Keir Starmer is now recognised as a serious international leader. He has stood alongside President Zelensky, Chancellor Scholz and President Macron at a time when Europe's security faces its greatest challenge in generations.
He has shown he can work with President Trump when necessary and stand up to him when Britain's interests demand it. That is the responsibility of a Prime Minister.
Andy Burnham has spent years as a regional mayor after leaving frontline national politics. Running Greater Manchester is one thing. Representing Britain on the world stage is quite another.
The question is simple. Looking at these pictures, which of these men looks ready to lead Britain through the challenges ahead?
@PhilMyers53 I have agreed with you all the way until now. A vote for Reform is a vote for the devil. I place my faith in Starmer to see off a challenge by Burnham. However, may I dream….that Starmer, Burnham, Streeting work together for the good of the country
May I challenge Andy Bull’s description of #Lords having ‘supercilious staff’. Some of the members are certainly unfriendly but the staff are approachable, helpful and welcoming. His other comments strike home. I still love it https://t.co/l249BctVBI
@guardian thank you for your piece on the #NHS and empathy. My experience over the last two year places Leicester General and Glenfield hospitals high on the empathy table from porter and cleaner through to consultant. https://t.co/7qfeeduUmI
May I quote John Grace who says it about the odious Farage all decent people ‘He doesn’t give a shit about anyone or anything but himself. He is devoid of empathy, unable to see beyond his own vanity.’
Is this the week when inspiration triumphs over despair? Alan Milburn gave hope to young people. This report surely gives hope to the world. @elonmusk the ball is in your court https://t.co/2UE98NUhpd
We’ve hit a big landmark – 10 million free breakfasts served.
10 million better days at school – more children turning up, concentrating, getting on.
10 million easier mornings for parents – better drop-offs & commutes.
Change doesn’t happen by chance, it comes with Labour. 🌹
🚨NEW: Singer Martina McBride has decined Donald Trump's invitation to his Freedom 250 concert, saying that she and other artists were misled.
RETWEET to thank McBride for standing up to Trump!
@RJPartington thank you first for quoting Alan Milburn: “Everybody goes for the bloody easy solution. You can’t just go for the easy solution, OK? There are no easy solutions, guys. None. They’re all hard.”
If anything is to be printed on the side of buses, it is surely this
Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.
Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.
@JohnRentoul@K4Owen I’m very fond of Wigan. My daughter married a Wigan man and we used to come over to look after their daughters. Knowing the Manufacturing history of Wigan, I’m not surprised that a party that promises dreams may be popular https://t.co/3lHtrwjqTP
