If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.
Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.
Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.
Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:
• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.
• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.
• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.
• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.
• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.
• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.
• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.
• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.
• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.
• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.
• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.
• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.
• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.
• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.
• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.
• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.
• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.
• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.
• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.
• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.
• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.
• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.
• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.
• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.
People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.
@seftoncouncil still no Green bin collection after 5 days and your website won't let me report it as it's over 3 working days since the expected collection?! 🤷
Embarrassing, nonstop, sycophantic English nonsense on @bbc5live breakfast this morning. @rachelburden & @rickedwards1 acting like England have won the World Cup, not scraped past an aging Croatia.
@emancipatedAfro@adamleitchsport@SouthamptonFC "Clear the decks" ? 🤣 Eckert will be snapped up before you can even say "Wembley". After what he did since Christmas, you deserve all you get if you sack him.
@zaarito@Peston You do realise he doesn't have to give up the Mayoralty until after the outcome of the by-election, right? So if he doesn't become Mp, he keeps his Mayoral role.
@WeAreWST So in response, he spent the rest of the night playing on in every frame when he couldn't win (72 & 45 behind). Utter dirge last night; dreadful to watch 🙄 🥱 😴
@24Lufc If you have 8+ games, your ballot comes first. Plus, the allocation for anyone with 8+ games will be more than the allocation for general members. So, no, it isn't.
@mickee_kay@_JIBBER_JABBER_ "a 12lb rise in the weights and a lack of strong recent performances". I think it's pretty obvious why he's against, "tbh"...
I find it mind-boggling that Keir Starmer is seen as just as unpopular as Liz Truss. I'm no fan of him particularly, but being a bit boring is nowhere near as being as absolutely batshit as Truss was.
Marcelo Bielsa back in England. El Loco, cult hero, dream-maker, player-whisperer, inspirational manager. Bielsa teams always worth watching. Flying visit, his Uruguay side playing England at Wembley on Friday. Wish Bielsa was back for good.
