So McSweeney has gone - letโ€™s just have a look at some of the praise for Mandelsonโ€™s appointment at the time and when Mandelsonโ€™s relationship with Epstein after he was convicted was widely known & in the public domain.

While there is justified outrage about Mandelson, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor &others, the relentless media focus on Keir Starmer (who was NOT mentioned in any Epstein file) is overdone.
By contrast, no focus on Farage who WAS mentioned (and who, BTW, applauded the appointment of Mandelson)โ€ฆ

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister.

Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

"I might disagree with Mandelson on his politics, but he's a very intelligent man and would be good choice for ambassador".
Nigel Farage, Dec 2024

Nigel Farage condemns Sir Keir Starmer calling his appointment of Lord Mandelson as US ambassador a "grave error of judgement".

It's not been a good week for Reform.

Here are some of the disastrous headlines they have had across many councils they run - in just the last few days!

The last story is one you don't want to miss...

Lewis Goodall has said he has looked through Hansard and not a single Conservative stood up and said appointing Mandleson was a bad idea let alone because of what everyone knew at the time with regard to Epstein.

Keir Starmer has never met Jeffrey Epstein.

Wasnโ€™t in Parliament when Mandelson was passing information onto Epstein.

His sole contribution was to appoint Mandelson to try and keep this country from sliding further into poverty and regression.

So, bosses of failing privatised water companies continue to pay themselves millions in bonuses despite illegally dumping toxic water and failing to provide reliable water supplies to residents. Also despite rules saying they shouldnโ€™t! Privatisation has failed!

 the economy seems to be changing structure at a faster rate than before.
One way to measure this is by looking at how much the employment shares of different 
industries change over the medium- to long-term. Figure 10 shows that, after a long 
period of decelerating change, the pace of structural change has begun to accelerate 
again.

Mandleson has handed Starmer and Brown the golden ticket to clean up politics.

And theyโ€™ll do it faster than ever thought possible.

These last few days have not been bad news for Starmer or Labour.

Theyโ€™ve been the starting gun.

This week, Labour launched their National Cancer Plan

We had been hearing about measures it would contain for the last couple of week, but we now have the full plan.

It is particularly worth remember that we have a ministerial team with lived experience of cancer.
