From @politico.com We get the politics the few pay for. #democracy - it would be a good idea

How could I have possibly known that Peter Mandelson couldn't be 100% taken at his word, says Keir Starmer, about a man whose public nicknames include 'the Prince of Darkness' and 'the Dark Lord'

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

I just signed a petition calling for an urgent investigation into Peter Mandelson's dealings with Palantir. Did he use his position as UK Ambassador to benefit the US spy tech firm? Sign now: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/ma...

🔴Peter Mandelson’s Downfall Puts Morgan McSweeney’s Future in Doubt Keir Starmer insists he is sticking by his chief adviser in the wake of the Mandelson scandal, but others have their doubts, reports @adambienkov.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/02/05/p...

Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month" "That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group" "The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

Under my leadership of the Labour Party, Peter Mandelson had no role, no influence and no part to play, because I do not trust the man and I do not believe the man.

The European Commission must decide by 2 March whether it intends to give legal follow-up to a European Citizens’ Initiative that gathered more than one million signatures in 2025. It would allow EU states to voluntarily fund women's abortion care when they need to travel from another EU state.

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social : "The question is, fundamentally, one for the Prime Minister.. I cannot believe that when he was about to appoint Mandelson he wasn't made fully aware of all of Mandelsons record.. he would have known.."

We have 400 volunteers on the streets of Gorton and Denton today. Labour are out of it. It's Greens vs Reform. Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/exclus...

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social : "I can just confirm to the House, under my leadership [of Labour] Mandelson had no role, no influence & no part to play" It was precisely because Corbyn didn't represent the interests of the ruling class (like Mandelson did), that his leadership had to be destroyed

This is Nigel Farage with Nick Candy, the treasurer of Reform UK 👇 Candy appears numerous times in the Epstein files over more than a decade, The National has uncovered. The Scottish Greens are putting pressure on Reform to explain the links.

Not even burglars, let alone terrorists. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Huge story in @theipaper.com "[Mandelson] was very involved in all the details; I think he enjoyed it. He was involved in all the personalities and the mechanics including asking the question of who do we want in which seat" Probably a breach of GDPR laws too ... inews.co.uk/news/politic...

BREAKING: NO CONVICTIONS AS VERDICTS COME IN FOR FILTON24 TRIAL After 8 days of deliberation, the jury have not convicted Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Ellie (Leona) Kamio, Fatema Zainab Rajwani, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin on any charge. Defend Our Juries comment to follow.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals. When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We welcome today's acquittal of the 6 Palestine Action activists who had been charged with destroying equipment belonging to Israel's biggest weapons firm Elbit Systems. This huge victory must lead to further acquittals and the end of Britain's complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

If Labour is serious about taking on Reform, it needs to intervene to stop this closure. It’s a disaster for students,,staff and Southend. ‘If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university?

Tory legacy. Court system in England & Wales on 'brink of collapse', former senior judge warns. Years of austerity. Backlog of 79,619 Crown Court cases. Justice delayed is justice denied. Ending jury trials isn't the answer Need investment. Reforms - let courts sit 24/7.

Today, I am thinking of the countless victims of Epstein’s vile abuse. The files are an appalling reminder of a rotten political system that shields the rich & powerful from accountability. We need to build a new kind of politics — one that protects the safety & dignity of all.

We all had an amazing day out yesterday in Gorton and Denton, with the hundreds of people, from the local Green Party branches all across the country! It is clear that the Labour vote is collapsing, so it is truly a battle between hard-working Greens and Turquoise Tories.

BREAKING - DOJ co-founder Tim Crosland physically ejected from court. Tim was carried out of court today for attempting to explain to the judge that his hearing, and 1000s of others, are unlawful due to lack of legally-required procedural evidence. www.defendourjuries.net

Blink and you'll miss it - another Labour manifesto promise broken.

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world… And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say. We see you.

More revelations about the loathsome Mandelson, who once famously said: "We are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich as long as they pay their taxes."

Hundreds of volunteers hitting the streets this morning in Gorton and Denton. Lower bills, tax the super-rich- hope will win. Only the Greens can stop Reform in this by-election.

Nigel Farage claims that he's fighting the Greens. But for weeks now he's refused to debate me. Reform know Gorton & Denton are ready to vote for the Green Party.

Walking with the Jewish bloc in support of Palestine today. Est 100,000 protesting, just in case you don’t see this in the regular media. @jvl.org.uk @pscupdates.bsky.social @stwc.bsky.social

By-election latest: A Green Party source tells me the response in Gorton today has been so positive that they're reallocating resources to Denton. They claim ex-Labour voters say they can't vote for the party with Starmer as leader, so tactical voting doesn't come into it.

Hannah is just brilliant. She's funny, smart, VERY hard working, knows how to get her point across, and doesn't take no for any answer. What else could you want? 💚 #GortonAndDenton

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: 🐝 Our Parliamentary Candidate for Gorton and Denton is Hannah Spencer! 🪠 Hannah the working-class plumber will unclog the hate and division of Starmer and Farage!

Please join us and help make history at the Gorton and Denton by-election! 💚. We have a brilliant candidate, Hannah Spencer, we have momentum and we have a vital message - that the politics of hope *can* win over the politics of hate. We can win this! @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk

Delighted to announce Hannah Spencer as our candidate today. This race is between the Green Party and Reform. Hear from Hannah here 👇🏼 www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/people...

Reform have a nasty tendency to put forward candidates who have only ever worked as investment bankers but claim to speak for workers. Like Farage. @greenparty.org.uk puts forward a local plumber to stand in Gorton and Denton www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Palestine Action the only terrorist group that has never committed a terrorist act. A joke which makes a mockery of the law as well as being utterly reprehensible.

Reed helped found Labour Together, which spent years wrecking their own side just so they could regain control of the party. There then followed years of purges in order to cement that control. And now he has the front to tell Labour, stop looking in & face outwards!

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

The privatised water companies want the government to hurry up and abolish Ofwat How is that going to help? The government should hurry up and REMOVE their licences, starting with Thames Water *which wants to pollute outside of legal limits until 2040* www.ft.com/content/b9e5...
