It turns out that Mandelson had been more of a threat to the National Interest than had been previously realised.
Maybe when someone has resigned from Government for dodgy finances, you should not bring them back, ever.

Totally agree. A large section of the media is whipping up the "replace Starmer" narrative to destabilise the government and bring it down before it has real chance to effect the postive change. The last thing the hostile media wants is a successful Labour government so they're undermining it.

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.

Why Britain must make social media lawful again
The controversy has illuminated again how US billionaire businessman Musk takes a “pick and mix” approach as to which laws he thinks should apply to him and his companies.

People try to ascribe motives, strategy and logic to Trump but it's not acknowledged nearly enough that he's simply a spectacularly stupid man who happens to be extremely rich and entitled with it and therefore has gained a lot of power.
He's a very clear example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

Regarding Twitter/Grok, banning twitter from the UK would be counterproductive, as it would feed into VPNs. Instead we should look at daily fines of a small percent of revenue, until the law is complied with.
Also, users who used the tool to generate CSAM should be prosecuted.
