This guy is an actual narcissist.
No one gives a fuck about his feelings.
Does he actually want sympathy? Everybody including him knew Mandelson was a crook. It was public knowledge. Starmer got it wrong but Labour MPs can’t get their act together and remove him. How can Labour be any more useless?
And yet he did it anyway starmer needs to stand down
The most basic due diligence would’ve prevented this btw.
We all know that if Johnson or Sunak had done something similar Starmer would have immediately called for their resignation. All politicians are hypocrites I guess but he could at least drop the self righteous act
If believe him more if he changed the word “up” to “off”.
Mandelson has a lot to answer for, his toxic influence on the Labour Party aided and abetted Tory election victories when Corbyn was leader and ultimately ensured Labour were just a Tory lite “party of Government not protest”
Loathsome individuals indeed
Starmer probably went with this despite everything because he knew Mandelson would get him favours with Trump. Being nonce-buddies and all.
But that’s also the main problem I have with Starmer. All his decisions are purely technocratic, like “what’s gonna give us the best outcome over the next 5 years”. But that’s not what we often want from a politician. Sometimes, it’s nice to have a politician willing to take a principled stance even if it’s going to harm us slightly in the short term.
He’s one step away from posting a Youtube style apology video.
He actually did? I mean, people would pay good money to see that… 😉
So he should do. But also I’m not a head of state – it’s not a job of easy clean decisions.
I don’t sympathise, he knows what his job is, but I do on some level understand why he hired a nonce whisperer to manage a dangerous nonce.
Starmer should stop beating himself up, and hire me to do it for him. I’ll accept minimum wage for this one.
I respect it tbh, haven’t had a prime minister with any accountability in a long time.
He should double down on it. “I chose him knowing he was neck deep in the Epstein scandal, so I sent him to trump, who is in way way deeper than neck deep, odd yellow tuft of hair deep, and knew Mandelson could give us leverage over trump”.
That’s about the only way he can get out of this scandal.
He didn’t care enough to even speak to Lord Mandelson before the appointment, but now he’s beating himself up over it? Why?
do you bro, boy that russian oil tanker looks mighty fancy
Fucking idiot of a PM. No he’s not as bad the increasingly terrible Tory line of failed leadership was but he sure lacks nouce/instincts for such a job.
Meanwhile the sweetheart deal that Mandelson got for Palantir is alive and well.
Mandelson got the job, because Starmers wife convinced him…. Why don’t people see the connection
Only cause he got
Caught and it came out in public forum!
Mandelson has been involved in various scandals going back decades. It’s not like Starmer could pretend he was appointing someone he thought was upstanding.
