It’s clear watching Starmer’s final PMQs that the Labour Party has just made an absolutely catastrophic error, blinded by panic, afflicted by petty opportunist factionalism, and entirely disengaged from the national interest in a dangerous world.
What a huge, huge
blunder. 🤦🏻♂️

A man of dignity in an age of indignity.
Thank you @Keir_Starmer for your service to our country.
You didn’t deserve this.

When the hype dies down, the problems in Number 10 remain the same for whoever holds the office. Keir Starmer is already governing through them. Stabilised the economy, invested in our public services, and he walks towards the problems, not away.

Crowning Burnham, if that is what happens, is a gross democratic violation that will not sit well with reasonably-minded voters.
To me, the whole artificial Burnham enablement stinks. A Manchester mayor is given a constructed by-election to enable a return to westminster and could be UK PM in a few months, in extremis, days.
Ridiculous, unserious panic politics
UK politics is increasingly driven by weaponised social media and a barely journalistic right wing press. This is the process that delivered Trump to the US and It seems to me that the UK is now starting down a potentially dark path.
What is so great about Burnham anyway? Can anyone say? What is so bad about Starmer with clown Johnson and incompetent hard-right wrecking ball Truss as recent comparisons. Can anyone say?
As one might put it "If Andy Burnham is the answer then what exactly was the question?"

Andy Burnham hasn’t been in parliament for years. No involvement in international politics, failed twice to lead the Party.
He is extremely out of his depth and under qualified to just walk into number 10.
What he and his associates are doing is reckless.

Listen to me very carefully, @AndyBurnhamGM
Everything you are doing right now is going to cost me, my neighbours, my friends, my family, and every single citizen in this country.
As a former top civil servant rightly warned, this manufactured leadership uncertainty is enormously disruptive and it costs us real money.
We are utterly fed up with paying more for food, for housing, and for our daily cost of living just because of characters like you.
Hope? You talk about hope and you framed the Makerfield election around giving us hope. Is this your idea of hope?
To shake the markets, to drive up prices, to make investors walk away, and to stop us from reducing the debt we carry because of politicians like you?
Is that what you call hope?
How many times is this that you are trying to become the leader of the Labour Party?
You chose to pull this stunt mid term, while this government holds a massive majority in parliament.
No reasonable politician who actually cares about their party or the country would ever do this.
Let me tell you, Andy, this selfish behaviour will bury you politically. You only stay relevant while the media pumps your narrative. What truly awaits you is Josh's team, who will gladly stab you in the back at the very first opportunity.
As for Jeremy Corbyn and the rest of the self-proclaimed left wing who cannot accept that they do not lead this party, they need to take responsibility. If you do not like this party, leave.
Go and build your own far-left party and implement your policies there.
My message to you, Andy, is that I will never stop lobbying against your hypocrisy.
Right now, you are just an ordinary MP who means absolutely nothing more. Even that seat was taken through a manufactured plot with Josh, triggering a by-election just to give you a stage for this theatrical performance.
I have only one single message for @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour:
Keep your word. You won the historic election with Keir Starmer as your leader, so stand your ground and get on with the job.

Labour loses my vote if they don’t stop pfaffing with the leadership nonsense. There’s work to do and right now @Keir_Starmer seems to be the only one who gets that.
Reluctant Commuter retweeted
.@Keir_Starmer, I understand that you may be considering your position this weekend. I would just like to say as a voter that your rightful position is as our PM and I hope that is how it will stay.

I waited 14yrs for a Labour government & these backbenchers have decided to throw it back in my face by calling on the only Labour leader to win an election since 2005 to resign. I’m disgusted with each and every single one of them including my own MP, @Tom4EWAS

Please repost if you agree that it would be extremely unwise for Labour to remove Keir Starmer right now

Quite… I will put it another way… to change leaders now is utter madness…
Reluctant Commuter retweeted
To my Labour colleagues we criticised the Tories for chaos and division and we cannot now inflict the same on the country ourselves.
People are angry and hurt, yes. But turning inwards helps nobody. We have a King’s Speech in two days.
Calm down, unite, and get on with the job.

This is all just so very tiring and exhausting. Why can we not talk more about content and policy in this country?

If people are calling for @Keir_Starmer to go, he must be doing a terrible job
And yet he isn't
Think of the mess Labour inherited
Look at the progress made in under 2 years
Look beyond the right-wing media campaign

25 years since the #Huddersfield Narrow Canal was restored & reopened after being allowed to become derelict.
Britain's canals and rivers are far too valuable to let this happen again.

Reform UK leader @Nigel_Farage says
“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”
RT if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR
