  2. Would #Mandelson have ever been appointed US Ambassador had a woman, #SueGray remained #Starmer ‘s Chief of Staff?

    She resigned in the autumn 2024, Mandelson was appointed in February 2025.

    The shortlist she had drawn up for the post had two people - and neither was Mandelson. They were the existing holder of the post, Karen Pierce and David Miliband according to the New Statesman.

    Gray like Rayner knew the stench of #Epstein was all over Mandelson…but Starmer being a man overlooked it.

    "The weekend’s big news was the vanquishing of Sue Gray, the breakout star of the Sue Gray report. Starmer’s erstwhile chief of staff has been made an “envoy”, which is an honour on a par with having “special projects” in your job title if you work in the media."

  7. CW: UK pol : Marina Hyde on Starmer, Sue Gray, and foolishness

    Marina Hyde nails it, as ever.

    "The sense that Labour has expended its political capital for such a tiny quantity of money and fancy things. Don’t get me wrong – 30 or 40 grand is obviously a huge amount of money in terms of clothes and luxury “eyewear” – but it is an absolutely minuscule sum to spaff almost all your electoral goodwill on."

  13. #SueGray's replacement Morgan #McSweeney formed #LabourTogether, a think-tank intended to fight Corbynism.

    McSweeney used the think-tank to convince Labour MPs to stay in the party under Jeremy Corbyn rather than leave, and wait for him to be defeated before fighting to retake control.

    Labour Together grew into the power base behind the Cardboard Boy's leadership bid, and it is believed that the group had earmarked him as an heir to New Labour as early as 2015.

  17. Lol, all those clever plans....falling apart the moment they see daylight. I don't think this country is going to get fixed with this lot in power.
    I don't think it's ever going to get fixed, the people who really run the country seem intent on letting it fall apart with greed.

    I know some people have complained that Sue Gray earns more than the PM, but remember that's only true if you consider his base salary.

    If you add in all the PM's sponsorship deals, Sue Gray is paid considerably less than he is.
