'Mandelson was beguiling to the rich because he came from the world of ideas and events.'

still don't understand why papers just hand over column space to politicians, even if their own writing does make them look incredibly bad

I mean he's not wrong but in his specific case it was more a case of "why wes streeting in particular" and he scraped in by 500 votes
BREAKING: Wes Streeting publishes his private WhatsApp messages with Peter Mandelson in apparent attempt to draw a line under their friendship. They reveal:

:: He feared being “toast at the next election” in his Ilford North seat, adding: “There isn’t a clear answer to the question: why Labour?”.

age verification is functionally a huge security hazard for _all_ internet users but the government will call you a danger to children if you point this out
“In October, one of Discord’s former third-party vendors suffered a data breach that exposed users’ age verification data, including images of government IDs.”
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

wouldn't it be fun if we ever got to find out who gave these quotes
A Labour MP remarks: "Starmer will go down as the worst PM in Labour history ... He’s a coward who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions. He is a moral gravity-well from which neither decency, honesty or integrity can escape. A genuine disaster for this country and the Labour movement.”

February 8, 2026 at 4:59 PM
he's quit? mcsweeney quit? is there a single thing keir starmer can actually do?
February 8, 2026 at 3:08 PM
amping up far right politics because it is profitable is also the business model of several large news organisations
Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.

He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

we were sold a keir starmer that was the perfect image of decency and competence: forensically opposing brexit, promoting broadly liberal values, confronting left wing racism, and excoriating the corruption and chaos of the tories
