Excellent piece by MP Michael Payne. Shows how Starmer is different to most in politics (in a good way), the HUGE list of achievements from this Labour government so far. And I think it all shows that the PM has no intention of going. He will not walk away because Burnham or Streeting demands it.

Michael Payne MP reflects on the Keir Starmer he has served under and what he has delivered in government.

I'm posting these again, I know it pees some people of who complain about Starmer supporters just posting lists of achievements as if they don't matter but tough, scroll on by if you don't like it. This is unprecedented in under 2 years and how else should we judge a Government.

If Labour think changing PM will help, it won’t. The media will hound and hate whoever takes Starmer’s place just as much. For some reason, they have a desperate desire to see Farage become PM. They are not acting in the national interest.

@catherinewestmp.bsky.social As a member of the Labour party I am horrified by what you are doing. What makes you think that whomever replaces Keir won't be vilified in the same way. We have 3 years, stop being a Reform patsy.

A lot of positive Economic news announced this month. Conveniently buried in the Westminster drama being played out in the media. Well done that girl from Accounts. 👏👏👏

I've just heard Chris Mason say that cabinet ministers confide in him. If that is true, they should be named and shamed. Chris Mason is anti Labour and all they are doing is giving him ammunition.

😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾 TWO things i found on Threads that made me stop and think. 1. Confirmation that the media is biased against Labour and are working actively to bring it and SKS down 2. No surprise. Now imagine how Farage, the media darling, or any of his scummy crew would fare.

In light of Starmer being open and transparent over the security clearance of Mandelson, only fair that Badenoch now releases the advice surrounding Lord Lebedev. We still don’t know why the son of a former KGB agent is in the House of Lords. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

 Am I the only British person who
 thinks that, though not perfect, that
 the UK is a fantastic place to live.
 Beautiful scenery, history, culture, a
 good standard of living, no guns,
 relatively low crime rate, diversity of
 culture and ethnicity and a society
 that is very integrated and happy.
 Why on earth is the right-wing media
 so hellbent on talking the UK down?
 We are NOT overrun by Muslims, or a
 hot bed of lawlessnes, or lack
 freedom of expression. Why does the
 right-wing hate the UK?

It seems that the UK media has been given a new remit. The 'gotcha' style of interview has embedded itself so firmly into the political scene, journos seem to be vying to make theirs the most haranguing. This govt is never asked about policy, just blamed for it by right wing naysayers for clickbait.

Another day, another bollockfest. Labour announces a major new policy, the biggest defence investment in decades at a time when it's actually needed & it's been nothing but condemnation, left wing whining & stupid, embarrassing journo warfare tropes. I despair of this bloody country & it's media 🤦

BBC political analysis is reaching a nadir. Superficial, persistently adopting far right framing, utterly without insight. Just properly piss-poor. The fact that someone with a working brain could write this piece without seeking medical attention is astonishing.

If you're interviewing a Trump apologist in the UK media/politics sphere, don't ask about trade, tariffs or even NATO *until* you've asked about the coup attemt, the sex offending & the felonies. These people claim to care about all the things that Trump denigrates daily. Call them out on it.
