Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist
Quite funny that Starmer's allies are waking up to this point now …
Cuts to Winter Fuel… not in the manifesto
Disability benefit cuts… not in there either
Cutting jury trials… also not there
Digital ID… no mention
Raising employers NI… nope
Freezing tax threholds… nah
Contracts with Palantir… no
We joke but if you look, every mention of Peter on social media since 2019 has people responding with these photos, so I think we can assume important people were just mentally filing this as mean-spirited trolling or conspiracy theory. When they could see exactly what it was, with their own eyes.
One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.
Anyway, yeah. The overwhelming impression one gets from so many of these emails is that a lot of them are guys who have never had a real, serious friendship with a woman in their lives.
Which sucks for them, but also sucks for every woman who has to deal with them, ever.
Anas Sarwar says today of Peter Mandelson: “I'm utterly disgusted and furious about the entire situation … He never should have been the ambassador to the US.”
For context, here’s Sarwar in April 2025 love-bombing his ‘old friend’.
They think we are stupid.
He is an amoral opportunistic chancer.
‘Peter Mandelson is a case study for the way the Westminster ecosystem protects its own.
Protecting the system, and the powerful men who feel entitled to benefit from it, matters more than protecting the people it harms.’

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister.
Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed
I just reread a Ta-Nehisi Coates piece from 2018 where he addresses the claim that Trump is too incoherent to have an ideology and responds, no, he clearly has an ideology and it’s white nationalism. It’s only got clearer since then yet some people still insist otherwise
again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are
his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead
A truly hideous right wing smear campaign against these six activists for exercising their free speech rights to protest - and confronted with the evidence all six have been acquitted.
Remember the reports of Palestine Action activists swinging a sledgehammer at security guards? It didn't happen.
This is the 'evidence' Starmer used to label the group terrorist. This is why you can get 14 years in prison just for holding a placard supporting them.

If this story is accurate, then all those stories about Keir Starmer meticulously selecting only the highest-quality candidates in 2024 were horseshit and, in reality, we are now governed by a crop of MPs personally selected by the financially compromised ‘best pal’ of a child sex trafficker.
Huge story in @theipaper.com
"[Mandelson] was very involved in all the details; I think he enjoyed it. He was involved in all the personalities and the mechanics including asking the question of who do we want in which seat"
Probably a breach of GDPR laws too ...

NEW | Journalists who used Peter Mandelson as a resource for years are now pretending to be surprised about his character…
Shock! as 'Prince of Darkness' revealed to be a dodgy, duplicitous wrong 'un
brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/shock-as-p...
If Starmer is serious (he's not, ofc) he'd introduce strict new anti-lobbying laws, bring in firewalls against revolving doors, and undertake a deep, unflinching investigation into financial and influence ties in politics, with criminal sanctions.
Any journalist that’s interviewing Wes Streeting but not properly quizzing him about his longstanding closeness to Peter Mandelson and why he’s been deleting tweets that illustrate that, should be seen as having zero credibility.
It says a lot about how government works in Britain that people will pretend you’re not a massive sleazebag for decades but the moment the calculus shifts to negative they will mobilise every resource to destroy you
It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵
Britain must be the only country in the world where politicians get more stick for mispronouncing Epstein's surname than for making use of his services
Harvard professor Robert Trivers tried to get Jeffrey Epstein in touch with Norman Finkelstein. Instead of accepting, Norman sent a reply calling Alan Dershowitz a pedophile rapist and saying Trivers should be ashamed for defending them, and both should be strangled instead
Walthamstow please stop and look - Mohammad Jaeem went missing after school today locally. He left his phone at home - his parents and police are trying to search for him. contact police or call:

Last seen Hale End Road/Macdonald Road, after school. Please share.
The Mandelson revelations are going to rewrite the entire New Labour era. Mandelson was operating as a paid adviser to Jeffrey Epstein & as a senior minister acting to directly serve the interests of Epstein & the global corporate class not the govt he was a minister in.
