Mandelsonβs advisory firm Global Counsel to go into administration
Collapse follows revelations about former peerβs relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
This might be the first positive contribution to public life Peter Mandelson has ever made - albeit that he did it by accident.

Ah Matt turn off comments.
Why?
Maybe to stop people pointing out that:
a) All Reform MPs voted against the Workersβ Rights Bill
b) He took a hefty salary from a Hungarian far-right organisation
c) He doesnβt even live in the areaβand likely wonβt be seen after the election
d) All of the above?π€

Northern communities are bearing the brunt of DWP and water company deductions
The DWP is allowing water companies to go after benefit claimants living in the most deprived areas to collect debt for water bills
UK Dept of Work and Pensions deducted Β£32.4m from Universal Credit to pay poor people's water bills.
People in the North hit the hardest.
Water companies pay dividends, exorbitant exec pay, fleece customers, don't pay fines.
Now allowed to rob the poor, with full complicity of the state.

UK Palestine Action ban ruled unlawful, in humiliating blow for ministers
Thousands arrested for supporting group since proscription are now in legal limbo as Mahmood says she will appeal
It's depressing that ministers ever thought this was proportionate, and disgusting that they haven't immediately accepted the judgement.
I expected such levels of knee-jerk stupidity from Braverman. But we voted Labour because we wanted better.
Be better.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, weβll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβall so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services arenβt for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.
Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.
Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.
