Slashing benefits sounds great until you realise the welfare bill is 53% made up of pensioners. Farage for PM sounds amazing until you learn what it will be like. Send em all home wonderful until you realise that the NHS will lose Doctors and Nurses.

Re. The Restore Britain incident:
1. The man spilled coffee on himself.
2. There were legit Nazis in their ranks. We didn’t beat the Nazis in WWII by cuddling them.
3. I reserve my sympathy for those facing violent hate crimes because of Restore Britain’s racist rhetoric.

UK Govt is spinning that new Chancellor, John Healey is surprised by the state of the public accounts.
No, that’s not acceptable. He was in Cabinet for 2 years. That’s like being a company director of UK Govt.
A Board Director does not get to claim ignorance on the accounts. It’s not just all on the Finance Director.
If he is saying he is surprised, he is saying he has been negligent for two years.

The plan was always to grow the economy in order to fund better public services and Britain's military defence.
Brilliant to see the UK economy continue to grow faster than expectations and at the top of the G7 league table again.
Thank you Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer. 👏

Keir’s made a huge contribution to the Labour Party and to our country. He’s a man of great integrity who has devoted much of his career to public service.
He's only the fifth Labour leader to have won a general election, which allowed him to put in place changes that will have a real and lasting impact on people’s lives, from strengthening renters’ rights and employment rights to expanding breakfast club provision.
These are meaningful changes which will improve the lives of people in London and across the country for years to come.
I wish Keir and his family my very best wishes for the future.

Keir led Labour from its worst defeat since 1935 to a landslide victory in 2024.
His work as Prime Minister left the country in a better place than he found it.
Thank you, Keir, for all your service & all best wishes to you & your family for the future.

The Government that brought in free breakfast clubs, 30 hours free childcare from 9m, free school lunches, reduced cost of school uniforms and repaired school
Infrastructures left falling down by Tories and gave money for solar panels in schools was Keir Starmer’s Government

@JohnSlinger 26 June: "[Keir Starmer made Labour] fit to govern again, worked relentlessly to root out antisemitism, to rebuild trust and to win...a man of dignity and service who has given more to his country than most of us will ever know." 👏

Give me Starmer anytime. Serious hardworking, achieved or working on 70% of his manifesto. Burnham planned to oust Starmer over a year ago, so the way he achieved power doesn’t sit right with me. He is not giving Starmer any credit and is announcing Starmer’s policies as his own.
Bernard Williamson #FBPE#RejoinEU retweeted
No. Burnham.
Starmer delivered this.
Stop taking credit for what Starmer already did.
It’s embarrassing for you.

Today I’m announcing a major investment in our nuclear deterrent, supporting 22,000 apprenticeships.
Keeping this country safe is the first responsibility of any government - but security isn’t just about what we build, it’s about who builds it.
The submarines produced in Barrow protect us all, the jobs and apprenticeships they create change lives.
This is Britain - reindustrialised.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not a new “investment”. The £8.4 billion is “part of the already agreed Dreadnought programme”.
There is no new money here and no new jobs. This is a re-announcement.
“Already agreed”theguardian.com/politics/2026/…
Page 29 lists existing spending far higher than 8.4 billion for the programme.

..For me, the way it's been achieved sets it apart.
Plotting and conniving for almost our entire time in office. A manufactured by election. Broken commitments. Veiled threats. Members ignored. No democracy. Smugness in victory. These are not Labour values.
