Pity @mrjamesob.bsky.social works for a complicit organisation. He's a lonely voice in the sea of right wing presenters, a token gesture.

Natalie Fleet is a survivor of grooming. I feel this is important to understand whilst watching this.
“Kemi Badenoch is using victims of grooming as a human shield to throw rocks”.
Natalie Fleet questions Badenoch’s recent interest on the issue of women’s safety when it comes to Starmer, pointing to her time as women’s minister: “She didn’t care about grooming”.

Ratcliffe is an immigrant in Monaco, where immigrants have properly taken over. Maybe being rich makes him think its different for him. Massive Hypocrite.

Andy Burnham backs Starmer's leadership, saying he wants "unity & stability" in Labour party.
Greater Manchester mayor adds govt "has my support" as it takes on threat of populist right. "I do feel this is a crucial moment. It is absolutely right that people give the govt stability in this moment”

There seems to be almost an addiction to political chaos in the media. A lust for drama and headlines. Britain needs stability. There's no doubt that Starmer's government has made mistakes, but the answer is for them to improve, not throw the country into turmoil.

The Prime Minister has my full support.
Bar 1945, this is the most difficult inheritance a Labour government has ever faced.
The worst thing we can do is turn inward and away from the country.
We need to unite, talk about the big issues and focus on serving the people who elected us.

One head is enough. Appointing Mandelson knowing of his connections to Epstein is arguably a mistake - Morgan McSweeney has taken responsibility but the media in a feeding frenzy press for more. That’s wrong.

Labour Governments aren’t about self-service, they’re about public service — and this PM embodies public service.
Thats why he’s got a 5-year mandate and my full support. Let’s get on with the job.

Be aware. Huge amounts of money are being spent to try to attack Sir Keir Starmer and to bring him down in order to destabilise the UK and let in the awful Farage. THINK when you see some of the stuff going on. Oh, and DON'T TRUST the BBC. It has been fatally suborned now.

Looking at all the media attacks Keir Starmer is getting over the Epstein files when he isn't mentioned, you wonder what would they would do to a politician who is mentioned in them - like Farage for instance.
The answer appears to be nothing.

A brilliant day in Gorton & Denton today, and a lovely welcome, both on the doorstep and from our Labour colleagues. I was especially impressed by the chap who turned up with a box of samosas in his boot to help keep us going!

Let’s not forget how this happened .
Time for another reminder:
Plan 2 Student Loans were created *by the Tories*.
Interest rates, payback levels & terms before cancellation were set *by the Tories*.
Students won't be affected by Labour's freezing of level for *2 more years*, then will only pay *£6.50/month extra*.

The unparalleled orgy of slurs & innuendo against the PM, by the right-wing media, is a sign that they want him out, because they fear him. A PM of 18 months experience, will not be the same PM in 4 years time. They want someone from the left, who they can grind down. We should support the PM.

Huge news for families in Hodge Hill and Solihull North
The two-child benefit limit is being scrapped. That's 450,000 children lifted out of poverty by 2029.
For the 7th most deprived constituency in Britain, this investment in our children's futures is essential.
