It's so one sided

Little to no mention of the good stuff the government has been doing, just a constant rant about why he thinks Starmer is terrible.

We don't need a showman for a PM. We need someone who gets things done.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I usually really enjoy your show.

But these last week or so you have lost the plot and have joined the crazy parts of the media who are obsessed with bringing Labour down.

You are doing Reform's work for them (and by association, the work of Russia).

Shameful.

It shouldn't need a campaign. Lisa Nandy has the power to act at the prime culprit, the BBC, by removing the politically appointed board member Robbie Gibb.
He wields a disproportionate amount of influence at the "impartial" national broadcaster. He could be taken off the board, yet LN does nothing.

Get the lot of them out from the media!

Labour needs to draw a line under the fallout from the #Mandelson scandal and focus on winning the Gorton and Denton byelection - NB Farage gets a lot more mentions than Keir Starmer in the #EpsteinFiles!

An important test for the authorities responsible for policing our electoral law.

Well done to excellent local journalism from @manchestermill.bsky.social for breaking this story. ๐Ÿ‘

I could have predicted Johnson & Truss going - they were so poor at the job and totally unsuitable - Starmer completely different scenario - it'll be a tragedy for UK if he goes

There has been a shift from โ€˜reportingโ€™ of the news to โ€˜creatingโ€™ it. I can hardly bare to watch. Starmer needs a full term to make a difference and have a chance of stopping R*form at the next GE.

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

Unlike Trump, Farage does not have executive power. He cannot wield the same bully pulpit. Instead, he becomes the junior partner to voters' clearest symbol of instability and is left stranded. Farage cannot defend the indefensible, but nor can he
convincingly break with a figure he has spent years praising.

The BBC have wheeled out Diane Abbot, the worlds leading โ€œJeremyyyyyyyyyโ€ fan to spout absolute bollox about Labour again.

Wanking on about โ€œtapping phonesโ€ as her proof that Starmer knew Mandelson sold state secrets.

What a shit show.

Diane seems to still think they won the election under Corbyn.

Going to be fun watching the cranks meltdown today as Starmer doesnโ€™t resign.

Diane (Jeremy is Jesus you know) Abbot currently on BBC talking the most incredible bullshit as their spiritual leader.

For a party that opportunistically points fingers at every misstep that the Labour, and formerly Conservative, government makes and promises that only they can do better, ReformUK donโ€™t half make a lot of fuck-ups.

Am I the only person thatโ€™s absolutely sick to death of the incessant โ€œthis must be the end of Starmerโ€ narrative being rammed down our throats?

Itโ€™s been constant almost since the GE, no matter how trivial the issue. And, if he does go, the next Labour PM will face exactly the same. Itโ€™s mental.

I despise this woman from the depths of my soul. Never, in all the years of Tory misconduct and corruption did she ever say a word against them yet sheโ€™s been hounding Starmer since day one. Sheโ€™s the epitome of disgusting journalism ๐Ÿคฌ

Carrying on improving the country as they were elected to do even though it seems some of the public are being proper assholes calling for Starmer,a completely innocent man in all regards,to resign.
And replaced by who?
No one can touch him as PM.
Lots of future contenders,none ready in my opinion.
