The world is teetering on the brink. Putin is muttering about invading a few NATO countries. Trump is threatening to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age before moving on to Cuba. And Burnham has appointed that treacherous, useless little shitweasel Streeting Defense Minister? Jesus wept. #WesStreeting

It takes a long time to undo 14 years of Tory fuckery. Anyone who thinks it can be done overnight needs to grow up and get over themselves. If Burnham becomes PM, the right-wing media will back calls for a GE. A Burnham government will lose. Reform will win. The UK is full of entitled morons.

Curious as to how many people who are okay with a possible leadership change in the Labour party, moaned about all the times the Tories did the same? If you complained about that, and are fine with Burnham's antics, you may want to check your hypocrisy.

Big difference between peaceful protests and trashing a factory and fracturing a police officer's spine with a bat. Palestine Action is not a protest group, because criminal damage and assault isn't a protest. Get over yourselves and do better.

Social media companies could do more to help. Parents can too. Does your kid really need that smart phone? Surely a normal cell phone will do. A few years ago you'd see kids talking to each other while waiting for the school bus. Now they're all staring at their phones. At least Starmer is trying.
