- Reposted by Lord Dom BTimes: The Metropolitan Police is expected to announced on Tuesday evening that Mandelson is being investigated on suspicion of misconduct in public office, an offence that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
- Why would anyone in Mandelson’s position, knowing there was more as yet unreleased dirt on him, even bother, as he did, to go on Kuenssberg’s BBC show in an attempt at reputation rescue?
- Reposted by Lord Dom BThe Mandelson–Epstein emails demand action, not excuses. It’s time for the Government to act, bring forward legislation to strip Peter Mandelson of his peerage and reform our political system.
- Reposted by Lord Dom B"Of course, how was Mandelson to know that Epstein, who seemed so plausible, was a wrong ‘un? Well, one clue was that, at the very moment Mandelson was forwarding this stuff, Epstein WAS IN PRISON. He had pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution."
- In The Telegraph? Still, I’ll take it.
- Fine but Starmer too is wrong about Brexit and will remain so while he peddles the myth that it can be made to work within the parameters he needlessly set, keeping us out of the single market or a customs union. He is not the innocent inheritor of the Brexit mess. www.itv.com/news/2026-02...

- Reposted by Lord Dom BDonald Trump is mentioned hundreds of times in the latest batch of Epstein files. Among the new documents is a list compiled by the FBI last year of allegations made against Trump by callers to its national Threat Operation Center tip line.
- What would that look like then? The ruinous no-deal peddled by Farage that would be even worse than Johnson’s threadbare arrangement? These continuity Brexiters have spent ten years looking at a turd and convincing themselves it’s gold.

- Reposted by Lord Dom BI'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files more to follow www.ft.com/content/c950...
- Reposted by Lord Dom BTranslation: “A decade on, we’re still having to rely on a tautology to avoid defining what we did in terms which are amenable to metrics & measures of success or failure, because we know that by every measurable criterion the thing we did was a massive, unmitigated flop.”
- Indeed. Same obsessive attachment to fiction, same systemic inability to deliver, same misreading of the UK’s place in the world, same parochialism and xenophobia. Same tired, reheated bullsh*t.
- Reposted by Lord Dom BIt's extraordinary that *relatively* moderate, Remain-supporting Tories, or centrists if you prefer, have gone from from leading governments in 2010, 2015 & technically 2017 to being entirley unrepresented in mainstream UK politics.

- Reposted by Lord Dom Bgood article on the hateful Matthew Goodwin hopenothate.org.uk/state-of-hat...
- Reposted by Lord Dom BPrecisely. I wonder if there will come a point, after nearly all of the Johnson/Brexit-era fanatics have defected to Reform & Badenoch has been booted out as scapegoat for the May local election result, when the remainder of the Tory Party realises that they need to offer something different.
- The Conservatives have been tacking to the Right since the Brexit referendum. It’s lost them vote share, MPs and credibility. The solution? Continue to alienate your moderates, erase any USP and make yourselves indistinguishable from Reform. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
- “On stage at her defection, Braverman shared Reform's diagnosis that Britain is broken.” Don’t know which is more distasteful: wreckers and charlatans fleeing the Tory Party to escape blame for the mess they now decry or the likelihood that a good many voters will still indulge them.

- The flight of the dreadful to Reform would be funny if they weren’t in with a chance of winning the next election. As it is, Farage may end up parading an even bigger horror show of a cabinet.
- Labour could be making hay from Farage’s obsequiousness towards Trump ahead of the May council elections but obviously senior figures in the party think it better to engage in internecine warfare instead. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
- At St Pancras Eurostar station today, I happened on the new EES biometric recognition stands, brought to you courtesy of the people who promised us less bureaucracy and more freedom but delivered the opposite. There they stand, little monuments to the stupidity and dishonesty of our political élite.
- The promise The reality
- The generation born immediately after the war - which conclusively backed Brexit and Boris Johnson and now disproportionately supports Farage - has a lot to answer for.
- “I’ve got a great relationship with Donald Trump.” www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/nige...
- A lot of those who were so attached to sovereignty back in the day now appear less keen when it comes to the sovereignty of other countries.
- Remember the two state visits the UK gave him (when no one else has given him one)? And that joint press conference at which Starmer fawned all over him like a lickspittle? Trump doesn’t. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
- Reposted by Lord Dom BLeft: Nigel Farage, "Why does Keir Starmer think that the French President is a better friend to this country than the American President?" Right: Nigel Farage, "President Trump using economic threats against the country that's been considered your closest ally is wrong, its bad"
- Reposted by Lord Dom BWhen are people going to be held accountable for the nonsense slop and puff they emit.
- Reposted by Lord Dom BI wonder why Nigel Farage has pulled out of The Laura Kuenssberg TV programme this morning? 🤔
- For years a certain type of American would lecture the world on the superiority of the US’s democratic model. Trump has been useful in exposing its disastrous flaws.
- Someone tell the US Embassy this episode is still available on ITV-X.
- Do they count for nothing then those two state visits we’ve given him (when no other country has offered him one)? If this comes to pass, it’ll be interesting to see the spin from the Brexit loons who cheered when the UK escaped tariffs as punitive as those imposed on EU exports.

- Their gibbering internecine madness goes proper high-octane.
- Reposted by Lord Dom BLatest on 'Honest' Bob Jenrick joining Reform.
- Judy sacking Punch is hilarious obviously but the Tories’ problem remains. How do they stop leakage to Reform while distinguishing themselves from Reform? Johnson’s hollowing out of the moderate wing of the party back in the day may have been its death warrant.
- On the contrary, we got exactly the Brexit made possible by: - voters who backed Boris Johnson in 2019 in order to “get Brexit done” - Labour MPs who supported his trade deal. Were you one of them? Let’s ask ChatGPT…

- “Betrayal of Brexit” is laughable gibberish. It’s like saying “betrayal of illness”. Brexit itself is the betrayal and unpicking it the remedy. Fortunately more of us are waking up to the fact.

- Reposted by Lord Dom BAs Paul-Henri Spaak, Belgian PM, NATO Sec Gen & EEC founding father, said "There are only two kinds of states in Europe: small states, & small states that have not yet realised they are small". Europe, w >500 m people & GDP (PPP) > that of US, needs to be more united to stand up to global bullies.
- The post-Brexit landscape offers a stark example of how notional sovereignty can constrain and isolate rather than liberate and empower. Faced with a reckless sociopath in the US and severed ties with the EU, where exactly does Britain’s influence lie? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- 54% back political outfits which between them gave us Brexit, the PPE scandal, Partygate and Truss. 73% support parties which are resolved to keeping us out of the single market or a customs union. British politics, it seems, remains mired in confusion, denial and demands for the impossible.

- Reposted by Lord Dom BMy assessment of Starmer's latest EU gambit. His rhetoric on "alignment" may be getting bolder but the trade-offs remain the same. The UK will not get much closer alignment with the single market unless it accepts free movement + budget contributions. ukandeu.ac.uk/new-year-sam...
- Reposted by Lord Dom BI broadly agree with this. But the key question is not whether Europeans condemn Trump's action, but whether they draw policy conclusions from the last year, & act on them. In Feb '25 Merz spoke of achieving independence from the US. He was right - but how much have the EU & UK done since then?
- Europe’s failure to condemn Trump’s illegal aggression in Venezuela isn’t just wrong – it’s stupid. My piece @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- That non-existent European Army the Brexiters were so terrified of is starting to look like a pretty good idea.
- Reposted by Lord Dom BPolish PM Tusk: No-one will take seriously a weak and divided Europe: neither enemy nor ally. It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.
