A website was registered yesterday for members of the public to lobby their Labour MP to support Starmer. How desperate is it getting…
HoldTheLine is a swish website through with the headline message: “Tell Your Labour MP To Stand Firm. In a world where Trump tears up international rules and Reform waits in the wings, Britain needs stable government, not another leadership crisis.”
Constituents can send their Labour MP the following message:
“I’m writing as a constituent. I’m angry about the government’s errors and the judgement failures that have driven this week’s crisis, but I do not want Labour MPs to respond by collapsing the leadership and detonating the government.
Reform is polling at, or near, the top nationally. If Labour fractures, there is no orderly handover to a better alternative, there is a vacuum and Reform benefits. That is the reality of the moment, and it is reckless to pretend otherwise.
The bigger picture is that Reform is not simply another opposition party waiting for a turn in office, it is a clear and present danger to Britain’s social fabric and democratic culture. It thrives by turning neighbours against each other, stoking fear about immigration and asylum, and normalising contempt for basic standards in public life, with real consequences for minorities, refugees, and anyone who has already been treated as expendable by our politics.
It also offers an economically illiterate fantasy that would hit ordinary households first, wreck trust in institutions further, and deepen the instability that has already done so much damage to living standards. A Labour collapse would not be a cleansing moment, it would be a national own goal that hands momentum to an insurgent right that has nothing constructive to offer and every incentive to inflame division.
I want you to back the Prime Minister through this period, demand reforms to decision-making in No 10, and keep the parliamentary party disciplined. Fix the mistakes, restore seriousness, and do not gift this country to Reform.”
If you input the postcode of a non-Labour MP it says: “This campaign is focused on encouraging Labour MPs to support the Prime Minister during this critical period. If you have access to a postcode in a Labour constituency, you can try again with that postcode.” Some Farage said he hopes Starmer will stay, too…
Handily at the bottom it says: “This tool is not affiliated with the Labour Party.” Morgan up coding at 4 a.m…
Speaking at his press conference on the Pride in Place programme which was obviously all about Mandelson, Starmer said:
“Tomorrow’s front pages are unlikely to be about the Pride in Place programme.”
