Greens investigate ‘crackpot’ candidates after revelations in today’s Mail on Sunday

The MoS speaks exclusively to the Russian model - and Epstein victim - shown in *that* photo of Mandelson in his pants.

@NickAmes82 Nothing personal, Nick. I enjoy your reporting…and no-one likes fence-sitting…but still think this is almost comically OTT.

@MarkHookham Big fan of your work too, Mark.

Politics and football don’t mix? Tell that to Ipswich’s players, who are not happy about Farage’s visit. What a mess, and many tough questions still to answer: theguardian.com/football/2026/… #ITFC

Forty years in politics, I can tell you everything in this is correct and we’ve got a major electoral problem. The police, Electoral Commission, and many councils don’t take it seriously enough. It advantages some politicians so there’s pressure to ignore it. We need change.

EXPOSED: Andrew's messages about £100,000 payment for Beatrice and Eugenie from tycoon known as 'Spotty' that have sparked demands princesses 'come clean' about their finances - and Beatrice's eye-poppingly jet-set year trib.al/8JqG81q

Andrew leaked inside intel on £3billion Lloyds branch sell-off to banker friend - just hours after ex-Prince held official Buckingham Palace meeting with boss of bailed-out high street banking giant trib.al/tLrkSR1

@benmoores2 @GarethJennings3 It’s not silly, it’s flippant. It’s also the logic of your argument. For years, accounts like @pinstripedline used X to undermine mainstream news reporting that highlighted procurement blunders and the glaring gaps in UK defence capability. Now chickens are coming home to roost.

@MarkHookham @GarethJennings3 That all sounds very silly, surely we can use twitter for good Mark?

A classic take from a ‘commentator’ who, over the years, has gone out of his way to defend government incompetence and MoD blunders.

@benmoores2 @GarethJennings3 Should we ask the US/Israel and Iran to just hold fire for a fortnight because they clearly don't understand the complexities of defence and we need a bit of time to get our (one) warship in place?

@GarethJennings3 @MarkHookham All too often I opened up with "why dont you just", but it was an interesting learning curve; never dull learning about the complexities and realities of Defence.

As reported by the MoS yesterday…
