Bizarrely Mandelson didn’t fail security vetting due to his links with Epstein, it was due to his Arms dealing connections in Russia & China
Had the Mandelson-Epstein Scandal not burst, Mandelson would NOW be Ambassador to the US, whilst an identified national security risk🇷🇺🇬🇧🇨🇳
Starmer must GO

Peter Mandelson and George Osborne have been friends for years. It's all a big club and you're not in it.
Mysteries, Yes By Mary Oliver Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising. How two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken. How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say "Look!" and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads.
Mysteries, Yes ~ Mary Oliver
Govt line today is that they can’t believe how bad their own vetting process is, a vetting process they themselves repeatedly pointed to during the Mandelson affair, a process they’re now saying they were ignorant about. That they didn’t understand it, nor sought to.
Suboptimal
The UK government has blanked the risks of US tech dependency for too long.
Our digital infrastructure is a strategic asset.
But that understanding is absent in how we hand out public sector contracts and allow UK tech sector sell-offs to foreign companies.
We must shift the dial.

We bulldoze wetlands, clear-cut forests, and poison soil — all while claiming superiority.
Meanwhile, a mushroom quietly does what our entire chemical industry struggles to achieve:
Break down toxins and create abundance.
Intelligence without wisdom is just arrogance with tools.

A big thank you to Labour’s Streeting, the absolute whalloper, for just championing the cause for Scottish independence 👍🏴
There will be a surge towards YES, and the SNP, thanks to this Scotland denying clown 🇬🇧

I’m just looking through the full list of books banned by the Manchester school headteacher who, it seems, tried to ruin his school librarian’s career. It’s hard not to notice how many titles are by and about women, Black people and LGBTQ folk.
If it’s such a ‘gold mine’ why did the 14 year period of the last Conservative government, throughout which it pursued a policy of issuing licenses and maximising oil and gas production, end up being defined by austerity and the worst wage growth since the Napoleonic era?

In other news Starmer is in the Middle East today.
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
Trump didn't break the system, he's exposing and exploiting its weaknesses, flaws and double standards. Those already known to those who have experienced bombing, occupation and genocide at the hands of the US and its allies. You know, those that many crying foul now don't care about. 2/
You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.
Anyone who contributed to this event - the politicians and journalists who normalised him or submitted to his narratives, around the world - should hang their fucking heads in shame. They've put us in the most dangerous geopolitical situation for a generation and left a people at risk of genocide.
This is a no-brainer.

The President of the U.S. The man with the nuclear codes. And people are just going to pretend this is ok.
In a functioning society, he would be removed from office within hours by his own party.

Gaza is just the beginning, the author said in a recent speech at Princeton in which he offered a sweeping indictment of a global order collapsing into what he calls “technologically advanced barbarism.”
A week since our documentary on the Keir Starmer premiership went out onC4!
How did Starmer go from winning one of the biggest landslides in political history, to quickly become one of our least popular prime ministers? And how much of it is really his fault?

Streeting was asked if he could understand why there were concerns about the ethics of the Palantir contract, to which he replied: “Yes, for a few reasons.” “Firstly, when you look at some of the things that Palantir’s leaders have said in the States, when you look at their political views and their outlook.” When asked about co-founder Peter Thiel’s support for Trump, Streeting said: “If you were to put him and some of those Palantir bosses on the political spectrum in the UK, they would be well off to the right of even Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative Party, which is saying something at the moment. And so there’s a question people have about values.”
“But when I’ve heard people say ‘I’m not sure about Palantir’, or ‘I’m not sure that the NHS has a really good track record on this sort of project’, I’m sorry, but that doesn’t wash with me. “There’s been a national decision taken with significant investment of public money. This is of vital importance to patients. Go further, faster,” Streeting said.
'You don't like my opinions? Well, I have others' says Wesley Streeting, the most unprincipled man in British politics.
In 2024 he was slamming hospitals for not adopting Palantir but now civil society has forced Palantir's terrifying politics onto the agenda he's changed his tune.
Daily Mail front page attacking Keir Starmer for Donald Trump’s disgusting behaviour…
This is an extraordinary front page for a British newspaper to run. Donald Trump’s delinquency, derangement & imperilling of international security is somehow a stick with which to beat our own Prime Minister, who has negotiated the current horror show rather well. It is actually sickening.
following international law for refugees is a fairytale apparently
