  9. The government has no official records of meetings that top civil servants held with senior figures and clients from Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm last year, including an undeclared meeting with oil giants and private equity firms.

  25. Wes #Streeting, the #PrincelingOfDarkness (loyal pal of #Mandelson), has resigned from the UK government.

    But he has NOT made a leadership challenge. Which he would have done, if he had the numbers.

    Now he is trying to save some face by posing as a sort of fair process advocate. But basically, he has just crashed. 😅🤣🥂🍺

    And he is no longer Health Secretary ❤️

  26. 10 Good Reasons #Starmer has to go…

    1) Not admitting #Netanyahu has committed genocide in #Gaza because UK has provided military hardware and intelligence to support Israel
    2) Inviting #Palantir into #NHS and UK defence
    3) Proscribing #PalestineAction to enable the arrest and detainment of grannies as terrorists for holding placards
    4) Inviting #Trump to UK for a second state visit. Not standing up to him until it was too late.
    5) Appointing and announcing #Mandelson as US Ambassador

    1/2

  27. @ronanmcd Haha ... but seriously, #Streeting is a genuinely hardcore piece of nastiness. Schooled in the vicious politics of the #NUS, he is a dedicated alky of #Mandelson, and a deeply committed neoliberal. Wesvis the #PrincelingOfDarkness.

  28. theguardian.com/politics/2026/

    #starmer needs McSweeney to tell him to step down, but McSweeney had to step down so Starmer wouldn’t have to, to deflect blame from inappropriately appointing #mandelson , despite (or because of) #epstein ties.

    Sure seems like the elitist system is corrupted. #ukpol

  29. Massive thanks to the UK's #LabourParty for continuing to create such cracking political comedy. 😅

    As #Starmer's rotten party implodes, and factions form openly, the most hated pretender of them all is on manoeuvres. His allies are resigning rapidly.

    Pre-teen Wes #Streeting, a protege of Peter #Mandelson, seems ready to pounce.

    As the candidate best placed to kill off the captured party, it's tempting to back young Wes as a #trojanhorse. 😈

    If #starmer is ditched, the UK is condemned to to chaotic future with a two party system with "comedy" leaders -#reform and #greenParty

    #mandelson is just a banana skin. The real problem is a government unable to understand it had won an election with a thumping majority and was expected to enact legislation to reverse the evils of the #tory party

  35. #Starmer, #Mandelson and #LabourTogether are to blame…

    ‘MPs told the Guardian that any result in which the party lost more than 1,500 council seats would be existential. But polling experts have said significantly worse results are possible – including the University of Oxford’s Stephen Fisher who has predicted the party will lose more than 75% of its seats, or about 1,900.’
