Sit down, you're embarrassing yourself.

He knew enough not to appoint him in the first place. Bad judgement.

Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today

Starmer is the one who exercised bad judgement in appointing Mandleson in the first place. Buck stops with him.

Especially as he comes across as a pretty competent, decent human being.

How much information do you need to have known that Mandleson was a wrong 'un 🤷‍♀️

Pathetic.

Trump is not Jesus, he's not even a doctor 🤷‍♀️

I hate politics that pitch people against each other.

Oh...

Thankfully, most of us can concentrate on more than one thing at a time.

Considering how big the story is, I'm surprised it's only fifteen.

It's an endorsement on Sarwars leadership and I'm prepared to give it a huge swerve.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani.

Obama: What’s his first name?

Bedtime. After two weeks, lurgy is (hopefully) behind me. Onwards...

Flag's fake enough for me.

Jeezo... Behave yourselves 😟

It's easier than you think

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under absolutely no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you choose to spend the entire weekend reading a good book, making multiple cups of tea, and indulging in a borderline scandalous amount of cinnamon rolls.
