The reason this crisis is rumbling on and will continue to do so is that Starmer can't say the basic truth, which is that he appointed Mandelson for services rendered and they thought his association with Epstein was a bonus.
His nicknames were "the Prince of Darkness" and "the Dark Lord".
He was repeatedly sacked from government for lying.
His connections to Epstein and Russia were widely reported for years.
Yet Starmer still trying to claim he was somehow kept in the dark about Mandelson being a wrongun. Come on
...or indeed, caught short by an unexpected toilet break.
In China battery electric trucks and hybrid trucks now outsell diesel trucks for the first time.
Reform won’t say that Richard Tice’s companies paid the correct tax. Because they didn’t.
Why won’t they hold their deputy leader to the same standards they demand of others?

As well as this tweet, Temu Lex Luthor here, has also been quoted as saying "Most NHS nurses look like they're eating food banks out of business."
Don’t let him get his deposit back.
EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.
The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.
Well I wasted my fucking time being vice chair of Stonewall’s Trans Advisory Group, didn’t I?
If you want me I’ll be on an Algarve beach.
"More than half of Britons support rejoining EU 10 years on from Brexit vote.
Labour’s ‘halfway house’ approach risks losing support from progressives and ‘red wall’ voters"
Only hope that Starmer or his successor take notice.

In public, Wes Streeting is furiously back-pedaling from his earlier Palantir cheerleading.
But in private he is refusing to let us see what civil servants told him about Palantir
So, with @petergeoghegan.bsky.social, we are taking him to court to try and force him to hand over the briefings.
A photo of a tray with three sections empty. One has chopped carrot in it. The other has what can only be described as a posit of brown dog vomit and an insole liner of a sneaker (or a used panty liner from the mid 1700s). The kind of meal that would have you happily tossing yourself overboard.
NEW: Growing fears of food shortages on USS Tripoli & other US ships in the Middle East.
This photo is the kind of meals now being served. It was sent by a sailor to her family.
Families are now trying to send food parcels to the ships.

Down here in Sussex there definitely are Tory to LD voters - e.g. Eastbourne went from Tory to LD (2024 LD vote was bigger than Tory + Reform combined) and Well Heeled Chichester went Tory to LD. How this will play out in local elections next month is another matter...
Charles should pull a sickie, say that Johnny Prostate's playing up or something.
Hear, hear!
James Bembridge on X: Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I'd tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.
Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.
“If you criticise Palantir’s platform one more time, you are going to lose your job.”
Solidarity to all NHS workers opposing this toxic corporation. Shame on those bullying them. But they won’t stop us. We’re going to ditch Palantir.

Far more sensible for governments of every stripe to distance themselves from toxic Trump than to cosy up to him
They married last year and Marie-Thérèse relocated to #Alabama, applying for a green card - a long-term visa - that would grant her the right to remain in the US.
But she had not yet received the green card when Billy died suddenly in January, 😭 leaving her immigration status unclear.

BREAKING: Nigel Farage has FINALLY admitted that Reform UK lied about cutting council tax.
That means he knows HE lied repeatedly about whether they promised to.
Are Reform voters smart enough to reject a proven liar in the #LocalElections?
