- The amount of insipid, wishy-washy defence of Keir Starmer, is mildly irritating at best. There’s the “Hey look over there! Farage/Trump!” defence. You know, people can scrutinise more than one thing at a time, right? Then there’s “well at least he quickly apologised” Oops soz my bad.
- None of this even matters how actually bad a person Mandelson is. What matters are the risks of how a person such as that, might be perceived, based on risk of them getting involved with dodgy people like Epstein. That wasn’t even a risk, it was a known issue.
- With a bit of luck, it’ll turn out that The BBC’s plan was always to put Reform on so much that everyone complains and they completely stop and ignore them totally ignore them coming up to the next elections.
- If Starmer has stated that Mandelson lied to him, then he’s effectively stated that Mandelson lied to the Intelligence Services, or that the Intelligence Services didn’t do a good enough job. Also noted that Mandelson was made Lord President of the (Privy) Council, I think after resigning twice.
- I’m not a fan of Starmer, but… Wait.. there’s a “but”?!
- Starmer: I’d like to put forward Peter Mandelson to be the new UK ambassador to the United States British Intelligence Services: Peter who? Sure yeah, sounds fine.
- To be honest, I didn’t call for Keir Starmer to resign when he appointed Peter Mandelson (again), because the thought “Peter Mandelson? WTF? Really?! Are you insane..” just kinda whizzed past me and got lost among all the other completely absurd and stupid things going on.
- Soooo.. If The Prime Minister of The United Kingdom, resigns over Epstein and Mandelson (I think he should), yet Starmer isn’t even named in the Epstein files… …where does that leave The President of The United States? I mean, Trump’s literally a criminal.
- This is ridiculous! Keir Starmer could not possibly have known that Peter Mandelson would behave like Peter Mandelson!
- I wonder if Kemi Badenoch has information on the whereabouts of the French Crown Jewels that were stolen from the Louvre last year?
- Some people don’t get why Starmer is being blamed for the current Mandelson situation. Starmer brought back Peter Mandelson. Peter fucking Mandelson. Regardless of Jeffrey Epstein, it’s Peter Mandelson.
