I don't understand the problem. The more we learn the clearer it is that Mandelson was the ideal man to be the US ambassador.

Don't you just love the western propaganda machine. A couple of primitive drones over Israel—existential threat. Thousands of tonnes of munitions carelessly dropped on Iran by the most powerful military force in the world—preemptive defensive action.

Amused at the curling victim-blaming. The Swedes are criticised for talking about Canada breaking the rules. Don't they realise how privilege works? It's just a microcosm of the real world.

Government agencies routinely act unlawfully to take hundreds of thousands of pounds from old people who are unable to protect themselves. Appeals processes are designed to take so long they're dead before anything happens. No-one cares. MP says he can't touch it. #CHC #ICB #MDT #NationalFramework

"Starmer didn't pick Mandelson in spite of his Epstein connections… He picked him because of them." Would he have made the same choice if Kamala Harris had won? "Absolutely not", says @lewisgoodall.com.

This is essential reading for all policy makers - and it’s exactly what many of us have been warning about for years. Our current economic model is simply incompatible with a safe & secure future. We can’t bail out the Earth like we did the banks

Thing is, Mandelson got involved with the wrong friend, so he's now fair game. I'm sure there are plenty in the Lords who are just as dodgy, but they're all protected by their cosy club. I wouldn't mind betting those who are most vociferous about Mandelson are among the most dodgy.

The real Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t hating Trump. It’s defending his lies no matter how obvious, bending reality to fit his words, and calling anyone who points it out “obsessed”. That’s how delusion becomes power, and it's only going to get worse from here.
