The Mandelson affair: inside the scandal of a century Mandelson's fall from grace reveals a very Labour weakness

In this brilliant report from @pronouncedalva.bsky.social 👇

A detail everyone is ignoring or forgetting.

Peter Mandelson masterminded Keir Starmer's reshuffle days before the scandal broke.

That is, while he was the US Ambassador.

This seems like quite an important detail!

Documents reveal iwi hui cut from Treaty review, replaced by Minister-appointed group OIA emails reveal plans for regional hui with iwi Māori were cut from the Treaty review, replaced by agency engagement and a small advisory group ahead of new legislation.

Goldsmith told officials to delete engagement with iwi.

As far back as 2023 (a year after parliament protest) this infographic captures the domestic+transnational #disinformation ecosystem linked to Cyclone Gabrielle. The report has much more detail. Climate change denial's scale, & sophistication in NZ is far greater now, which I also flag. #nzpol

Just started watching the new Running Man and the premise is they can’t afford flu medication for their child so he goes on the game show to risk his life for the money for flu medication

So it’s Dystopian future where children can’t go to a walk in clinic or hospital

President Trump says there will be no military action against Iran and the Islamic Republic due to the intercession of Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Asim Munir.

Trump announces he that he is going to extend the ceasefire for an undetermined amount of time, seemingly giving the Islamic Republic as much time as it needs, even though it wasn’t asking for it and the stalemate was due to its unwillingness to move off its non-negotiables.

"A lot of our guys have been through the boys' homes [...] and they're getting three to five years for burglary and the person that sexually violated them [...] because of good character in the past he's getting 24 months and out in 18. So it's really traumatising for those guys," Clearwater said.
