Hoist with his own petard.

I did say he should have gone before it gets worse…

Earlier today, I asked the Government to come clean with the public on the Mandelson affair and release the list of documents that have been withheld from publication, under the Humble Address, by the Metropolitan Police. As former Attorney General, Sir Michael Ellis, confirmed last week, the Government have no legal excuse to withhold this information that we have been waiting months for.

Starmer’s entire defence now rests on a paradox. He claims he was “kept in the dark” about Mandelson’s failed vetting, but also wants credit for following “full due process”. He sacked Olly Robbins for supposedly not telling him, and then sat on the explosive fact that security services had recommended blocking Mandelson before his appointment. Meanwhile, Cat Little tells MPs that due process was followed and the system did what it was supposed to do. So Parliament has been misled either about the process, about the timing of what Starmer knew, or both. Under the Ministerial Code, misleading the House is normally a resignation issue. Starmer is trying to pretend it’s just a “communication breakdown”. It looks a lot more like a cover‑up.

Labour inopposition, Screamed for a General Election every time a PM resigned. They need to fall on their swords now. Call a General Election.

@DPJHodges We all heard Starmer saying at PMQs there was no pressure while on Tuesday we all heard Robbins saying there was constant pressure from number ten (several times). He LIED and the privilege committee has no choice but to say he misled the HoC 👋👋 @downingstreet

@DPJHodges I'm told one of the best ways to dislodge a limpet is to whack it with a stick. Hopefully Sir Keir will be able to be removed by subtler means, eg a word in his ear pointing out that it's not everybody else whose out of step, but the guy staring back when he looks in the mirror.

@DPJHodges Cabinet member said to me today they think Tuesday will means it’s curtains

Comrades!!!! Hear this. When Phatt Keef falls on his Pork Sword. We should not accept a replacement. WE SHOULD DEMAND. A GENERAL ELECTION!! A people's vote. Put It To The Pepople. GE Now.

Little Stopped Mid-Sentence. She Cited National Security. The Question Is Why. There is a moment in Thursday's committee testimony that has received almost no attention. It lasted perhaps ten seconds. It may be the most important thing said in any parliamentary hearing since this affair began. Cat Little, the most senior civil servant in the Cabinet Office, was asked a direct question by Dame Emily Thornberry. Was there anything in the security vetting that was not in the due diligence report? Little began to answer. She got four words in. "I don't think I can, without revealing..." She stopped. She did not finish the sentence. Thornberry pressed her immediately. Was there something in the vetting that was different, more worrying, of more impact than the due diligence? Little paused. She said she wanted to get this right. She said she did not want to make things harder than they already were for the national security system. Then she retreated into carefully constructed language about the vetting potentially containing more information by the nature of the exercise. That exchange has been treated in most of the coverage as a non-answer. It was not a non-answer. It was a partial answer that stopped precisely at the point where disclosure would have become dangerous. Consider what is already in the public domain. The due diligence report flagged Mandelson's connections to Russian missile defence infrastructure, his Chinese state enterprise links, and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. All of that is documented, reported and on the parliamentary record. None of it required Little to stop herself mid-sentence. None of it required a reference to the national security system. Those concerns are already public. Whatever Little was protecting is something else. The specific language she used is the key. She did not say she could not discuss the vetting for reasons of process or confidentiality, the standard civil service deflection. She said she did not want to make things harder than they already were for the national security system. That is a specific and meaningful distinction. It describes information whose disclosure would cause active harm to national security, not merely information that is procedurally confidential. The Russia and China connections are already public. The Epstein dimension is already public. The UKSV recommendation to deny clearance is already public. Whatever stopped Cat Little mid-sentence in that committee room is none of those things. It is something beyond them. Something that has not surfaced. Something that a Cabinet Office permanent secretary judged, in real time, was too sensitive to discuss even in the controlled environment of a parliamentary hearing. Mandelson was granted Strap Three clearance. That is the highest level available to the Foreign Office. It gives access to intelligence that could endanger sources if leaked. He was granted that clearance after the security services had recommended against it. He was granted it by an official operating under what Robbins described as constant pressure from Downing Street. And he was granted it despite whatever it is that Cat Little would not say in open committee. The country has been told the vetting concerns related to Russia and China. Cat Little's unfinished sentence suggests that may not be the complete picture. The question of what was in that file, beyond what has been disclosed, is now the most important unanswered question in British politics. But nobody in the room pushed hard enough to find out why. "Mandelson was granted Strap Three clearance. That is the highest level available to the Foreign Office."

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer messaged Peter Mandelson the night before he announced him as US Ambassador “You’ll be brilliant in challenging circumstances. And after many years of our discussions, we get to work together side by side. I really look forward to that” [@ShippersUnbound]

No, it stands for English civilisation winning. You stand for putting treacherous lawyers who collaborate with criminals in charge of lawfare against the SAS. A future regime will jail your mate Hermer and RICO through your network RETWEET IF AGREE

If I were Keir Starmer, I’d quit now over the Mandelson scandal - before the May local elections, which will be a historically humiliating repudiation of his entire agenda.

Russia is ready to return territories and reach an agreement with Ukraine. And most importantly — all of this is reportedly being planned without Putin. According to sources close to Kremlin circles, a real process of power transition has begun in Russia. Security officials and part of the elite have reportedly concluded that Vladimir Putin has become toxic and dangerous for the system itself. He is said to no longer fully control the situation. In closed-door negotiations, a scenario is already being discussed in which Putin could be removed (voluntarily or by force), and a new leadership would make serious concessions to Ukraine. The only major condition they are reportedly setting for now is that Crimea would remain under Russian control (at least during the initial stage of negotiations). Its status is proposed to be discussed later, in a few years.

Retweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

As per tweet yesterday Labour have no idea what’s coming

WHY did our stupid prime minister feel the need to mark St Georges Day with a divisive Tweet about 'hatred and division'? How about just saying something positive? What is WRONG with this man?
