Personally, I think any politician who believes Epstein’s conviction for child abuse was wrong, or claims it could not have happened in the UK, has no place in a Labour Party that claims to have any moral integrity.

Starmer has overseen many expulsions for far less than this. We now have concrete evidence of a close relationship that continued after his conviction and financial ties.

The Labour disciplinary process exists to punish internal political dissent.
It has very little to do with actually upholding standards.
Thats why when the EHRC recommended that the system be reformed so that it is independent of the leaders office Strmer refused (and Mandelson publicly urged him to refuse).

Expulsions are only for leftists, not potential pedophiles

Him and Tony Blair. Both been toxic slime damaging the party for decades.

Apart from everything else, it’s the pathetic grovelling begging behaviour that is so cringe.

“But I can’t remember getting that money, or posing in my underwear with a girl. I can’t remember, I can’t remember.”
Reptilian c*nt.

Anyone in the Epstein files should be cancelled. It shouldn’t matter what side they are on.

Labour have suspended party members for sharing a stage with Ken Loach. I’m sure they’ll take a principled stand and expel a guy for standing with Jeffrey Epstein any minute now. Real soon. Any minute now ….

I thought expulsion was only for critics of Israel?

They have not done enough damage to the party’s reputation to expel Mandelson yet.
Need a few more days of this torture before acting. It is the Labour way!
Of course – they may have learned from the last few scandals and u-turns – but doubt it.

Would that be the third or fourth time he’s been removed? Could be the fifth actually?

At least investigate him criminally. We cannot have pedos walking around unpunished just because they are politicians.
He’s either guilty or not. Do something.

Here comes a test of whether Labour care about morals and standards, or just self interest.

I wonder what McSweeney has on Starmer and what Mandelson has done for him to do so much to keep Mandelson not only in Labour, but ontop of it.

TIL he’s still in the party! I assumed he’d have been kicked out long before now.
