Wes Streeting saying on Today that Mandelson is ‘not the man we thought he was’ but the trouble is, he is exactly the man we thought, just on a much worse scale than almost anyone thought. And there is an alternative world where none of this is this govt’s problem, because they never gave him a job
I can see why this incoming govt - with the worst hand of any postwar govt - set a thief to charm a psycho (to protect us).
I very much doubt they knew the scale of it. Don’t know why.
There’s no good outcome. I think we have to accept that if Starmer goes this government will dissolve.
