An evidence-free hit job on two people whose only crime was being born to two white despicable individuals - largely driven by a guy with an axe to grind.
I’m sure the BBC would somehow argue this is balanced and not gutter journalism.

Imagine buying this excuse. Especially after they already defended it.

I get fed up to the back teeth when I see articles defending “DEI”.
By reducing the words Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion down to a basic acronym, we diminish the powerful meaning behind those words.
Use the full meaning. Don’t allow idiots to marginalise something so important.

Mandelson: entitled prick.
NEW: Mandelson just sent a memo to UK newspapers via the press watchdog demanding they stop publishing his links to Epstein.
He cited clauses in the Editors code, designed to protect grieving families.
The memo was NOT to be published.
The National just said ‘fuck that’ & published it in full 👏

This is the guy who founded Palantir, the organisation to which the UK is entrusting huge amounts of personal data.
He’s a Trump donor and supporter. He’s dodgy money.

Yes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.
OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

Anyone voting for the Reform-ed Tories in Gorton and Denton needs to have their head checked.
Reform is bad enough - but the man they fielded in this election is a fascist, he’s not even local, and has no interest in you.
If you want change for the better, I suggest you review Green’s policies.

Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election.
The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform.
Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Seems to me the same people calling for Starmer to go, because he can't be trusted over his mistake appointing Mandelson, are the same ones who praised Starmer's pick for US ambassador.
So, logically, they'd have made the same mistake. Some, like the MP for Clacton, are even IN the Epstein files.

I saw someone on the BBC today, stating with confidence that Starmer’s judgement was worse than Johnson’s during “partygate”.
Johnson created a legal framework that he consistently failed to follow. He lied continually about it. He was a criminal.
The two things are not remotely comparable.
