Oh how kind of the patronising @AndyBurnhamGM to allow Keir Starmer 72 hours to resign! I’m afraid Mr Burnham you have a shock coming. KeirStarmer is going nowhere. Andy Burnham plans to give Starmer ‘space’ to resign after by-election, say allies ft.com/content/0881dc… via @FT

@Hepworthclare They said he couldn't rebuild Labour. He did. They said he couldn't win. He did. Now they say he should walk away. Keir Starmer's answer is simple: "I was elected to serve this country." That's leadership. #Labour #KeirStarmer #PoliticsUK

Keir Starmer has just sent a message - from the G7 - to Andy Burnham that he can surrender any hope that he will walk away from being prime minister in any kind of smooth or orderly transfer of power. These are his on-camera words “So very many times on my political journey people have said to me ‘it's not possible.’ They said it's not possible to turn the Labour Party around, it’s not possible to win an election, it’s not possible if you do win an election to invest in your public services and stabilise the economy. Wrong every time. And that's why I intend not to walk away from this, but to carry on with what I was elected to do, which is to serve this country and bring back the change that people desperately need in their lives.”

Absolute state of Alex Burghart, looked like he’d just fallen out of bed. One minute he’s saying the govt has taken too long (on social media ban) then he says it’s been rushed. #NeverVoteTory #bbcbreakfast

Sir, I do not understand your apparent ability to predict not only the outcome of a by election, but also the thoughts and feelings of Labour members and party activists across the country. You are a Conservative politician and, with respect, probably the last person Labour members would consult on the internal politics of the Labour Party. Rather than speculating about Labour, perhaps your time would be better spent reflecting on the record of your own party. The Conservative Party's years in government left behind a catalogue of failures, from economic instability and declining public services to the chaos of Brexit and a collapse in public trust. History will judge your leadership and the Conservative Party's record. If you wish to comment on politics, perhaps explain why your party has become increasingly irrelevant to so many voters and why it continues to struggle to reconnect with the country it once claimed to represent.

Been watching @France24_en switch back to @BBCBreakfast and caught the end of the weasel in Evian. Both @hzeffman and @ChrisMasonBBC have managed to get a plug in for Burnham. Endless promotion of the backstabber from our BBC. #bbcbreakfast

@Hepworthclare The only plot that @AndyBurnhamGM would seem to be following is one driven by ego and hubris. Well, we all know what follows hubris. In the meantime, @Keir_Starmer continues to do his job as PM with dignity and resilience.

I am struggling to see the logic here. Al Carns was only elected to Parliament in 2024 and has served as a minister for a relatively short period of time. Yet he is already making sweeping predictions about the break up of the United Kingdom, future elections and what may happen a decade from now. To be honest, it comes across more as political positioning than serious analysis. The country faces immediate challenges that require attention now: economic growth, public services, defence, investment and living standards. Voters are looking for solutions to today's problems, not speculation about hypothetical coalition governments and constitutional crises years into the future. The lesson from recent political history is actually quite simple. Parties succeed when they focus on governing competently and delivering for the electorate. They fail when they become consumed by personalities, factions and political theatre. Perhaps a little less crystal ball gazing and a little more focus on the job he was elected to do would be a good place to start.

Good by @leicesterliz despite Sophy Ridge @SkyNews trying to get a gotcha moment over children’s safety! and trying to get Liz to say “Keir changed his mind” when he hadn’t - as Liz said “open minded for evidence” Liz said “I hope Keir stays as PM” And so says all of us @LBC

For every person in the media who professes to want Keir to go, there are hundreds of thousands of members of the public who want to keep him. We will not be suckered into believing your lies!

Just had another Zoom with @Keir_Starmer. He’s in France for a G7 meeting but he made time to speak to us and answer questions. Like the last one, he was just divine. Thanks @annaturley for hosting. I see it was recorded. Hope that’s shared here and elsewhere. #TenYearKeir

When Trump’s presidency is over, it should be annulled. No library, no portrait, no titles, no honors, no Nobel prize. It’s a record of shame. Do you agree?
