    Mandelson was one of the main instigators of the cabal that drove Corbyn out as Labour leader and installed Starmer. McSweeney was a Mandelson protege.

    I’m astonished that both the royal family and Starmer are surviving this. UK politics almost as useless as the US.

      From what I’ve heard from politics reporters, Starmer has been a dead man waling since Galton &. Denton. The reasons he’s not yet gone are a) Labour don’t want to go through the messiness of a change of leader just before elections, and b) they need someone they can get rid of after they’re wiped out in the upcoming elections

    You might think that the country that made sure Jimmy Savile died free with a smile on his face would have learned the lesson not to protect and empower sexual predators, but you would be wrong.

      Pedophilia is only one of the crimes for which they protect each other. It’s an elite-impunity cabal. That’s what we need to break.

    They put him there because they knew tramp would like him and get along over common interests :/ not a good look either, but makes a little bit more sense than simply appointing the worst person you know.

      Or he bribed his way into the job knowing he’d make a ton more money with the info he’d feed his mates.
