  1. If the #EU rules are not #Federal policy enforceable throughout the #Shengen area they are useless. #Ceuta will not break the agreement but highlights once again the problem with fragmentation.
    Let’s have one #ForeignOffice one #Immigration policy and one #EuropeanArmy

    EU overhaul to toughen migration rules takes effect, though doubts remain about impact | Reuters reuters.com/world/eu-overhaul-

  2. theguardian.com/politics/2026/. "The sacked senior civil servant Oliver #Robbins has said he was subject to 'constant pressure' when he arrived in the #ForeignOffice to get Peter #Mandelson in post as soon as possible. He said the #CabinetOffice urged the Foreign Office to allow Mandelson’s #appointment as the UK’s #ambassador to the #US without the usual #vetting #process but the Foreign Office pushed back & the vetting eventually went ahead." Who in the Cabinet Office was doing this?

  3. theguardian.com/politics/2026/. "[Prime Ministers] have been undone by former permanent secretaries before. The former head of the #ForeignOffice Simon McDonald sealed the fate of Boris #Johnson with proof that the then-[PM] misled MPs. There will be no saving #Starmer if anything he said on Monday is found to have been on the wrong side of the line."

  4. “Mandelson was not made ambassador despite his ties to Epstein but because of them”

    “Starmer has the look of a man who is not in control, who is tormented by every excruciating decision he makes, who knows he looks like a fool. It is not hard to join the dots and see that there is more at play, that Starmer was instructed to hire the guy at the heart of the Epstein blackmail ring. We can only speculate about what leverage the Epstein class has over Starmer, but it must be strong. No one would want to harm their own reputation for a guy as loathsome as Peter Mandelson”

  5. theguardian.com/world/2026/apr. "The #Epstein files have shaken Norway’s faith in #democracy, the head of the #Norwegian parliament’s oversight committee has said, as a sprawling #investigation into the connections between its #foreignoffice & the late #sexoffender gets under way." #Norway? That's just about the last place I'd ever think of in connection with Epstein!

  6. #UKgov says #OllyRobbins overruled UK Security Vetting, and gave Peter Mandelson #DevelopedVetting status, without telling ministers what #UKSV found. So they fired Robbins. See e.g. The Guardian: archive.ph/sMAc9

    Such deceit of ministers would end the career of any civil servant. But the govt story is that Robbins as head of the #ForeignOffice went completely rogue to tell ministers what they wanted to hear about a political appointment of top diplomat. Not credible.

  7. #Mandelson failed vetting to be UK Ambassador, but the #ForeignOffice #FCDO overruled the decision. This was covered up.

    So who lied?

    Foreign Secretary David #Lammy?
    Or PM Keir #Starmer?
    Or both of them?

    There's just no way a civil servant would hsve withheld this from ministers. It's just too big. Far far too big. Some minister knew.

    Which of these large heads gets the chop?

    My hunch is that Lammy will be the fall guy, but I'm not betting on it.

    “Declassified’s latest investigation into UK arms exports to Israel left me shaking my head and shouting at the screen. Here’s why”

  9. The UK gave £90,000 to an Israeli report seeking to prove that sexual violence by #Hamas on 7 October was “systematic”, a weakly evidenced claim #Israel made central to justifying its genocide in #Gaza.

    The #ForeignOffice tried to hide how much, so Rivkah Brown spent 7 months getting the data out of them, with the help of the #InformationCommissioner's Office.

    Not a single UK news outlet has picked up the story.

  10. RE: mstdn.social/@Remittancegirl/1

    The Foreign Office is only good for helping rich perverts get what they want. Looking after British Citizens? Fuck off!!!

  11. Zack Polanski would be a far better Prime Minister than the shithouse coward Quisling fuck currently shitting his pants in No 10 right now.

    And Yvette Cooper? ffs, might as well put her hubby, Ed Balls in charge as well for all the fucking good.....is Mr Blobby free?

    "special relationship" indeed....No 10 found out this was happening from the news, didn't they?

  12. Are you going to evacuate all the British nationals or just fuck up like the Tories did with Afghanistan?

    I think I know the answer to that one..

    Bet you're pacing up and down No 10 now, the useless fuck that you are, "what's happening, what's going on.....how am I polling....I want to live in Donald Trump's ass....."
