Right decision, but it’s wild how Labour are falling apart. Reform are losing people every week too. The next few years are going to be interesting.
Right thing to do but why back him in PMQs? Is starmer TRYING to make himself look like a moron? Is he just a moron
Last Wednesday Starmer had full confidence in Rayner, by Friday she’s out.
This Wednesday Starmer had full confidence in Mandelson, by Thursday he’s out.
Who will be embroiled in scandal next week?
Are the adults going to be joining us back in the room at any point?
Hopefully we go back to appointing a qualified ambassador to the role.
I dislike external political appointments to such key roles.
Wow, he managed to not be sacked for financial shenanigans this time. At least he’s branching out
Again, the decision took far too long. Will Starmers next job will be in a circus?
He keeps doing this, jumps in to defend a dodgy minister, eventually the evidence becomes overwhelming, continues backing them until the media pressure becomes overwhelming then sacks them any way. It’s just entirely needless political damage he does to himself when he’d be better off just shutting up and saying “we’re looking into it” and then deciding whether or not to sack them.
Good to see him sacked. Now investigate and prosecute him and apply this globally. Go after every one of them.
But fuck me Starmer defending him yesterday was mental.
Good, but didn’t he say he had full confidence in him just the other day? Wonder what else is going to come out.
Right decision but Starmer looks like an idiot after the comments he made in PMQs JUST yesterday.
So he kept him on and fully backed him to ensure maximum damage when he finally sacking him
Because, uh. What?.
Starmer’s really not very good at this, is he.
Defended Rayner and then Mandelson, to then sack them in 24 hours.
They are falling apart at the seams.
Why is it that he comes out, defends them, then fires them? Why not skip that first step?
Feels like having a Tory government back in power. Give these people Reform-coloured rosettes and the general public would be chomping at the bit to vote them back in. Having said that if this happened in a Reform/Tory government I doubt they would be sacked at all…
Sack a career ambassador who was very popular with the existing administration.
Replace her with the sleaziest man of all time, who most of your backbenchers despise.
Make yourself look like an utter slimebag at PMQs by defending someone you appointed being best mates with a convicted sex criminal.
Then end up firing him the next day anyway – the week before a hugely important state visit by the US President.
My God. Keir Starmer has the political instincts of a fucking Pekingese. How long can he carry on like this?
another decision made too late AFTER a backing. What a complete idiot.
Incredible how Labour are unable to see 1 step in front of themselves
> Keir Starmer said leaked emails between Mandelson and Epstein showed a “materially different [relationship] from that known at the time of his appointment”.
I don’t see how they could possibly say this given Petey’s relationship with Epstein has been public knowledge for years. Anyone with even cursory knowledge of Epstein’s inner circle knows Mandelson was deeply involved with him.
This is also a big problem for Labour, as Mandelson and McSweeney have been the ‘brains’ of their project. It’s entirely likely that Mandelson will just carry on pulling the strings as per normal though.
Great news but starmer is a disgrace yesterday he said he had every but of confidence in mandelson
honestly couldn’t think of a better ambassador to the US Administration than epstein’s best friend
how long till we get some classic Trump free speech bullshit to get him appointed again?
Right after Starmer spent an entire PMQs defending him. What a bad look.
I voted for Labour last election thinking they’d make some mistakes given they haven’t been in power for 15 years, sure. But I am honestly appalled at the level of incompetence I’m witnessing lately. Starmer going to bat for a pedophile defender, right after going to bat for Angela Rayner dodging tax, is just… I don’t even have the words to describe how baffled I am.
lol Labour are so bad at picking there fights it’s insane. First Streeting and Labour came out defending him 2 days later they sack him.
Kier’s turning into the grim reaper. Imagine if your political advisor told you he was on the phone – yikes
Right decision but Starmer tied himself in knots before pulling the plug.
Is ‘I have full confidence in’ this person the kiss of death?
Incompetent politics from Starmer these past few weeks.
Must be hard not to find a wealthy pedo in a position of power nowadays.
Alistair Campbell is on the list too. Wonder if he’s sweating.
Hahahahahahaha Starmer buddy, why not before you defended the man?
Days after backing him publicly. This government is braindead. Got there in the end at least.
Mandelson wouldn’t have this problem IF HE WAS AMBASSADOR FOR AFGHANISTAN!
Every single man who has been in the Commons and Lords since the 1980s should be brought in for questioning now
This is absolutely sickening to the core
Starmer gives so mixed signals, this is right after he prayed for a person who’s so misogynistic, has said women are secon class, praises certain friend of certain someone, who is anti abortion, who has incited violence, who has said it is ok to kill innocent civilians (genocide or not, it is never ok to kill innocent civilians, kids, it is not ok to kill them by famine, by bombs, by displacing them from their safety of home, by destroying hospitals etc)
Mr PM please please take a ground and stand on it, splitting across two different high grounds is bad for your hammies, hips, glutes etc etc.
Fuck me Keir, could you go one day without a calamitous embarrassing fuckup?
Mandelson should never have been near this job in the first place. He’s a slimy crook and always has been. Backing him was completely incomprehensible.
Wow it took them a few days, I was fully expecting months of gaslighting a la Boris
It’s different from the other resignations/sackings in that’s it’s pretty ridiculous he was appointed in the first place
Not that I defend either side, but PLEASEEEEE watch Starmer at PMQ when talking about this.
unreal 24 hours
