It's time for Netflix, BBC iPlayer and other "streamers" to make DOCTOR STRANGELOVE available again.

Special Relationship - my arse.

The UK cannot build our security on unpredictability - our safest and most stable path forward lies with our European neighbours. Full statement is linked below.

Matthew Syed called him out good and proper. And he issued a challenge to discuss Mandelson's slimy posturing with him to his face in public. A challenge which I hope Mandelson might be stupid enough to take up, in which case Syed will have him for breakfast.

"He found the defence of this billionaire persuasive because he got treats..."

Columnist Matthew Syed says we should "look at the pattern" of Peter Mandelson's behaviour, after initially not apologising to Jeffrey Epstein’s victims for staying friends with him.

In my humble opinion the most appropriate and effective contribution Peter Mandelson should now be making to public life is a very long (preferably permanent) period of silence.

I don't think the government should stop under-16s using social media.
It should be the other way round. Stand up and face down the billionaires.

In case you missed it ...
When we were in the EU, there were signs all over the place showing how the EU was investing in our towns and regions. And best of all, EU funding was shared out EQUALLY and FAIRLY across all parts of the UK, regardless of which party was in power.
