Really not a fan of this new conception of masculinity that’s all whiny entitlement and permissiveness with none of the responsibility.
"Low-income households will get [free] plug-in solar panels to cut their energy bills, the Government has announced."
This is how you do a just transition.

The new report on FBI Director Kash Patel cites more than TWO DOZEN sources describing his leadership as a “management failure” and national security risk.
The White House and DOJ didn’t deny the allegations, but deflected.
Patel was the only one who issued a direct rebuttal.
That speaks volumes.

Wage growth is slowing. Inflation is on the rise. Consumer sentiment has hit a record low. Millions are struggling to make ends meet.
But corporate profits have skyrocketed despite massive layoffs and the stock market is up.
New "golden age" for who exactly?
If you are buying a new car now, why go for the (more expensive) polluting option?
EVs are now on average cheaper to buy than ICEs, and definitely lower on running costs. They are nicer to drive and better for the environment.

Olly Robbins says No 10 wanted Mandelson in Washington as soon as possible and there was “constant pressure” to get him in place as soon as possible pre-inauguration
He also says that Cabinet Office didn’t think vetting was even necessary for Mandelson
But Robbins says the Foreign Office insisted
The report in the Independent that Mandelson had failed security vetting was actually raised in the Commons by Lib Dem MP Rachel Gilmour on 16 September 2025
“a source from MI6 has reportedly claimed that they failed to clear Mandelson”
The Prime Minister says he found out on Tuesday
the Mandelson Russia links alone should have triggered more curiosity before his appointment
BBC News December 2024:
‘Farage has meanwhile said that he "might disagree with Mandelson on his politics, but he's a very intelligent man" and would be good choice for ambassador.’
Lies Industry UK - Sopel from News Agents podcast now:
“Starmer must resign because he appointed Mandelson.”
Sopel then:
“Mandelson is a class act.”

Continued Financial Ties: Records indicate that while Mandelson resigned from the board in 2017, he continued to have a shareholding in Sistema until at least 24 June 2021.
Mandelson was still listed as a non-executive director of Sistema in 2016 in the House of Lords register of interests. He continued to hold a shareholding in the Russian group until at least 2020, the Lords register shows. The due diligence also noted that Mandelson's lobbying firm Global Counsel included Chinese clients TikTok and Shein and said that he was "seen as an advocate for closer UK-China relations".
Lol
Mandelson served as a non-executive director of the Russian conglomerate Sistema until June 2017. I.e. After Russia's 2014 invasion and occupation of Crimea.
Sistema held a majority stake in RTI, a defense technology firm producing radar systems for Russia’s missile early warning system.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his former Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney rushed through the appointment of Peter Mandelson as the UK’s ambassador to the US, despite being warned of “concerns” about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Russia, newly released documents reveal.
Irony died a long time ago, but this is classic
“You couldn’t make it up”
Sir John Whittingdale, honorary vice-president and founding member of the Conservative Friends of Russia wants a full review of the security threat posed by Peter Mandelson.
This morning, the BBC ran an interview with Peter Mandelson, the self-described 'best pal' of Jeffrey Epstein and until he was sacked, the UK ambassador to Washington. Mandelson's firm, Global Counsel, also represents Palantir, the US surveillance defence company founded by Trump ally, Peter Thiel. When Keir Starmer visited Washington, a trip arranged by Mandelson, he had only two meetings: one with Trump and one with Palantir.
"That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, that he will be graciously pleased to give directions to require the Government to lay before this House all papers relating to Lord Mandelson's appointment as His Majesty's Ambassador to the United States of America, including but not confined to the Cabinet Office due diligence which was passed to Number 10, the Conflict of Interest Form Lord Mandelson provided to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), material the FCDO and the Cabinet Office provided to UK Security Vetting about Lord Mandelson's interests in relation to Global Counsel, including his work in relation to Russia and China, and his links to Jeffrey Epstein, papers for, and minutes of, meetings relating to the decision to appoint Lord Mandelson, electronic communications between the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff and Lord Mandelson, and between ministers and Lord Mandelson, in the six months prior to his appointment, minutes of meetings between Lord Mandelson and ministers in the six months prior to his appointment, all information on Lord Mandelson provided to the Prime Minister prior to his assurance to this House on 10 September 2025 that 'full due process was followed during this appointment, electronic communications and minutes of all meetings between Lord Mandelson and ministers, Government officials and special advisers during his time as Ambassador, and the details of any payments made to Lord Mandelson on his departure as Ambassador and from the Civil Service."
The Conservatives in the UK Parliament are now demanding records for all papers relating to Mandelson’s “interests in relation to Global Counsel, including his work in relation to Russia and China, and his links to Jeffrey Epstein.”
His firm Global Counsel represents Palantir in the UK.
