Utterly laughable on @bbclaurak.bsky.social if thereโ€™s a leadership change at @teamlabouruk.bsky.social there needs to be a general election

Where the fuck was that argument when the Tories changed them weekly

Martin Rowson on Peter Mandelson and the Labour party โ€“ cartoon Keir Starmerโ€™s position as prime minister has been undermined by the latest revelations from the Epstein files

Peter Mandelson was one of the triumvirate who brought the wretched neoliberal centrist New Labour lot into power along with Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

โ€˜We need to accept the costโ€™: future of British Steel unclear as bills for government build up Propping up operations at Scunthorpe site, still legally owned by Jingye, now costs over ยฃ1.2m a day โ€“ so what are the options?

Future of British Steel unclear as UK govt bills build up.

Industry subsidised since privatisation.

Chinese control model: Buy crucial industry abroad, gut it, increase exports from China, dependance on China.

Govts hand free money. No equity stake, nothing repayable.

Must nationalise.

Post-Brexit sales of British farm products to EU fall by 37% NFU warn it could take years to restore Brexit losses despite efforts to smooth negotiations on farming and other elements of UK-EU reset

โ€œIt could take years to restore Brexit lossesโ€

Especially if Farage comes along and tears up the โ€˜resetโ€™ as he threatens.

Honest to god.. itโ€™s such a tedious, idiotic, resource-sapping mess. Thereโ€™s really nothing patriotic about it. Prejudice costs such a lot.

Keir Starmer made a speech about Epstein survivors saying how unacceptable it was that they faced barriers to justice.

BUT HIS OWN GOVT has blocked justice for hundreds of Harrods abuse & trafficking survivors.

Complete hypocrisy ๐Ÿ˜ก

Nigel Farageโ€™s Epstein Hypocrisy The Reform leader's own connections to the Jeffrey Epstein story are far deeper than he now pretends

Farage - a total hypocrite on the Mandelson appointment. And, besides, the Epstein files expose him too.
A grubby apologist to Trump. A useful idiot to Bannon. And a traitor to the UK.

Bang on the money:

โ€œLet it haunt Trump and his racist followers that future Americans will embrace the Obamas as beloved figures while studying him as a stain on our history.โ€

Trump is determined to be remembered as a 'great man'.
His curse is that he won't be.

This is good from Gordon Brown - now these measures need to be put in place as a matter of urgency.
