- This is how South Africa’s brilliant Zapiro sees things @dailymaverick.co.za @zapiro.bsky.social
- If there is one delightful outcome to the downfall of the House of #Mandelson it’s that image of his tighty whiteys. Satirists are already having fun with it & hopefully it’ll be the defining image of the slimebag. A bit like John Major in his baggy y-fronts.
- It’s amazing how brilliant well-resourced, editorially sound teams of journalists can really uphold the democratic process. Today, the #WashingtonPost is being chucked into the sea by its oligarchic owner for exactly the same reasons. It’s criminal. So many excellent workers cast loose.
- Today’s Media Show on Radio 4 ia fascinating dive into the journalistic work in exposing #Mandelson, Andrew & Sarah, & their involvement with #Epstein. Cudos to @pickardje.bsky.social & Tina Brown (AND @jkbjournalist.bsky.social) for doggedly pursuing this story. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

- Good. Not a moment too soon. Fuckity bye Peter #Mandelson. Hope to see you behind bars before too long.
- scoop: Mandelson about to quit House of Lords www.ft.com/content/d643...
- Let’s hope John Crace is correct about #Mandelson. I remember years ago, some opposition MP said something like: “No matter how many times he’s thrown into the Volga wrapped in chains, he somehow always rises again.”
- The sooner Peter #Mandelson fires himself into the sun, the better. So utterly sick of his lies, his smarm & his unrestrained greed. Fuck off already. Having to see all these arseholes & criminals leering out of the news headlines every time there’s a new #Epstein dump is maddening.
- Another underrated #CatherineOHara moment that is a regular ear worm for me, me with a soft spot for all terriers & an aspiration to have a little Norwich cutie at some future point. youtube.com/watch?v=fKWP...
- Can’t believe Catherine O’Hara is gone. Genuinely gutted. bsky.app/profile/merr...
- There’s almost never a day that goes by when I don’t do a little Moira Rose in my head. #CatherineOHara
