And is blatantly not saying sorry or taking a shred of responsibility about his own past behaviour.
Typical Reform hypocrisy.

A bad decision no one really opposed and certainly weren't outraged about. Hypocrisy visible from space this week.

Where was your judgement moments before you were thrown out of PMQs Richard?
Spare us your santimony.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For β€˜doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

A far more important lapse of judgement than Mandelson.
Covering this up is mindbogglingly negligent.

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face

A conversation taking place in a financial vaccuum. Not the real world. Industrialisation is destroying the planet. Evan. Typical economist.

The trouble is he uses it on deadly serious subjects and often sounds naive, unserious, trivial.

Um no. Lets swerve off to talk generalisations.

So many pearl clutching gotcha's flying around..

Wow. So much for all the hardline arguments against #PalestineAction.

Criminality while in public office. Yes lets investigate Mandy...and all the dodgy Covid VIP bullshit too. Literally stealing from all of us.

Hmm hindsight's a wonderful thing. Personally I thought it made sense. Given what we knew about him then. It fit. Somebody slightly questionable to deal with some totally questionable.

Blimey. Their tone deafness is quite astonishing when it comes to who they have on. Like the parade of disgraced ex-Tory MPs they're regularly helping rehabilitate with appearance on R4. That's at least traceable to the Gibb Effect. But having Mandy on...talk about judgement failure.

Burnham was nothing to do with money, despite what Labour said. Why would Starmer allow a challenger in.

I'm sorry you're affected by the WASPI thing Simona. It's a travesty. I just don't see how it can ever be put right. Really right.
