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. 🧵

Should never have been made a “Lord” in the first place. Slimy worm of a man 😧
Mandelson earlier said he had no recollection of receiving 75 thousand dollars from Epstein, after documents appear to show those payments. If that is confirmed, we might expect that his resignation from the Lords may follow quite imminently

There you have it. Labour want Reform to do well.
Never. Ever. Ever vote Labour again. These people gained power for the sake of it and are desperate to keep power at any cost.
Even at the cost of the country falling to Farage in the end. Labour don’t care.

This is grim-Labour MPs saying they prefer a Reform win in Gorton & Denton than The Greens: Reform is worse for the country, but the Greens are be worse for their careers. They want Reform to do well so they can use them as a threat to force folk to vote Labour www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Other than Epstein himself, why has no other man been held to account for abusing these underage girls?
Is it because they are rich (predominantly) white men?
It’s all so pretty fucking damming, isn’t it?

Exactly right. Drug addiction is a health issue not a criminal one. Undermining and eventually eradicating a dangerous, exploitative black market for one. Also, jails would be half empty. But no. Pearl clutching and “War on drugs” bullshit. Because god forbid we try to solve an actual problem.

Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of UK politics. The Labour party has accused the Green party leader Zack Polanski of being cowardly for not standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection on 26 February.
In an interview with The Observer, the Labour party’s chair, Anna Turley, said the fact Salford-born Polanski did not stand showed the Greens lacked “confidence” to do so. Continue reading...
