Open statement to UK broadcasters and the press.
As a Labour member, I am deeply alarmed by the one-sided media coverage around our democratically elected Prime Minister , Keir Starmer.
You are becoming a democracy blocker by giving oxygen to anonymous briefings, factional pressure and anti-Starmer narratives while failing to fairly represent Labour members and MPs who support our Prime Minister.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

Trump, isolated from every serious European leader, publicly announcing the UK Prime Minister’s resignation before Starmer himself has spoken?

Disgraceful. Arrogant. Pathetic. Britain decides its own fate, not some bitter has-been tweeting from Florida.

You are a national embarrassment to America and a threat to allied democracies. Stay in your lane. Useless man.

[Ben 🇬🇧 @BenInRushcliffe]

All this in two years. @Keir_Starmer.

Feel free to share.

[TRUTH🕊️ @HonestHalo]

How the media loves a dramatic headline, but let’s look at the facts.
Keir Starmer has directly stated he is standing firm to deliver on his democratic mandate not walking away.
Tune out the press push and wait for verified announcements.
Honestly, Why do Brits let rumours dictate the narrative?

Retweet if you stand by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni against Trump. Her Quote ‘Italy And I Never Beg’ 🇮🇹
Canada and Greenland never beg either. 🇨🇦🇬🇱

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

I’ll repeat this, Dan. Starmer’s decision to appoint Mandelson was a bad one. He is rightly paying a price. But your criticism of the Prime Minister rings a little hollow when the headline of your piece about Mandelson’s appointment was:

“Ruthless, cynical and cunning - why Mandy is the perfect choice as US ambassador”

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

Reform UK have accepted £9m from foreign-based businessman Christopher Harborne.

Reform UK Deputy Leader @TiceRichard in 2018 on George Soros donating to UK organisations:

"He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?"

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Cut benefits, cut minimum wage, raise retirement age, means test pensions, get rid of the NHS.

Why are you voting for Farage?

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.

Essential for people to know this Reform gang are bandits,and in no way to be trusted

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Why are the main stream media burying this story ?

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

“Britain is a nation of neighbours, not strangers — and it’s time we built a politics of hope that reflects that.”

@ZackPolanski with a message of unity and hope having been out door knocking Handsworth today.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

I think that @BBCNews, @SkyNews @ITVNewsPolitics and @Channel4News should all be reporting on Reform UK and Russian bribery.

RT if you agree!!

Why are the media ignoring such a blatant story?!

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

[The Rejoin EU Party @RejoinP]

❓Should Reform be renamed Russia Party 🇷🇺?

Russian Oligarch gives:
💷 £2.1 million to the Tories
🎾 £160K to play tennis with Boris
🍷 Now Tice meets on the Riviera 🇫🇷

Why is this not front page News?

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻

In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year.

Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it.

*****

"I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude.

My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found.

At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me.

At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul.

At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being.

At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible.

Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever.

I’m writing this to tell you something simple:

Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again.

Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS.

You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless.

You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.

With love and gentleness,

Patricia Routledge

Once more, rest in peace. 🤍

This really cannot be retweeted enough.
Really can’t.

So what you waiting for? 🙏👍
