Talk:Matt Goodwin - Wikipedia

Sad news from Wikipedia. Following lengthy discussion on the talk page, they've removed Matt Goodwin's claim to be the first in his family to go to university on the grounds that it [checks notes] isn't true. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ma...

Zack Polanski challenges Nigel Farage to show down debate.

Zack Polanski challenges Nigel Farage to show down debate.

Let's talk about who funds Reform.

Let's talk about how disastrous Brexit has been.

Let's talk about why Gorton & Denton must vote Green & stop Reform.

Why so quiet, Nigel Farage?

Starmer toured Palantir US with Peter Mandelson, meeting billionaire co-founder and CEO Alex Karp.

The Lobbying firm Mandelson co-founded, Global Counsel, has counted Palantir as a client for years.

I’ve always wondered why misleading Parliament is a cardinal sin for MPs but misleading voters is just considered business as usual.

Peter Mandelson should not be an unelected parliamentarian for life. And neither should any of the other 800+ peers eligible to sit in the House of Lords. It should be abolished & replaced with a (small) elected second chamber.

Another broken promise from Starmer.

Elon Musk is claiming he’s risked everything to protect kids from sexual abuse mere weeks out from laughing while his AI chatbot was generating nearly 8,000 sexual abuse images per hour that overwhelmingly targeted girls and young women

Labour have sunk in the polls & no longer have enough support to beat Reform in the Gorton & Denton by-election or across the country. The Greens support continues rising, with people switching from Labour especially. Voting Labour in Gorton & Denton will let Reform in.

Lord Mandelson resigns from Labour Party over Epstein links Lord Mandelson said he did not wish to β€˜cause further embarrassment’ over his links to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein

There is MORE and they KNOW it!!

Term limits would be an easy reform if the govt doesn't have the guts or good sense to abolish.

All JK Rowling's talk about protecting women and children is such bs. It was always about hating trans people. She invited him to the Harry Potter Broadway opening in 2018. This was way after Epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from a minor.

Removal of the whip is the least of it. This looks like misconduct in public office.

I believe there is no time limit for prosecution for misconduct in public office. This happened in london. What are you going to do about it @metpolice.bsky.social ?

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he β€œmildly threaten” the Chancellor.

Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.

A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution

2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party

Protecting women and children, is it?

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…

And the usual voices who claim to care about β€˜women and girls’ have nothing to say.

We see you.

Our important work at Kent Council to spend Β£600k on a car park to provide free parking for Reform councillors while staff have to pay, is all part of our 'We don't give a shit about anyone but ourselves' policy.

In The GP local parties choose their candidate. They're not imposed as in Labour.

And of course if he had parachuted in they would have run on 'elect the local candidate'. I think shows another miscalculation by the LP NEC. They think that green leaders are like them and don't care about local democracy or about being honest as to whether they can represent the local people fully

β€’ Your friendly reminder that Lord Mandelson is still a member of the Parliamentary Labour Party and retains the Labour Whip.

β€’ Worth reflecting on all the MPs who lost the Labour Whip are were suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party for voting against the 2 Child Cap.

At this point the focus on Andrew Windsor by the UK media can only be read as a distraction from the FT's scoop about Mandelson and the very serious corruption allegations.

You can be kicked out of the Labour Party for retweeting Socialist Appeal, but associate with the world's most notorious sex trafficker of women and children and that's fine ...

Perhaps Steve could draft one of his little dossiers about Peter’s behaviour and pass it to the Times newspaper to publish? He seems to have profited endlessly and personally by repeatedly doing that.

Well that's awkward. In @REWearmouth's 2024 book, this lovely footnote appears, describing how Morgan McSweeney and Peter Mandelson had their first meet-cute in 2001 and developed a relationship thereafter. Such a mystery how Petey became Ambassador.

* The two grew to know and trust each other, and Mandelson remained a key influence on McSweeney's thinking.

Seems to me like the big question here is β€œwho knew what, and when did they know it”.
