In the past couple of weeks @Keir_Starmer has gained 100,000 more followers here. That's possibly a 100,000 new people who don't want him to go. Recently someone said @AndyBurnham is the king of social media. He has 638.1K followers. Starmer has 2.5M 😎 #IStandWithStarmer
Can we possibly break all records with this simple one day poll
Should Keir Starmer change his mind and remain as PM❓
It’s just a poll but can we send a clear message?
@cool_grandad@PhilMyers53 Lazy tropes:
1.JC never became PM so we'll never know how many pledges he'd have had to row back on
2.The debt was *finally* paid off just as JC became leader. He didn't raise the funds!
3.Opinion
4.JC couldn't convert his support into tactical voting. Starmer could - big style!
@DaleVince#PeterMay's recent novel Black Loch, a sequel to his Lewis trilogy, reveals some awful facts about salmon farming. You expect a thriller and get fascinating info about the murky underside and ecological disaster of fish farms into the bargain. Great stuff!

If I thought that this labour coup had been done in the best interests of our country, I would try & accept it. However I actually think it has been done by bitter, vengeful, self-interested people who wanted punishKeir Starmer for not listening to them or doing things their way.
🧵My local MP just called me following an email I sent them Monday. They're FURIOUS. I trust them so when they say PLP/NEC isn't behind it I believe them. This, they say is purely down to a number of high-ranking MPs' personal ambition who have orchestrated this entire situation
That’s not the evidence
We are poorer
We will flourish again when we rejoin the #EU but it seems only our children will have the courage to face up to reality.
Dear @Keir_Starmer. You've often been wrongly accused of U turns in the last couple of years. This time could you please make a definite U turn? Stand for PM. The pretender is an absolute cretin.
Regards
A very concerned country
We voted for Starmer for lots of reasons.
Change
Confidence in delivering a manifesto
But more than that.
Integrity
And
Non corruptible
@UKLabour MP’s don’t have first idea what they have done to the membership and the public by doing this unsavoury coup.
@LBC@SkyNews
Bullying protocols in schools and workplaces need rewriting now, like this:
If a lot of people are declaring extreme hatred for a particular person but it's far from obvious why it's got that bad do NOT properly investigate, but join in because 'a lot of people' can't be wrong.
@ElizabethBangs@PaddyBriggs I keep thinking of Burnham as Macbeth: "If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me / Without my stir".
But then: "I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself
And falls on th’other."
This morning the Govt won a court case meaning the UK won’t have to pay over £100M to Rwanda to clean up the mess left by the Tories.
But sod discussing that, let’s just have yet another day of #PoliticsLive speculating on the Labour leadership.
@Mr_Tola_@luxemiaa It's best not to use words you don't understand. The "sol" prefix in "solipsistic" means "only" and the "ipsis" bit inside the word means "self".
So, it means "selfish" and you've already used that word.
It's called "tautology" and had the opposite effect you were hoping for.
Supermarkets are happy enough for taxpayers to subsidise their low-paid workforce with in-work benefits so they can pay their bosses seven-figure salaries. But ask them even to consider voluntary price caps on basic foods and they'll slam the idea as 'preposterous'.
@Nannybitty@Haggis_UK And yet your timeline is full of support for the Reform company. You only use this "they're all the same" when the Reform company members are attacked.
What is it about Farage that you can't quite bring yourself to believe that he has sold himself to a foreign billionaire?
