Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit
Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

Just arrived at my daughters place. Loads of books, vinyl, a friendly cat and a beautiful fireplace. I may not move out. The Kipper the Dog soft toy on the mantelpiece was bought by me for her first birthday. She's 26 on Sunday. Out for beers later around Leith.

Up early in the morning for the train to Edinburgh to visit my daughter for her birthday. I'm very excited to see her again and get back to Scotland.

Israeli Air strikes in Gaza kill 24 people, including 3 children. At least 556 people have been killed in Israelo strikes since the ceasefire took effect on 10 October. IN PHOTO: Raed al-Khabbaz carries his 3-month-old daughter Mira al-Khabbaz, who was killed in an Israeli military strike.
Another day another war crime by Israel.
Every single day they murder children.
The most depraved entity on earth.
Take action to stop them every way you can.

An image of Peter Mandelson and Keir Starmer in front of text which reads: STARMER MUST GO Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE169GQ
Keir Starmer knew that Peter Mandelson continued his close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein's conviction for child sex offences.
He brought him into the heart of the Labour government anyway.
Starmer cannot continue as Prime Minister. He must go.
