Business minister Kevin Hollinrake claims Sir Keir Starmer is being "pushed around" by Angela Rayner for allowing Diane Abbott to stand as a Labour candidate.

The Tory candidate adds that being prime minister "is probably one of the most high-pressure jobs in this country, and probably one of the most high-pressure in the world".

He asked "how will [Starmer] cope when he is on the world stage with all the pressure that brings?".

    People don’t ‘feel’ better off because they aren’t better off.

    From the disastrous torries to an even greater collection of narcissists and criminals. Billy Smart would be very proud 😅

    What total BS, loads of people in my workplace have just been made redundant.

    I'm afraid people are very aware that most politicians are not worth listening to unfortunately.
    Politics in general needs fundamental change , ...so it represents the year 2024,...not 1974.

    He will be a very weak PM.He’s totally out of his depth.

    Rishi and the Tories didn't do anything to make inflation drop! But also, prices haven't dropped at all because inflation is percentage rise so prices are still going up!
  • @williamling3056
    The Tories claiming that Labour are split when we've had years and years of the Cons fighting each other and changing leaders. Comedy gold!
  • @stephenhill545
    They won't get the chance to impose austerity a second time.
  • @sofajockeyUK
    The more likely reality is that Starmer and Rayner speak every day and Rayner's message was agreed and cleared.

    All the cars I see on the road tell me people are doing very well.
  • How on earth did a failed estate agent like Hollindrake become the Business Minister - he couldn't run a bath.
  • @lesleylamy
    Rubbish they are both on the same page.
