He shouldn't of gone near mandelson. I know that and I assure you I am not the brightest.

The issue is judgement. Process rolls on from the original error of judgement. He says he takes responsibility for that error. People want to know why he chose mandelson the process is incedential. If he can't explain why then he needs to take responsibility and resign.

#mandygate all I am hearing is process, process process when the actual issue is judgement. Starmers judgement has been found wanting and it's hard to see how he can get round this.

Gabriel not getting sent off is farcical too. It’s corruption. Cuti Romero does that and he’s sent to the Phantom Zone with General Zod.

Liverpool commit two ‘tactical fouls’, no yellow cards. Pickford complains, yellow card. Liverpool have always been protected, always. #EVELIV

If Romano was treated like van dyke his disciplinary record would look vastly different

Rest in peace

I still fail to understand why so many Americans voted for him. He just screams vileness.

What happened to the deepest squad assembled at the cost £826 million

"But that was a fantasy"

Concerns Mandelson failed M16 vetting for US ambassador – but was appointed anyway The prime minister is facing serious questions after claims he ignored warnings from the security services to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador

The news that Mandelson failed security service vetting is NOT NEW.

The story broke 7 MONTHS AGO. See story below.

Keir Starmer and No.10 claim they only found out this week. But the Independent told No.10 that it had two sources confirming he failed vetting - in September 2025.

A web of deceit.

2 for 1 on beer before the game. Should be a free bar after what this lot have put us through

You wicked boy

Is it just me or is Trump's latest Jesus meme a homo-erotic portrail of his relationship with Jesus.

Very sad

Reminds me of the British version of Breaking Bad. Man finds he has cancer. Is referred to a specialist who treats him under the NHS. The end.

Also we are always given the larger defence budget at the expense of the welfare budget ultimatium.

There is a third way. Raise taxation and make a argument on whom that falls on.

It's really an indictment of the English soccer media that it took an American journalist 5000 miles away to write this piece, 18 months too late

(No shade on O'Hanlon, this is an excellent piece, just we've been screaming about this online for YEARS)

Americans knew he was crazy. They voted for the crazy show. The complaints are meaningless unless they are coupled with a sincere effort to remove him from office.

Will they accept telephone bids?

It's the classic Mel Gibson and Jesus meme where Mel is on set in normal clothes casually chatting to a very bloody Jesus (for those of you who don't know it).

OpenAI founder Sam Altman was profiled by the New Yorker last week in a piece that asked the question: Can he be trusted? Of course he can—he’s the most upstanding, reputable and energized tech CEO the world has ever seen. If you want, I can write a version that is longer, more sycophantic and that informs people IT’S PRIVATE EYE WEEK—new edition in shops and with subscribers from Wednesday.

Irish musician Moya Brennan dies aged 73 Moya Brennan, best known as the lead singer of the Grammy and BAFTA-winning group Clannad, died peacefully yesterday, surrounded by her family, at the age of 73.

So sad to learn of the passing of Moya Brennan of Clannad. For me, her singing was the bridge between the old traditions of Irish music and something new and vibrant as contemporary sounds and influences came into it.
Her instrument was her voice, and it was stunning.

Should be part of his next test.

In the 1930s, Oswald Mosley claimed to be a patriot, while his British Union of Fascists was secretly funded by the Italian government. We are just beginning to grasp how much of the far right in the UK today has been funded by Viktor Orbán and Russian oil money.
Their "patriotism" is always a con.
