Measured and correct. Andy Burnham is the right person to lead Labour now and I hope he will get to do so without an election. Solidarity not psychodrama.
Keir has given huge service to our country and I want to thank him for his leadership and dedication during such a challenging period.
His decision marks the beginning of a transition and it is important that this process is conducted in an orderly and responsible way. I will put myself forward as part of this process.
The country expects stability, seriousness and a continued focus on the issues that matter most and that is what it will get.
As we move forward, our priority must be to work together to get the country back to where we all want it to be. People want to see progress on economic growth, cost of living, public services, housing and opportunities for the next generation. Political change should never distract from the responsibility to improve people's lives.
The Labour movement has always been at its strongest when it looks forward with confidence and purpose. This is what we will do from here and we will make sure this transition is a positive process of renewal for our party and our country.

Who would be the best Prime Minister of the UK?
Don’t forget to retweet far and wide please.
Oh, I’ve left off Wes Streeting. He has no chance in any case, the wet wimp, but have included Darren Jones, a potential strong contender.
Please add an alternative if you wish.

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

Cost to the taxpayer for Keir Starmer’s use of a box at Arsenal: £0.
Cost to the taxpayer of Rishi Sunak using a private helicopter to get around: £40,000,000
Amazing what the right wing media decide to try and get people angry about.

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem.
It doesn't.
Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press.
Britain has a problem with racism.
Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem.
RT if you agree.

Share this if you’re voting Labour for our NHS tomorrow.
ALT Heading reads: 'Size of NHS waiting list'. Sub-heading reads: '% change in total NHS waiting list (rebased, Jan 2009 = 100%)'. Graph showing rise of NHS waiting lists under the Tories, the line drops significantly with Labour, and then goes back up again under the Tories. Sources: FT & John Burn-Murdoch. Text at the bottom of the graphic states: 'Change will only happen if you vote for it.'

I didn’t expect my mind to be changed after watching #ITVDebate: but it has been.
Before, I thought #Sunk was just a silly little twat.
But now I realise he’s a nasty, bullying, condescending, over-promoted, inept, rude, short-tempered, massive cūnt.

Both Fox and Wootton now saying they are leaving London after Khan's re-election.
Which is nice.

From 1989 to 2019, the richest 1% of families increased their share of total national wealth from 27% to 34%.
At the same time, families in the bottom 50% saw their share drop from 4% to 2%.
When I say trickle-down economics is a hoax, this is what I mean.

As the Tory media delight in the purposeless tax cuts tomorrow, spare a thought for the prison governors, head teachers, hospital managers, GPs, local governments and courts managing impossible conditions. Mourn the £40 bn of lost tax due to Brexit. And resolve: never again.

Rishi Sunak spoke yesterday of the need for the government, police and others to stand up against those who oppose British values. But, just what are those values? Based upon careful consideration of his governments, comments, conduct and legislation, it would seem that they include:
· Racism
· Discrimination, of all sorts
· A tolerance of :
o Misogyny
o Increasing inequality
o Climate change denial
o Wealth built upon slavery and colonial exploitation
o English nationalism to the exclusion of the Welsh, Scottish and people of Northern Ireland
o Economic exploitation
o Corruption
o Genocide
o Tax havens
o Hunting with dogs
· Undermining of the rule of law
· Vilification of public servants
· Vote rigging and gerrymandering
· A refusal to honour legal obligations
· A dislike of:
o Those who work for a living
o Social housing
o The young
o Those on low incomes
o Those with disabilities
o Single parents
o Any type of non-heterosexual orientation
· Intolerance of
o The SNP
o Plaid Cymru
o The Green Party
o Scotland
o Wales
o Northern Ireland
o Ireland
o The EU and all its members states
o State schools
o Libraries
o Theatre
o The arts
o The NHS
o Anyone claiming a benefit, including the state pension unless they also have a significant private pension as well, when doing so is just fine
· Those who are members of:
o The National Trust
o RSPB
o Oxfam
o XR
o A Wildlife Trust
o Any faith but Christianity and Judaism, but with an honourable pass being given for Hindus right now
In contrast, it would seem that supporting the following are all clear indications of holding an opinion contrary to British values:
· Free and fair elections
· Proportional representation
· An end to discrimination in the right to vote
· An end to discrimination, full stop
· Respect for human rights
· Respect for the rule of law
· Justice
· A right to economic and social equality
· Free speech
· The right to protest
· Action to tackle climate change
· Support for the Green New Deal
· Religious tolerance
· Social tolerance
· National self-determination
· The right to have enough to eat
· The right to a roof over your head
· Speed limits
· Peace
