Keir Starmer’s social media ban is a SNEAKY 'parting gift' to globalists before he's ousted

Christopher, just to put this to you, the Prime Minister has tweeted in the last few moments, he said, congratulations Andy Burnham, Labour's new MP for Makerfield. Voters chose Labour's campaign of hope and optimism over division and hate. Is that a fair comment to make, despite the fact that, as you referenced, there was no Labour branding, this was all Andy Burnham branding, and he ran on a, I guess, anti-Starmer campaign perhaps? And that man himself, Sir Keir Starmer, Alex, didn't even come here to campaign, and everyone else did of course. Anyone who wants to get ahead in the Labour party would have tried to campaign, and on the first day of the campaign we saw Jonathan Reynolds, the party's Chief Whip, at that launch of Andy Burnham. So yeah, no question, he has to say that, doesn't he? And he says he will fight anyone who takes him on. Andy Burnham, maybe Wes Streeting, maybe someone else, Al Carnes, they have to win 81 MPs' support in the whole party in Labour, and then that should trigger this election. Wes Streeting said that he can get that number next week. There were informed reports in the New States magazine overnight that the same can be true for Andy Burnham. I should say though that the problems facing this country have not gone away. I was talking to a senior minister last night who told me the plan of Andy Burnham is to tackle adult social care, tackle defence spending, tackle small boats. These are all the real issues this government has tried to tackle, and in some cases has failed to spectacularly. How can Andy Burnham do any better? This minister also admitted to me that Andy Burnham basically is a vibes politician. He's good at connecting with people in a way which the more kind of black and white, you know, in a technicolour world, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer can't.

In the meantime, let's speak to GB News political correspondent Olivia Utley, who joins us live from Downing Street. Liv, we know that the Prime Minister is awake. He's awake and tweeting. What do you make of his post congratulating Andy Burnham for his victory in Makefield? Well, I sense it was through gritted teeth, but the Prime Minister didn't really have any other choice. We all suspected yesterday that Andy Burnham was probably going to win this by-election. What we didn't expect was the scale of the victory, nearly 55% of the vote. That's more than every other party put together. It is worth noting that there was quite a lot of tactical voting going on. The left formed a block. The Greens only got 308 votes. The Lib Dems only got 168. But it would be churlish to take away from the scale of Burnham's victory this morning. And of course, that puts the Prime Minister in a very, very difficult situation. He has said time and time again that he will fight on, that he has no plans to stand aside for Andy Burnham, Web Streeting or anyone else. But I think what makes it difficult for Keir Starmer this morning is just how much Andy Burnham has won by. People called this a proof of concept by-election. If Andy Burnham was able to win in Makefield, somewhere which essentially went teal in the local elections just a few weeks ago, somewhere where there was a huge swing to reform in 2024, if Andy Burnham could win there, the theory in Labour circles is that perhaps he could win in other areas of the country where reform seems to be making an advance. I think there are a few things that we need to watch out for this morning. Will we start seeing the resignation of Keir Starmer's Cabinet members? We talked about Lisa Nandy there, Lisa Nandy, who didn't really leave Burnham's side overnight. She's talked in glowing terms of the new MP for Makefield. Will she stand down from the Cabinet? Will we, in fact, see a whole string of MPs standing down from Keir Starmer's Cabinet, as happened with Boris Johnson just a few years ago? Then, of course, the moment we are all waiting for. Who is going to trigger this contest and when? We know that both Andy Burnham, of course, and Wes Streathing are up for the race. It would seem a little bit indecent, probably, of Andy Burnham having just won this by-election. I doubt he would trigger a race today. Might he trigger it next week? Might Wes Streathing do it for him? When is this all going to happen? I've spoken to Labour MPs who suggest that they would like to see that new Prime Minister in place by Labour Party conference in October. It's the middle of June now. That doesn't give them very much time at all. There is so much going on today. We will find out soon what Keir Starmer is thinking. Is he beginning to think that, actually, a brutal contest for the leadership isn't what his party needs? Is he worried about being put in the same situation as Boris Johnson a few years ago when minister after minister resigned and he was holed up alone in Downing Street trying to decide whether to cling on? So many difficult questions for the Prime Minister this morning. It feels like British politics is taking a whole new shape. This by-election ended a string of by-election defeats for Labour. It is astonishing. I think also just worth mentioning that it was a very bad night indeed for reform. There was almost no movement in swing from the 2024 general election. Obviously, reform has been gaining a lot of momentum throughout the country since then. Restore managed to take about 3,000 votes from reform. And of course, in Scotland, the Conservatives managed to gain a different by-election victory, showing that there is still life in them yet. That's a really tough night for reform. How's Nigel Farage going to respond? I think we're in for a lively day and a lively couple of weeks. Olivia, just a brief comment from you because it looks like, as you said, there could be a very, very public civil war. Can you just remind people how damaging that was for the Conservative Party when they were in office? Well, it was very damaging indeed. We lost track of how many Prime Ministers we saw in a very short number of years. But when Boris Johnson was in power, then we saw the resignations of Rishi Sunak, Sajid Javid. I think it was 23 ministers who resigned before Boris Johnson finally decided he had to go. We then had that brutal leadership contest, which Liz Truss won. She was Prime Minister for just 49 days. And by the time Rishi Sunak took power, it was pretty much inevitable that when the general election was called in a year and a half's time, he would lose, which he did. Now the Conservatives in Makefield last night, they were on just 2% of the vote. They are struggling to show signs of life at all. That was an extinction level event, that removal of Boris Johnson back in 2023. Could something similar happen to Labour if they do engage in that massive civil war? Could Keir Starmer put his own ambitions aside in order to avoid that? His argument is that he's not in it for the power. He's in it because he won a huge mandate from the general public, and it is only democratic for him to continue. But will that argument hold with that enormous swing towards Labour with Andy Burnham's victory in Makefield? The people, you could argue, like Andy Burnham more than they like Keir Starmer. Where does that put the Prime Minister? Okay, Olivia Rutley there for us in Downing Street. Thank you very much.
