He’d have spared himself a lot of trouble if he hadn’t made McSweeney his chief of staff, Mandelson saga included.

If McSweeney and Mandelson take Starmer with them, it's only fair because he should have appointed neither. It was poor judgment, both times, and the selection of the right people for his administration is part of his job.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Labour’s ‘crabwise’ approach to closer EU ties must address damage of Brexit | Heather Stewart The damage to the economy dwarfs the upsides from the various non-EU trade deals the UK has struck since 2016

Daily Mail’s Brexit poll spectacularly backfires Not what the Mail expected...

👀🇪🇺 "The Mail may have been expecting its own readers to back Brexit, however early indications of the poll put 73% of respondents as saying Britain should rejoin the EU because it’s better for the economy.

"As time went on, this number grew to 84%."

Is Richard Tice’s picture AI-manipulated? Here are five giveaways Experts and social media detectives take a closer look at Reform deputy leader’s image of an apparent campaign event

"The photographer is real," say scrupulously honest Reform.

In which case, their supporters have 6 fingers, can perform levitation, and are campaigning to "Get Stuppence Out."

Stick to tax evasion, Tice. You're absolutely nailing that.

Notable that a bunch of the shits now calling out Starmer were quite keen on the appointment of Mandelson.

Most of the rest of us who are calling him out were *also* saying Mandelson's appointment was a disastrous idea *at the time*.

Peter Mandelson given access to top secret intelligence The former British ambassador to the US was privy to information that if leaked would present a security risk, despite failing vetting

Overreliance on his adviser has cost the PM dearly, most missteps can be attributed to McSweeney.

"The original sin was the hubris of thinking that Mandelson was the right person for that job.

The latter movement by Starmer, to fire Olly Robbins, is jaw-dropping."

Civil servants are SEETHING after "slippery" Starmer threw Robbins - who did what was asked - under the bus.

Richard Tice said Angela Rayner should resign “if she had any moral decency” She did resign.
His tax dodging is far bigger than hers. He hasn’t resigned.

We can therefore conclude that even he admits he has no moral decency (something the rest of us already knew)

This really is the only answer. Our dependence on fossil fuels must end. For our planet, and for our society.

Rules for thee, thou working-born lady risen high but not for me; for I do bend such laws to my own favour and call it virtue still!

Wait a minute, is this the same Richard Tice who repeatedly called for Angela Rayner to resign over her dubious tax shenanigans? Surely not, because that would make him look like a hypocritical wanker. Oh.

This is simply not true. Labour didn’t have to go right. They *chose* to go right. The big majority was a chance to reset everything back to sanity. Starmer chose the mad, bigoted, ignorant and dishonest route instead.

An investigation from the Sunday Times has alleged Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax on shell companies.

Just a cheap data-harvesting exercise.
I'm amazed people still fall for this sort of shithousary!

Voting Reform is the equivalent of voting twice for Trump.
It is an act of pure ignorance, or racism, or both.
And, as we all know, it leads nowhere good.

Please god UK. Do not let that happen. Learn from our mistakes. Learn from America’s mistakes.
Just get your shit together.

The difference between Richard Tice and Angela Rayner is that Tice knew exactly what he was doing. Rayner was in completely uncharted waters relying on the wisdom of others.
