it's important to be polite to the people who are politely removing the rights of your friends and family

I remember when Gordon Brown got raked over the coals for privately shrugging off an anti-immigrant racist as "that bigoted woman" with every paper *including The Guardian* being all "oh no how very DARE he???" but I guess it's OK for Mahmood to tell pro-immigrant anti-racists to "fuck right off"

It is the truth.

Why does it need to stand up in court? Who is on trial?

Who is barring somebody from becoming PM?

The pragmatic decision would be to not appoint somebody you know is corrupt and who has a relationship with a notorious paedophile

2019 like the rest of us. If I, some bum on the Internet, knew then I'm sure somebody as forensic as the former Director of Public Prosecutions and current Prime Minister knew.

Hey, here's an article about Mandelson's close relationship with Epstein from 2019 and a brief summary of his corruption when in government. If you think it's a good idea to appoint somebody like this to a senior role in government then cool 👍

Because Mandelson is a corrupt former MP who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein. They are rational reasons to not appoint somebody to a senior role in your government

Who called you a troll?

The evidence that Starmer appointed Mandelson is that Mandelson was in the role that Starmer appointed him to. What more do you need?

My accusation that Keir Starmer appointed Peter Mandelson? It's been pretty big news for months

Evidence of what? Are you denying that Mandelson was appointed by Starmer?

Are you serious?

Sorry mate but it was all facts. What nasty names?

He appointed the Prince of Darkness, a known corrupt politician and friend of notorious paedophile, and expects us to believe it was impossible for him to know it was a bad decision because of some process technicality.

I'm beginning to think that this Starmer fella is a Bad Guy

Time to go

He should get a bit of corruption and sleaze as a little treat

Didn't Starmer's Labour campaign on not being as corrupt and sleazy as the previous lot?

I feel it's fair to criticise them when it turns out they are exactly as sleazy and corrupt.

Why are Starmer and his government so determined to find jobs for the nonce-defenders?

Nobody

Absolutely nobody

Roadrunner:

He was raging and could barely control himself. All over somebody being called a liar for the second time?

I'm not sure he is suitable for the role if he flips over something so minor.

haha ok buddy. I'm sure it would have been exactly the same had the order Sultana and Anderson asked their questions had been reversed.

Watch the videos of both reactions to Starmer being called a liar and then try to tell me they are equivalent 👍

A very different reaction from Hoyle compared to how he spoke to Lee Anderson for the same thing earlier. Very odd.

Remember when Steve Reed did some antisemitism and wasn't kicked out of Labour?

Every single one of the other 649 MPs might be out of their depth as PM. It doesn't mean that Starmer isn't an arsehole who is out of his depth.

Even if he is the best of a bad bunch (and he isn't!) that doesn't mean he isn't an arsehole who is out of his depth

How would it work if Kanye West was invited to speak at a university?

Yeah they're all as bad as each other. Tory or Labour, they're equally corrupt and incompetent.

if that is the measure of a grown up party then none of them are

Absolutely absurd behaviour from the politicians we were assured would be slick professionals
