Is it possible that Mandelson might bring Starmer down?

?

Well if Starmer does go as a result of this let’s hope that doesn’t let Rayner back in. Don’t forget she also broke the rules but Starmer publicly said he hoped she’d come back again in some way .

The Chagos Island ‘giveaway’ has been cancelled, just last week, after some harsh words from Trump ( the islands have an US air base on them ).

Truss was far, far worse than Starmer. Why do you suppose she only lasted a month and a half in the job?

🤣

He’s a perpetual barefaced liar

Mauritius are planning on sueing us now for millions. Well done David Lammy.

Agreed send them to the tower!

I’m a rational left leaning liberal and tried to really get behind Starmer initially, he is good in some ways but I do think that appointing Mandy showed a huge lack of judgement- and I’m afraid slip ups like that might be his downfall.

Starmer tried to head it off and was quick off the blocks to say he should quit the Lords.

So damage limitation was rolling fast. It might save Starmer. It might not.

Depends on how much he knew and when.

She had the right idea about lowering taxes etc..but went about it wrong by failing to cut costs. Labour are failing to cut costs and are raising taxes too. Neither of which is great.

Breaking the law.

Why did PM get to resign (eventually) rather than be sacked?

Yes. Who could have possibly predicted that the buffoon that is David Lammy could stuff this up eh?

Which law?

This. Farage has been very quiet about references to him eh?

Peter Mandelson aka Lord Snake

Yes, it’s always the ‘who knew what, and when?’ that bites them on the arse. Who were Mandelson’s ministers for instance is now of interest (Lammy and McFadden).

Just you wait til Reform gets in if you think that's bad

The Russian involvement in Brexit, Cambridge Analytica, and the unlawful proroguing of Parliament, for starters.

He had to step down TWICE while part of the Labour government because of grift. Starmer knew about this, and still appointed him.

It won't be Mandy who brings down.the Labour government, it will be Mandy's friends.

JE isnt NF's style, I agree. But other things are his style. I predict if Reform.gets in, we'll be here again( i.e in Scandal Land ) in no time at all . Isn't one of the Reform bunch already some kind of tax dodger. You just wait.

There's also the small matter of the fact that she was very obviously overwhelmed by the demands of the role and could barely string together a coherent sentence. The same cannot be said of Starmer.

I can't see Reform giving away Islands owned by UK.

I was talking about the trial of the arsonists, as you know.

Proroguing was a red herring and a storm in a tea cup to coin a couple of phrases. Its not criminal. It was entirely meaningless and had no effect. It wasted a lot of time arguing and was only for a couple of useless days anyway.

Russian involvement in Brexit...what crime did Boris commit in relation to the Russians?

Cambridge Analytica. Again..what crime did Boris commit?
