I don't think many I speak with, understand when saying my greatest fear right now, are matters stateside. All there to see. Just hope, it is never so again.

[Faye @TweetsFaye]

Away from the onslaught, I hope history will show the work that was being done. Keir is a throughly decent man. He cared. Yet a loud narrative of chaos won - in time folk may see why &who drove it. Took 15yrs to get the track back, just hope not to see the Country played, again.

[Faye @TweetsFaye]

@DeborahMeaden People need to be aware of what some of those running round the corridors of power were up to in the previous 15 years before this. Thank you for using your platform to try and inform, Deborah. Competency, and decency finally came through - let's just hope, that can still be so.

[Faye @TweetsFaye]

@DeborahMeaden Genuinely- what can we do get more in piblic to see what (and who) have been behind the narrative of chaos? We are all too familiar with their intentions - yes, vested interests (& where the funding sources come from).. They tried once before, look where this lead.

[Faye @TweetsFaye]

@supertanskiii The narrative of chaos has been pushed, by some we are all too familiar with. Their intentions are, well, sinister. They're already realising support behind Andy and resorted to 'flip flop'. We know who, and what funding are behind this. Not both sides of the Atlantic -please no.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

I’ve known Keir since he was a lawyer. He was principled then, just as he is now, and throughout his career he has been driven by a deep sense of public service and duty to this country.

He transformed the Labour Party, rooted out antisemitism, restored trust and made our party electable again. He won a historic mandate to change Britain for the better and, most importantly, he delivered on that promise.

With Keir’s leadership, this Labour government brought stability back to our economy, cut NHS waiting lists, improved renters’ rights, began to fix the crisis we inherited in our courts and prisons, reduced small boat crossings, protected young people online, lifted half a million children out of poverty and restored Britain’s standing in the world. He put Britain back at the heart of Europe, stood firmly with Ukraine and rebuilt relationships with our allies.

Change promised, change fought for and change delivered. That is Keir Starmer’s legacy, and I am incredibly proud to have played my part in it.

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

He isn’t … there are plenty of vested interests who want us to believe he is…

[Jack Dart @JackWDart]

If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.

Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.

Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.

Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:

• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.

• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.

• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.

• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.

• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.

• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.

• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.

• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.

• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.

• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.

• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.

• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.

• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.

• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.

• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.

• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.

• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.

• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.

• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.

• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.

• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.

• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.

• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.

• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.

People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.

[Sam @SamCKx]

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.

On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.

After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.

We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

@DeborahMeaden @Keir_Starmer Sadly some (we know who is behind so..) aim to distract & disrupt. Since July '24, campaigns against many cab ministers, agenda in narrative of reporting around Lab, has been fueled by. Even Beeb at times following along with.. Yes, competence & stability is needed -we have that!

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

@MrBrendanCox The fight against those trying to divide and cause rifts in social cohesion, is one of the most worthy that society should have determination for. So crucial, as it is so true - we have more in common. Thinking of you all, Brendan X

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Fantastic to see this @nerve_news investigation trending.

The crypto millions fuelling Britain’s far-right turn (the exact same playbook as Trump) requires much, much more scrutiny.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

The danger of normalisation..

[Faye @TweetsFaye]

@WomaninHavana Greatest fear on seeing the landscape in 2015 and subsequently, individuals within events - was normalisation. It can never be so for matters of such damaging wrong, checks are crucial. Come on world.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

As @davidyelland points out Palantir has ‘help’ from Times. I wrote here about the Observer piece which doesn’t survive a basic fact check. Palantir’s press guy is a political operative using his lobby contacts to channel Palantir spin

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

[Danny Bloom🌷 @danzu72]

I worked for USAID when It was closed, these guys literally were firing senior Foreign Service Officers with 30 years of experience on the spot. These kids were drunk on power and a reckoning is coming. I will always be hot about this shit. I know for a fact we allowed children to die because of these snotty shits.
