He really posted a video on Truth Social which depicted the Obamas as apes.
He's a vile racist.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

The tendering process for Palantir’s contracts with Uk gov. should now be scrutinised. Mandelson was obviously chosen because he represented their interests not ours when he was made UK 🇬🇧 ambassador. Before that appointment his lobbying company rep. Palantir . Labour were fully aware of this .
The Peter Mandelson scandal on the front pages of UK papers. For decades Mandelson has briefed, lobbied & spun his views to senior journalists undermining colleagues in his own party & advocating for corporate interests (who were paying him). Finally the dam has burst.
