Bloomberg is suggesting that Morgan McSweeney might be the next one to be kicked out of Labour.

It is time for him to go, Labour policies have been horrendous.

No 10 appointed Mandelson despite security concerns, Sky News understands Number 10 say developed vetting was done by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in the normal way.

When Boris Johnson overrode security service advice in order to give Evgeny Lebedev a peerage, Keir Starmer (rightly) demanded a full investigation.

Now we learn Starmer did exactly the same thing with Peter Mandelson.

Sydney student banned from year 12 formal for wearing Palestinian scarf A Sydney teenager has filed a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission over the punishment he received for wearing a keffiyeh-patterned scarf to his graduation ceremony.

Shameful, grossly unfair.

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out.

If you're wondering why the media is on the side of the land owners who don't want to pay their taxes, it's because protesting is only bad when poor people do it x

If there was ever a protest by the rich, it was today.

What the UK needs is massive change.

End Brexit.
End the House of Lords.
Tax the rich.
Renationalise all the essentials, Water, Power, Rail, Mail.

And change it so they can't be privatised again without a Referendum.

In 2014 Starmer knew what genocide was. This was him at the International Court of Justice making the case that what happened at Vukovar was genocide.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Conservative MP Victoria Atkins says (of todayโ€™s farmer protests)

โ€œThe fact that they are coming to London, from all over the country, shows how worried they areโ€

Err, bloody millions of us went to London, from all over the country, multiple times about Brexit and you didnโ€™t give a shit!!

FIFA is forcing the Israeli football team into European football while ignoring Israelโ€™s crimes, including hospitalising football players from other teams. The betrayal is massive. Our cultural institutions are choosing Israeli genocide over the people. They are complicit.
