A real pleasure to meet George Clarke and hear about his experiences growing up on a council estate. We both know the positive impact social housing can have on families’ lives. That’s why I’m determined to continue delivering more council homes as we build a fairer London for everyone.

I deleted my post from before… I thought it was fake So I went to WH Smith and here it is An unbelievable attempt to sanitise this man and normalise what’s he’s done.

BREAKING: Gordon Brown says Keir Starmer should stay as PM to "clear up the system and tackle corruption”

“We owe it to Epstein’s victims and to British democracy to demand historic change” Gordon Brown www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BREAKING: Gordon Brown defends Keir Starmer "I can look in his eyes and see he is a man of integrity. "He wants to do the right things. Perhaps he has been too slow to do the right things. But he must do the right things now. "Lets judge what he does"

When you start listing it, this government have already done a lot. The media are only interested in what causes division - it feeds the algorithm.

Raging Corbynites out in force demanding this be the end of Starmer. They smell blood. Kim Johnson just proudly announced Jeremy never had Mandelson in the party no but he did have many raging antisemites and took the party to the darkest place in history. Just run the country!

I didn't vote Labour BUT I believe Starmer to be an honest clever man of integrity These are essential PM qualities which have been lacking for so long in British politics We would be mad to descend into the pit that Johnson Truss and to some extent Sunak dug for us Slow but on the right track

Mandleson will be the catalyst to bring in changes that will clean up our politics. And Gordon Brown and Keir Starmer are exactly the duo to pull it off. Every cloud has a silver lining. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Of course she did. I bet she knew all along she hadn’t paid the correct tax on her house either. 🙄

Just a word of thanks to our fantastic media. Despite my racist bullying at school, having a senior colleague imprisoned for being a traitor, breaking the MP’s Code Of Conduct 17 times, my dodgy house purchase and even being in the Epstein Files, nobody is demanding I resign!

You kidding me?! This. Is. Not. Normal.

Hope Ed Davey is going to call for Ed Davey to resign now.

Good!! Keep going!

“Going on national television and admitting that he was wrong... I think that’s a huge step” Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda says she “commends” Sir Keir Starmer for apologising to fellow survivors for the appointment of Peter Mandelson as UK Ambassador to the US. #Newsnight

I’d like to see a poll that chooses between: It was stupid to appoint Mandelson but I’m so sick of this country imploding and changing PMs I’d rather stability. VS We should go through months of choosing a new leader. Most people are sick of leadership contests. Just run the country!

So Trump supports the Chagos deal. Lols to the right wingers that were hoping for this to fall apart.

Let’s be honest Mandelson was appointed mostly because it was known he swam in the same swamps as Trump. No they didn’t know he spilled state secrets, but they did know he spoke Trump’s language. We all knew it and thought it could be clever. Stop revising history.

Wild prediction - Starmer stays and this improves the public perception of him as they see he has grit and would be brought down like others have. (Ok wild hope maybe?)

I’m ever the optimist but is the Starmer furore calming? I’ve been out all day and no news channels talking about it.

This poll did not go well for GB News. Lol

2019. Nothing we have learned in the last couple of days is new. It doesn’t lessen its seriousness but it isn’t new info. We knew all this about Mandelson 7 years ago!!

The public were aware of everything that Starmer was aware of back in 2019 (inc. him staying at his house)as it was all in a Channel 4 Dispatches episode. So the media need to stop the pearl clutching. They also knew.

The media class build people when they want to. It was public knowledge at this point that Mandelson was friends with Epstein.

The presenter Stig on Times Radio getting furious when it’s pointed out by Steve Reed that they were happy to have Mandelson as a podcast host. Stig tries to say he was just a guest. Reed points out he was a host. He was. Did @thetimes.com know he was friends with Epstein? Double standards here.

This is the main problem. Anyone who had an ongoing relationship with Epstein after his conviction should have immediately been discounted.

Felt like Starmer got through that pretty well tbh #PMQs

Guys it’s ok to say Starmer got it wrong on Mandelson. It’s ok to say that. BECAUSE HE DID.

Me: “What about the fact that Trump was found guilty in a civil court for sexual abuse…was that not enough for you to withdraw your support?” Now listen to the response from Andrea Jenkyns of the Reform Party…

Oooh now this is interesting www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Epstein files are going to bring Starmer down and leave Trump untouched. This is not what we were expecting but just highlights everything wrong about the powerful people in charge of literally everything right now.

Listen to Starmer’s welcome on this show. (surprise Guest). If you’ve time listen to the whole thing. Starmer is so far from boring it’s untrue!!! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

After Emmanuel Macron wore aviators to Davos, would Keir Starmer ever do the same..?

Just listening to this podcast. It’s brilliant and Keir comes across very well. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

Well done anti vaccine lads. Slow hand clap for you.

I genuinely thought Braverman had already defected. 🤷🏼‍♀️

If that's what they're willing to do in public, while being filmed, what do they do behind closed doors? www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Literally couldn’t care less about Andy Burnham. You’re the mayor mate, do your job you were elected to do. We all know he only wanted to be MP so he could cause chaos and challenge Starmer. Sit down and put your ego back in the box Andy.

Yes Starmer! www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

Huh?!

HAHAHA!! Knew it. He’s full of orange BS! I bet this deal he’s got means expanding military bases which Greenland said they could do all along!

In his rambling history lesson, he has omitted the fact that the US is the only country ever to have invoked Article 5 of NATO, following September 11th attacks. NATO stepped up.
