@clarescastle Al Carns resigns

[The Analyst @TheWhynot99]

@ToryWipeout @simondale11 Obviously you know a lot more than the actual defence secretary.
Maybe you should apply for the role now? 😁

@CrewkerneMan @JoshFG Calibre of Labour MPs!

@aftertheflood_ @oldishbird1 @C1evrNameHere @ninavars I don't think it matters to people who are nicely ensconced in their ivory towers.

[David Wolfson @DXW_KC]

Faced with a choice between a Defence Secretary who wanted to spend more on our armed forces, a Chancellor who wouldn’t, and an Attorney General who enjoys suing them, the Prime Minister decided he could do without … the Defence Secretary.

[Patrick Christys @PatrickChristys]

Starmer has chosen his own job over the defence of our nation. He would have to sack Rachel Reeves in order to fund defence properly. He’s chosen not to do that because if the Chancellor goes, he goes. That is not patriotism. That is weak, selfish cowardice.

[The Analyst @TheWhynot99]

@oldishbird1 @wesstreeting Sure, let’s act like defence spending is a luxury because nothing says ‘protecting public services’ like not protecting the country they depend on.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

This is bullshit.

What I ACTUALLY said is we "cannot have another left-wing government. But I'm afraid that Reform has quite a lot of left-wing ideas. They want more benefits. They want nationalisation”
I then said.
On "deals, non-aggression pacts and so on....I'm just saying no. It's just no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

[The Analyst @TheWhynot99]

@oldishbird1 @LBC @NickFerrariLBC So we are really at the stage where beheadings are normal and happens everywhere but tweeting about it is unforgivable, incites violence and should be censored?

[The Analyst @TheWhynot99]

@GuidoFawkes so this was true then?🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

BREAKING: Starmer hits back at John Healey.

"We can't fund free breakfast clubs and bullets, I chose middle class children's toast. I'm sorry John has joined the far right but he will be feeling the full force of the law"

[The Analyst @TheWhynot99]

@oldishbird1 @LBC @NickFerrariLBC "happens everywhere". Are you OK?

Murder happens everywhere too, yet we still examine the motives, ideologies, and social influences behind particular crimes.
The question is whether particular cultural, religious, or ideological influences played a role in a specific incident.

[The Analyst @TheWhynot99]

@oldishbird1 @C1evrNameHere @ninavars This is a classic framing technique: focus on % rather than the underlying numbers and severity.

Grooming gang cases are concerning because of the organised nature of the abuse, the number of victims involved, and the documented failures to protect them.

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

Labour's own people are telling you everything you need to know.

Wes Streeting: Reeves has no plan for growth.

Pat McFadden: all Labour want to do is tax more to pay more benefits.

John Healey: Starmer won't fund our armed forces.

Jess Phillips: PM only acted to protect women and girls when it needed to save his own skin over Mandelson.

A government turning in on itself.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Blunt resignation letter to PM from Healey. Says proposed increase in defence spending falls far short of what’s required. And reveals defence spending would still only be 2.68% by 2030 (currently circa 2.5%). A quite pathetic increase.
This is a devastating blow for Starmer at a time when he couldn’t be more vulnerable. Interesting to see what Andy Burnham says. Not said a dickie bird about defence so far.

[The Analyst @TheWhynot99]

@PatrickChristys At last a Labour MP with principles and a spine.

🚨 BREAKING: John Healey has resigned as Defence Secretary over Keir Starmer's lack of funding for defence

Blocking X won’t prevent beheadings.
