I parked on a random side street in London for a gig and when we went back the next morning, my car was trapped in the middle of a big market that had sprung up. Perhaps it's like that.
It means "the shitposting was correct; we've been involved in this attack on Iran's sovereignty since the planning phase..."
...joining? The USA has been a child murdering monster since its founding...
"...joining..."? Like they haven't been this way forever? Come on now.
The Three Questions
KS: Did you maintain a friendship with Epstein after his conviction?

PM: ...yes...?
KS: *winking* Did you maintain a friendship with Epstein after his conviction?
PM: Oh! LOL! Sorry. No.

βOne specific exchange that is understood to have been blocked from release includes the three questions Starmer put directly to Mandelson about how he maintained his friendship with Epstein.β

But... But there are PEOPLE ON THE TROLLEY TOO!!! IN FACT, IT'S A FIELD TRIP FROM AN ORPHANAGE!
"...Former PM Sir Keir Starmer, disgraced now,..."
I can't wait to hear it.
No, no... It was "paid a bounder"...
Almost 1/5 of the money Unite still plan to give Labour was just handed to Mandelson, by the way, as a "thank you", presumably... He wanted ALL Β£500k.
Too little too late.
They should've ceased their Labour funding completely on publication of the Forde Report. Or following any of the string of corruption scandals and right wing lurches that followed.
The writer won an award for this story, which was received in more or less total silence on publication www.theguardian.com/news/2022/ju...
Twice. They got it twice. 40 minutes apart. A classic double tap attack with the aim of killing two rounds of victims; those already there, then the people trying to rescue survivors.
The US Military are animals. Lower than.
So much for the tolerant left!
Starmer's got to go. Now. By the end of the day.

Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein β A 2019 report commissioned by JPMorgan found that Epstein appeared to βmaintain a particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew the Duke of York and Lord Peter Mandelson, a senior member of the British governmentβ. β The report cited Epstein's personal records which showed contact beginning in 2002 and continuing throughout the 2000s. β After Epstein was first convicted of procuring an underage girl in 2008, their relationship continued across 2009-2011, beginning when Lord Mandelson was Business Minister and continuing after the end of the Labour government. Mandelson reportedly stayed in Epstein's House while he was in jail in June 2009. β In 2014 Mandelson also agreed to be a "founding citizen" of an ocean conservation group founded by Ghislaine Maxwell, and funded by Epstein. β On reporting of the JP Morgan report, Lord Mandelson's spokesperson said βLord Mandelson very much regrets ever having been introduced to Epstein. This connection has been a matter of public record for some time. He never had any kind of professional or business relationship with Epstein in any form.β β The Telegraph reported on these links extensively in January 2024 - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/10/lord-mandelson-friendship-jeffr ey-epstein-keir-starmer/ β A Labour Party spokesperson has previously commented saying βThere are a whole range of people that Keir Starmer talks to.

The due diligence report points out that in *2014*, Mandelson accepted a role as a "founding citizen" of an ocean conservation group alongside Ghislaine Maxwell, funded by Epstein

Please read this carefully and let me know if you have any questions. Please note that as this role requires DV+STRAP, a new STRAP application form will need to be submitted as STRAP clearance is role specific.

So Peter Mandelson was appointed US ambassador before a request for STRAP vetting clearance (giving access to 'secret' official documents) had even been submitted. From the new cache of docs.
IMO, Barr Cola is the best cola.
These files confirm that Mandelson's malign influence runs through this Labour government.
Starmer knew exactly the choice he was making when he appointed him. He has to go.
Can you imagine someone trying to make a citizens' arrest against any of these people? They'd be instantly shot dead and smeared as an Iran-funded would-be assassin.
Itβs great how maybe 80% the first tranche is HR documents for Mandelsonβs appointment as Ambassador to US and dismissal from his position as Ambassador to US.
Mandelson made Β£75k in severance!
Has any other PM had so many elected party representatives under him prosecuted or investigated for paedophilia or the sharing/making/owning of indecent images of children? Starmer is the Paedo's Prime Minister.
I'm just saying his blind spot sdo tend to have a bit of a paedophile theme.
I can't help but think this all began when you fucking idiots went all gooey over a video of the Queen - a grown woman in her 80s, a wealthy and privileged woman - excitedly shrieking "Cows!" when she saw some cows at a farm show.
Yeah, don't hold your breath.
At some point do we reckon the government might stop wasting public money trying to ineffectually charge all and sundry with "terrorism"?
