@Nawjryw When a friend is murdered you or I would think of their families and other friends. You’d try to,come to,terms with your own grief. You wouldn’t phone up every News desk to arrange to get photographed with your six mates putting wreaths on the ground somewhere close to her home.

@KarlTurnerMP From bus inspector to PM - quite a journey!!😏 Of course with NO legitimacy!
An unethical,undemocratically elected PM!

[nanjan8 @nanjan8]

@LaindonFEMINIST No!! No acknowledgment let alone a response! I would rather abstain than vote for mine in the next G.E.
These MPs forget that Members ( ex now! ) have families and friends who often feel the same! Votes count!

[Linda #BringbackStarmer @LindaR39]

You don’t build broader support by staging a coup either.

[Carolyn Guse #FBPE# 🇬🇧🇪🇺 @Carriegusewize]

@wesstreeting Best not to say too much about Labour unity at the moment, I would have thought, as you and assorted Labour MPs have suddenly deposed our Prime Minister without involving the Labour membership.

[LM @RedfishRoots]

She's got a point

[Elizabeth Bangs. No accountability? No democracy. @ElizabethBangs]

'the right to be heard', though mad if taken as 'the right to be PM, isn't mad if taken at face value. Imagine Burnham from day one unequivocally behind Starmer with help in comms and prioritising of quick wins v long term etc. But he didn't want the PM's ear. He wanted his job.

With 349 MPs now nominating Burnham I hear delegations from North Korea, Cuba, Chad and Moldova are seeking meetings in Manchester to learn the art of bloodless coups and single candidate democracies.

[John Bowyer @JohnBowyer6]

@ZiaYusufUK Don’t speculate means that during an investigation facts start to emerge. Before they do, don’t guess and especially don’t make stuff up to suit your story.
You did it in Southport, you did it in Manchester and you did it with Henry Nowak. Every now and again just shut up.

[Gordon Fielden @GordonFielden]

The Guardian proclaims that Andy Burnham has won a landslide election as Labour leader. That description is, at best, misleading. Not a single member of the Labour Party has cast a vote for Andy Burnham. This was not a leadership election decided by the party’s membership, but by the Parliamentary Labour Party, where MPs overwhelmingly coalesced behind a single candidate following the removal of the incumbent, Sir Keir Starmer.

It is, for many, a profoundly disappointing day for British politics. Whatever one makes of the process, it cannot honestly be described as a membership endorsed mandate. It is the Parliamentary Labour Party that has made this decision, not the hundreds of thousands of Labour members.

Even Tony Blair has expressed doubts in recent months about Andy Burnham’s electoral appeal, questioning whether his political approach is the one the country now requires. Burnham may project confidence, but confidence alone does not guarantee public support, nor does it resolve the divisions that now exist within the Labour movement.

The true political test has not yet begun. If Labour struggles in Greater Manchester once Burnham leaves the mayoralty, or fails to retain that office, serious questions will inevitably be asked about his wider electoral appeal. Equally, if dissatisfaction amongst Labour members continues to grow, the party’s internal divisions are unlikely to disappear simply because the Parliamentary Labour Party has chosen a new leader.

The coming months, rather than today’s declarations of a “landslide”, will determine whether this proves to be a genuine renewal of Labour’s fortunes or merely the beginning of another period of political instability.

@darrenpjones An honourable man like our PM Sir Keir- and hopefully a future ethical, democratically elected PM for our country!

[nanjan8 @nanjan8]

..... And certainly as a new undemocratically elected PM - Just hovering between London and Manchester- ain't gonna cut any new deals either!

[Gordon McIntosh ✨ #FBPE 🇪🇺 💙 @Gordy_Mc1ntosh]

This is what happens when you don't sit around in Manchester playing King of the North.

[nanjan8 @nanjan8]

Absolutely this!⬇️

[Gordon Fielden @GordonFielden]

You do not build electoral success only to undermine it through personal ambition and a belief that your own advancement matters more than the collective good. Many will view your actions as an act of disloyalty that placed individual aspirations above the interests of the party and the country.

Whether fairly or unfairly, that is likely to become a defining feature of your political legacy. In the eyes of many, your prospects of ever leading the Labour Party have been diminished forever.

[Clare Hepworth OBE @Hepworthclare]

@jeannibea @Shivajihimself2 It's not illegal -it is immoral and unethical.
Tories are ruthless at getting rid of their leaders - but at least they have a process involving the 1922 Committee.
Labour have set a whole new bar.
They should be ashamed at manipulating & the tax payers picking up the £5m .cost

[nanjan8 @nanjan8]

@Hepworthclare They'll want the support of Members when it suits THEM! It's all so unbelievably unethical! I am still totally dismayed! Just hope the title - UNELECTED PM is used widely on social media and by the opposition. AB's ego will NOT like that!

[nanjan8 @nanjan8]

@LaindonFEMINIST Brilliant Viviane- SO glad that you are 'still on it'!
NO gaslighting from the new regime!!

[Jennifer Stewart @JenniferJS_]

Thanks for posting this @charlotteukcity. It's beautiful. How anybody could even think of betraying @Keir_Starmer is beyond me. Conflicting emotions keep washing over me. Grief mixed with rage...

[nanjan8 @nanjan8]

@MumofFatCassie Well after all the hype and "vibes" and ousting of our real PM- I for one WILL be expecting MIRACLES from the unelected ' chosen one'!😏

[nanjan8 @nanjan8]

@LaindonFEMINIST He'd better crack on then Viv!
