The 14 year old me was far too cool for Wham. The 57 year old me loves George Michael! What a performance 💪

More history 👏 Jude Bellingham's seven goals at this tournament makes him the highest scoring #ThreeLions player in a single @FIFAWorldCup campaign! ⚽️

Never underestimate the power of a ‘Mum talk’!! #WorldCup #BCFC #KRO

Hey Juuuude 💙

Reform UK's candidate for Clacton:

Not hard to imagine this happening 🤣 #WorldCup

To think that some doubted Jude Bellingham. To think that Thomas Tuchel once questioned his team contribution. Bellingham's talent and will to win have been clear ever since he broke into Birmingham City’s first team at 16. He was a prodigy then, and now the apprentice who became the world-class sorcerer. Two well-taken goals and one exceptional clearance. Vital player for England in and out of possession. Cherish him. #MEXENG

Hey Juuuude 💙⚽️💙

Leaving aside the ungracious comments from Trump - the tributes pouring in for Keir Starmer from International leaders are phenomenal. They make the behaviour of some Labour MPs appear very shabby. #justsaying

Keir Starmer gave this country something it badly needed - a Labour government that turned up for, and invested in, the West Midlands and places like it. He took over our party at one of its lowest points. He rebuilt it and brought Labour back into power. In government, he made choices that will change lives for years to come. He delivered the biggest advance in workers' rights for a generation. He gave renters real security in their own homes. And he took the decisions that are lifting children out of poverty. The past few months have been difficult. Keir carried the pressure of the job with dignity and decency. And those qualities mattered on the hard days as much as the good ones. I owe him a personal debt too, because he believed in me before I had won anything. When I stood to become Mayor he encouraged me and helped me find my feet in politics - brought me into meetings with current Mayors. I will always be grateful for the support he gave me. As Mayor, I saw what his leadership meant for the West Midlands. He never treated our region as an afterthought. He put people in No10 to work directly with us, on the things that change lives. Building the social homes families have waited years for. Tackling youth unemployment. Backing the transport, regeneration and infrastructure that will shape our region for years to come. He understood that power and investment had to reach communities that had waited too long for change. He listened to what the West Midlands needed and trusted us to deliver. Politics is brutal and it’s an unforgiving business - the constant want for simple answers to complex problems is a challenge our country needs to address. In all of this though, he never lost sight of why he entered public life. He believed politics could improve people's lives and he gave everything he had to make change. I want to thank Keir for his service to our country, for his friendship and for the support he gave me and the West Midlands.

After a 14 year Tory circus where they turned Britain into a joke, finally the grown up was in the room. It seems Brits have got so used to jokers they can’t recognise the real deal, aided and abetted by the worst hounding of a PM I’ve ever known. Embarrassing 🙄 #Starmer

Who would be the best Prime Minister of the UK? Don’t forget to retweet far and wide please. Oh, I’ve left off Wes Streeting. He has no chance in any case, the wet wimp, but have included Darren Jones, a potential strong contender. Please add an alternative if you wish.

The spectacle of the Labour Party tearing itself apart and trashing a leader/PM with a large parliamentary majority is astonishing and distressing in equal measure. After so many years out of power, it is recklessly irresponsible.

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated. On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades. After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced. We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

Open letter to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer Dear Prime Minister, I am writing as a Labour supporter who is deeply concerned by the growing pressure surrounding your leadership, but also as someone who has developed a genuine admiration for the way you conduct yourself. What I respect most about you is your seriousness. You are not a political showman. You do not rely on constant drama, easy slogans or theatrical promises. You come across as disciplined, intelligent, decent and deeply conscious of the responsibility that comes with leading the country. In an age when politics is increasingly dominated by noise, outrage and personality cults, your calmness is a strength. Your resilience is also admirable. You have faced relentless criticism, personal attacks and an often hostile media environment, yet you have continued to behave with dignity. You rarely lash out. You do not appear consumed by ego. You keep returning to the work. That matters to me. Britain has already endured years of political chaos, revolving-door prime ministers and governments more interested in internal warfare than governing. The country does not need another leadership contest. It needs stability, seriousness and delivery. You were elected with a mandate to govern. You inherited damaged public services, weak growth, overcrowded prisons, an NHS under enormous pressure and public trust worn down by fourteen years of Conservative government. None of that can be repaired overnight. I hope you will remain Prime Minister and continue the work until the next general election in 2029. Labour MPs should understand that removing you now could trigger weeks of division, uncertainty and damaging promises made during a leadership contest. The press would feed on the chaos, financial markets could react, and Nigel Farage and Reform would be handed exactly the political instability they want. This is not the time for Labour to imitate the Conservative Party. I also believe your personality is better suited to this difficult period than many people appreciate. You are methodical rather than impulsive, measured rather than reckless, and focused on governing rather than performing. Those qualities may not always generate exciting headlines, but they are the qualities a serious Prime Minister needs. Leadership is not only about popularity. It is about character. It is about remaining calm when others panic, showing discipline when others chase attention, and continuing the difficult work when the noise becomes unbearable. Please hold the line. Many Labour supporters still believe in your integrity, your determination and your sense of duty. Britain needs less political theatre and more delivery, and you deserve the opportunity to complete the job the country elected Labour and you to do. Yours sincerely, Thomas Soede

Forever Blue 💙
