But Josh Simmons set Magnum PI on the journo’s case as soon as they started pulling at that thread on the Mandelson front.

You need a credit every time I use this image?

Labour Together was his idea. The Starmer Project was conceived by Mandelson. Mandelson was vetting 2024 election candidates. You can read about it in books by The Times’s journalists. To ignore all this is to be wilfully ignorant or delusional.

how do we think atmosphere will be at the games if it's purely an ability-to-pay dynamic on who is there?

Two Palestinians, one of them a 14-year-old child, were shot and killed by Israeli settlers this morning in the village of Al-Mughayyir.

TBF he may have an inside track on Epstein intel via his brother and sister-in-law.

King 'warned Starmer against appointing Mandelson as US ambassador' His Majesty is reported to have penned two notes raising his concerns about naming the controversial peer as the UK's top diplomat in Washington DC .

'Do you really think that's wise?' is what King Charles wrote on a note accompanying his sign off on Mandelson's appointment. So how did the King get to that conclusion without any vetting reports or secret briefings but Starmer couldn't?

It could be debated, but at this stage isn’t it yet another piece of circumstantial evidence that will take Starmer down?

The appmt advice, the vetting advice, the fall guys, the ‘stolen’ phone. There’s plenty of smoke suggesting a fire.

I expect Olly Robbins to deliver the fatal blow tomorrow.

Don’t worry, I’ve got an open bottle of Fino in the fridge. I’ll have a symbolic glass while listening to Starmer’s statement to the House at 3:30!

Sky News has just broken news on Starmer failing to follow Cabinet Secretary advice on Mandelson vetting/appointment process.

I’m assuming this is Mandelson/Streeting-friendly journos drip-feeding the ‘discoveries’ over last few days.

Sam Coates reports "We've got some breaking news"

It turns out that the head of the civil service told Starmer he should get all the security vetting done before he announced who'd be the new ambassador

"Clearly Starmer chose not to do that, [he] chose to ignore formal advice"

Toast

Nah, he was just trying to wind me up because my teams on my profile. Wouldn’t tell me his team obvs. Similar to not declaring his Scottish Socialist Party interest, or his name.

blocked him once he tried to flip his losing argument from political donations to football.

To be fair, if you’re a member of the Scottish Socialist Party, then the scale of Green Party discourse on here must feel like the ‘pile on’ he was constantly alluding to.

Scottish Socialist Party Donations Plea

Keep on topic mate. Here’s the Scottish Socialist Party’s page asking for working class donations despite ‘times being difficult’

What the fuck are you on about?

Corbyn’s Labour Party, and Momentum, used to ring me up on a near monthly basis to ask for similar donations, on top of my membership subs, and that was with 500,000 members.

So in that case, Starmer is lying now, and has done to Parliament, with regard to his motives, the process, and his astonishment?

Equally a referrable offence under the Ministerial Code.

But that does hint at widespread local opposition irrespective of party?

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.

Trevor Phillips said on Sky News this morning that "everybody in the country who could read a newspaper" knew in advance of the Mandelson appointment that he was problematic

is this the same Phillips who interviewed Mandelson on October 08 2023 and didn't ask any questions about Epstein friendship?

I think you’re just illustrating that the centrist/right media, Conservatives, and Labour Together, are all part of a cosy establishment that is willing to overlook paedophile enabling behaviour if that helps its mates.

Many media and online voices called out the appointment at the time.

My understanding from listening to the ‘experts’ is that you cannot disclose any aspect of the vetting process or results. Which begs the question, what would happen if Olly Robins had not given PM clearance, KR had asked asked ‘why?’ And OR had replied ‘I can’t tell you’
