Now this is quality ragebait.

Her heart's not in it apparently:

Well, put it this way, if 81, and I think I’m allowed to count myself, if 80 members of parliament give me their name by Monday, I think that qualifies me to go onto a list of some sort. I haven’t actually even looked at the rules because I don’t actually want to do this. I want the people who have been planning this for years to do it.

But are there any current MPs who can get the 20% support needed in the PLP to start a leadership contest? Starmer seems determined to not stand aside, so they're going to have to remove him. Burnham could probably do it, but that'd require him getting back to Westminster somehow.

They have nothing to do with any of these newspapers. I'm not even sure they have anything to do with the Mirror anymore.

A Merseyside Reform UK election candidate who called the Holocaust a "hoax" and "propaganda" has been elected in the local elections. Jay Leslie Cooper has taken one of three available seats for the Bootle West ward on Sefton Council.

The newly elected Cllr Cooper secured 705 votes and will join two Labour councillors, Jim Conalty and Dan McKee, in representing the three-member ward.

Prior to the election, the ECHO revealed that Cllr Cooper had shared vile views on his social media accounts, including evidence of Holocaust denial.

In September last year Cooper reposted an article on Facebook about the fatal shooting of American political commentator Charlie Kirk with the accompanying headline: "Heartbreaking. Murdered for having an opinion."

In response to a comment which asked: "[Adolf] Hitler had an (opinion) too; did he deserve to die?", Cooper said: "I don't agree with him murdering innocent people. But the Hallocaust (sic) is a hoax. There wasn't (sic) even 6 million Jews in Europe at the time. Propaganda."

I found the same, but that's not really enough to describe the Murdochs as being a Jewish family. It's frankly antisemitic to baselessly say a major media mogul is Jewish.

The Telegraph isn't.

Edit: also, I couldn't find any accounts of Murdoch being Jewish?

I've never seen him claim to be a spokesperson for them and he doesn't claim to be one in the example in the article. Not saying he didn't, but if he did then it's poor journalism not quoting it in the article.
