While the media concentrates on the Starmer’s Mandelson disaster, just a reminder that Israel is still ethnically cleansing Palestinians in The West Bank and killing Palestinians in Gaza by drone strikes
Do not forget the Palestinians
I do find it remarkable that Starmer, a former Director of Public Prosecutions, was comfortable with Mandelson’s appointment as US Ambassador without completion of security clearance
Seriously?
Would a teacher be placed in a school before background & criminal record checks?
So how come a senior ambassador‘s position was?
Yesterday, Starmer was forced to defend his perfectly rational decision to hire the Prince of Darkness as ambassador to the US. Starmer had initially claimed ignorance, insisting he had no idea he was prime minister at the time of the appointment.

"The foreign secretary's office, were under constant pressure [to appoint Mandelson]" Olly Robbins tells MPs.
Says there was "constant chasing" and "very frequent" phone calls from Number 10 to rush his appointment through
Interesting that Ollie Robins used to work for Hakluyt a lobbying company that has had senior fossil fuel executives on its board & has advised Thames Water on how to avoid privatisation
Murky world riddled with conflicts of interest
Let's remind ourselves of those 10 p̶l̶e̶d̶g̶e̶s̶ lies...
Enough is enough.
Starmer must go.
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

We need to destroy the lie that taxes fund government spending. They don’t.
It’s this lie which keeps so many in poverty while the rich line their pockets.
I wonder exactly who's been greasing this charlatan's palm?

How many more people are going to have to resign for Keir Starmer's decision to ignore the advice of every single person who told him not to appoint Peter Mandelson?
But for me, the biggest question regarding mandelson's appointment is whether there is a government within a government in Westminster which is beyond ministerial reach. Harold Wilson always thought so. Will this debacle prove that? It is the most plausible explanation for what has happened.
Excellent question and a simple one that any journalist could ask
Dunno about prison, she looks like she should be in quarantine for rabies!
