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. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

MUST WATCH: Olly Robbins confirms that Starmer personally chose Mandelson and that the FCDO was told to make it happen. Security officials said he shouldn’t get clearance. They were overruled. Starmer then told the public Mandelson had “clearance for the role.” He must he take responsibility and resign.

Mmm.. Sir Olly Robbins (full name: Sir Oliver Robbins) joined the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) as Permanent Under-Secretary (the most senior civil servant role, also Head of the Diplomatic Service) on 8th January 2025. But Mandelson's pass said 6th January!

BREAKING: This is ABSOLUTE HILARIOUS 🔥 🇺🇸Trump: "United States and Italy have been friends since the time of Ancient Rome, Yeah since Romans." 😂 *6 days after* 🇺🇸Trump : Italy wasn’t there for us, we won’t be there for them. This man is BIGGEST LIER on earth 😂

I am so proud of Ciara - our Co-Chair of @YoungGreenParty and the next Cllr for Herne Hill and Loughborough Jnc. Today, she is rightly named The Times 'Young Power List'. She epitomises HOPE.

Ranvir Singh: "I'm afraid it taps into that very deep feeling of, the people we vote for are not the people who are running the country.. we think we've got a democracy that's open and fair, we don't, it makes you feel that way" #GMB

Keir Starmer, 2020: "When they made mistakes, I carried the can. I never turn on my staff and you should never turn on your staff." Olly Robbins has now been sacked. Morgan McSweeney resigned. Tim Allan resigned. Sir Chris Wormald resigned. Starmer should be the one resigning.

Donald Trump openly turns the US Presidency into a cheap infomercial. After billionaire Michael Dell funnels over 6 billion dollars into his political project, Trump literally orders the public to buy his computers on live TV. The White House is entirely for sale.

"We're now in a situation where the defence budget is so small" The UK is the 5th highest military spender in the world. Only the US, China, Russia and Germany spend more than us.

WOW. Our @younggreens now have 50,000 members - they are the biggest political youth movement in the UK. And we're growing. Every single day I am meeting more young greens out on the streets campaigning. This is how we make change happen. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

#Peace is not something we must invent: it is something we must embrace by accepting our neighbor as a brother or sister. We do not choose our brothers and sisters: we must simply accept one another! We are one family, inhabiting the same home: this wonderful planet that ancient cultures have cared for over millennia. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

Surely if Starmer is out over Mandleson, then Streeting must be out the running too?

Tom Nichols spent nearly 20 years teaching just war theory at Harvard. He is precise about what Vance got wrong. The just war tradition does not tell Christians when God is on their side. It regards war as evil and every life taken - ally or enemy - as a tragedy. Its conditions - just cause, right intention, proportionality, last resort - are not a permission slip. They are questions a leader must answer before risking his mortal soul by sending people to die. After Vance's remarks, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops doctrine chairman put it in writing: Pope Leo is not offering opinions. He is exercising his ministry as Vicar of Christ. That is Bishop Massa's clarification, addressed directly to this situation. Vance told the pope that theology should be "anchored in truth." Nichols identifies that phrase correctly: it means nothing. Whose truth? The bishop of Rome, whom Catholics believe speaks with charism on matters of faith and morals, was told by a recent convert that he should go do his theology homework. The Catholic tradition Vance cited has a name for this disposition. Pope Gregory the Great called pride the queen of all vices. The Latin word is superbia. Proverbs 16:18 has been in the text considerably longer than the Iran war.

Trump: If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, it would blow Italy up in two minutes Italy PM: Nine nations have nuclear weapons and only one has used it. That one is the United States of America.

Something dangerous is happening in Gaza. Over the past months, we have been noticing a clear rise in cancer cases, especially breast and uterine cancers. But this is not just about disease. This is about a system collapsing around patients, leaving them with nowhere to go. Two days ago, a woman came to our clinic. F.J. 32 years old. We suspected masses in both of her breasts, different sizes. The ultrasound confirmed it. What remained was the biopsy, the one step that could define her future. It costs 800 Shikel = 250$ For most people, this is a medical step. But for her, it is a decision between life and nothing. She lives in a tent. Her husband is injured in both legs, with metal plates, and depends on ongoing physiotherapy, which we provide at the clinic. They have nothing left. For them, this amount is impossible. In a place like this, illness is not just painful. It is financially selective. Sometimes, death becomes the cheaper option. In cases like this, I usually try to find a way. I contacted a colleague who works with an international medical program, a program that used to cover the costs of more than 100 patients every month. I asked him to add her case urgently. He paused,then he told me: “The program stopped… a few days ago.” Why? Because the organization discovered fraud and theft by a private hospital that had been receiving more than half a million dollars every month for multiple projects (including pathology services). Because of greed, thousands of patients are now left without care. As if this people needed more suffering. As if it was not enough to lose homes, safety, dignity. Now even their illness.. is being traded. And this is only one story. How many women are now sitting in tents, feeling a lump in their body, and waiting? Waiting without diagnosis. Waiting without treatment. Waiting for pain to become something irreversible. How many will lose their chance at early treatment? How many will reach hospitals only when it is too late? How many will live with permanent disability, because something simple was delayed? And even when treatment exists outside Gaza, patients cannot reach it. Because the Israeli army continues to restrict and block medical evacuations. People who could be treated, are trapped. Cancer patients. Children. The wounded. Waiting for permission that may never come. This is not one failure. This is a chain of failures. A siege that limits medicine. A system that collapses. Corruption that steals what little remains. And in the middle of it all patients .. Waiting. This is not a story you will see on most news channels. Because it does not fit a narrative. But this is our reality: A place where people are left in tents, left in poverty, left in hunger, left under siege, and now .. left to die from diseases this war has helped create. We may be able to help this one woman. We may find a way for her. But the question that does not leave me is this: How many others will never reach us? How many names will we never hear? And how many lives will quietly disappear because no one was there to pay the cost? #WoundedGaza

Marco Rubio: “Imagine if Iran invested in its people instead of weapons.” Donald Trump: “We can’t afford daycare or Medicaid… we need more for the military.” The irony practically writes itself.

#GMB: "Good morning Britain. Resign Prime Minister. Opposition leaders call for Sir Keir Starmer to stand down as the scandal over Lord Mandelsons appointment grows. Sir Keir is accused of lying to parliament..." Keir Starmer lying? Who could have forseeen that!

Wow people are flooding the streets of New York putting up posters right now calling on everyone to Boycott the Met Gala since Jeff Bezos and his new wife Lauren Sanchez are the honorary Co-Chairs and Lead sponsors this year.

Darren Jones: "You can't criticise the PMs judgement for information that was not given to him" Kamali Melbourne: ".. he should have asked the right question" Spot on. We're expected to believe that Starmer didn't see the vetting, didn't ask about it & didn't ask to see it
