Months ago, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk asked the Prime Minister a simple question: why did he keep backing Mandelson despite his Epstein links, and what leverage might the Trump administration have over him?
Instead of answering, he waved it away.

The SEND system isn’t working, not for students, their families, or their teachers.
It’s time to stop tinkering at the edges and start transforming our education system.

This deadly crisis is not what we expect from our NHS.
This is a national emergency, yet Labour ministers have allowed the crisis to get even worse.
They must immediately implement our plan to end the A&E crisis once and for all.

Our model would echo the film and video classification system established in the 1980s, adapting a trusted framework for the digital age.
The new ratings would be enforced by Ofcom, which would be handed powers to fast-track fines and business disruption orders on platforms that don’t comply.

We have age ratings for films to protect children from violence and other harmful content. Why not do the same with social media websites?

It's now clear that this was never about the interests of the Venezuelan people or the wider world. This is Trump serving his own interests and ego, making the world far more dangerous in the process. Starmer must convene the UN Security Council to hold Trump to account.
