#Starmer's plan:
1/ take a record hammering in election, 'cos you are untrustworthy and have no ideas
2/ announce you now have great new ideas, which you chose not to use until you were hammered
3/ reveal big new idea as reheating hated geriatrics from #NewLabour

Former UK Prime Minister #GordonBrown is in his favourite pose: post-facto sanctimonious.
Brown is concerned that when #AndrewMountbattenWindsor (then #PrinceAndrew) was Trade Envoy, he may have used #RAF planes to traffick girls into the UK. Brown wants police to investigate.
When Brown was PM, he challenged Andrew's extravagance and use of RAF planes. If Brown had stopped the RAF flights or fired Andrew, the risk would have ended.
Brown had power. He didn't use it.

Yet even that is not enough. Successive Labour leaders enabled and indulged #Mandelson, despite clear evidence of trouble. #Kinnock first promoted Mandelson. #JohnSmith wisely shunned Mandelson, but #Blair & #GordonBrown both brought #Mandelson into senior government posts, and even made him an #EUcommissioner.
This isn't about #OllyRobɓins, or Mandelson, or even Starmer & McSweeney. It's about 2 generations of thoroughly rotten politics in a major political party.

Trump says the UK's 2 aircraft carriers are 'toys'. The #RoyalNavy is squawking. So are the navy's fans, e.g. #Torygraph.
But #Trump is mostly right. The QEII carriers have had 3 big problems: they don't work, have no planes, and no escorts.
Now they sometimes work, have a few planes, and rely on American #CarrierBattleGroups. But it's all half-arsed.
These carriers are not really a military project. They are #pork, built by #GordonBrown to create jobs in Scotland, and enthuse #flagshaggers.

CW: Biography of Gordon Brown, reviewed by Jonathan Freedland
A new biography of Gordon Brown, by James Macintyre, reviewed by Jonathan Freedland.
I always had a lot of sympathy for Gordon Brown. His politics was far from perfect and the New Labour project started trends that did not end well. But, hell, what Labour did in government after 1997 was an incredible achievement, and Brown as Chancellor made it happen. The man also has personal integtity. On all of these fronts, the current Labour crop fail abysmally.
A sympatheric review of a sympathetic biography. I probably won't buy the book, but I recommend reading the review.
And I raise my virtual class to a politician of integrity and stature.

U.K. police investigating the disgraced former ambassador to the U.S., Peter Mandelson, said they’re searching two addresses as part of their probe into misconduct in public office. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/08/uk-police-search-mandelson-addresses/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #petermandelson #keirstarmer #jeffreyepstein #gordonbrown #uk

I suppose there had to be a slot somewhere for some #Starmer loyalist to defend their boy. Here it is, in #TheObserver: Starmer's biographer #TomBaldwin explains how everything is the fault of everyone except Starmer. 🙄 Especially #GordonBrown.
https://archive.is/ZVvkP / https://observer.co.uk/news/politics/article/the-mandelson-scandal-is-not-starmers-to-answer-for
To be fair, the desperation is quite funny. Not belly laugh funny, but faint smile funny.

Will Starmer clean up the serious abuse of power, or will he let Palantir rig the election for Nigel Farage? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg1g83zvlyo #RestorePublicTrust #OrBowToUSFascists #GordonBrown #UKIndependence #EUFederation #MAGAWhippingBoy #PiggyInTheMiddle

Why is #GordonBrown allowed to lie?
Keir #Starmer's lack of integrity is a matter of historical record. The public knows about Starmer's broken 2020 election promises, his claim and later denial of friendship with #Corbyn, and his lies about international law. Opinion polls find that "liar" is the word most associated with Keir Starmer.
But the BBC prints Brown's blatant lie as a fact. https://archive.is/Zyeqx
There is no challenge at all to Brown's #BigLie. 😡

"If we want to understand why democracy is in such trouble, the careers of Blair and Mandelson are exemplary: greed and cynicism feeding off each other." — Fintan O'Toole.
#OToole's article is marred by excessive praise for the massively-flawed #GordonBrown. But O'Toole is right about the sheer avarice of #TonyBlair and #PeterMandelson
