Quite enjoyable - that the main commentator on the Prime Minister's poor judgement is this much better politician, with much better sense. Corbyn: 'I think it's very serious for the Prime Minister'. #mandelsonfiles @skynewsrss.bsky.social @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social

These files confirm that Mandelson's malign influence runs through this Labour government. Starmer knew exactly the choice he was making when he appointed him. He has to go.

Scrapping jury trials is an affront to the very foundations of our democracy. From the moment this government was elected, it has come after the civil liberties we all hold dear. This is yet another outrageous assault on our fundamental freedoms. I will be voting against it.

Another nail in coffin for Starmer? What on earth possessed Starmer to appoint him Ambassador to USA? And where were security services in vetting as all this is just kompromat for Russia and USA? So how could Mandleson work for UK interests? Beyond shocking. Plain incompetence.

Officially, Boris Johnson was brought down by Chris Pincher. In reality, it was PartyGate and utter moral failure of his project. Officially Keir Starmer will be brought down by Mandelson. But he'd survive this easily if his project hadn't been so piss-weak, disappointing, and morally spineless.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
