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.
