Thereby bringing UK policy back to 1960, when it dawned that snubbing the European Community had been a disaster...so let's try to organize an 'alternative' European Free Trade Area..which a year later was conceded inadequate with Macmillan announcing the UK wanted to join the Community after all.

Why would anyone pay any attention to the man who Chaired the first major UK bank to become insolvent in over a century, and then of course blamed it on the government?

A failed trainee solicitor could probably see that the proscription of Palestine Action would collapse at the first legal challenge. The cost of damages to the RAF aircraft at Brize Norton claimed by govt looks made up. All a deflection from the Defence Ministry's own abject security failures.

You got it. They ruled an Empire. That collapsed, owing at least in part to their stupidity and bigotry. So now they turn inwards and want to colonize their own people .

Yes...when Labour came to power with people of top-down intellectual power & confidence and determination for not 'change' but radical reform. Bevin, Bevan, Crosland, Castle, Jenkins, Brown, Cook, Blunkett, Dewar...where are they now?

Sadly the longer this saga of how the English system works goes on, the more the grotesque absurdity of the Honours system is also once again shown. How are you Knighted as Director of Public Prosecution when you evidently have no ability to detect lies and no judgement of character?

If it's the exit of a voice telling Starmer he mustn't say a word or do a thing to offend Brexit voters, then it might just be the end of the beginning of Starmer's premiership. But next he has to axe a clueless, vacillating Chancellor

Our heroes from the 14th Brigade "Chervona Kalyna" sent us a video to thank us for raising funds for drone detectors.
They allow soldiers to detect enemy drones early, while the drone is still far away. This early warning gives precious time to save lives.
Help us buy even more drone detectors๐

The problem has been highlighted by Harriet Harman. If Starmer's excuse is that he was lied to by Mandelaon, how are we to take this as adequate from someone knighted for service as Director of Public Prosecutions, which might suggest some professional expertise in spotting liers?

He didn't plot to topple an elected government, but clearly broke secrecy law and betrayed the public interest. And this is still going on daily in government with 'Special Advisers' promoting the interests of lenders & private equity in Thames Water - to name one example - not the public.

Mandelson told Epstein JPMorgan should โthreatenโ UK government over banker tax
Then business secretary advised sex offender on how Jamie Dimon should lobby chancellor in 2009
crucial to remember here that Mandelson - who is shown trying to undermine the bank bonus tax in 2009 - went on to work for JP Morgan as a client of his Global Counsel advisory firm
