James Foster: What…

What @Nigel_Farage , @RobertJenrick , @ZiaYusufUK , @TiceRichard et al are showing is that they are extremists. We must never - NEVER - allow them anywhere near the levers of power. They are toxic trash. (NB. That doesn’t mean I endorse Starmer!!!)

James Foster: What…

James Foster: What’s funny about this…

What’s funny about this is that’s he’s clearly not been good for Keir Starmer but @Keir_Starmer is so politically naive and weak that he’s stuck.

James Foster: At this rate, I think it’s more likely…

At this rate, I think it’s more likely there’s another resignation before @Keir_Starmer replaces @JohnHealey_MP ! Why would anybody want that job now, knowing Sir Keir is finished and will be out with the lectern announcing his resignation in a few weeks.

James Foster: You know what…

You know what: I think he can. There will be so many coming out of the woodwork that unless they’re united behind a single successor, there’s a world @Keir_Starmer stays. It’s going to be a disaster at the next election — and the Labour Party are doing what the Tories did.

James Foster: If @Keir_Starmer had any political nous…

If @Keir_Starmer had any political nous about him, he’d have a reshuffle (bye @wesstreeting ) and bring in people from across the party — including from the @socialistcam and the likes of @RLong_Bailey and @DawnButlerBrent . Put out some fires. Instead he lets them all rage on.

James Foster: Just embarrassing…

Just embarrassing. One almost feels sorry for her. Of course @ZackPolanski shouldn’t be “disqualified” 🤦‍♂️ @Keir_Starmer should, though, for his lies & betrayals; for appointing Mandelson; & for saying Israel had the right to cut off water & energy etc

James Foster: They’re already in an “electoral death spiral”...

They’re already in an “electoral death spiral” and it’s being led by @Keir_Starmer . You’d may wish to continue being his chief fluffer, @MatthewStadlen , but @UKLabour MPs (having seen the disaster in May) will be concerned for their seats.

James Foster: They’ve finally twigged…

They’ve finally twigged: "Labour can’t make the mistakes the Democrats made. Biden left it too late to go and helped usher in Trump. Keir is helping usher in Farage."

James Foster: He shouldn’t have been appointed…

“He shouldn’t have been appointed,” says @Ed_Miliband . That’s clear enough. We all knew that. What isn’t clear is why it took you so long to say it or why none had the courage to say, “nah, I’m out” and resign. Only now @Keir_Starmer is toast are you starting to turn.

James Foster: People can see Mandelson was dodgy…

“People can see Mandelson was dodgy and the victims are owed a full inquiry.” Yet @Keir_Starmer appointed him anyway and before the vetting had been completed. You look like the embarrassing sycophant you are, @paulmasonnews , and it’s disgraceful to use concern for victims now.

James Foster: This is about the judgment of @Keir_Starmer…

This is about the judgment of @Keir_Starmer . He promised change — competence, stability, and an end to the chaos. We were told he was forensic and across the detail. The Mandelson affair shows us he’s as bad as the rest — in some cases worse — and he needs to go.

20, April

James Foster: Exactly. @Keir_Starmer…

Exactly. @Keir_Starmer couldn’t be bothered to wait for the vetting because he wanted Peter Mandelson. Terrible way to go about things but even worse given you’re the former DPP. He needs to stop blaming other people and he needs to stop taking people for fools.

James Foster: . @Keir_Starmer wasn’t interested…

. @Keir_Starmer wasn’t interested in the vetting because he expected it to go in his favour. That’s why he appointed Mandelson before the vetting was completed — and why he had no concerns. Because he wanted it on his terms. That’s the problem. Now, it’s all falling apart.
