#STARMEROUT
Labour leader Keir Starmer has come in for criticism on Twitter for writing a column for the Conservative-supporting Mail on Sunday
@darrengrimes
said: #Starmerout is trending because Labour Party members reckon he's not left-wing enough for them by writing for the widely-read Daily Mail. Deliciously mental.
@tinakalinen posted:no
true Socialist would write for The Mail on Sunday.
@Kcding reckons: Keep
going with this stance and the Tories will be in forever and we in the NHS that are drowning will be finished. You’re doing the Tories’ work for them.
@Rachael_swindon
asked: Nobody knows what Starmer stands for, apart from his serious obsession with getting kids back to school quicker than Boris ‘105,000 dead’ Johnson. But to find this out you need to buy the Mail or click on their online site. Why aren’t scores of Labour MPS absolutely furious?

wrote: Starmer should be charged with bringing Labour into disrepute for writing a column in the Daily Mail. Who the hell is he trying to attract to the party? @reece_seaman tweeted supportively: Whoever believes #Starmerout is part of sensible debate within a nearly ruined party only a year ago, just go.
@xt_dan says: Which is why I will be voting Green in any forthcoming elections. I’ve had a look at their policies - far more progressive than Starmer & his Blairite ‘Torylite’ policies. They even support Trades Unions!
@Thatcarterblunt asks: Do I agree with everything in the #Starmerout hashtag? No. But it would be nice if the worst Tory government, that had delivered both Brexit and 100,000 dead so far, had an actual opposition.

Readers respond to the Andrew Marr politics show
@tompeck posts: I’ve just trodden on the remote control and accidentally turned on Liz Truss on the Andrew Marr Show talking gibbering filth about how, “we’ve always been clear” that Brexit would ruin large numbers of British businesses.
@peterwalker99 responded: I've rarely heard a politician sound less convinced about the policy they have been sent out to sell on the media than Rachel Reeves talking about early vaccinations for teachers.
