@spayrechaynge@jodymcintyre_ Great book. Oddly, the Guardian which did publish the Starmer bombshell last week, has yet to review it. But neither has anyone else.
@MatthewStadlen Appalling. Austerity 2.0 by the same Team who failed with the same nonsense when in leading roles in Ed Milliband's 2015 failed Labour election campaign. Reeves cannot deliver what working people need. She's a willing hostage of the Treasury. They suggested the WFA cut to her.
@NesrineMalik Lammy's career-making moment was on Mastermind Q: Which king succeeded Henry VIII? Lammy: Henry VII. With this earth-bestriding colossus representing us abroad, this tinpot island off the coast of continental Europe will soon eclipse all.
@AaronBastani Yep you've knicked 300 quid off old people, penalised families with 3+ kids & you take a £4m bung via tax haven hedge fund, claim every expense you can get, incl 4,400 quid in heating bills - let donors buy their way through the #10 front door. You deserve what's coming, 'Sir'.
@SophyRidgeSky Hard when you chop 300 quid off old people, penalise families with 3+ kids and take a £4m bung from tax haven hedge fund, claim every expense you can get, including 4,400 quid in heating bills - plus donors buying their way through the #10 front door. They deserve what's coming.
@Imogenlemon02 Starmer in a paragraph:
A small-minded, greedy, and privileged man, with contempt for all those 'ordinary' people who neither get clothes given to them by 'donors' nor go consulting with fascists about how best to pander to xenophobic, anti-immigrant hysteria.
Disgraceful.
@SangitaMyska Pay him more, but not at the expense of the poorest. And strip them all of all their parliamentary freebies. This would be a *painful* decision, I know, but one that might help those who struggle with our bills keep their donated cans of food-bank gruel down a bit longer.
@guardian@NesrineMalik Great to hear @mrjamesob citing your excellent column today to lead off his 2nd hour discussion on this subject! Although, it has to be conceded,he used the adjective superb! Keep on Nesrine!
@DavidMcGregorBN Well done, Greens. If we'd taken this sort of advice in the 1970s, the ANL would never have driven the fascists off our streets at the battle of Lewisham. Labour and the Communist Party opposed confronting the NF. Despite 1000 police protecting the fascists, they ran away.
@AkimotoThn Disgusting! Prioritising a country that is killing thousands of brown people above memorialising the deaths of innocent Japanese civilians.
Dreadful flag snagging by this die-hard supporter of the world's longest surviving coloniser. She'll be made Chancellor of the University of Oxford after all her deeply solicitous brow-nosing

@jonsopel@maitlis@TheNewsAgents
It seems there is total lack of shared agency intelligence, contrary to your optimism on Friday's American Election podcast. Federal v local. Not good
@MrsStarkAdder@premnsikka Excellent. And hopefully not only the monarchy but the entire, inappropriate for the 21st century, 300-year-old, Crown-in-Parliament, tinpot system. 200 years ago, Shelley et al called for a republic. We've gone backwards. Turn HsofP into a museum. We need a modern building too!
@mrjamesob James, probably the most relevant column by @NesrineMalik I've seen so far. Nesrine looks behind the @Keir_Starmer landslide and asks the crucial question: We know who won but who really lost?
