Keir Starmer says it's 'staggering' he wasn’t told Mandelson failed security vetting - live updates There is renewed anger about the ex-US ambassador's appointment after it emerged the Foreign Office did not tell the PM about Mandelson's vetting.

Self serving liar and serial sponger, too busy polishing his own ego to do his job, is what happens when the monkey is made PM and the unelected organ grinder calls all the shots.

Gibraltar, Northern Ireland and Scotland voted to remain in the EU. Only Scotland has been completely excluded from any 'Brexit' related discussions.

Brexit Britain is in part thanks to Wales, but is predominantly the result of England's exceptionalism and a core hatred of 'foreigners'.

Access to our intelligence and military bases, both domestic and abroad, should be rescinded with immediate effect, until the Unhinged Shit-show of America (USA) starts to respect and value the 'allies' it is currently abusing.

The USA can't be trusted. The USA is a corrupt and rogue state.
