James Foster: Ronnie Campbell, Labour MP for...

Ronnie Campbell, Labour MP for Blyth Valley, said: 'James Purnell makes me ashamed to be a member of the Labour Party. It is a disgrace the way he is hitting the poor. Not even the Tories would try to do this.'

James Foster: The only competition he faces...

The only competition he faces, really, is a man who wears a bin over his head. Extraordinary that a man who believes he’s so popular has to be campaigning this hard to keep a seat he didn’t have to resign from and trigger a by-election. 🤣 🤡

James Foster: @Nigel_Farage has never been...

. @Nigel_Farage has never been “a man of the people”. He’s a career politician who has been successful in saying the right thing at the right time. But it seems it’s all starting to fall apart. We can but hope! #BBCLauraK

Why do #Argentina have to be so dirty though? Come on, England. Go out there like you’ve been given a shot of something and send them packing. #ENGARG

Reiterated once again this morning by the police: NO suggestion Ann Widdecombe’s murder is politically motivated. Certain individuals should stop trying to make it so for their own gain.

James Foster: Why does @Nigel_Farage need help fighting Count Binface in Clacton...

Why does @Nigel_Farage need help fighting Count Binface in Clacton? @ReformParty_UK supporters keep telling us he’s hugely popular and heading for a landslide. With Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems not standing, it should be a walk in the park. So why are Reform pulling activists away from the Greater Manchester mayoral election to campaign for him? 🤣😬🤦

@ReformParty_UK are going to pay for @Nigel_Farage to fight @CountBinface in the upcoming Clacton by-election. Looks like they’re going to be the only two candidates. So Farage resigned as an MP so he could fight to win the same seat again… off of Binface. 🤡

@Keir_Starmer did not save the Labour Party. Because it didn’t need saving. Why does this man have to lie so much? Why don’t people call him out?

James Foster: Different imagery...

Different imagery, same script: @Keir_Starmer: “No more sticking plaster politics”. @andyburnham: the time has come for a circuit breaker…!” BOTH are just rhetorical ways of saying the current approach has run out of road. Diagnosis isn’t a plan. Where’s the how?

James Foster: The problem you’ve got...

The problem you’ve got, @andyburnham , is that people are struggling right now. They don’t have the luxury of waiting 10yrs. If you fail to deliver, you’ll be turfed out like the others (like you’ve done to @Keir_Starmer ). People are tired - and desperate and impatient for change.

"It’s so funny that, at his final hour, he’ll deliver a u-turn. It’s also funny he didn’t think they’d turn on him. Bye, @Keir_Starmer !!"

What’s funny about this is that’s he’s clearly not been good for Keir Starmer but @Keir_Starmer is so politically naive and weak that he’s stuck.

At this rate, I think it’s more likely there’s another resignation before @Keir_Starmer replaces @JohnHealey_MP ! Why would anybody want that job now, knowing Sir Keir is finished and will be out with the lectern announcing his resignation in a few weeks.

James Foster: You know what…

You know what: I think he can. There will be so many coming out of the woodwork that unless they’re united behind a single successor, there’s a world @Keir_Starmer stays. It’s going to be a disaster at the next election — and the Labour Party are doing what the Tories did.

James Foster: What…

What @Nigel_Farage , @RobertJenrick , @ZiaYusufUK , @TiceRichard et al are showing is that they are extremists. We must never - NEVER - allow them anywhere near the levers of power. They are toxic trash. (NB. That doesn’t mean I endorse Starmer!!!)

James Foster: If @Keir_Starmer had any political nous…

If @Keir_Starmer had any political nous about him, he’d have a reshuffle (bye @wesstreeting ) and bring in people from across the party — including from the @socialistcam and the likes of @RLong_Bailey and @DawnButlerBrent . Put out some fires. Instead he lets them all rage on.

Just embarrassing. One almost feels sorry for her. Of course @ZackPolanski shouldn’t be “disqualified” 🤦‍♂️ @Keir_Starmer should, though, for his lies & betrayals; for appointing Mandelson; & for saying Israel had the right to cut off water & energy etc

They’re already in an “electoral death spiral” and it’s being led by @Keir_Starmer . You’d may wish to continue being his chief fluffer, @MatthewStadlen , but @UKLabour MPs (having seen the disaster in May) will be concerned for their seats.

They’ve finally twigged: "Labour can’t make the mistakes the Democrats made. Biden left it too late to go and helped usher in Trump. Keir is helping usher in Farage."

James Foster: He shouldn’t have been appointed…

“He shouldn’t have been appointed,” says @Ed_Miliband . That’s clear enough. We all knew that. What isn’t clear is why it took you so long to say it or why none had the courage to say, “nah, I’m out” and resign. Only now @Keir_Starmer is toast are you starting to turn.

James Foster: People can see Mandelson was dodgy…

“People can see Mandelson was dodgy and the victims are owed a full inquiry.” Yet @Keir_Starmer appointed him anyway and before the vetting had been completed. You look like the embarrassing sycophant you are, @paulmasonnews , and it’s disgraceful to use concern for victims now.

James Foster: This is about the judgment of @Keir_Starmer…

This is about the judgment of @Keir_Starmer . He promised change — competence, stability, and an end to the chaos. We were told he was forensic and across the detail. The Mandelson affair shows us he’s as bad as the rest — in some cases worse — and he needs to go.

James Foster

James Foster: Exactly. @Keir_Starmer…

Exactly. @Keir_Starmer couldn’t be bothered to wait for the vetting because he wanted Peter Mandelson. Terrible way to go about things but even worse given you’re the former DPP. He needs to stop blaming other people and he needs to stop taking people for fools.

James Foster: . @Keir_Starmer wasn’t interested…

. @Keir_Starmer wasn’t interested in the vetting because he expected it to go in his favour. That’s why he appointed Mandelson before the vetting was completed — and why he had no concerns. Because he wanted it on his terms. That’s the problem. Now, it’s all falling apart.
