I watched him demolish Johnson at the dispatch box a few years ago, he has got better and he connects more than what is let on….

I’d certainly think Labour could do worse for next 3 years, he also has a real standing to punch back at Polanski and co whereas you’d feel Streeting wouldn’t

As a minister you are always on the clock. It’s possible to go on these shows and poke fun but don’t do it with an issue like this.

Don’t worry Hannah, I feel similar…

I am very much in the Starmer “time to go camp” but it makes me sad, and the people who are still in the “Starmer in” camp have been quite negative, which is hard to take as I agree with most what they say.

It’s just one of them things

The Wife has just informed me that sex is better on holiday. Not the best postcard I’ve received

Tbh I think everyone is confused not nearly the blokes in the middle of it

I suspect Starmer is in his last few weeks of been PM, this has badly damaged him. His treating of Robbins seems is not how you treat people in the workplace. Unacceptable

But our media though? They are abysmal and badly let us all down. This carry on is pathetic and will cost two men their jobs.

Not sure an apology will suffice. You cannot treat people this way.

Still completely flummoxed by this Mandelson affair. The government have made mistakes in this but bloody the press are chasing their own tail and literally changing the goal posts continually…

Also sacking Robbins feels like a terrible mistake and unbefitting of a leader

Surely this should be the start of the vetting scandal?

How many lords etc are deeply compromised people who surely can’t have passed vetting?

Toby Young? David Cameron? Lebedev?

They are been paid £250 a day to overrule our laws. I think it’s critical we know how many would pass vetting

But then that’s a pass isn’t it. TBH it’s a real insight into how utterly unfit the mechanism is around govt

I’m so confused about this story now, and I think everyone is.

It seems Mandelson didn’t fail his vetting…

So what the hell is going on? Why did Robbins get sacked? How in the hell is this taking up so much time?

If he says this then it’s just a slanging match at this point but Starmer is done.

Watching Boris Johnson’s ex ministers chuckling all over the TV about how “bad” Labour is…

Politics really is a graveyard for anyone but them Eton c***s, who face 0 consequences of their actions

I’m asking the government to ask the police to investigate everyone who was involved.

And yes I do want X banned. It’s a monster, people have died because of it, it has no safeguards and exploited women and children, radicalises others, it’s not ok for it to exist without and Musk won’t help

Well I am as well but I was born in Australia so I will absolutely be sent back like ICE in America

Yeah but my children and wife might be a bit devestated

That is literal the opposite of fascism.

Asking for the law to do its job?

I like Stella, but that is a big leap.

She would be popular with the party though.

Chris Curtis Louise Haigh intervention tomorrow should be interesting

She will be in the running

It’s down to our government to remove sites that peddle disinformation that nearly got people killed and did millions in damage.

And yeah the government should have asked for an investigation into anyone peddling conspiracy theories irrespective of their status.

Honestly wanted Starmer to succeed probably more than anyone (and he has done some good) but even the Labour MPs know his race is run.

This hanging around reflects badly on Labour wannabe leaders.

Yes it might look chaotic but someone has to come forward.

Maybe then we can get a fair hearing

Anderson and Sultana calling the PM a liar and been booted out of commons for it…

Two awful MPs getting air time now because of this.

It’s all a bit draining isn’t it? We have some awful people in Parliament

Plenty did, I’m a bit taken aback that you seem to be defending Farage.

He was literally fuelling conspiracy theories, that’s what several people went to prison for.

I haven’t switched to anything. X should be closed.

Plenty of people felt Farage should be investigated, including this guy

Not all of them, the MP for Clacton? and the photo thing went on for a good month or so.

The damage it’s done to this country is incalculable.

Plenty of social media can go elsewhere, take the nude photo AI thing. It was dehumanising. The riots pretty much started from a tweet.

You can absolutely shut down X. And you can absolutely arrest Musk.

And Farage should have also faced it.

The glasses scandal. Farcical.

Winter fuel allowance and IHT - massively blown up by all sides. Pathetic

Rayners tax “scandal” - A literal honest mistake

The press are a disgrace

Arresting people for inciting literal riots is not fascism. It’s justice no different to the people arrested protesting or that woman Tory I cannot remember her name.
