Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free. Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Always remember, Labour were willing to save the Scunthorpe steel works, but not Grangemouth or Mossmorran & their Energy Profits Levy is destroying investment, livelihoods & jobs in Aberdeen & the north east. Scotland will always be an afterthought for Westminster, it’s time for independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There is truly no surer sign of being trapped in the Westminster bubble thank thinking that the person to reverse Labour's tanking poll numbers is Wes Streeting.

I support Sir Keir Starmer. He is our PM and must remain as PM. This speculation about his future needs to stop. The media have it in for him and he is actually doing a bloody good job.

vanish if they change leader? Sure, some issues may go away, but of course they'll be replaced with new ones which people will get upset about. The trouble with Labour for most of the press is that it's in government. So fight to change the electoral system be all means, so you can then vote for

The trouble I have is he's no where near as bad as the polling and media make out. There are areas of fundamental weakness but Labour are still delivering on most manifesto promises (I'll attach a link for those who immediately deny this fact). So do we really think criticisms will just magically

You never really hear of the things the government are getting done, the bills they have pushed through. Instead the media amplifies the errors 10x and spout continuous nonsense from certain individuals to whip up hatred. I try not to pay attention to news anymore.

Nil carborundum! James. The country might be close to ungovernable at the moment, but if we lose Starmer, then Labour, to Tory/Reform we are Hungary or Trump's USA. Some people want that. Don't do their job for them. Courage, mon brave!

Maybe some see that repeating things said on social media, that aren't really based on anything that happened in the *real world*, rather than looking at what the actual policies and legislation being passed are, might not be as snappy a comeback as you thought.

Apparently quietly getting on with implementing some positive policies, working to repair 14 years worth of neglect to every part of our society and repairing our international reputation and relationships isn't what we all voted for just over a year ago. We wanted light entertainment and snake oil.

Starmer certainly isn't a populist sloganeer along the lines of Wolfie Polanski or a serial liar and grifter like Nigel Fagash but what is it that he's done that makes his position "untenable"? Beware those interesting times if the right wing press get their man.

The weekly polls promoting a 4-5 seat party, the live coverage of ever utterance of said party across the media …and the same media’s off shoot podcasts …and relentless negative speculation, served up as ‘news’ for 16 months solid. No respect for the folk who voted for Labour under Keir Starmer

James, PM hits rock-bottom while having done nothing much wrong in context of law and ministerial code and you gob on him. Maaaaaaate. Labour & UK economy are a mess & any leader would have the same mess to deal with. Do not underestimate the mess. Brexit plays a major part. 4% growth solves it all

Every labour leaders position is untenable when the Mail, Telegraph, Express, Times are endlessly opining against their every move. This and Robbie Gibbs coup at the BBC, is a concerted effort to move the country right. The Labour govt must grow a spine and resist. Bring in PR, sack Robbie Gibb.

The trouble here James is that it’s the media setting the relevant measures. Looking from afar it all has a sense of a manufactured crisis here and the media are demanding answers to questions that are being asked by the media.

The Immigration rhetoric sticks in my craw, & I'm desperate for them to raise taxes. But otherwise, I'm happy with the workers rights bill, net zero policies, school meals, realignment with the EU etc. I'm not even a true Labour supporter, but I also know no one party gov can please everyone.

The media have worked hard to make 'Starmer's position perilously close to untenable'. This is evidenced by the ample platform given to Farage, the leader of a political party consisting of 5 MPs. Look at the treatment of Farage and his property vs that of Rayner and Reeves.

You're better than this. The man pulled labour out of the electoral gutter... delivered a thumping GE win most ''experts'' said was impossible.. and has since presided over a return to orderly govt after the years of Tory chaos for which you had a front row seat. Very odd post.

You aren't, there's many of us who agree. This Government has delivered or has in progress nearly 60% of its manifesto pledges, never mentioned by the media. Raised minumum wage, free breakfast clubs, fre childcare, Renter Rights, Employment Rights bills and delivered 5m extra hospital appointments.

I feel like the last person alive to believe that losing Starmer would make both Labour's and the country's position worse, and even more unstable. Under this constant onslaught the only faint hope we have is if this shield wall holds.

Why are people trying to tell us today that Labour were not honest about how hard things might be before the election? Labour said it would be tough. They said there would be hard decisions to make. They said it would take a decade of renewal. People seem to have short memories.
