Mandelson betrayed the UK to a convicted sex-offender.
Before this Labour-Epstein scandal broke Sarwar described Mandelson as ‘an old friend’ 🤔
What did Sarwar know about Mandelson’s connections with Epstein?
We need a Holyrood Parliamentary Inquiry to ask Mr Sarwar what he knew & when.

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

Mandelson’s Fifth Column
The British government’s business department exists to undermine democracy.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

The BBC is actively acting against Scotland's best interests to protect the British State's hold on our country.
Your family's, community's, business's, economy's progress and prosperity are very much being blindsided and handicapped to ensure Scotland's independence chances are fully obliterated.

Crooked Labour who privatised Strathclyde bus services - now run by very rich people who now make HUGE donations to Labour - to buy influence & access.
You see how this hypocritical & corrupt system works?
Publicly owned buses sold off by Labour to Labour donors 🤔

Now we know why Epstein and others were shelling out cash: $85,000+ to Mandelson. Cash for access & influence over policy. It’s why the Easdales - private bus company - have given a six-figure donation to Anas Sarwar of the Labour branch in Scotland. The purpose is access & influence.

If the super-rich are winning (and they are, big time), the rest of us are losing. So who is this Labour UKGovt for? And would a ReformUK be acting for? Not ordinary folk like us that’s for sure.

And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.

And many large UK companies (BT, Water, Energy, Supermarkets) are actually run very badly by these execs with poor management skills. And paying low wages & many avoiding taxes.
How can a differential of 113x be justified?
And you wonder why the UK is a socially divided, unequal & broken society?

In 1986 the bosses of UK companies earned ~20x that of lowest paid.
2026: pay of execs is 113x that of lowest paid.
Exec pay rose 8.6% last year & has risen faster than everyone else for 40 years.
Essential workers - nurses, doctors, prison officers, care workers are struggling to pay their bills.

Hutcheon writes: “If Labour, the Lib Dems, Tories and Reform reach 65, insiders say the pro-UK parties would vote for Sarwar as First Minister, despite Swinney leading the largest group.”
