Tory MP just pointed out that Starmer's master plan was to make Mandelson the ambassador to a country that holds the Epstein files and, by extention, damning kompromat over him.

Hello, I hope you don’t mind this message. My son is in critical condition in Gaza and urgently needs medical treatment outside. Even the smallest help or a repost could make a difference 💔

Plus they picked Olly Robbins to be the fall-guy only for him to perform the sensible grown-up role better than Starmer. Sensible-mogged in the commons.

I want to see Starmer walk in the same way I want it to be Christmas tomorrow. I know it'll be better if I let the time come naturally but it'd still be great.

Of course she meant it in the dogwhistle 'liberals in our universities' way but is too america poisoned to remember you're supposed to say 'Corbynite leftie' here.

Elsewhere Shabana Mahmood complained about white liberals being soft on immigration. On the Matt Forde podcast. Whose audience consists solely of white liberals.

I want Starmer to carry on until the general election because that would be very funny

it's hard to say what exactly is the most shameful part of this, the shitty AI or the 'achievements', so just lmao @ all of it

Sending Doyle and Mandelson to the US because of their track record of befriending pedophiles is a bold move. I'd have chosen someone who was into golf, personally.

Not only did they not bother to pay for silence, they gave him a an incentive to throw Starmer under the bus and a platform to do it.

Its that thing again of middle-class centrists refusing to see fault in Starmer because he's one of their own

The Thick of It always depicts a series of minor interlocking parts breaking at the worst possible time and things spiralling quickly thereafter. In reality its always dumb cunts refusing to steer around an iceberg they were warned about months ago.

Unironically Bear Grylls was the best name on the shortlist.

Hard to read that as anything other than 'I pick the next one'

If you wanted to give Mandelson a little gift for sabotaging the left and selecting your briefcase army you could have given him a nebulous 'advisor to the ambassador role' and dodged the vetting requirements. But once again that is what a competently corrupt organisation would do.

Especially when you factor in how the previous ambassador *was* liked. But they weren't a Labour grandee so off they fuck I guess.

Mandelson* was the Trump Whisperer.

Prime minimiser Keir Starmer of the UK acknowledged yhat 'he exercised wring judgement' when he chose his ambassador to Washington. I agree he was a really bad pick. Plenty of time to recover, however! President DJT

Its a really funny subplot that this was all because Trump was apparently the Trump Whisperer despite the fact he quite clearly doesn't like him.

Only Robbins batted at number 5 for England based on his form for Surrey but only averaged 27.5 after 10 tests

So he employed a close friend of the world's most notorious pedophile when their friendship was public knowledge, who can honestly say they haven't made the same mistake? Pobodies Nerfect guys.

Might be a south thing. We hadn't had a dry day until March here

I can see this being used for the govt to wash their hands of online radicalisation without stepping on Sillicon Valley's toes.

'We don't let them use phone under our watch so the parents are to blame. Nothing we can do 🤷'

Okay stay with me here - I think the president of the US is a pedophile.

Palace need to take a dive here. For the bit.

"Sorry just going to have to stop you there. Commons etiquette dictates that you can't say mean things about the man bullshitting to the entire country. Now please say sorry to noble sir Keir."
