British Government in a shambles tonight. Nobody quite clear who’s in charge. Who would have thought Labour would be been even more useless than the Tories? Starmer living on borrowed time. Support ebbing away. But to what? Nobody knows. The world has rarely been more dangerous in modern times and we barely have a government.
Our politics really is dominated by a bunch of know-nothing amateurs. Those urging Keir Starmer to announce a timetable for his departure don’t seem to realise the moment he does that he ceases, de facto, to be PM.
🚨 Andrew Neil just delivered a savage verdict on Keir Starmer.
“There’s rarely a situation so bad that it can’t be made worse with a speech by Keir Starmer. No wonder he’s the most unpopular Prime Minister in modern history.”
A veteran broadcaster calling it like it is.
Labour’s collapse continues.
Give it a rest.
Nobody on your front bench has ever run a business - you’re all lawyers, trade unionists and charity workers.
An entire front bench which is parasitic to real working people.
It’s no wonder you have utterly failed and everyone hates you.
You treat the money people work for like it’s yours to take and giveaway to whoever will vote for you.
Working people hate you.
You can't distance yourself now my dear... you were part of the problem, and if you hadn't been booted you would still be part of the problem defending the indefensible like the rest of the sheep on the front bench.. so thanks for the diatribe but no thanks.
Our party has suffered a historic defeat.
Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more.
What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance.
The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people.
We’ve heard the same on the doorstep as we’ve seen in the polls - the cost of living is the top issue for voters of all parties. People have turned to populists and nationalists because we have not done enough to fix it.
Living standards are barely higher than they were a decade and a half ago. People feel hopeless - that the cost of living crisis will never end, and now they see oil and gas companies use global instability to post record profits.
Once again, ordinary people are paying the price for decisions they didn’t make. It’s no wonder that across the UK, working people feel the system is rigged against them.
Things can be so much better than this. Countries including Spain and Canada have shown that economies can grow and people can thrive when governments stay true to labour and social democratic values and put people first. We need to learn from that.
In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer.
We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people.
The Peter Mandelson scandal showed a toxic culture of cronyism.
Decisions like cutting winter fuel allowance just weren’t what people expected from a Labour government.
For too long, successive governments have allowed wealth and power to concentrate at the top without a plan to ensure the benefits of economic growth are shared fairly. The result is an economy that does not work for the majority, with wealth concentrated in too few hands. This level of inequality, alongside squeezed living standards, is the outcome of a model built on deregulation, privatisation, and trickle-down economics.
But we have the chance to fix this.

Strength through fairness. Hope for the future. Real answers to the challenges facing our country.
This morning, I’m setting out the path ahead to build a stronger and fairer Britain.
Watch my speech across my social media channels.
It's clear when @DavidLammy said @Keir_Starmer 's name didn't come up on the doorstep he was either deaf, stupid, or lying. It's clear that's all that came up on the doorstep.
@UKLabour#GetRid of them both and send @Ed_Miliband with them. They are all as deluded as each other
@UKLabour on @bbclaurak are as blind as @Keir_Starmer is arrogant. New tag line for them all to parrot. "He knows it, I know it, we all know it. If you think its not about Stamer you know nothing. Useless.
Bravo, @Keir_Starmer, for getting in an Adviser on Women and Girls who thinks the definition of women and girls includes men and boys. That'll definitely win back people who believe Labour's a party for smug, lanyard-wearing, luxury-belief-espousing cultural elitists. 1/2
There is a myth, very widely held in Labour, that we achieved an huge popular victory in 2024 under Starmer.
In fact we won 9.7 million votes, over 3 million fewer than in 2017 and half a million less than the 'disastrous' 2019 poll.
We won because the Tories imploded in 2024.
🚨NEWS: Norway has begun RE-OPENING North Sea Oil sites to meet growing demand from the UK
In case you weren't aware of just how stupid the UK Government is, they are BLOCKING permits to drill while PAYING Norway to drill oil from the North Sea instead
We are led by clowns
Milliband has been humiliated and totally rejected by the electorate once again.
What does it take for him to get it,?
He is unsuitable for public office.
Starmer once again shown utter contempt for the voters and terrible judgement employing Milliband .
He has cost business and hard working people billions.
He must go with immediate effect and investigated for wrongdoing also.
