While we’re asking Mandelson to return his Foreign Office payout how about the former Prince Andrew return all the taxpayer cash he spent and trousered jetting around the world as Trade Ambassador?

This is mad. Just received this. If their pipes didn't constantly leak then they wouldn't have to impose these nonsense bans. Bills and bonuses skyrocketing.

Lot of people claiming exclusives for 'cut and paste' exposes from Epstein files but real work in exposing Prince Andrew (and Fergie) was done by the tabloids. How the pair of them were allowed to cling on and grift for decades is a question the Royal Family should be made to answer.

While we’re asking what the Government knew about Mandelson’s links to Epstein, how about asking what the Royal Family knew about Andrew’s involvement with the paedophile financier? And if Mandelson was feeding him sensitive info, what about Andrew, Britain’s trade ambassador?

What’s next for Peter Mandelson? Got to be a podcast. With an ‘amusing counterpart’, I’m thinking Ann Widdecombe or Nicky Hallam.

They should throw the kitchen sink at Mandelson - criminal investigations for misconduct in public office, insider dealing and HMRC probe into his tax affairs.

My favourite part of a visit to an otter sanctuary is the bit where the otters stand respectfully in silence for their national anthems.

I’m watching final episode of #TheNightManager solely because I’ve invested so much time in what I can only describe as a sub-par Slow Horses featuring a sub-par Bond who’s only sexual activity thus far has been a bit of over-the-jeans frottage.

Fascinating how the water companies brief journalists about future water shortages when the reality is there is no shortage of water just a shortage of infrastructure to meet demand. The last six months - not just this winter - wetter than average.

Trump criticising nations for trading with China is like a publican hiking his prices and then complaining that his customers are drinking in the next door pub.

The Musk/Ryanair battle seems unfair. In one corner you've got generational talent shitposters, while in the other corner you've got the guy who thought that literally turning up with a sink to Twitter HQ when he bought it (*let that sink in! Geddit?*) was cutting edge satire.
