The time Mick Lynch called the Lab candidate in Islington North "a private health profiteer" & Mandelson told him thats a nasty & disgraceful thing to say & a complete untruth
The host then interjects "he's an entrepreneur who's made money in private healthcare"
Mick: "Exactly"

"Can [Jones] reassure this house & the public, on behalf of the PM, that everyone in no.10 who advocated for/had influence in securing Mandelsons appointment, in spite of what was known about his relationship with Epstein, had security clearance?"
I wonder who Richard Burgon is referring to here!

Today, I am thinking of the countless victims of Epstein’s vile abuse.
The files are an appalling reminder of a rotten political system that shields the rich & powerful from accountability.
We need to build a new kind of politics — one that protects the safety & dignity of all.

So much of this sleaze was in plain sight. When US Ambassador, Mandelson took Starmer for a photo opp at Palantir, a client of Global Counsel in which he had a huge stake. This was a monstrous conflict of interest and it was all public domain. Why did Starmer think it appropriate to go?

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.

Netanyahu Says Israel Focusing on Disarming Hamas, Vows to Block Establishment of Palestinian State
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel would shift its focus to disarming Hamas and demilitarizing Gaza following the return of the last hostage from the Palestinian territory. ...
The war criminal and Jewish supremacist Netanyahu declares that he won’t allow the establishment of a Palestinian state. He is evil personified. An outright fascist and rascist bastard. Lock him up!

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Suella makes the ultimate sacrifice as she ditches Tories for Reform | John Crace
Most of those at Monday’s event had to remind themselves that Braverman hadn’t defected long ago
Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.

Hamza is 4 months old. He was born when doctors performed an emergency C-section on his dead mother.
Israel had previously murdered Diana and Omars three children, and when Diana was just days away from expecting Hamza they murdered her and Omar.

Reed helped found Labour Together, which spent years wrecking their own side just so they could regain control of the party. There then followed years of purges in order to cement that control. And now he has the front to tell Labour, stop looking in & face outwards!

In the least surprising defection ever, I'm delighted to welcome Suella Braverman to Reform. Her invaluable experience as a minister includes getting sacked from the same job twice and saying that being homeless is a “lifestyle choice”.

Jeremy Corbyn is correct on this.
“I am very concerned by the government's mass rollout of facial recognition technology.
This is a grave threat to privacy, and turns the presumption of innocence on its head.
We are hurtling toward a mass surveillance state. It must be opposed!”
