It's time now for the Government to put forward legislation to strip Peter Mandelson of his peerage.

It's the very least they can do for the victims and survivors of his friend Jeffrey Epstein. If Mandelson has any shame left, he'll retire from the House of Lords today.

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor.

Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.

A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

A brief detour from my usual history reading led me to @jonathancoe.bsky.social's latest, randomly picked up during a bookstore foray.

Turned out to be a fast-paced, sarcastic, and intricately plotted blend of crime fiction and modern British politics.

Worth a read.

It’s very painful to see the mainstreaming of truth-telling as division-stirring.
The line of questioning is so horrendous I could hardly bear to finish watching this short clip but I’m glad I did manage to get to Zack’s sharp answer.
#bbclaurak asks @zackpolanski.bsky.social, doesn't opposing genocide stir up division?

Whenever the Gaza Health Ministry was cited they were called 'the Hamas-run Health Ministry' to make us all doubt the numbers. Now even Israel accepts the official death toll, because that's how confident Netanyahu is that he'll face no consequences.

The real death toll is, obviously, much higher.

Bruce Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” calls back to protest music’s glory days, Spencer Kornhaber writes—and though the Boss has sounded bitter and mournful before, he has never sounded “this purely angry”:
Rage in the U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen has never sounded angrier than on his new song, “Streets of Minneapolis.”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Well done @rcoanews.bsky.social and @assocanaes.bsky.social for taking action and stepping away from activity on Twitter/X

The day that Suella Braverman defects to Reform to join a bunch of Tory leftovers, let's remember that glorious prank by the Last Leg and laugh out loud again.

BBC Verify has analysed footage of the shooting of Alex Pretti from multiple angles, piecing together a detailed picture of what happened, frame by frame.
No doubt about it, it was an execution.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Quite glad that the big story in British politics is whether Andy Burnham will apply to stand in a by-election and not people being gunned down by state militias.
