Tax avoidance enthusiasts like Sir Jim need to stand together and put their foot down with a firm hand.

Surely this would risk upsetting the Blue Labour faction...

Quite apart from his association with a known predatory paedophile, Starmer ignored the glaring red flags in Mandelson's political background. It would have been astonishing if the appointment hadn't resulted in this meltdown.

No easy answers there... the inner circle at the top of Blue Labour looks very unappealing.

Minnesota girl, 10, released from ICE custody after a month in detention Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano and her mother released from Texas facility to head back to Minnesota to reunite with her father

The awful treatment of this 10 yr old Minnesota girl by ICE fills all parents & decent humans with revulsion.

Grabbed on her way to school & left in a Texas detention centre for a month. This is the iron fist of Trump & his ICE thugs on the most vulnerable.

Is Starmer being unfairly treated in the aftermath of the Mandelson shit show?

After all, Mandelson lied profusely through the vetting process. Starmer uses this defence as though the idea of 'The Prince of Darkness' telling porkies is somehow outlandish.

Has he never heard of the sniff test?

The name Maliphant jumped out at me and I looked it up, apparently it derives from the French, mal enfant, or naughty child. So now I'm picturing a herd of maliphants...

I just watched the first five minutes and I'm hooked.
Definitely on my watchlist.

PS – are you muscling in on Susie Dent's territory?

I really enjoy your podcast with your mate, Jemma.

As far as the name goes, 'The Trawl' I suppose I can take it or leave it.

Whereas, 'That Awful Podcast'! Absolutely brilliant, trust me, it will double your listeners.

Me:

β€œWhat about the fact that Trump was found guilty in a civil court for sexual abuse…was that not enough for you to withdraw your support?”

Now listen to the response from Andrea Jenkyns of the Reform Party…

There are always good recommendations for additional music in your playlists. Clever old algorithms aren't they?

Is the further embarrassment about him parading in his underpants, or the $50,000 bank transfer from Jeffrey Epstein (the one that doesn't appear in the MPs register of interests at the time, also the one he has no recollection of)?

I've got dozens of playlists with names like

Must make more of an effort πŸ€”

The private good/public bad religion has been massively discredited over several decades. Believe it if you like, it's a free country.
