Good, #Labour, to investigate #Mandelson.
Can you ALSO investigate the financial dealings of Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and others linked to overseas interference and destabilisation of the UK?
Can you STOP dealings with #Palantir, #PeterThiel, #ElonMusk?
Theses are ALL enemies of this state.

I wonder was the Cornwall majority voting in the brexit referendum leave or remain? I am guessing it was leave! Were they lied to?

Bad enough on BBC R4 pretty well the first thing she said was about honestly, she then started to lie and we have not got to the first record on Desert Island Discs

This must be some sort of war crime and needs calling out, as we have been doing, but louder!

The trouble is Mike we are both old and think that AB is young! whereas younger voters think he is old. Perhaps we need to look to a younger person? it might be time to skip a generation. I had rather thought perhaps hoped that Zarah Sultana might be a potential future leader.

Sadly the grownups in the room might be ignored again, we knew brexit was going to be a disaster, look who supported it! we know Farage is a wannabe facist his brown shirt muscle will be Robinson NF idiots. There is time for his grifting ways to be fully exposed

I too am a long time Labour voter, and am convinced that this whole circus should have been handled better, I think Starmer is honest as is AB but there is the greater good for the party as a whole. If we keep squabbling we will loose what we desperately need which is a long term labour government

USA has always seen the relationship with the UK as Transactional, they have never 'given' us anything quite the reverse, we have had to buy from them. We gave them Jet Engine and loads of other technology. Brexit voters were in the main, voting to stop immigration, and to shove one up Cameron.

What an excellent idea, angry 50yr old are a pain, but it should be reinstated for the over 70’s as we have much more of a sanguine take on things, and we are mostly right! In a left leaning socialist sort of way

I agree, at the moment the Reform seem to have parked their tanks on the Tory lawn. Reform / UKIP and the rest have been thorns in the side of the Centerist old Conservative party, lets face it Cameron did the Brexit vote to try and end the What ever party Farage was leading at the time.

Jenrick is a good fit for reform, he is good at making rabble rousing comments, and The Reform Party is a very good example of a rabble. @drjennings.bsky.social For people like Zahawi and Jenrick to get big roles, there are a major hurdles, Reform need win an election, a big hurdle?

@drjennings.bsky.social I think you are right , but she is only a stop gap leader, when there is a hint of Tories gaining power she will be ousted and a proper Eton Tory Boy will be shoe horned in.
