I had the great privilege of debating with Trinity College Dublin students at their University Philosophical Society last night. I successfully opposed the motion ‘This House Believes Journalism is Dead’ & came away inspired & uplifted by speakers on both sides who were all less than half my age!

Under my leadership of the Labour Party, Peter Mandelson had no role, no influence and no part to play, because I do not trust the man and I do not believe the man.

This seems significant. Compromising the investigation into Mandelson tomorrow would be a stupid price to pay for humiliating Starmer today.
Following Keir Starmer's pledge to release material relating to Peter Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador, subject to exemptions decided by parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee, the Metropolitan Police has said publishing certain documents would undermine its criminal investigation

Reform UK’s Councillor George Magwick has been shown to have lied. He spread misinformation about an asylum seeker that has been found not guilty, information that he used to stoke hate and fuel demonstrations.

Most of our media is studiously ignoring the Epstein links to Brexit, Farage and far right populism. Farage is being touted for No.10. He wants an even more extreme Brexit. A race to the bottom to sell us out to this global network of oligarch crooks.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.
There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

Mandelson has history. The Hinduja passport affair, undeclared loans, time on Russian yachts and friends with a paedophile. He was literally known as the “Prince Of Darkness” for his behind the scenes power. On balance, why did Labour governments continue to work with him?

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵
