I support Sir Keir Starmer.
He is our PM and must remain as PM.
This speculation about his future needs to stop.
The media have it in for him and he is actually doing a bloody good job.

Yesterday, the Linnean Library was graced with a group of keen knitters, gathered for an afternoon to learn how to #knit like a Victorian
Based on knitting patterns held in the Linnean Society archive belonging to Lady Pleasance Smith, attendees had the chance to create some #nature based patterns🍁

Behind Keir Starmer lies 14 years of Tory garbage leadership, potentially ahead of him stands what? Popularists with hollow one liners? KS is exactly what this country needs right now to manage us slowly out of the Tory mess, not some smooth talking entertainer, from any party.

Another very pertinent fact that I have not seen mentioned ANYWHERE: In 14 years of Tory rule we had 14 Prisons Ministers - six in a single year, at one point - and a total of 11 Justice Secretaries, including Grayling, Raab, and Truss. In 13 years of Labour it was three: Irvine, Falconer, Straw. 🤔

Motorways can be rather ugly but the trees along the M1 in Yorkshire are beautiful just now - so many shades of gold red and green.

This thread nails, very simply, what is happening now. When I voted Labour I knew they could sort out the colossal mess the Tories left the country in. I didn’t for one minute think it would happen within a few months. Hold your nerve people. The rebuild has started.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

There is no 'civil war' about to break out in Britain. Unless you count the one that the extreme right has been desperately trying to foment since Labour took power. We're being bamboozled big style by Farage, Tommy Robinson, Elon Musk & Trump.

Robinson and Farage’s ‘civil war’ narrative is warping voters’ minds. How is any government supposed to counter it? | John Harris
Whatever the reality of Britain today, our social media feeds are full of anger, violence and disorder – and that’s the reality politicians must confront, says Guardian columnist John Harris

UK politics discourse is 90% "who will end up in which post/ who hates who/ how will this play with voters/ how is the narrative shifting", and maximum 10% actual substance on policy.
As in, does this make sense, not will it be popular.

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

This week Nigel Farage went to America to badmouth Britain, even comparing our country to North Korea.
He’d rather cosy up to his MAGA buddy mates than fix problems here at home.
