Keir Starmer actually put this in a briefing to Labour MPs of 'useful questions to ask' today. The PM knew of Mandelson's relationship Epstein when he appointed him.
And yet thinks he can still exploit the grief of the victims. This is why he is not fit to be Prime Minister.

It really is time the House of Commons moved into the 21st Century and got rid of this outdated ruling of not calling an MP a Liar - they give themselves the title of "Right Honourable" when they prove every day they are anything but honourable & Hoyle demonstrated misogyny and racism as when Lee Anderson called Starmer a liar he was given the opportunity to withdraw his words @zarahsultana was given no such opportunity.

As I said yesterday: Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar.

🚨 BREAKING: Olly Robbins says that the Government tried to appoint Peter Mandelson without vetting "At the point of his appointment it was not actually a given he would be vetted... there was not stipulation from No 10 that he should be vetted"
English
Elliot Balson @ellbalson.bsky.social retweetledi
Just pointing out that I broke the story 7 months ago that Mandelson failed vetting from the security services and put it to Downing Street...so the idea that Downing Street only found out on Tuesday is complete nonsense.

Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar and if he had any decency, he would resign.

.@johnmcdonnellMP: "Isn't the reality this, that when he sought to realise his ambition to become leader of the Labour party with very little base in the party, he became dependent on McSweeney and Mandelson and Labour Together to organise, fund his election.."
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth
Will Starmer lead Labour into the next GE? It seems absurd to even ask the Q, but KS isn't naturally of the Labour right & doesn't have a political base in Labour - instead he's been used by the right of the party (and willingly so), and when they decide he needs to go, hes gone.

Labour MPs are now being told to quote an Epstein survivor to help protect the Prime Minister.
The same Prime Minister who knew Mandelson had maintained a friendship with Epstein when he appointed him.
They are shameless.

It’s so funny how it’s a building full of the nation’s most habitual liars taking it in turns to tell insultingly obvious pre-written lies for 90% of its working hours, but if one of them actually dares call another one a liar then they all gasp like someone’s fired a gun

Westminster bubble might dismiss this as “clip farming” or “student politics”- but the fact is - when the media class were heralding Mandelson’s appointment as “shrewd”, “genius” or “bold” etc. - Zarah was calling out the Epstein connection…
Can’t say no one raised it at time…

I remember when Robert Webb had to actually talk to the parent of a trans child on the radio and acted like a total coward because he couldn't really defend his position, then went back to being a bigoted ghoul afterwards.
TERFs are all such cowards.

My favourite Peep Show Queer Moment™ is when Robert Webb said that, if he was a child nowadays, he would've been trans'd because he didn't like football :-)

at this point i'm convinced that they could directly blow up british journalists live on air in front of the 70 million people in this country and the mainstream british press and the political establishment still wouldn't stop supporting israel

Isreal bombing ambulance crews live on Channel 4. The UK and the USA are still supporting this. Keep sharing, and don’t stop talking about Israel’s war crimes.
