I long for the day when DfE and other commentators remember what many in schools are trying to remind us: children are in school. They are CHILDREN. Can we please remember that and not expect them to be mini adults all of the time?

Also, I feel as though Burnham has fallen into the EU and Brexit trap Streeting set for him. Simply saying what he thinks voters in Makerfield might want to hear to see off Reform is meek.

Surely the King has the best excuse not to go: his health. Visit postponed and everyone can just take a step back. The idea that the King would agree with a bully who trash talks UK shows he has no clue about the Royal Family. (Who have had some issues with American relationships over the years.)

If we could have a look at 'Kevin's' social media, I think it would reveal that he was not a supporter of Starmer's until 2 weeks ago. Maybe in future, if someone claims this, ask them for specifics of areas they supported him on before proceeding to the open criticism they are desperate to share.

I think a little more focus on standing up to Trump at home in America would be good. Also, can we please take into consideration that Ukraine is very much at the forefront of all these leaders not 'Standing tough'. Looking tough won't help actual Ukrainians in a real war right now.

Basic translation of real meaning: "I was walking along my very rich, posh street and saw someone who did not look rich enough or posh enough to be here. I was outraged that someone like that is allowed to freely walk down a street like mine. London has fallen."

So powerful from Fleet. I have been furious all week about how the opportunists were exploiting the victims for their own political games and to hear it said so eloquently by Fleet, I hope those people reflect on their behaviour this week. I doubt they will though.

What they want is a world where women organise every part of mens lives for them, including the admin of transporting millions of other women to these gulags, but to never expect a say in society. A passive and supportive matriarchy, if you will. Guys like Nick couldn't organise a party in a brewery

I haven't bought anything for years from 'The Big A', as it is known in our house. So many other businesses out there that can rival cost and quality. I am also clinging on to the 90s vibe of actually leaving the house to purchase something.

Comments were vile, so no he does not speak for England. Is there a certain level of rich where you simply do not care about anything impacting your business or brand? Maybe we could term it 'Ratner Rich.'

As a former member, I am amazed that we have learned nothing from the Jo Swinson years. This is opportunistic Ed. Also dangerous. There is absolutely no need for calls for a general election unless you want a Reform govt. Irresponsible and not something I would have thought you would become.

I am furious for the victims. A big scalp like Starmer will make the opportunists feel like they ' have done something' whilst polishing their career aspirations. Not one abuser will face justice and no victim will see justice done. The perps getting away with it all over again as Labour implodes.

I am so angry that instead of prioritizing victims of Epstein abuse, some in Labour have decided this is too good an opportunity to pass up for their own career advancement. Knifing all comers. Rats in a sack politics.

Please make a video about how naked opportunism by some MPs is showing they are exploiting victims for own gain. Also, how are we in UK going to make Starmer accountable for crimes he didn't commit, but allowing rapists and paedophiles to get away, scot free yet again? I am furious for the victims.

Wooshell @wooshell77.bsky.social · 04/02/2026
Opportunism would be how this is viewed. Also, a self indulgent action like resignation helps not one survivor of abuse. Maybe MPs: keep your job and instead prioritize getting justice for victims and offering support for all abused in the justice system.

I have always liked Burnham, but giving up Mayor to be an MP smacked of personal ambition to unseat PM and nothing else. He was elected by the people of Manchester and has two more years left. Surely they all should be able to 'get what they voted for' across the whole region when they elected him.

Sadly, no matter what the decision had been, certain individuals in the media would have a field day. Once they got podcasts, they needed an endless stream of content and this is where we have ended up: endless commentary and gossip masquerading as journalism.

As a Brit, I have been shocked by many things, but the lack of a proper operational uniform is so odd. What Border are they guarding in Minneapolis? Ripped crotch trousers, Vans, all different jackets. These people could be cosplaying agents and buying their own kit and no one would know.

Hate: Drivers who don't allow those emerging onto the motorway any room. Recently saw a Transit van go from the outside lane to the inside lane just at the point a Mini was trying to get on. Mini driver is the only one who avoided the crash there with quick thinking. Love: service stations.

Always makes me smile to think how Trump and others view certain European leaders and ministers. Being brash, cocky and throwing your weight around doesn't come naturally in Europe, so they underestimate them every time.

Anyone slamming Starmer for Trump's actions need to think again. Ukraine has been the most important consideration in trying to placate Trump and we shouldn't forget it. This Greenland situation is a game changer, but we can't have a PM who reacts to everything emotionally like Opposition can.

Neil Coyle MP has written a brutal takedown letter to Nigel Farage for his breach of parliamentary protocol, because Farage visited Coyle's London constituency without notifying him. 10/10 no notes. (H/T @simonpegg.bsky.social)

Mr Farge,

Visiting Bermondsey and Old Southwark

I am writing following your public engagement on 7th January in London Bridge, which is in my constituency: Bermondsey and Old Southwark.

I appreciate you are unfamiliar with constituency requirements given your inattention to Clacton since being elected. But given you have spent three decades in and around Parliament, you should be aware that established protocol requires any MP conducting official business in another Member's constituency to notify the relevant Member in advance. You failed to follow parliamentary protocol on this matter last week. As someone who has so desperately attempted to be in Westminster for such a long time, I hope you are capable of learning and adhering to procedures, although I won't hold my breath.

Given you have described our capital city as 'crime-ridden' and 'unsafe' it must have been very difficult for you to pluck up the courage to book a venue in the centre of the capital for your event to promote yet another Tory defect in your ranks. But please do conform to the rules should you ever come back.

Your preference for spending time in London rather than Clacton (which is your constituency by the way), demonstrates the typically deceitful nature of your attacks on our capital. Deep down, you agree with me and the millions of UK and international visitors every year, that London remains our greatest city and well worth spending time in!

I would say I look forward to your next visit to the best constituency, in the best city, in the best country on the planet, but unlike you and the former Tories who riddle your party, I am not comfortable spouting untruths.

Sincerely,

Neil

Neil Coyle MP
