Wes Streeting’s WhatsApp messages to Peter Mandelson are a disgrace. He calls Israel a ‘rogue state’ and says we should punish it with ‘pariah’ status. And he reveals why: because he’s scared of the Muslim vote. Labour is so finished, says Brendan O’Neill https://t.co/gNBvnupLGd

Mounting questions for Sir Keir Starmer tonight regarding the peerage given to his former comms chief Matthew Doyle despite his association with a councillor charged with child sex offences On December 27 @Gabriel_Pogrund revealed that No 10 nominated Doyle for a peerage despite

🚨MORE IN COMMON POLLING ON MANDELSON SCANDAL: -More than half of the British public (55%) believe that Keir Starmer should resign as Prime Minister and Labour leader; only 24% believe he should remain in the role. -Two in five Labour voters say Starmer should resign, while 44%

I am sceptical about Wes Streeting's disclosure of Whatsapp messages between himself and Mandelson. Wes is a bright lad & so was aware that Mandelson's electronic devices had been seized by the police. He was simply getting ahead of the game. Being "noble" had nowt to do with it.

It’s striking how swiftly many politicians demanded Boris Johnson’s resignation over cake, yet have shown unwavering support for Keir Starmer after he appointed someone he knew had close ties to a convicted paedophile.

🚨 BREAKING: Britain’s head of Civil Service and Cabinet Secretary Chris Wormald is to resign soon This is the biggest resignation under Keir Starmer so far.

This meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party is definitely longer than normal. @GBNEWS

@LouiseMensch @elonmusk Somebody competent? Like who? Most of the Labour front bench should be stacking shelves at Lidl. Starmer going is step 1. He will be replaced by someone worse. That person will soon resign as well. That's step 2. Which leads to step 3: an early election at which the Labour

RT @christopherhope: LATEST I am standing outside the meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party in Parliament. The corridor outside is ramm…

Indeed, it is the bare minimum for any PM. Starmer needs to step up or step out.
