Philip Proudfoot: Keir Starmer had one of the largest...

"Keir Starmer had one of the largest parliamentary majorities in modern British history, won largely because the Conservatives had collapsed. In just two years, he managed to burn through so much political capital that Labour had to bring in an external candidate, engineering an election to do so. Itself not surprising given Starmer spent years purging the party and tightly controlling candidate selections, leaving Parliament packed with MPs chosen for loyalty to his project-of-nothing, rather than any sign of intelligence, imagination, independence or political talent. The result is a governing party with little vision beyond misery. His premiership will be remembered (if at all) for two things: more economic immiseration at home, as living standards stagnated and public services continued to crumble, and unwavering support abroad for Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, despite mounting international condemnation. And remember, accounts on here called things like “LeninBalls6969” told you this would happen for nearly half-a-decade. And establishment journalists tried to convince you Starmer was not a hollow, politically talentless man. But a sensible grown-up. This humiliation is not just on Starmer, but every useless commentator and establishment journalist who banged the drum for two wasted years. "

David Poulden: Let them win. Let Andy Burnham...

Let them win. Let Andy Burnham take his little by-election. Let Labour keep tearing at what’s left of this country its history, its borders, its sense of itself. The British people won’t wake up while they still have something to lose. They’ll only stir once their identity has been stripped, their culture diluted, and their freedom reduced to a memory. And when that day finally comes… they won’t be looking for the ones who warned them. They’ll be looking for the ones who were ready.

Andrew Feinstein: Not sure Burnham offers real change...

Not sure Burnham offers real change - that will be determined by putting people before profits, welfare before warfare - but it likely marks the end of Keir Starmer, the most mendacious, unprincipled politician of recent times. Hopefully after getting booted out of Number 10, he will also leave Holborn & St. Pancras so we can elect an MP who represents us, not his billionaire & corporate donors, & Trump & Netanyahu

Bushra Shaikh: Non-White Brits are fully entitled...

Non-White Brits are fully entitled to criticise their country. Too many people on the right treat any criticism from ethnic minorities as evidence that we're anti-White or somehow don't belong. That attitude often stems from a deeper belief that ethnic minorities are guests in Britain rather than fellow citizens with an equal stake in the country's future. The reality is that most of us were born here. This is our home. We have every right to celebrate what Britain gets right and to speak out about what it gets wrong. Criticising your country isn't a sign that you don't belong; it's often a sign that you care enough to want it to do better.

The G7 Summit Shows Just How Much Britain’s Influence Has Declined

The G7 leaders’ summit in France was centred on European attempts to reach an agreement with US President Donald Trump on coordinating their approach, including in relation to the conflict in Ukraine. However, both the media and social media users pointed out just how much Britain’s position on the world stage appears to have weakened — and highlighted one of the key reasons why.
