Everything connected to Mandelson must now be under suspicion? Thiel and Palantir links must be reexamined. McSweeney must be investigated for his involvement with both Mandelson and Thiel.
If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir

After 17 months in prison, 6 Palestine Action members have been cleared of all charges over an alleged raid on Elbit Systems. What an embarassment for the government and their expansion of 'counter-terror' measures.
