5 years on and still relevant..

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The very worst Prime Minister, of the very worst Government. Starmer has disgraced the office, and history will remember him as such.

Resign.

[Claude @claudeai]

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.

This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

Set a treadmill at 21kph ( max most will go to) and try to run for 30 seconds on it.

That's what he did for 1 hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds.

The peak of human physical achievement. Insane, absolutely insane.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

This has been an unbelievable 24 hours even by this government's chaotic standards.

Only yesterday Boris Johnson was forcing his MPs to rip up the rules on standards in public life. It’s a truly damning indictment of this Prime Minister and the corrupt government he leads.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Sir Olly Robbins came over as calm, intelligent, thoughtful, principled, thorough, decent and honest. And a lot more impressive than any of our current Govt. Can we get rid of Starmer and make him Prime Minister?

[Puja Teli @ThePujaTeli]

Crying @deGourlay 😂😂😂

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have broken the law and repeatedly lied to the British public.

They must both resign.

The Conservatives are totally unfit to govern. Britain deserves better.

[Camilla Tominey @CamillaTominey]

Who did this?

BREAKING NEWS: “Starmer denies knowing he was Prime Minister”

Sir Kier Starmer has revealed that no one told him until last Tuesday he won the 2024 election and had become PM.

He told Beth Rigby “I was totally kept in the dark by my officials. I’m really angry about it.”

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

“The Prime Minister lied.

It’s now in the national interest he goes.”

Keir Starmer’s words…not ours.

We’re only holding him to the standards he set himself.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Keir Starmer, 2020: "When they made mistakes, I carried the can. I never turn on my staff and you should never turn on your staff."

Olly Robbins has now been sacked.
Morgan McSweeney resigned.
Tim Allan resigned.
Sir Chris Wormald resigned.

Starmer should be the one resigning.

[Claire Coutinho @ClaireCoutinho]

Mandelson was appointed on 20 December 2024.

Olly Robbins became Perm Sec of the Foreign Office on 8 January 2025.

PM should have asked about vetting before the announcement. If he was lied to, why is that Robbins’ fault?

Vetting happens BEFORE an appt. Robbins wasn’t there.

[Rob Houghton @robh1980]

🤣🤣🤣

[SOI media 🇬🇧 @MediaSOI]

If we simply rename the English Channel “Keir Starmer’s desk” then nothing will fucking cross it

[Rob Houghton @robh1980]

🤡

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Honesty and integrity matter.

Today’s humiliating climb-down showed that the Conservatives know they can no longer defend the indefensible.

It has never been more clear that Boris Johnson's authority is shot and he is unable to lead.

Britain deserves better.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

The Prime Minister appointed Peter Mandelson before the vetting had been completed, vetting Mandelson failed.

Starmer then said full due process was followed. THAT is misleading Parliament.

I'm only holding him to the same standards to which he’s held previous Prime Ministers - that if they mislead parliament, they should resign.

In these dangerous times, Britain cannot afford to have a Prime Minister who the country doesn't trust. Starmer has betrayed our national security. He should go.

[Simon Clarke @SirSimonClarke]

So…are we really expected to believe that FCDO officials just stood by as the Prime Minister repeatedly perjured himself to the Commons over the last six months - and not a word was said?

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

It is preposterous for Starmer to claim he did not know Mandelson failed security vetting.

If the Prime Minister doesn’t know what’s happening in his own office, he shouldn’t be in charge of our country.

He should go.

[Matt Casey 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 @MattCas04807118]

So apart from trying to give away the Chagos islands.

Raising capital gains tax, Raising council tax.
Raising value added tax.

Increasing welfare spending and the minimum wage whilst freezing tax allowances.
Scrapping jury trials.
The only boat he has stopped is HMS dragon from crossing the channel.

What has Starmer really achieved apart from breakfast clubs and the decay of our country?

[Rob Houghton @robh1980]

This….

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Just to be clear... Lord Mandelson, a proven liar, failed security vetting to be the UK's most senior diplomat trusted with vital state and security secrets - but no one at the Foreign Office bothered to tell the PM or anyone else at Number 10 about it.

Do they seriously expect us to believe this claptrap? Just how dumb do they think we are?!

The Prime Minister is either a liar or a fool. Either way, he has to resign.
