- Reposted by Mark BoylanQuite 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
- Reposted by Mark Boylan“The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni. Is that fair?” Oli Dugmore It’s absolutely NOT fair. This outrageous scandal must end
- Reposted by Mark BoylanSo Team Starmer couldn’t ’possibly have known’ Mandelson was lying about his relationship with a convicted paedophile. Despite mountains of publicly available evidence. Yet they spent £30,000 on private investigators trying to dig dirt on journalists who asked them troublesome questions? 🤔
- 🔴 BREAKING: Labour Together paid controversial PR firm £30k to investigate journalists who were digging into how its undeclared funding Reporters from Sunday Times, Guardian and other outlets targetted *And* Morgan McSweeney knew about it Full story: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-...
- Reposted by Mark BoylanGent in black, "Isn't the issue really about how people like Mandelson has got through the system" #BBCQT "Doesn't that make the case for having people in the Houses of Parliament who are ordinary people"
- Reposted by Mark BoylanLawyers, genocide scholars, the ICJ, and the UN Commission of Inquiry state the Israeli govt's actions in Gaza amount to genocide - so why does the UK still maintain there is no plausible risk of genocide, in the face of overwhelming evidence? Why does the UK continue to be complicit?
- Reposted by Mark BoylanLeft: Former West Midlands Chief Constable Craig Guildford apologised for serious failings and left after Starmer and Mahmood wanted him out Right: Starmer has apologised for appointing Mandelson. If apology and loss of confidence were enough to force Guildford out, why not the same for the PM?
- Reposted by Mark Boylanit’s exciting for people who care about Westminster chess, that they’ll publish the documents about how Mandelson got appointed, but for people who care about the UK, id like them to publish the full details of the deals he negotiated with the US tech & pharma interests on (supposedly) our behalf
- Reposted by Mark BoylanIt'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. 🧵
- Reposted by Mark BoylanZack Polanski's ( @zackpolanski.bsky.social ) strongly worded open letter to Wes Streeting, rightly urging him to rip up the Palantir contract in light of the Mandelson Epstein revelations

- Reposted by Mark BoylanGiven what we now know about one of ‘our’ main negotiators, why should we think this was negotiated with our interests in mind?
- so hang on a minute, the UK (significantly, erm, “represented“ in negotiations by Mandelson) has just signed a trade deal with the US that gives into their demands for NHS to pay way more for medicines…. & yet Streeting won’t even tell us the barest details? 🤯 www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
- Reposted by Mark BoylanIt 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 Mark BoylanThe UK government pinned its case for declaring Palestine Action a terrorist organisation largely on the trial of the so-called Filton Six, claiming they had proved the group to be violent. A jury today found none of them guilty of any of the charges.
- Reposted by Mark BoylanAnd Lebedev. It beggars belief that we have a son of a KGB agent in the House of Lords. Johnson should be investigated by the police for appointing him.
- Yes investigate 'Russian asset' Mandelson, but how many times does it need saying, investigate ALL the potential Russian Assets, most particularly Nigel Farge, Boris Johnson and, imo, George Galloway. And many more probably. #PMQs #RussianAssets #Mandelson #Farage #Labour

- Reposted by Mark BoylanIf 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 ... inews.co.uk/news/politic...

- Reposted by Mark BoylanPleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.

- Reposted by Mark BoylanActual critique in the thread but also this is so embarrassing! It’s just pure cringe all the way down! It’s so patently and obviously a stupid grift that will make nearly every normal person in Barnsley’s life worse! And they’re boasting about it!!

- Reposted by Mark BoylanAlso note the silence of Imperial/White Feminists who spend their lives harassing trans women, women of colour, and clamouring for bombing countries ‘over there’ to save ‘those’ women. NOT a word! #epstein #connectthedots
- Of course the elite who harm women and children for fun also plan and execute heinous war crimes and crimes against humanity including genocides at unimaginable scales for their day jobs! We must connect the dots on how personal and political are inextricable. #Epstein

- Reposted by Mark BoylanSometimes the propaganda is simple but consequential. The basic decision of the news media to refer to a chemical weapon that is banned as a war crime from being used in armed conflict as "tear gas" has helped normalize its use across the U.S. This is just aggravated assault.
- On Tear-Gassing Children The Federal Assault on the ICE Out! Labor March in Portland crimethinc.com/PortlandTear... On January 31, ICE agents attacked a demonstration in Portland, blanketing a whole neighborhood in tear gas and injuring a number of small children. An account from eyewitnesses.

- Reposted by Mark BoylanI've been coming across the term 'lethal mutations' in relation to the use of research in the classroom and I'm sorry but that's a silly term. They're not 'lethal' and if there are 'mutations' that probably arises from assuming limited research applies more widely. Use a bit of sense and balance!
- Reposted by Mark BoylanAnd yet, in the House of Lords, we still have Lebedev - a national security risk if ever there was one; Mone - who defrauded all of us of tens of millions - and countless other unsavoury characters elevated by Johnson, Cameron and all the rest of their corrupt ilk.
- Reposted by Mark BoylanQuestions about Mandelson, his heinous crimes and how much Starmer knew. Dan Norris, elected as Lab MP, arrested - 2 counts of rape. Tulip Siddiq sentenced to 4 years. I wonder why Labour have made 3 attack videos about me in the last 24 hours? They're done. Finished. Toast.

- Reposted by Mark BoylanOf course he can, as can Mone & many others. All this bleating about how complex it is: it shouldn't be, they should all be abolished, but meantime a simple mechanism should exist. It involves creating a new law! So? That's what they're there for, to create laws! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

- Reposted by Mark BoylanI’ve always wondered why misleading Parliament is a cardinal sin for MPs but misleading voters is just considered business as usual.
- Reposted by Mark BoylanPeter Mandelson should not be an unelected parliamentarian for life. And neither should any of the other 800+ peers eligible to sit in the House of Lords. It should be abolished & replaced with a (small) elected second chamber. Another broken promise from Starmer.

- Reposted by Mark BoylanLabour have sunk in the polls & no longer have enough support to beat Reform in the Gorton & Denton by-election or across the country. The Greens support continues rising, with people switching from Labour especially. Voting Labour in Gorton & Denton will let Reform in.
