Laura Kuenssberg:

"Why do you think Keir Starmer had to go?"

I don't know Laura, maybe you Chris Mason, Henry Zeffman, Nick Robinson, Robbie Gibb and co could tell us, seeing as you all campaigned for it so relentlessly

@Ausette91 @PenajaAgain Nursing homes are staffed by people paid to care for people. Not people's children.

@AmandaH53287213 @JonathanNorstr1 @Aristotle7777 I will never be financially dependant on a man. Ever.

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@CREELSLUT @LyndyMountain @PolitlcsUK @FT Yes, but Burnham is meant to be advocating for the north so he needs to include all of the north which he doesn't seem to be doing. If he wasn't standing on that principle I wouldn't be commenting

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@PolitlcsUK @FT Has he even heard of Newcastle ?

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@LyndyMountain @PolitlcsUK @FT Everyone from the south thinks the north ends at Manchester. Anything above them is a mysterious land they cannot name or see

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@PolitlcsUK @FT Manchester is not the north

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@ThrillaRilla369 No ... I would never give up my financial security and independence. I expect my partner to share equally

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@SamJRushworth @kathy279 I am pleased you have been supportive of Keir Starmer. I am upset he has resigned but fully understand his position. I'm a north west Durham voter and this means a lot

THE QUESTION NOBODY WANTS TO ANSWER
Something curious is happening in Westminster.
Keir Starmer lists achievements that critics said were impossible.
The economy stabilising.
Waiting lists falling.
Migration coming down.
Britain rebuilding relationships abroad.
Yet the conversation is not about whether those achievements matter.
It is about who should inherit them.
That should give us pause.
Because there are two very different arguments.
One says Starmer has failed.
The other says Burnham won a by-election.
Those are not the same thing.
One is a verdict on government.
The other is an opportunity spotted by ambitious people.
And perhaps the greatest irony of all is this:
The louder the talk of a "calm", "dignified" and "consensual" handover becomes, the less it sounds like unity and the more it sounds like power.
Politics is full of people who want the crown.
Britain needs people willing to carry the burden.
Keir Starmer inherited a country that was broken.
He rebuilt the party.
He won the mandate.
Now he is doing the difficult work of rebuilding the nation.
That is not a reason to replace him.
It is a reason to let him finish the job.

All this talk of Starmer "gracefully stepping down" etc . . .
Why should he?
So the rebels don't have to put their money where their mouth is?
So Burnham can hijack Starmer's hard unglamorous successful work without doing it??

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@DeborahMeaden Yes, unfortunately

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@PolitlcsUK @thetimes Crikey ... The man of the left ... The man who can make a radical difference. Talks austerity yet again.

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@jeremycorbyn @STWuk Thoroughly agree

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@David97768248 @Tealflames Yes, I cross the channel to France and they speak an entirely different language. Then pop over the border to Germany and another language. Can drive there in a day

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@Americanvalues @Owens_EFC @DeFozzy Oh sorry ... I thought twitter was a global company offering services to the world not a myopic, parochial limited service for only americans

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@Trierarch81 @BeardedBrownMa1 Yes, British people always complain about the weather. Too hot, too cold, too rainy, not enough rain, too much snow, not enough snow .... On and on and on and on it goes

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@easybod @SwallowBug11 Yes, the wind and the slicing rain which makes you feel like you've been exfoliated by a cheese grater. We have walls near on 75cm thick and still the rain can sometimes get in

[LittleMy @oftheWildFells]

@CutlassLegacy @SwallowBug11 I live in a similar house in UK. There are plenty of them, like yours built, mid 1800s. Newer ones not so good.
