  1. Novara Media | The Perks of Being Prince Andrew by Ash Sarkar

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The article critiques Prince Andrew’s appointment as a UK trade envoy—a role secured largely through his mother’s influence—and examines the ensuing scandal tied to his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Although never charged, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after documents suggested he shared confidential diplomatic information with Epstein and may have facilitated the trafficking of a woman to the UK for a sexual encounter. The piece notes earlier police investigations, a £12 million settlement with Virginia Giuffre, and accusations that Andrew misused RAF facilities for Epstein’s private jet, all while receiving a cushy position that lacked proper vetting. It also highlights former Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s call for scrutiny, the royal family’s continued protection of Andrew despite being stripped of titles, and the broader implications for political figures like Keir Starmer and Peter Mandelson.

  4. #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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  11. 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.
