#kinnock — Public Fediverse posts

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.
