- Reposted by GavinMandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

- The thing I am quickly realising with this Mandelson shit is that my spidey-sense for a wrong 'un is pretty well tuned. We're told these are "good people" when they're appointed but you can smell the stench of corruption on them a mile away. Now imagine how bad Farage will eventually turn out to be.
- Reposted by GavinIt is worth recalling that the position of U.K. Ambassador to the US was not vacant at the time the Prime Minister chose to appoint Peter Mandelson to the role. A highly competent and respected woman was replaced.
- Reposted by GavinOne by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

- Reposted by GavinWhat I find amusing about the Express' cinematic universe is that the UK is simultaneously free and thriving thanks to Brexit and poor and oppressed thanks to the current government. This dichotomy is also reflected in Mail/Telegraph etc but its at its most acute in the Express.

- If this Christian Romero rumour is true and he is leaving at the end of the season (and I 100% don't blame him, I'd leave if I could), I hope he goes down in a blaze of glory and tears the whole place down on his way out. Let's get an insider view of EVERYTHING that's wrong with the club. #COYS

- Reposted by GavinIf you were a Liverpool fan & your club were emulating how Spurs are run, w/ concomitant results, & you said 'we shouldn't look down the table trying to be Spurs,' people would understand you. When I point out we're becoming Brentford, people are like 'hey Brentford are a good team, they stay up.'
