Hilarious to watch journalists on the news shocked that people think they played a role in ousting Kier Starmer. Um, yes. It's basically been tantamount to bullying. It should have been a logical political decision, rather than feeling pressured because he's been told for months, "nobody likes you".

I hate this narrative that someone genuinely lovely could never win off their own bat. Richard is nice, he's funny, he's a real gentleman and he's genuine. He deserved to win and owes zero thanks to that horrid narcissist and her minions #bbuk #bbll
