>Lord Mandelson is close to Sir Keir’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, who is known to have been keen on the appointment – and the pair spoke regularly.
Mark my words, there will be more briefings against McSweeney soon. After all the reshuffles he will have made lots of enemies, some will no doubt know his role at getting Mandelson the job. And with the media having tasted blood twice (Rayner and Mandelson), they will try to get McSweeney down from his high horse too.
Starmer doesn’t care about how competent or suitable people he apoints are. He only cares about their personal loyalty to him and their commitment to Blairism.
So annoying to agree with kemi “anchor baby” badenoch but Mandy has always been a dodgy manipulative politician and has no business in the Lords never mind an ambassador job. One of Labours more insidious stains.
Starmer has serious questions to answer. This could seriously lead to him having to resign if it goes badly.
This was such a perfect moment for Labour to take a huge majority with a five year parliament and a clear mandate to shake things up, and really deliver for ordinary people. We’re barely a year in and already it is collapsing into infighting, or under the weight of its own incompetence. How they could send people out to defend Mandelson after these emails came out, and then sack him two days later with no new information, just beggars belief.
I do actually think it demonstrates that no one is in charge. Starmer is probably such a process driven and consensus driven guy that he doesn’t like to step in to overrule people, and the rest of the operation is in fighting day to day and there is no one with the power to step in and say no.
It’s not as if his record is glowing prior to his being appointed anyway. The guy is, and has always been, a total scumbag. People questioned his appointment at the time and rightly so.
Surely this will be the third and last time Mandelson is sacked in disgrace amid a government scandal, right guys?
Right?
I remember lots of people of the left-wing expressing *frustration* when Mendelson was appointed, plenty of people where talking about his Epstein links then and his previous sackings for scandals. But apparently this was a pragmatic appointment.
Can McSweeney just go? He’s fucking useless and only in his position due to something he was just happen to be right place right time
They were kicking people out of the party for liking tweets by the green party, then looking at Epstein’s self proclaimed bestie and thinking he’s just the guy gor a senior appointment.
This is Chris Pincher all over again, then. The PM is responsible. And for consistency he should resign.
This government is not only terrible at governing – it’s also terrible at politics. Why come out and defend a man, for a full hour in PMQs, only to get rid of him the day after?
How can you not see, defending the ‘best pal’ or a paedophile, is going to end in disaster?
Starmer is completely out of his depth. So much so, even the likes of Badenoch are able to put one-up on him.
I feel so hopeless, stuck in this endless Tory-Labour duopoly of bullshit – and the only likely alternative being the Chief of Bullshit, Nigel Farage.
