Needy or what?! What a pathetic, self serving turd he is! The only things worse are the sycophants who surround him!?!

Can't we just offer them the £500 million to stay at home?!

Overcharged £118 million for a prison barge we barely used. £700 million for a failed Rwanda scheme!

F**k, these nasty little racists are costing me a fortune!!

Only from the land where they so openly celebrate ignorance!!

I am still missing the bit that took us from a reported assault, to a suspected rape with incorect racial undertones?! How did the story get out that she'd been attacked by a migrant?! It sounds like some further culpability to come out yet?!

Was the war in Vietnam only 2 weeks long?!

You started this thread with, "God this story is so boring". I was simply offering you some solutions😁

But, if the Guardian is publishing all these "boring" stories, why don't you read the Mail instead, or maybe the Telegraph, which seems just as bad these days? Complaining because the Guardian is publishing Mandelson stories, just draws more attention to the story!

Has it not dawned on these folk, but the more evasive they get in their answers, the more interested we get?!

Well, there's a little fact that seems to have gone under-reported?!

Everyone has a choice. Just scroll to the next article!

How delightful. Makes me proud to be English!!!🤮

Yet another bandaid solution. Would it not be better to help people stay in their hone countries?!

Quite so. The Press have done their bit & uncovered the story. Now we need to let the Parliamentary Committee do their bit, which they had better do, otherwise people like me will keep speculating!?😉

Agreed. I think the Press are desperate to make something out of this. They have done their bit & uncovered the story. Now, I prefer that we let the Parliamentary Committee do their bit.

If "Honest Bob" Jenrick was behind letting the Bibby Stockholm contract, I want to look down the back of his sofa. There might be £118m down there?!

Equally however Cruella Braverman could just have leased it as a holiday home?!

I have every expectation that Little has evidence of Robbins' refusal to hand-over the DV info. But, exactly why would Robbins have appointed Mandelson, as a political appointment, above the Civil Service appointment the FO favoured? Something does not add up here. We don't have the full picture?

Can anyone remind me, which clown in the Tory government was responsible for letting the Bibby Stockholm contract?
I just want to check down the back of their sofa, for £118M?!

How does this relate to the Bibby Stockholm contract debacle!?

Anyway, I might just point out that Johnson was ousted over his lying?!

All I have seen today are a few more parts of the puzzle. There is nothing yet conclusive, one way or the other. So yes, it is supposition but Cat Little's statement leans toward Starmer's version of events, but part of the problem here seems to have been Downing Street & the Cabinet Office?!

I suggest you stop reading & posting about it then?!

I want to know who exactly was behind Mandelson's appointment? Pretty sure it was McSweeney, but why did Starmer allow himself to become implicated & then implicated in the unnecessary cover up?

Have I said it is fact? No, it is my opinion, but an opinion based on observations of the actions of McSweeney & Starmer's seemingly odd dependence on him?!?

Bl**dy hell! If Trump's corrupt DOJ can't find evidence to support Patel, his days are numbered!!?

I think we will (eventually) find the finger pointing at McSweeney & a weak Starmer, for not reining him in!?! But, as ever, it is the cover-up that kills!!

Secretary to the US Navy leaves office amid illegal, ineffective & dangerous blockade operation?! Go figure?!?

Not all boomers! Sadly, far too many are scared of change, but I (for one) want to see a more progressive future.

While Russia may geographically be a transcontinental country, while Putin still squats on it's 'throne', it will never be welcome in Europe!

The Trump administration has absolutely zero understanding of the consequences of their own actions!! They are worse than friggin 2 year olds!?!

Unhooking the UK intelligence services from the US is a mammoth task & the UK could not afford to go it alone.
Integration with European countries is really the only option as the US can no longer be trusted.

Aside from the Internet restrictions, they could be talking about the UK?!

Russian forces occupying Ukraine = a "proxy war".....how does that work?!

If Putin wasn't in Ukraine, he'd be in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia or even Norway!!

Well worth the price, because if Putin wasn't fighting in Ukraine, he'd be in another European country!
