“ @Nigel_Farage is by far the most disliked of the party leaders!” Yep. I’ve long maintained he won’t be PM. He has his cult-like base & followers, who will support him no matter what, but how is he going to win over others? People see right through him & his lies! #BBCLauraK

The hypocrisy of these right-wing headbangers. Maybe now @RealDannyTommo will have some empathy for others who are forced to “relocate”. I won’t hold my breath. But there’s an irony here that they’re probably too blinkered to figure out.

So @Nigel_Farage has lost control of @ReformParty_UK. All discipline has gone and that never ends well. The longer he now stays, the worse it's going to get. Beautiful.

Now a frozen asset. Two senior allies of Nigel Farage - James Orr, the party’s head of policy and Dan Jukes, a close aide to Farage - have stepped down pending the outcome of an internal investigation

. @ZackPolanski is currently the most high-profile Green in the UK, with significant reach and visibility. Everyone knows how brilliant it would be if he won. But I think he needs to weigh up what a loss would mean. It wouldn’t just be a personal defeat. His opponents would seize on it and exploit a narrative (they construct) relentlessly. And they’d enjoy doing so.

James Foster: I think @UKLabour...

I think @UKLabour will hold Holborn and St Pancras. @AndrewFeinstein ate into @Keir_Starmer ’s vote share because he was, rightly, able to go for Sir Keir’s failings on a personal level. Depending who Labour’s candidate is next time, it’s unlikely that animosity will be there.

It’s disgusting how the @reformparty_uk mob are using Ann Widdecombe’s heinous murder as a shield. Total horseshit to suggest @Nigel_Farage , who spent weeks openly walking around, would be in danger at last nights election count. Where there would have been police and security.

It’s hysterical that @Nigel_Farage and @ReformParty_UK are running with the line that it will be “two fingers up to the establishment if Nigel wins”. 1. He was already the MP in Clacton he didn’t need to resign 2. He is PART OF “the establishment” 3. He’s fighting a bin

Why would @andyburnham invite @Nigel_Farage ? Nigel, you chose to resign as an MP to spend your summer fighting a man who wears a bin over his head.

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. 🤣 🤡

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. 🤡

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

“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.

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.
