I think the faux outrage by political opponents and the complicit media regarding Starmer electing Mandelson ambassador to the US has backfired somewhat.
I’m finding a lot of support for Starmer. They can see the hypocrisy and the ignoring of actual child abuse by the media.

The concerted media campaign to disable Starmer, especially the role played by the captured @BBC, is appalling and an attempt to undermine what’s left of Britain’s democracy, especially seen in the context of the free ride they’ve given to traitorous Farage and Johnson.

PR and public owned nhs, water and electricity please
In this week's column I seek to explain Keir Starmer's flat refusal to change our electoral system, even though its gross unfairness could put Reform UK in power on <30% of the vote. The reasons, I believe, are deeply cynical and disturbing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
If Reform ever wins power in Westminster, it will be because of Labour’s cowardice | George Monbiot
Starmer could improve our unfair electoral system to stop the hard right, but he won’t. All the party has left are threats about ‘splitting the vote’, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Never forget this photo.
This was the DOGE team in Reform UK’s flagship Kent Council stating they were shaking up local politics.
It was a key local election promise, criticising local government waste.
They found nothing.
Same old Reform, always lying.

11. This story is being spun as one bad apple. That awful man went off-piste and betrayed the national interest. Yes, he did, and he did it secretly in his disgraceful dealings with Epstein.
But in other respects he undermined democracy with the full backing of the government.
It was the policy.

Kisin: “No, that’s not what I said...”

The small domino was Andrew Wakefield (struck off as a doctor eventually), the next domino was a biggie: national newspaper (The Daily Mail) published his claims more than once (Melanie Phillips). The resultant panic caused a big drop in MMR uptake at the time. The UK press deserves a lot of blame.
