I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a £2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company.

Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

The Antonia Romeo who did more than most to saddle us with Palantir? That Antonia Romeo?
between the Department for International Trade's (DIT) then second most senior civil servant Antonia Romeo and Palantir's Louis Mosley, executive vice president and head of U.K. operations. During the meeting, Romeo told Mosley about NHSX — a new "joint organisation for digital, data and technology" that uses new technologies and data to deliver British health care — set up that month. The meeting is described in briefing notes prepared by DIT and was obtained by POLITICO through a freedom of information request. After their April 2019 meeting, Romeo connected Mosely with David Prior, chair of NHS England who later ensured that Matthew Gould, the CEO of NHSX, was looped into By July 2, 2019, Prior was drinking watermelon cocktails with Mosley at a dinner the Palantir boss hosted on the eve of the launch of NHSX, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. The same day, Palantir had been added as a supplier to the government's approved list of cloud technology contractors, a spokesperson for the U.K.'s government contract tendering body, the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), said. A series of engagements with Prior, Gould and DIT followed in the months after the dinner. Prior then visited Palantir's headquarters in San Francisco on January 14, 2020, where he saw a demonstration of the company's health care software Palantir Foundry. Mosley met Romeo again a week later on January 22 at Palantir's pavilion at the 2020 saw a demonstration of the company's health care software Palantir Foundry. Mosley met Romeo again a week later on January 22 at Palantir's pavilion at the 2020 annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Romeo's briefing notes said she should court him by promoting the U.K. as a leader in tech and "a great location for Palantir to expand their software business" and connect him with the technology director at the Crown Commercial Service. The company sees the U.K. as "a gateway to the rest of the world," according to briefing notes prepared for the meeting in Davos. Immediately after the January meeting, Romeo's private secretary emailed Mosely to introduce him to DIT health care officials, including DIT's Life Sciences leadership team and director for investment.

The same people who tell us “oh, dear boy, you don’t understand” when reassuring us about Palantir embedding itself in the British state were almost exactly the same people who told us Russian interference, Cambridge Analytica and phone hacking were just ‘conspiracy theories’

A fair point.

The al Fayed Harrods sex abuse and trafficking scandal has led to zero consequences.

The Met Police have rec'd over 140 reports of alleged offences (incl rape, sexual assault & trafficking) spanning decades, but no charges have been brought.

So far, Starmer's govt has done nothing.

When people say “but what about the good policies” they fail to understand the anger these things produce. As someone living on benefits due to disability & *still trying* to get PIP, the attack on disability alone was so personal, so cruel, literally nothing they do now would make me trust them

Excellent journalism, Paul. Thank you.
Posts from the Daily Record's Paul Hutcheon on X: #1: 'That's the Scottish Labour "branch office" line dead and buried.' #2: 'From the silence/public statements of Scottish Labour MPs, it's clear they see Keir Starmer, not Anas Sarwar, as their leader.'

This is incredibly funny to try because even if it *was* true, then it would mean Streeting was defending Mandleson in September for the love of the game.
A screen shot of two articles in the National and the Independent, respectively, where Streeting is on record defending Mandleson relationship with Epstein.

Starmer needs to acknowledge he didn’t win a huge mandate — the Tories collapsed, so Labour strolled in.
Corbyn actually lost with more votes.

What did McSweeney do next? Advise Labour into the lowest poll ratings in its history.

So spare us the tears over McSweeney’s resignation.
