Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.

Howard Beckett was suspended from Labour for saying "Priti Patel should be deported, not refugees"

so surely Mahmood will also be suspended, at the very very least

Mahmood seems to have gone nuts. Fire her now.

Evening

women next to me at the cafe discussing a European couple they know who moved to London and hired a schools consultant (?) who advised them on what neighbourhood to buy a house in so their kids could get into the best state school, so I reckon that we actually could tax high earners a bit more tbh

Horrid

It's absolute bollocks, ignore them

She should have called him an idiot

Jesus

Who would?

Holy shit these kids are brave.

"None of them"

People not praising the 80s

"None of them"

The government faces two opposition parties runming on mass deportations as their central public argument: Reform and Restore. This is a joke about deporting opponents from the Home Secretary [in the interview in which she says some of her critics don't believe she should be in the country]

Evening

Much like we do with masturbation

I'd ban smoking in public. Fed up getting off a train to a wall of smoke because people have gone 30 minutes without one

Let people smoke themselves to death in their own home

Are there, perhaps, any recent examples of dubious characters with obvious security risks being appointed to the House of Lords?

Tennant

Thatcher, so she can die again.

Starmer isn't the first person that needs to go

Mahmood told Forde’s Political Party podcast at the Duchess Theatre that claims she was chasing Reform votes were “just a way of delegitimising the point of view that I bring to the table”. “It’s also a way of delegitimising the perfectly valid, legitimate views of millions of people in this country, including ethnic minorities in this country. And it’s not acceptable, right? And also, you’re trying to put me in a box, which includes a lot of people who think I don’t even belong in my own country. “That’s why I said this individual can just fuck right off, because I know I belong in my own country. You’re not going to be able to do that to me,” she said. She said there was an aspect of racism to the claims. “I do think there is that element of it, which is: ‘How dare you, a brown woman, say a thing that we white liberals think you’re not allowed to say?’ Well I’m saying it.”

Can't think of anything funny to say about this. Mahmood's repeated weaponisation of racism to defend her racist policies might be the most immoral thing a minister has done since Osborne's Philpott comments

We make my son carry a piece of paper with numbers on

I've been married to my wife almost 20 years and I don't know her number

I can remember the number my parents stopped using almost 30 years ago

Starmer created this crisis by sacking a qualified and competent woman.

And when he sacked career diplomat Karen Pierce to give Mandelson her job, SIX other senior women diplomats left FCDO as their careers were doomed under his government.

He's done far worse, but I'm fine if this does for him.

Out of interest. Why don't you think somebody worked in a number of positions in a union can't be a diplomat?

Only really during WW2

The BBC should be over this

We know they won't

Or even be over the facts
