#Starmer “has 5 year mandate from the British people”? Having secured only 33.7% of the vote in 2024 to undemocratically secure 63.2% of MPs, such a statement is arrant nonsense.
“Mother of all parliaments”? More like “mother of all establishment clusterf*cks.”

Tony Benn on Peter Mandelson (1987):
“Today we had a meeting of the NEC & the Shadow Cabinet. Kinnock introduced the meeting & spoke for about twenty minutes. We went on to Peter Mandelson who said a few words. I find Mandelson a threatening figure for the future of the Party.”

To quote Oscar Wilde a couple of times re the grotesque #Mandelson:
1) “Nothing succeeds like excess.”
2) “There’s one thing worse than being talked about; not being talked about.”
Unless, as with Slimy Pete, you’ve grossly overplayed your sense of entitlement and all now lies in tatters.
