@jk_rowling @MForstater Are Jolyon's other friends in the room with him now?

@MForstater And which of us would you say is more peculiar? It's OK, you can say it, I have broad shoulders.

I've met both JK Rowling and Jolyon Maugham, so there! 😁

NARRATOR: JK Rowling had never met Jolyon Maugham. They were never friends. Her close friends remained her close friends. Jolyon Maugham remained a fixated loon.

What did the PM tell officials tasked with assembling documents about Mandelson to send to Parliament? Surely he talked to them about the fact that it was a political appointment he initiated? Where are the notes and papers about the process and political override?

@afneil @danielmgmoylan They’re all lying
This entire Government is a bunch of dishonest and incompetent crooks
We need a General Election.

We now have the Government response:
Neither the PM nor 10 Downing Street nor the Cabinet Office knew the Foreign Office had decided to ignore the fact Mandelson had failed his security vetting.
Call it the ‘know-nothing’ government.
But it leaves a major question unanswered: why would the FO take it on itself to make such a huge judgement call — and not inform/consult Downing Street?
What was in it for the FO? It hadn’t even necessarily wanted Mandy, unlike Starmer and the 10 Downing Street operation.
Doesn’t add up.

BREAKING NEWS (with the potential to be massive): The Guardian reveals Peter Mandelson failed advanced security vetting before becoming US ambassador. He was initially denied developed vetting clearance in January 2025 - weeks after Keir Starmer had officially announced his appointment. Foreign Office was ‘encouraged’ to deploy a rarely-used power to override the recommendation from security officials. The Government promised total transparency on the Mandelson affair after MPs forced it to release of a batch of documents about the process. But nothing it has released reveals this startling fact. Indeed, Starmer has always insisted Mandelson was subject to 'security vetting, carried out independently by the security services, which is an intensive exercise that gave him clearance for the role'.

We were told he was exceptionally bright, forensic, no less.
Yet the Speaker had to point out to him that Prime Minister's Questions involves the Prime Minister actually answering the questions put to him.
God help us.

@CountBiffa @C4Ciaran News isn't always new, you are right. Still a story, though.

@CountBiffa @C4Ciaran So because it isn't new, it isn't wrong?

Vape shops — I can share some disturbing new claims about rogue vape shops and an ‘epidemic’ of grooming.
Trading standards officers tell us
of complaints children are being handed free vapes in return for ‘sexual favours.’🧵

@RobertJenrick @Deedy2201 They are protected by Starmer's people. This was made obvious by the immediate "Welsh choirboy" spin put into action on their behalf. They've had special treatment by the police the whole time and are now where? Costing us what?

Starmer and Reeves would rather pay people to do nothing than pay to defend the nation - leaving us more vulnerable than at any time in our history

@IsabelOakeshott @Rardway @Kevin_Maguire @ZackPolanski Its quite frankly a ludicrous tax that a company has to pay tax on a dividend.
They already pay taxes on earnings, so it's effectively a double tax.
Same as VAT on petrol is a double tax.

I wonder perhaps if maybe they could also look into the enormous weight of electric cars.

“Water, soil, and oxygen should not be infinitely accessible. They are assets that should be included in global economic balance sheets.”
This is not satire. The World Economic Forum wants to monetise breathing.

Keir Starmer did not “fight” for me when I was sexually abused from age 5.
Nor the countless little girls like me who were groomed, raped, tortured and killed.
He silenced us.
He betrayed us.
He failed us.
Keir Starmer didn’t care until it became politically convenient for him

@JackBMontgomery A good question, but what is there to say beyond him not fancying the gig?

IF the Prime Minister cannot or will not answer serious questions, then there is no point in PMQs-it’s just bad theatre. He doesn’t deserve an audience

Unless we have photo ID, elections are obviously subject to massive unprovable fraud
