Tell you what, we should take the opportunity to clean house while we’ve got the paperwork out for Mandy and get rid of a bunch more of the feckless bastards.

Starmers got a cheek he was in a cia backed org undermining the UK

At *least* i would think. Get him up testifying in the States alongside No Sweat Andy.

Remove Mandelson and Michelle Mone at the very least.
Then cull those who sit in as is minimally required and basically sleep through sessions to claim their allowances (think benefit scroungers) and get rid of Evgeny Lebedev.
Then give John Bercow a peerage.

> The cabinet secretary, the UK’s most senior civil servant, will also investigate Mandelson’s actions as business secretary when Labour was last in power, after emails to Jeffrey Epstein about government policy emerged.
But no investigation into how he became Ambassador to the US despite objections from the security services? Alright.

I’d really rather my tax payers money wasn’t going towards people who think it was wrong Epstein was convicted and that it wouldn’t happen in the UK.
“I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened. I can still barely understand it. It just could not happen in Britain. You have to be incredibly resilient, fight for early release and be philosophical about it as much as you can.”

I completely agree with Starmer on this!
Claire Fox, Johnson favoured ennobled young former staffer and a host of others can go too!

Everyone knew he was best mates with Epstein and Starmer still had him in his inner circle in any just world Starmer would have already resigned

Mandelson’s links to Epstein have never been a secret. The arrogance of the Labour right to think they could get away with it.

They should… Are you going to do anything, or will Glasman tell you to u-turn on it as it would piss off Bannon?

He should be in prison. It’s clear he was actively participating in the sex trafficking, potentially with underage victims. And even if that wasn’t true, news broke today that he fed sensitive information about our government to Epstein in return for money. Deeply corrupt.

Can he be prosecuted too..? Some actual consequences for these depraved individuals would be great.

Why this idiot of PM made him embassador to the US?
Where are the intelligence services?

Anyone involved in Epstein and Covid money scandals, should be stripped.

Why? Starmer was going to abolish the house of lords. Man the fuck up and do it

Funny how everyone, including the security services, warned him about Mandelson, but he (or McSweeney) knew better. If I was one of the ministers they sent out to do media supporting the decision to send him to DC I’d be livid. Shockingly poor judgement, but I bet there’s zero blowback for whomever thought it up.

Labour supporters had a fit over Boris Johnston’s mis-guided decision to have some cake at a party during lockdown, calling him a disgrace and for immediate resignation.
Starmer literally ignores secret service information to appoint someone with known connections to a peodofile into a porminat goverment role. And the response is?
Honestly, how can you think someone who would make such a decision is suitable to make decisions on behalf of the country.
If Starmer had no clue about Mandelson, that would be one thing, but not only was it already widely known, Starmer was literally informed of this by the Secret service.

Hate to say it, but I’m not in favour of the House of Lords stripping anyone of a peerage except in cases of serious criminal conviction. That kind of power is too easy to misuse.
Mandelson leaking documents to unsavoury figures isn’t exactly shocking: he was literally nicknamed the “Prince of Darkness.” That was half the job description.
The personal emails with Epstein after he was convicted, though, were genuinely off the wall.
Also, can we all please stop using the word “strip”? That photo of Mandelson in his boxers is now living rent-free in my head.

Should strip him of his skin as well, and anyone else that had anything to do with epstein
FuzzBuket on
On one hand, absolutely.
On the other starmers and co have known about mandelson for years, and dragged their feet heavily when removing the ambassadorship.
This is to sate the public rather than ethics
