I emailed Mandelson’s lawyers yesterday to ask if he was contesting the £547,000 severance point and….didn’t hear back from them
Nobody has ever been so lyrically yet thoroughly excoriated as in this piece. And yet, few people have ever deserved such a complete dismantling as the Prince formerly known as Andrew

The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

One hour ago at the White House per Scavino
Badenough still going on about the Chinese mega-embassy in London - perhaps forgetting that the Tory Govt approved it back in 2018...
Incredibly telling Kemi Badenoch interview on Today:

- no idea what objective her proposed military action is to achieve
- hides from reality that single biggest constraint on British military = her govt’s defence cuts

Probably a coincidence
⚠️ Being faced with the reality of what his followers think seems to have touched a nerve.

It's sure as hell not FDR that *we're* dealing with
So it’s happened.
The first arrest has now been made since the Public Order Act (2023) was amended to classify animal testing sites as “key national infrastructure.”

Lapdogs. Here we go again
The United States & Israel have launched an illegal and unprovoked attack on Iran.
Keir Starmer condemns Iran.

Plaid leader Rhun ap Iorwerth’s speech was over 5,000 words.
Not one of them was “independence” or “annibyniaeth”.
Sectarian.
The sheer contempt and entitlement in that word.
Thousands of Muslim voters just voted for a white, (I think) working class non-Muslim woman because they feel abandoned by Labour and agree with her views on a huge foreign policy issue and on immigration policy
Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth enters the conference hall at the ICC in Newport.

Again, just don't think Pearson would have been this explicit 5 years ago. They have pickled themselves.
Because your father stole from thousands of pensioners, and because your sister was part of a hideous and abusive system of sexual abuse that ruined lives.

He's Britain's most prominent far-right street thug with criminal convictions for assault, violence, fraud, stalking & harassment.
He was jailed in 2012 for trying to enter the US with a false passport.

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant.
