In case you haven’t had enough Mandelson, here is my account of his disingenuous role in foisting the Horizon IT system on the Post Office. From Post Mortem - available from all good booksellers!

<forensic statesman voice> my friends, our collective security is my primary concern. And I’m here to tell you that the true threat to peace & freedom in the western world is… the Green Party of England & Wales

(1)Wes Streeting's revealed Mandelson's resignation letter to US Embassy staff, which shows he doesn't tell the truth even at the end: In 2025 Mandelson claims to regret Epstein association "twenty years ago" - but Mandelson was close to Epstein inc. 2010-2012, not "20 yrs ago"

We need not tolerate these corporations and their complicity in the inhumane acts now being done by ICE, Border Patrol, and Trump’s Department of Homeland Security. Together, we’re even more powerful. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-biggest-corporations-helping

This is from Bloomberg/Alex Wickham's 'read out' of Starmer's weak position: The whole point of the Starmer "project" was to do stuff like cutting disabled people's benefits, without putting it in the manifesto: cuts + lying was the plan , now its crashed www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

BBC news unusually honest about McSweeney hiring Starmer, top story says "usually politicians choose their advisors, but this advisor chose his political boss" as McSweeney + "Labour Together" wanted to move Labour "from the left towards the Centre" and "identified Starmer as the man to do it"

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering. https://www.ft.com/content/c74170d3-237d-459c-8642-bfd71530897d

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks. He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger. Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

They've been laughing at us for years.

How did Labour Together pay for APCO’s work targetting journalists? Was it a specific donor? Was Labour Together’s board aware that Simons had commissioned APCO? What specifically did McSweeney know? These questions all remain unanswered

Labour Together's fantastical narrative about a hack led media outlets to spike stories about how McSweeney failed to declare £730k in funding That money paid for Starmer's leadership win. This is hugely significant democracyforsale.substack.com/p/labour-tog...

Josh Simons last night said Labour Together paid APCO £30k+ to identify journalists sources because they were worried about an illegal hack But there was no evidence of a hack -- but lots of evidence about what the journalists *were* writing about, the dark money that paved Starmer's rise

Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons commissioned PR firm to investigate journalists and their sources Why? Because they were digging into the dark money behind Labour Together, and Keir Starmer's rise Me on D4S, on why our revelations matter so much: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/labour-tog...

Just to say, that the Dark Place (Twitter) has overtaken Bluesky for sharing this article. I wouldn’t have it personally I would definitely RT and share this. It’s not a competition…but it is.

In 2019 Labour Deputy LeaderTom Watson and Peter Mandelson formed the "Future Britain Group" to rally Labour MP's against Leader Jeremy Corbyn. After they won, Watson and Mandelson's firm Global Counsel both became paid reps for Palantir It's what they fought for : www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

Team Starmer having an awayday to discuss performance targets

"The answers given.. were intentionally intended to create the impression that Mandelson barely knew Epstein.. I had no reason at that stage to think that was anything other than the truth" Because we've all stayed at the mansion of a billionaire we barely know, right Keir?

I know the govt thinks Artificial Intelligence will fix everything, but they want an AI PM to replace Starmer now ?

Lord Mandelson in disgrace The new Private Eye is out now.

Is this bit news, or did everyone always know McSweeney was Peter’s boy, taking his instructions? Did they know it when they were repeating drivel they were sent by Morgan in the secret wrecking campaign of 2018? Did they know this when they were talking up Sir Keir’s leadership campaign, or in 2024

(1)Peter Mandelson used Labour to enrich+promote himself, help his business pals +squash the left. He also led the "People's Vote" 2nd Referendum campaign to promote himself + squash the left + deliberately risk the "Hardest" Brexit along the way. Those saying Mandelson is a wrong'un should see this

Today: "Lord Mandelson could face a police inquiry as emails appear to show him revealing govt secrets.. messages allegedly show him sending paedophile Jeffrey Epstein sensitive financial details" Lord Walney last year: "Inspired choice as ambassador by Keir Starmer"

I remember meeting shadow ministers before the election, star struck by Peter Mandelson, who regularly advised them on policy. What has transpired over the weekend proves how poor is the judgement and values of a good section of today’s cabinet.

“What saleable assets” Epstein asked Mandelson Fast forward to October 12, Epstein has the list (which includes the *student loan book*, as well as other controversial proposed sales) & is telling Jes Staley to ”sit with Peter” to discuss same day, Mandelson is noisily defending the sell off 👀

(1)You sometimes get a v. immoderate, emotional reaction from "moderate' folk to basic , obvious points -like eg Starmer's Labour would prefer to risk Reform wins to Green wins, They aren't 'compromising', they really do like authoritarian pro,corporate policies , and want jobs with those corps....

From last July :Former Barclay's boss Jes Staley is banned from any Banking job cos of his Jeffrey Epstein links, revealed by the "Project Jeep" investigation. Mandelson's Epstein links were also revealed by "Project Jeep", but didn't stop Starmer hiring him morningstaronline.co.uk/article/pete...

Do we not think it might have been useful for the public to know Keir Starmer’s campaign manager was Peter Mandelson’s protege, at this point? Because it looks a lot like key people understood this was a bleak, utterly cynical fraud, and they chose to keep that info to themselves, for some reason.

Do we think “Oh and also, Keir Starmer is Mandelson’s candidate” was minor information that nobody would’ve been interested in hearing

For example: if the press lads not only knew in 2020 that McSweeney was the man behind the secret wrecking campaign that tanked his party, but they *also* knew he was Peter’s creature: why didn’t anyone mention this during Keir Starmer’s leadership campaign? You’d think it’d be relevant.

Seems to me like the big question here is “who knew what, and when did they know it”.

There’s a word that describes situations where professional people are aware of wrongdoing in the workplace, and they choose to not discuss it or reveal it to others, for fear that doing so might damage their personal interests and careers. Would you like to know what it is?
