“To us, he’s just Peter.” And oh how they laughed. No one is laughing now. Including Starmer.

@Ed_Miliband You have put us in this position. Energy prices are throught the roof. I have just paid £1.08 for a litre of heating oil. I am seething at this government. Netzero will be the end of us.

We’re facing the second fossil fuel shock in less than 5 years. Events far away are once again impacting families and businesses here at home. We can’t go on leaving our country so exposed. The solution lies in clean homegrown power we control. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Artemisfornow @oldtoonloon Yes they have invested my money in green renewable companies...and they will tax, tax, tax your pension until there is nothing left. Remember by 2027 , the state pension will now be taxed. How wrong is that!

You are being distracted by the Mandelson saga. And I get it, it’s a shit show. BUT ... FOCUS on the money! This is deadly serious. Labour is moving to direct how your pension money is invested! (its your money don't forget) This decision mirrors a global push, from the UNs Agenda 2030 (SDGs) to the WEF “Redirecting capital towards long-term sustainable investments”, in order to funnel citizens’ long-term savings into net zero infrastructure and climate projects. Oh and look … £ TRILLIONS have been promised to the Net Zero global industry. How else would they fund this bollocks? This wasn't Labour's bright idea you know 💣

The unraveling continues. On November 11 2024 the Cabinet Secretary advised Starmer: “You should give us the name of the person you would like to appoint and we will develop a plan for them to acquire the necessary security clearances and do due diligence on any potential Conflicts of Interest or other issues of which you should be aware before confirming your choice." Starmer ignored this advice. Appointed Mandelson December 2024, with vetting not done til January 2025. The rest is history

@lembitopik Great show. Of course he knew. But, he has had all weekend to pour over very word he will say later, and like a lawyer he will wriggle out of it.

“I don’t know whether Keir Starmer is a liar or just grossly incompetent” Reform Treasury Spokesman Robert Jenrick says the PM is “distracted” from the issues affecting the public by the scandal surrounding his appointment of Peter Mandelson #BBCLauraK bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@ArturNadol7566 @robilypj @UKSFO Deeply shocking. Another case, a another scandal , and yet no one is held to account - the innocent victim is left to suffer and in some tragic cases die. They should hang theor heads in shame.

THE MAN THEY JAILED TO SAVE THE BANKS Tom Hayes (@robilypj) walked into the Serious Fraud Office thinking he was helping them. He gave 80 hours of interviews. Named names. Pointed upward. He thought he was a whistleblower. The @UKSFO had other plans. In 2015, Hayes became the first person ever jailed for LIBOR rigging. Fourteen years. Then eleven on appeal. The judge literally said he wanted to "send a signal." To whom? To the junior trader who did what his managers told him to do at UBS (@UBS) and Citigroup (@Citi) while the entire industry played the same game. Recordings later broadcast by the @BBC suggest the orders to manipulate LIBOR came from senior bank officials. Some fingers pointed toward the Bank of England itself. Nobody in a corner office was charged. Nobody in a corner office spent a single night in jail. Hayes served five and a half years. He was held in a segregation unit for his own protection. He developed serious mental health problems. He has Asperger's syndrome. He lost his marriage. He lost years with his son. On 23 July 2025, the UK Supreme Court unanimously quashed his conviction. The jury had been misdirected. The trial was unfair. The conviction was unsafe. Ten years after he was locked up, five and a half years after he got out, the law finally admitted it got it wrong. He has now sued UBS for $400 million, accusing the bank of making him the perfect fall guy while UBS paid $1.5 billion in regulatory fines and walked away. The complaint says UBS stage-managed the narrative to protect senior executives. The Serious Fraud Office, which investigated, prosecuted, and failed Tom Hayes for a decade, will not be seeking a retrial. Of course it won't. MPs including David Davis are now calling for a public inquiry into what one group of parliamentarians described as collusion between banks and government. SFO itself has been criticised for the conflict of interest in acting as both investigator and prosecutor. Its own expert witness performance during the trials was described by the Court of Appeal as an embarrassing debacle. LIBOR set the interest rate on roughly 300 trillion dollars worth of financial products. Mortgages. Student loans. Credit cards. The banks rigged it. Nineteen traders were convicted across Britain and the US. Not one senior executive faced trial. Tom Hayes went to prison so the system could look like it was doing something without actually doing anything.
