@RubyBeech @Hepworthclare It says a lot that of 400 MPs that only one ,parachuted in, considers himself capable of taking the top job. I suppose they were anxious not to end up with the same problem when they last decided to nominate alternatives so members could decide.

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

Burnham must either deny the plot for him to replace Starmer was hatched last year, or explain why party members have been excluded from the process. Perhaps he needs to explain both!

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

I fear we are heading back to the politics of gimmicks with a costly and meaningless new Prime Minister residence 'in the north'. Tricks with mirrors and smoke.

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

The dignity and grace shown by Keir Starmer shows why he was the new approach we wanted. But they plotted to get rid of him. Now he is gone, and the pigs stand on their hind legs and chant "two legs good". It is all so familiar.

@ToryWipeout A pathetic disgrace!

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@AmericaRecharge No, it is and was all bloody obvious.

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@dave43law Window dressing. Why not spend some time asking what your party members think about your coup.

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@helstu89 @Keir_Starmer I agree, it is a disgrace; the more so since it is now clear they plotted this a year ago. Nasty, deceitful, and with no say given to the party members who are now urged to put-up or shut-up! What a way to start! He will wear Starmer's shoes, but they won't fit.

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@RSylvester1 @ObserverUK As with the leadership, the Labour party members are the last to be consulted!

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@wesstreeting @DailyMirror @andyburnham @fbunational disengenuously pretending it to be new when it is current strategy!

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@wesstreeting @DailyMirror @andyburnham @fbunational Labour manifesto. Would have been better had you got behind it before.

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@JackyCwiero Certainly Blair made far fewer trips; but on the other hand he took us into a blindingly stupid war that cost us dear. Perhaps a bit more globe trotting to avoid that might have been better.

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

It becomes clear that the plot against Starmer was hatched last year, not as a reaction to poor midterm election results, and that Labour party members are being excluded from any decision. Little wonder then that Starmer has been left undefended by Labour MPs as they stood aside watching the rightwing media tear chunks out of the PM. They did the minimum to put the case for the government, while feeding stories to the media. I have only one thing to say to them: they are a disgrace.

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

My mum wheeled me around in a pram campaigning for Labour in the 1950s, I have worked and supported the party ever since, yet Andy Burnham is happy that I and other members should be ignored as he steals Starmer's job through a plot hatched last year. How do you justify that @andyburnham?

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

All those Labour MPs will cheer the achievements of this Labour Government led by Keir Starmer having plotted his overthrow. What hypocrisy that will be!

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@PippaCrerar @jessicaelgot He needs to win over his party and explain why members have been excluded given the plot was hatched over a year ago!

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

complete piffle! Do you not trust the members to make a decision? Do you not think Keir Starmer has been doing a good job? We worked hard to get Labour a mandate with Sir Keir Starmer, you are giving that mandate to Burnham, who audaciously presents it as something new! It is a disgrace. We know the plot has been going on since early last year at the least. You all stood by and watched Keir Starmer being attacked by the Rightwing media.

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

The Labour party Website says "Stay up to date with the Leadership Election". What leadership election?

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@BBCNewsnight Oh gosh, I hope not. Have you seen how that has destroyed political debate in the USA?

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

@maudsnorts 👏

[Professor Ray Noble @Ray_Noble1]

Wake up Labour members, deposing your leader without consulting you is a disgrace. Demand a say. Else this coup will change Labour democracy for ever.
