Life's as Rock 'n' Roll as you make it.

MPs said the support would only be in the event of a Starmer resignation. “There’s a groundswell of colleagues… Unlike all other potential candidates, Darren Jones has both the economic and national security experience we would expect from a PM.”

Funny how the day after the election, the tsunami of ultra violent, misogynistic and racist comments from Reform/Restore/ MAGA accounts has disappeared.

Almost as if this app is co-opted by a headcase to interfere in democratic elections on behalf of foreign actors, isn’t it?

Now we have got that by election over and done with. Can we get back to finding out why Farage was gifted 5 million quid and lobbied the BoE

Murdochs cesspit the Times published a story Starmer had fallen out with Milliband and cancelled meetings with him, the story was repeated by hacks across the British media.

The truth

1 meeting was rescheduled because Millibrands mother had died.

Blatant isn't it.

@PippaCrerar @jessicaelgot @rowenamason Well he should probably ignore them and make him fight for it.

Burnham seems to have Tory levels of arrogance and entitlement.

Labour won the election because the public were sick and tired of that sort of self serving nonsense and infighting.

[Wicks @wicks99]

@PolitlcsUK That’s pretty arrogant isn’t it.

@newswatchbbc High salaries for political journalists Mason & Kuenssberg, who are not impartial but opinion driven, should not be paid. It’s a disservice to licence fee payers. There must be many new factual unbiased reporters who would be better & cheaper.

[The i Paper @theipaper]

Labour has called for the financial watchdog to launch a probe into Nigel Farage over claims he lobbied the Bank of England about a cryptocurrency policy that could prove costly for the billionaire funding his party.

It’s a great day to be winning against Reform 👀

Nigel Farage’s party have lost in Makerfield AND they’ve failed to get the High Court to strike out our trailblazing legal challenge.

Let’s keep up the fight against the far right 👇

@PippaCrerar Excellent news. What’s stopping us. Labour should jump right on this. If they do they’ll win votes - it’s a no brainer.

EXCL: Michel Barnier said Britain could regain its special terms if it rejoined EU and claimed it was becoming clearer every day to the British people that they would be stronger in Europe.

EU’s former chief Brexit negotiator said he could not see any obstacle to UK keeping the pound and remaining outside passport-free Schengen travel area should it rejoin.

@ramonagusta @BBCNews No it’s not. GDP would have been higher than your graph illustrates if we’d stayed in the EU. That’s the point.

[Bawl Pristow @PBistow]

@BBCNews @campbellclaret Loving how every single study by a range of different organizations shows Brexit damaged the British economy - the only difference being by how much - but brexiters just refuse to accept it 😂

[Running Man @_StuartLynn]

@BBCNews Let that sink in: £188 billion every year, £1.88 trillion over a decade.
Money that could have gone into building a better UK economy and delivering real benefits for British people. And yet some continually blame immigrants for the country’s problems. It's an absolute disgrace.

Brexit cost 6% of UK economy, Bank of England company data suggests https://t.co/lAazQrbGqw

@BBCBreakfast Sounds like a sore loser tbh

Clips are going viral of the new $14M paint on the Reflecting Pool peeling off just 12 days after the pool reopened.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran has suspended its entire 60-day negotiation period with the US over the direct violation of the MOU's first clause, with Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon constituting a breach less than 24 hours after the MOU was electronically signed, per Fars and Al-Mayadeen.

Iran's negotiating delegation had already been preparing to depart for Switzerland to launch the first round of talks before Iran made the decision to suspend the entire trip.

Iran will also not unilaterally fulfill its commitments, and until Iran is fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the US has practically adhered to the first-clause obligations, talks remain cancelled.

Leaving the EU customs union was responsible for a small share of the #Brexit damage, find John Springford & @AntonSpisak.

Only rejoining the single market would substantively reduce Brexit's mounting costs.
