Dominic Bradbury: I don't know what's more shocking…
I don't know what's more shocking, the fact Starmer is still in a job this morning or that not one single Labour MP has the moral fibre or backbone to stand up and start the process to remove him. Pathetic. Just like we always knew Labour would be in Government.
David Poulden: Comrade @Keir_Starmer lectures us about stopping…
Comrade @Keir_Starmer lectures us about stopping 'far-right agitators' from speaking at a march, while Islamic hate preachers openly call for death to Jews and gays in our mosques without a whisper from him. He lets thousands pour in on boats with zero checks, but bans people like @JoeyMannarino , @ValentinaForUSA and @EvaVlaar for having the wrong opinion. This isn't about stopping hate, it's about silencing anyone who doesn't fit his narrative. Free speech in the UK is dead...
David Frost: Labour also said the numbers…
Labour also said the numbers would be capped. The EU has consistently resisted. Expect Starmer's call for more "ambition" to mean capitulation on that too.
Liz Webster: INCREDIBLE!!! Hard man Brexit @SteveBakerFRSA exposes…
😮 INCREDIBLE!!! Hard man Brexit @SteveBakerFRSA exposes the truth about Starmer’s rejoin deception: “Honestly, it’s such nonsense because he’s not changing his red lines. Even if you were on his side, you’d have to admit that’s never going to work. The EU won’t give us the access we want to the single market without free movement, and Starmer isn’t going to commit to free movement. This is the problem. People keep failing to understand it’s just basic incompetence. What is the EU about? It’s about political integration, free movement of people, and a single currency. Keeping the pound was always an exemption. Yet our PMs keep negotiating with the EU as if it were something completely different. The stupidity of this speech …… saying Britain will be ‘at the heart of Europe’ but not actually at the heart of Europe… The EU will hear it and they will guffaw at him straight out of the blocks.”
Howard Beckett: Starmer thought the defence to promoting friends of pedophiles…
Starmer thought the defence to promoting friends of pedophiles to 🇬🇧 Ambassador to 🇺🇸 & to the ‘House of Lords’ was: “I kicked my former leader [Jeremy Corbyn] out of my party” Starmer is not a ‘decent man’ His values are plain warped.
Carl Benjamin: I recall ages ago saying that Starmer…
I recall ages ago saying that Starmer wouldn't see out the full term, and that it would end with everyone looking at him and asking why he was still there. Looks like that time is fast approaching, but my goodness how I hope I am wrong!
Alex Wickham: *GILTS EXTEND DECLINES…
*GILTS EXTEND DECLINES; UK 10-YEAR YIELD RISES 9BPS TO 5% (Bloomberg) -- UK government bonds slid as calls grew for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to step aside following his party’s large losses in local elections last week. Yields on 30-year gilts, which are sensitive to political and fiscal risks, rose almost 10 basis points to 5.68%. For bond investors, the main concern is that a new leader could shift Labour to the left and hike spending to win back disaffected voters.
Felix Rex: There are no men left in Ukraine…
There are no men left in Ukraine. They are fighting to defend a nation that will be made up with the remnants of their women and African/Islamic/Indian men now pouring in. Zelensky can flee to Israel, but this is nothing short of a civilization catastrophe that did not need to happen had he not been "placed" in his position. Weep for Ukraine.Adam Brooks: KEIR STARMER claims that he’s steadied…
KEIR STARMER claims that he’s steadied the economy!!? Tell that to the 150,000 hospitality staff that lost jobs due to two punishing budgets. Unemployment higher. Borrowing costs higher. Inflation higher. Small businesses closing at record rates. IDIOT
Philip Proudfoot: Living in Britain is watching the media…
Living in Britain is watching the media smear and vilify good people who want to make positive change, while they celebrate and platform far right goons, funded and backed by almost comically evil tech multimillionaires. It does make you feel a little mad.
Pat Condell: Starmer is being slow handclapped…
Starmer is being slow handclapped out of Downing Street, but he refuses to hear it. He seems determined to humiliate himself even further by being forcibly removed. How did such a man, with zero character and consistently wrong judgement, ever become prime minister?
Diane Abbott: Any change of leader of the Labour party...
Any change of leader of the Labour party needs to be part of a complete change of direction. It is delusional to believe a political crisis is a personnel issue. Keir Starmer's fate is out of his own handsLiz Webster: Starmer and Streeting’s technofeudalism has no limits…
‼️ Starmer and Streeting’s technofeudalism has no limits. The audacity is staggering. NHS England has quietly granted Palantir contractors unlimited access to identifiable patient data on its £330 million Federated Data Platform. An internal briefing warned of the “risk of loss of public confidence” but approved it anyway because repeated checks were “too inconvenient”. This is a dangerous surrender of our most sensitive health data to a controversial US tech giant. #NHS #Palantir #DataSurrender
Ben Judah: @SadiqKhan on how and why Rejoin…
. @SadiqKhan on how and why Rejoin: “Inward investment is lower than it would be, trade is lower than it would be. In London our economy is about £30bn smaller than it would otherwise be, the average Londoner is about £3,400 poorer because of Brexit.”
Andrew Bridgen: A parody of the current state of the war…
A parody of the current state of the war in Ukraine ? Starmer is looking to sign the UK into the EU €80bn ‘loan’ to keep the war going. Meanwhile the deaths continue and we keep poking the bear. Who thinks we will ever see the ‘loan’ repaid given the levels of corruption ?
Clr Brian Silvester: Illegals are coming from a safe country…
Illegals are coming from a safe country, France, so are not refugees.......they are economic migrants, pure and simple. Safety turn the boats around and take back to French waters. Why detain & deport? Shouldn't be allowed into UK at all.
Edwin Hayward: Two futures…
Two futures: 1) Starmer surrenders to the inevitable and resigns, likely with a brief transition period. 2) He hangs on. Labour disintegrates into vicious infighting, with dirty dossiers and scurrilous accusations flying, hurting everyone involved. Then Starmer surrenders etc.Adam Brooks: I live in a country that rewards…
I live in a country that rewards those that break in illegally, with accommodation, free food,free healthcare, legal advice & no utility bills. A country that gives extra benefits to men with more than one wife. A country that says asylum seeker rights trumps local people. 🇬🇧Diane Abbott: Gains for the right and the far right...
Gains for the right and the far right are frequently followed by an upsurge in racist abuse and attacks. Unfortunately, people's fears are based on experience. Minority groups brace for surge in racism after Reform election gainsLiz Webster: @PickardJE of @FT…
🚨 @PickardJE of @FT gets to the heart of Starmer’s Brexit deceit: “Are you ruling out single market or customs union membership at the next election? Because without either, our economy is very much not at the heart of Europe.” Starmer’s answer: more vague waffle about a “big leap forward” at the summit, turning our back on past arguments, and “looking forward together.” You can’t be meaningfully “at the heart of Europe” while refusing the economic structures that define that relationship.
Starmer’s Priorities: Illegal Migrants Entertained at the Taxpayer’s Expense
The British government is set to spend £112 million running two accommodation centres for illegal migrants. By 2030, the total cost is projected to reach £1.3 billion. Unsurprisingly, public anger is mounting across social media, with many asking why British taxpayers are expected to fund the upkeep of people who entered the country illegally.
Ayesha Ijaz Khan: Here’s the deal…
Here’s the deal: Israel wants war. Pakistan wants peace. Israel starts to malign Pakistan falsely. First, Netanyahu claims on 60 Minutes that Pakistani bots use social media to campaign against Israel. Then CBS News, of Bari Weiss fame, claims Pakistan let Iran park jets at Nur Khan — highly unlikely Pakistan would do that.Alex Wickham: Team Miliband is not denying...
Team Miliband is not denying that he told Starmer to set a timetable for his departure as revealed by @Steven_Swinford / Times team They say they don’t “accept” the Times’ account — a non-denial And when asked directly they refuse to deny Miliband suggested Starmer should goStarmergeddon – Labour’s New Political Reality
The upcoming May local elections are widely expected to deliver a devastating blow to the Labour Party and Prime Minister Keir Starmer — a view shared by the overwhelming majority of political analysts. Social media, meanwhile, is awash with mockery: in less than two years, Starmer has managed to turn his own party into a national punchline.
Kathy Gyngell: Obama tried diplomacy. Biden tried...
Obama tried diplomacy. Biden tried diplomacy. Both failed! #Trump tried Project Freedom, and suddenly Iran 'wants to talk'. The lesson is brutal for anti Trump media (who will never admit it): the mullahs only respect force. http://conservativewoman.co.uk/project-freedom-has-forced-iran-to-negotiate-peace/
Dale Vince: The key part of this...
The key part of this story is in the second line -”according to lobbyists”. Only last summer the government announced £500m for this sector, they want more. £20 billion of private money is “desperate” to invest they say - what’s stopping them? They want more public money. Will 20k jobs really be lost by 2030 or is the story here that 20k jobs could be created. The main issue with Hydrogen is how un economic it is to make, that’s why it’s not taken off in any major way anywhere in the world yet. That’s if you make ‘green hydrogen’ as opposed ‘brown’ which comes from fossil fuels. The Hydrogen Economy was a thing of great hype 10 years ago. It might take another 10 to really get going. We don't need to rush to be ""world leaders”, better technology is coming, the economics will get much better - there’s no need to waste more money on this right now. https://thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/ed-miliband-energy-department-delay-hydrogen-strategy-xvn8zkq7qDavid Frost: Forget it, Rejoiners.

""Forget it, Rejoiners. The EU will never offer terms that Britain can accept."" While we are waiting for the local election results, here are my thoughts on the Polish Foreign Minister's latest messaging on Brexit. My @Telegraph column tonight. 👇

This is just some of the heartbreaking devastation in Iran by U.S and Israel missiles on civilian residential homes. Hundreds killed, thousands displaced. Now I know why Bibi Netanyahu doesn't let journalists into Gaza.
