So Gray was replaced by McSweeney (tight with Mandelson), McSweeney pressures the Foreign Office on behalf of Mandelson, Mandelson gets the ambassador job to work directly on government deals with Palantir et al.
Brown paper bags all round.
Twat by Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsnewEra) Folks, I've got some bad news. The Unite The Kingdom rally on May 16th has had to be cancelled due to a severe lack of funding. We've poured everything into this - blood, sweat and tears - to give the British people a voice against the madness destroying our country, but without the financial backing we needed, we can't make it happen this time. The establishment will be laughing, but this isn't the end. It's a wake-up call. If you want to see real change and take our streets back, we need your support now more than ever. Donate, share, get involved - because the fight for Britain continues. Stay strong, patriots. We'll be back bigger and stronger. #UniteTheKingdom #SaveBritain Link in bio if you can still help the cause.
Is there a chance the cash they did raise gets refunded? Or has it disappeared up a nostril somewhere?
"He is a madman."
We asked people in the Reform UK constituency of East Wiltshire what they think about Donald Trump. Hereās what they said.
The most egregious error Keir Starmer has made in the whole Mandelson affair is to allow Morgan McSweeney to run riot. Everything leads back to him. And once again we see an out-of-control boys' club in No10 (cf Campbell, Cummings) run by someone who thinks he's the cleverest person in the room.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAS LOST ITS WAY! An IDIOT on The Wall Street Journal's Editorial Board, named Elliot Kaufman, just wrote an Op Ed entitled, "The Iranians Take Trump for a Sucker." Really? For 47 years, they have killed our people, and many others, and taken advantage of every President, except me - And what did I give to them, a Country in tatters! Their entire Navy is at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar is wiped out, their Nuclear Labs and Storage Areas were OBLITERATED late one dark June evening by our Great B-2 Bombers, their leaders are DEAD, including General Soleimani, their evil genius who destroyed the lives of so many with his favored roadside bombs, the Strait of Hormuz is BLOCKADED and totally controlled by the U.S., with no Ships allowed to go to Iranian Ports - It is said that they are losing 500 Million Dollars a day because of this - Their Country is an Economic Catastrophe, that is hanging by a thread. Barack Hussein Obama gave them 1.7 Billion Dollars in "Green" Cash, flown in by a Boeing 757 to their leaders, and Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in order to help them on their way to a Nuclear Bomb. Other Presidents did nothing to stop them, a BLIGHT on the Office of the Presidency! But despite all of this, I have a MORON on the Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal writing about me being taken for a "sucker." Iran certainly doesn't think so! Neither does anyone else. I guess Rupert Murdoch told him to write it this way, because The Wall Street Journal has lost its way, no longer required reading, just another failing political "RAG!" President DONALD J. TRUMP
The criticism is starting to get to him.
Heās not psychologically capable of dealing with it.

Even after all of the coverage we still donāt seem to have a definitive answer as to who made the decision to wave Mandelsonās appointment through. Robbins says he was pressured into it by Starmerās secretarial staff. Which member of staff? Is this the real reason why McSweeney was sacked?
Much of todayās UK media coverage is rubbish. Robins displayed Philby-era Foreign Office arrogance in believing FO alone could āmanageā Mandelsonās vetting fail, when he was exposed on so many fronts as a shyster vulnerable to blackmail
You can lead the Daily Telegraph to an NHS story, but you can't make them report it accurately.
Notice how they hide their faces like the pathetic cowards they areā¦
Trumpās behaviour in the Middle East and the subsequent removal of sanctions on Russia proves he is no friend of the UK or Europe.
Looks to me like heās completely lost it. An intervention is required.
āWe have totally obliterated the uranium. But we are launching this illegal war because Iran is days away from launching a nuclear strike on the West with bombs made from that uranium.ā
The Mandelson affair was survivable. Keir Starmerās explanation for it may not be. It is a parable of his premiership and its wider problems- that the explanation is always process, not politics.
Piece from me on the limits of process politics

Mandelson was/is the corrupt slimy turd that just wonāt flush. Hopefully this is the end of any influence he ever has over the Labour Party.
I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice Ā£91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".
No donāt ignore them, rail against their fascist agenda
Dr David Bull on Twitter: "Less than three weeks until Britain's midterms. Vote Reform. Get Starmer Out. Reform UK teams hard at work...#TimeForReform"
Britain, like any other Westminster-style Parliamentary democracy, doesn't have "midterms" or anything close to it.
The British right are positively embarrassed to be British and so spend their days wistfully hoping for the time they can proudly claim their new status as serfs of Washington.
What I want to know is who overruled the vetting decision. If Robbins took that upon himself to do that then this is all piss in the wind.
ājust how central was Peter Mandelson to the Starmer projectā is a question that is becoming increasingly close to being permissible, and I think Starmer is 100% done once it starts being asked

So now we've established that Mandelson is a corrupting force that sullies everything and everyone in his sphere of influence, what are we going to do about the fact he hand-picked the entirety of Labour's 2024 intake of new MPs?
Absolutely fucking incredible that there's *another* nonce related angle to this.
