🚨 NEW: Matthew Doyle says he never asked for a job in the Foreign Office
“I have never sought any head of mission [or] ambassador posting. I was never aware of anyone speaking to the FCDO about such a role for me. My desire after leaving No 10 was to stay in UK politics”

He did not do his job
I'm used to Labour getting a raw deal from the media. I expect it.
But what's happening to Starmer is different level. It's more intense, more sustained and more deliberate. Any excuse large or small. Wave after wave.
If they can't pin him with something they want him to quit out of exhaustion.
It's the sheer vitriol and visceral hatred that I don't understand. It feels engineered. Sure he's made mistakes and I disagree with many of the policies but I believe he's done well on the international stage, particularly keeping us out of Trump's Iran war.
No you are not. The PM
was very clear
FTLOG Sir, having sat through this whole debacle this afternoon, the only one who have let constituents down today are the oposition and your good self. This was a pointless debate taking time away from our government governing and focusing on things that really matter to us 😏
The whole mess we are in now started with the libdems cosying up to the tories 16 years ago just to taste some power. Stop talking shit. He did stand firm with our allies and continues to do so. U r a w⚓️ m8
If Lib Dems hadn’t empowered Conservatives to Government in 2010 we wouldn’t have had a ruinous Brexit, would still be in the EU and therefore allied with the EU nations against Trump, but yeah Starmer🤷♀️
Today, Labour has set out a series of new measures to deliver energy security and sovereignty for the UK in response to the instability in the Middle East👇🏻

Labour's four-step plan to tackle knife crime will halve knife crime in a decade.
Through our steps: Support, stop, police, end - together we can do this.
He actually hasn’t but keep trying
The right wing thank you for your efforts
Perhaps you should apologise for your appalling slur
Our UK Labour Government is fixing the energy market to deliver lower bills and long-term security for families across #Wales 🏴
Today, we are breaking the link between gas and electricity prices, ensuring global gas spikes will no longer dictate the bills you pay.
Just stop with this nonsense.
RIP off Britain
Tax the Rich
Get Brexit done
Easy isn’t it ?
This is pitiful stuff from the BBC, once a news reporting organisation with an impeccable reputation. Until Nandy grows a backbone and sacks Gibb, the BBC will retain its present reputation as being purely a mouthpiece for the Tories and the Reform Ltd company. 8/8
to a version of the Foreign Affairs Committee as described by Zeffman in some universe but it sure wasn't this one. I watched and recorded the entire session and Zeffman's column may as well have been written by BadEnoch such was its desperate bias. 2/8

Is Henry Zeffman, the chief political correspondent of the BBC Politics team, in the pay of the Tory party or is he simply following the orders of his boss Robbie Gibb? There probably has been a version of the evidence given by a version of Robbins ... 1/8
Of course it is survivable. What a load of media nonsense. Guardian not accurate on facts. There was no lying. Get out of media Westminster bubble and start to investigate things that matter. People just want delivery. Judge Labour on that. And look more carefully at the other parties.
FFS, how about reporting on what the government is doing to get this country back on its feet after 14 years of Tory mismanagement. The majority of the general public is not interested in this story.

One of the very best.
Pressure is part of the job
So in the end, if you don't like Starmer, you think he should go.
If you do, you think he should stay.
What has changed?
On & forward...
I want Starmer & the Govt to put as much right as is possible after the Tory (& LibDems) 14 year sh*t show.
In 2029, if you still don't like him, vote accordingly.
Amidst the Mandelson brouhaha and kerfuffle a metric that really matters - real wages are rising.
The public don't know the detail of how the system of Govt works. The news media have whipped up a non-story to bring down the PM. That's the basis of this media circus. PM's rely totally on their officials to brief them & carry out Govt policy. PM's do not do detail. They've got too much to do.
The Guardian has egg on its face today.
What an embarrassment.
Idiots
The political journalists are addicted to chaos because chaos means clicks & clicks mean money.
Until we see meaningful reform of the the entire industry we going going to trapped in a race to the bottom.
