There's no reason to accept this as normal, though. Much of Starmer and Labour's unpopularity is not misfortune but his own doing. Mandelson was a choice. Consistently pursuing policy positions designed to appeal to people who will not vote for you - and alienating core supporters - is a choice.
Starmer's reported condition - incredibly unpopular, shorn of authority, probably un-reelectable and yet will stagger on for want of an alternative - is just the new normal of how Britain is governed. It was also true for two-thirds of May's premiership, half of Johnson's and all of Sunak's.

Begging my wife to do something about getting citizenship because at this point I’m expecting Farage to be Prime Minister fairly soon. Labour really needed to meet the moment with this government and they’ve totally fucked it.
My read tonight including what I think is an growing belief among the 2024 intake that none of current options for leadership are up to it, and they are starting to look among their own ranks

I've seen enough. Time for Starmer to fuck off.
Starmer forced to admit he knew of Mandelson's continued relationship with Epstein after the first convicton when he appointed him ambassador. Eek this is a shocker.
Badenoch has nailed him on this.

It's somehow getting worse
There's more.
On 31 March 2010, Lord Mandelson's principal private secretary sent him a note of a meeting between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Larry Summers, US Treasury Secretary.
Lord Mandelson forwarded it to Jeffrey Epstein five minutes later.

We can argue about the merits of the thing as a whole, but at this point, if someone just blurted this out in conversation I’d really have to ask what the fuck they were on about.

I don’t dislike Bishop, but it is absolutely barmy to me that they’ve made a biopic of him, making him American in it, starring Will Arnett and Laura Dern.

I said to myself that if HMRC ever called ME about a client I would take my revenge and say "I just need to put you through to the right department" and stick them on hold for half an hour. They just did, and I completely forgot, and let me tell you, I am GUTTED!
