James O Brien shamed the radio today with his creepy defence of Starmer. He seems to hold everyone else to the same standards of the prime minister and assumes no one had an issue with Mandelson because he didn’t . Be clear hundreds of thousands if not millions of us have a big issue

Sick of hearing this corbyn won more votes nonsense. Corbyn won less seats, gifted the worst uk pm ever an 80 seat majority and achieved fuck all
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.

I’m reliably told via a trusted source that Reform are fire fighting internal disputes between counsellors. Including accusations of inappropriate sexual conduct .. Cont #ukpolitics #reform

Even if Starmer didn't know, can it be even remotely plausible that McSweeney, who was Mandelson's protege, didn't know?
If Mandelson really told Starmer he barely knew Epstein, that was an epic whopper of a lie.

Here's Mandelson to Epstein in 2009: "You are the only person who knows everything about me. Don't go away".

Their relationship only got closer after 2009.

I notice that many Labour MPs today played down McSweeney’s role in appointing Mandelson the ‘Prince of Darkness’ and Starmer defended him in Parliament. Very strange. He is very close with Mandelson. Big questions to be asked 🤔 #ukpolitics #petermandelson #keirstarmer
