Is there a finer example of what has gone wrong with Government over the last 30 years? That this obviously corrupt, venal shit made it back into power after his first disgrace was bad enough, but for him to be caught at it and forced to resign on three separate occasions just takes the biscuit.
Now we have allegations that he fed Jeffrey Epstein commercially sensitive information on the quiet, which should be enough to secure him some serious jail time if proven. |  |

Starmer on very thin ice tonight. Apparently Mandelson failed the vetting but Starmer still put him through. |

Starmer should be toast, he stood up in Parliament and said the vetting process was not strong enough, the vetting process rejected Mandelson and then the vetting process was overriden. |  |

If he even had a slither of a backbone and any sense of honour he’d step down first thing tomorrow morning.
He won’t. |  |

He'll try to brazen it out, just as he has the half dozen other things that he's gotten away with.
Boris Johnson had a bit of cake and resigned. Starmer lied to Parliament. Repeatedly. | |

If, as seems likely, they get annihilated, he's toast. Someone will challenge him. The Ginger Growler probably. | |

“ To change Britain, we must change ourselves – we need to clean up politics. No more VIP fast lanes, no more kickbacks for colleagues, no more revolving doors between government and the companies they regulate.I will restore standards in public life with a complete crackdown on cronyism”.
No wonder nobody believes a single word that comes out of his mouth. | |

The maddest thing is, he was probably the sanest and best option Labour had to replace Corbyn.
The standards of UK politicians these days is in the toilet. One or two are halfway capable, the rest are absolutely useless, but the current front bench might just be the worst in history. | |

I find it incredible former Welsh industrial areas will turn their backs on Labour
It’s probably why plaid look a strong bet as Reform seem as disinterested in Wales
And Farage being “ posh”
It’s also why greens will get votes
What a state we are in | |

The top dog in the Foreign Office has fallen on his sword now and resigned over this .
Sir Olly Robinson has fallen on his sword albiet with a decent Pension Plan to see him ok .
Starmers spin doctors and PR advisors are working overtime tonight to get his side of the story across later .
Mandy and Randy Andy are now the go to stories for The Press and sometimes decent reporting , Beeb for all its faults is still trying to be neutral and not point fingers .
The Guardian reporting has spooked this useless Starmer into a corner .
Accept a cover up at the highest level over Mandelson or resign yourself . | | | |

Luckily for Starmer he is out of the country (again) for the next few days as he’s gone to Paris to have a vital top level cwtch with Macron. | |

Mandelson appointed as US Ambassador in Dec 2024. Olly Robbins starts work at the FCDO in Jan 2025. So basically Starmer is trying to pin the blame on someone who wasn't even working there at the time. | |

Thinking back to Labour's pre-election promise to restore probity to politics, and after their excoriating criticism of the Tories for parties and so on, very few would have predicted that things would go so wrong so quickly. The "adults" entering the room have shown all the political nous of the most naive student activists, albeit with an added tendency to trouser freebies. In an ideal world we would go to an early general election. | | | |

Well said.
It's a shame that none of the parties that are largely populated by adults are ready to govern yet either. I think until they are we are stuck with this Labour clownshow and because thngs willl get invariably worse there is the real chance of civil unrest worse than the early 80s.
If Epsom is anything to go by the OB have already been briefed on what to do and which group to target... |  |

And Labour voters conspicuous by their absence on here
It was never enough to blame the Tories
These are worse , very much so
Their damage will be greater | |

Starmer is claiming he wasn’t made aware that Mandelson had failed the vetting process until this week. Well if that is the case surely it would have been his duty to return to the house and correct the record at the earliest opportunity? Instead of waiting and hoping he doesn’t get ousted by the newspapers?
Boris Johnson was forced to resign in very similar circumstances. It could be argued considering the number of victims of Epstein ranging in the thousands that this transgression is considerably worse. | |

The most ludicrous aspect of this whole ordeal is the assumption that someone like Peter Mandelson could ever pass any sort of vetting process in the first place given his history. We’ve known what a dodgy malaka he is for forty years. The news that he failed should not be a massive surprise to anybody, especially the Prime Minister. | |

I wonder if the vetting process only reflected what was already known, in which case the foreign office could be excused for not raising further concerns. | |
