@jonsopel Congratulations to the inner circle Labour Party and a baying media for fucking it all up. I for one hoped he would ignore you all and carry on. 2 years of respite and now back to the shit show. Hope the blood lust is temporarily satiated.

[sarah thom @worldofthom]

@omid9 @DeborahMeaden Yes. What a load of old bollocks. I wish he’d ignored them and carried on. The irony is he appears to be too decent to just push on forward against his colleagues. Now what? Imagine this scenario on the other side of the pond. Impossible. And so the arseholes govern on.

[sarah thom @worldofthom]

I totally agree. The right wing bias in the UK media is astounding. They slaughtered Corbyn, are attempting to assassinate Starmer and they will throw Burnham (if he is next) to the wolves. The U.K. is drenched in Tory privilege & they can’t stand it when socialism prevails.

[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.

@CatherineWest1 @maitlis Take £5bn crypto scandal which hardly had any coverage compared to Keir’s glasses. I would love those reporting to focus on policies rather than the constant « change the leader storm in a teacup » narrative. Are they just still addicted to this after the Tory fiasco? @maitlis

[sarah thom @worldofthom]

@CatherineWest1 As a member of your constituency I don’t agree with you here. I think the way the media have bayed for Keir from the outset is disturbing. A similar thing happened with Corbyn. And I have no doubt that the next leader will suffer similarly. @maitlis would love your thoughts

[sarah thom @worldofthom]

Just came back on here for the first time in months. My feed is just full of hate-filled racist rightwing rhetoric. Think I’ll go find out where the thoughtful people went.

[sarah thom @worldofthom]

@TiceRichard So your idea is to betray our children with your greed & short-sightedness. Excellent plan.

[sarah thom @worldofthom]

Yet another billionaire climate change denier @TiceRichard #drillbabydrill so bloody depressing. These boys have no respect for our beautiful planet.

It was a real shame you had to cut him off @BBCNewsnight - what he had to say was absolutely horrifying. Also a shame he wasn’t one of the front campaigners for @VP … surely there is some humanity / empathy out there in amongst those Trump voters?

“I’m not saying I don’t love Donald, he is my uncle. Do I disagree with him on policy? Absolutely!”

Fred Trump the Third, Donald Trump's nephew, tells #Newsnight how he feels about comments he says his uncle made about his disabled son:

An important reminder today for Londoners: our city is - and will always be - for everyone.

We will always be pro-women, pro-diversity, pro-climate and pro-human rights.

These are some of the values that will continue to bind us together as Londoners.

BREAKING: https://t.co/JQWy2gTfhs just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris.

This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.

[Hope 🦬💙❤️ @HopeisaBison]

Remember when #KamalaHarris went immediately to #Iowa when the state's six-week abortion ban went into effect last year and laid out what it would mean for women to try to find the care they needed?

[sarah thom @worldofthom]

@PennyMordaunt @KemiBadenoch Are you actually serious? Are you actually calling this new government cruel & freedom hating? My children have been born into a country of Tory cruelty where it became normal parlance to talk of immigrants ‘invading’ the country. You have some gall @PennyMordaunt.
