron -> May (2016)
May -> Johnson (2019)
Johnson -> Truss (2022)
Truss -> Sunak (2022)
With a GE only two years ago, there is a definitive precedent for this.
Inherited £3 trillion debt, a broken NHS, prisons full, 5 million extra people you allowed in, HS2, far-right rioters the Tories encouraged, yet controlled inflation you increased to 11%, lowered interest rates, raised the minimum wage and reduced immigration.
You should apologise to him and us all.
@Angelsfeartogo I will never understand the visceral hatred of this man. He made some mistakes, unquestionable, employing Mandelson was an own goal, but Renters Rights Bill/NHS waiting lists/Breakfast Clubs/Iran stance, just for kick off, most of the people depend on left wing politics!
If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.
Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.
Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.
Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:
• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.
• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.
• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.
• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.
• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.
• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.
• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.
• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.
• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.
• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.
• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.
• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.
• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.
• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.
• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.
• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.
• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.
• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.
• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.
• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.
• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.
• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.
• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.
• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.
People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.
