Burnham - I’ll give you £45 off your energy bills
The people - is that it?
Burnham - I’m scrapping the prisoner early release program
The people - it’s too late
Burnham - pubs can have a 20% business rate cut
The people - not enough
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE HAD SO MANY PMs

Wimbledon, the World Cup, and the Open all done and dusted. An ideal time for Test cricket to take place. But instead we block out a period of the summer for this ridiculous tournament.
Next Test starts on Aug 19, just before the new Premier League season begins. Well done, ECB.

Hats off to Keir Starmer, he can leave office with his head held high, unlike Boris Johnson who damaged UK with his BREXIT and cost us £10 Billion with wasted PPE contracts given to cronnies
Nathan Walker retweeted
It’s clear watching Starmer’s final PMQs that the Labour Party has just made an absolutely catastrophic error, blinded by panic, afflicted by petty opportunist factionalism, and entirely disengaged from the national interest in a dangerous world.
What a huge, huge
blunder. 🤦🏻♂️

EXCL: Keir Starmer has become first UK PM to be presented with Légion d’honneur by French president, in recognition of his work on security of Europe.
Emmanuel Macron awarded the historic honour to Starmer for his l'ship in setting up coalition of the willing at a critical moment for the continent in early 2025.
Only other British PM to receive a similar award – at a higher level, the Grand-Croix of the Légion d’honneur – was Winston Churchill in 1958 in recognition of his leadership during the second world war.

A full timeline of Nigel Farage’s grift and corruption
1. 2001–2014: Rent-free office scandal
Farage used office space rent-free, failed to declare the benefit properly, and was fined by the Electoral Commission.
2. 2015–2016:
Whilst serving as an MEP, Farage’s EFDD group spent around €1.8 million of EU taxpayer funds improperly on his “Say No to EU” Brexit campaign activity, including paying for rallies in the UK, venue hire, banners etc
3. 2016–2019: Farage’s Brexit movement was heavily funded by Arron Banks. Questions over the source of funding were referred by the Electoral Commission to the National Crime Agency.
4. 2017–2018:
The European Parliament docked Farage’s MEP salary to recover around €40,000 after concluding parliamentary funds had been improperly claimed for staff costs.
5. 2018:
A European political party closely linked to UKIP and Farage’s parliamentary group was ordered to repay €1.1 million after investigators found EU grants had been improperly used for national political campaigning, including campaigns in the UK directly supporting UKIP.
6. 2019:
Channel 4 News and The Guardian reported that Banks gave Farage benefits worth around £450,000, including accommodation, transport and overseas travel.
7. 2019:
The Electoral Commission warned the Brexit Party’s online donation system was at “high and ongoing risk” of accepting impermissible donations and required stronger controls.
8. 2019:
Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne donated around £6.4 million to the Brexit Party, beginning a financial relationship that continues today.
9. 2021 onwards:
Farage earns £400,000 a year from GB News whilst serving as the leader of a UK political party.
10. 2023:
Farage received around £1.5 million for appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
11. 2023:
Reform UK received £200,000 from First Corporate Consultants Ltd, linked to businessman Terence Mordaunt who lobbies against Climate Change policy and campaigned for Brexit.
12. 2024:
The Good Law Project alleged Farage failed to declare assistance from a US public relations firm during a US trip funded by Christopher Harborne.
13. 2024–2026:
Farage received a £5 million gift from Christopher Harborne around 1 month before entering Parliament. In 2026, Parliament’s standards watchdog opened an investigation into whether it should have been declared.
14. 2024–2026:
Since becoming MP for Clacton, Farage has declared more than £2 million in outside earnings from media, speaking engagements, commercial partnerships, including activity closely linked to lobbying for policies that benefit his private funders.
15. 2025:
A complaint alleged undeclared election spending during Farage’s 2024 campaign. Essex Police took no action because the statutory time limit had expired.
16. 2025–2026:
Farage failed to declare 17 separate payments, worth around £380,000, within the required parliamentary deadlines. The Standards Commissioner found the breaches were inadvertent.
17. 2026:
Farage declared £270,000 from Direct Bullion for promotional work while sitting in Parliament, equivalent to around £22,500 per hour.
18. 2026:
The Sunday Times alleged convicted former aide George Cottrell provided undeclared support including security, accommodation, staffing and media assistance.
A true public servant and man of the people.

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.

-Cut NHS waiting list by 490k
-550k children lifted out of poverty
-Net migration cut by 82%
-342k new homes built
-2,400 new police hired
-One of the fastest growing G7 economies
Mistakes were made, but whoever is the next PM has been left with a decent foundation.
This has to be the worst test match pitch in a long long time in England.
Terrible.

“People go to point scoring before they go to problem solving, it’s party first rather than place first”
Labour’s Andy Burnham says Westminster requires “fundamental change” and a “more long-term approach” to “restore the public’s trust”

Keir Starmer - The grieving family have asked us not to respond in the way the leader of reform has responded. They have lost their son in the most appalling circumstances. They make a simple pledge free m us not to exploit that..his response is to appeal for rage.

Before Nigel Farage and Reform UK tell you he is now Prime Minister, note there are 650 MPs in Parliament and 20,000 councillors in the UK.
Today’s results will likely end with Reform UK having 2500-3000/20,000 councillors and still just 8/650 MPs.
GBNews, the Express, Spectator and Mail will tell you he’s about to be handed the keys to No.10. But it’s local elections, they will all be disappointed.
