The global economy is heading for recession because of Trump’s war. Starmer has kept us out of it, he’s leading the response and starting to turn the economy round. And yet these fucking muppets are determined to drag him down.
Starmer isn’t resigning. And he won’t resign after the May elections. In my view.
EXCLUSIVE: Lord Mandelson was given approval for the highest level of security clearance during his tenure as British ambassador to the US despite failing vetting, The Times has been told Mandelson was given access to ‘strap 3’ material, the highest level of security clearance and is reserved for information which, if leaked, would present a security risk in itself or could put intelligence sources at risk Mandelson’s appointment was announced in December 2024, despite warnings from officials about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier and paedophile, and his business links to China and Russia On January 28, UK Vetting Security advised against appointing Mandelson. While the precise reason is not clear, it is said to relate to his foreign links rather than his relationship with Epstein Robbins was informed of the assessment, determined that the risk was manageable and gave him approval for security clearance known as “developed vetting” Shortly before his appointment, Mandelson was told to formally apply for strap clearance, but was warned it could take “at least three months”. The Times has been told that it was done quickly because of the significance of his role. A government source said this was not unusual for senior positions Strap three information is shared on a “need to know” basis and as British ambassador to the US, this was likely to have included intelligence on China, Russia and other foreign powers thetimes.com/article/4e05b5…
If you're an honest football fan, you'll agree with this statement: "Manchester City got very lucky this afternoon, on any other day Arsenal get a result." 🤬🤬🤬 I expect most of you to talk bollocks so fire away.
A lot of credit to Haaland on the Gabriel ‘head-butt’. If Haaland goes down, Gabriel gets a red.
