Great news from Hungary!

Re the madness of Trump-It really seems there is nothing that ‘crosses the line’ so I won’t be surprised if we see him strip naked and have a dump on someone’s lap during a press conference any time soon and that’ll be acceptable.

Yankee names crack me up. Randy George sounds like a character from the TV series Benidorm.
No disrespect to Mr George meant.

I predict a phone theft

The sleazy Tories eh? Although didn’t they sack Prof Nutt over his opinion on risk
taking?

Bloody David Cameron: he “cut the green crap”
inflicted austerity upon us,
took us out the EU and caused chaos for SEND.
Just a few examples-but how the hell did he get away with it?

he’d already been sacked twice but sir K thought Mandy was worth the risk.
What a shit sandwich

Potty-mouthed Penny should wind her neck in

Here in sunny Bognor it’s been a dry few days but Southern Water is discharging filth into the sea.
Direct debit has been cancelled.

A responsible action taken. Here in the UK we just swim in shite.

Hoyle does one good thing and the plod dob on him.

Peter Mandelson, the Russian superyacht and the scandal we completely misread When Britain's most powerful political fixer was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu, we called it Yachtgate and moved on. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paed...

NEW: This is a terrific deep dive into Epstein & Russia by @professorshaw.bsky.social for @thenerve.news which starts with ‘Yachtgate’, Mandelson’s 2008 scandal involving Nat Rothschild, George Osborne & Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska

Let’s hope this triggers some positive change, urgently

I’m disappointed there isn’t a photo of Mandy being released on bail.
Media protection or just unable to capture a snap of the Prince of Darkness I wonder

Met Police confirm Peter Mandelson has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Puts a new slant on ‘hard working royals’

David Cameron

As SEND is in the headlines, let’s remind ourselves who the architect behind EHCPs and claimed they would reduce the number of SEND pupils

I’m slightly disappointed plod didn’t burst out of a huge birthday cake (as far as we know)

I hope they bring him pizza when he demands food

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, BBC News reported reut.rs/4s0NSPL

I was walking through an upmarket area of London and I saw Nadim Zahawi walking towards me, and I felt so tired of seeing his face, and he crossed the road when he saw my HMRC briefcase

I wonder if Spaffer Johnski will appear in those files?

LIEU: These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime and more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation into former Prince Andrew. So why did you shut down this investigation?

BONDI: I don't believe you asked Merrick Garland these questions


LIEU: You are in charge

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’
