@BurnsideWasTosh Easy. He knows nothing. He’s never read anything. And has no fixed beliefs.

How the hell did Starmer get through Developed Vetting?
Calum Miller@CalumMillerLD
They call up nominated referees and ask them all about you. Finally, they interview you, at length, and spare no blushes. Drugs, infidelity, gambling, financial distress, association with extremism, sexual fetishes: they want to know if you are a security risk.

@David__Osland Replace half the low-level work by AI. And outsource the rest to a service company. Easy.

Under the Greens' 10:1 pay ratio policy, bosses could still pay themselves £1m a year by putting everyone else on £100k. Sounds fair enough to me.
English
@SandyofSuffolk True. Successor likely to be worse. But whoever replaces him will get a moderate recovery in opinion polls. Just for not being Starmer. Will last for 9-12 months. Need to get that out the way over the next year.
English
When Starmer goes, unless there's a general election, remember this:
There's nobody any better in Labour to replace him.

Does absolutely everything in the Universe have to suck? They couldn't even leave us the World Bloomin' Cup Final!?

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: For the first time in history, The World Cup Final will have a halftime show. It will be organized by Chris Martin & Coldplay and could take up to 25 minutes.

@AaronWin33 @TouchlineX What? The half time show was invented to distract from the misery of watching American sports. Proper sports don’t need it.

@TouchlineX This proves once and for all that football 🏈 > soccer ⚽

@digitalsunshine @robinthemint Starmer lied to Parliament. Blame Trump. 🤡
English
Fuck me, I'm so bored of hearing about this Peter Mandelson fiasco
We ALL know why normal vetting procedures weren't followed, but no-one seems willing to say it
Two words: Donald Trump
A harsh lesson learned, not to pander to criminals

@amittalwalkar How to intimidate the opposition into defeat before the toss.

Hong Kong — 1977. A busy street. But where was the vote?
For 155 years, governors were appointed by the Queen rather than elected by the people.
They sold you a dream called DEMOCRACY. The truth was a DICTATORSHIP with a British accent.
We remember. 🦋

@robinthemint @laird01554927 He stated that due process had been followed. It wasn’t.
English
@JGillRay @laird01554927 No evidence of lies by Starmer. You may want there to be but there isn’t.
English
Anyone else totally bored with everything Mandelson, apart from the Westminster bubble, and the right wing media who love this, with so much going on in the World let it drop. Starmer has done well with World events and let his finish that. #bbcbreakfast #skynews #GMB

@michburt_burt @Johnsuarez89 @flyinglawyer73 @Steven_Swinford Everyone knows Mandelson was dodgy. Starmer should have been extra careful. If he genuinely didn’t check the situation with the vetting that’s gross negligence.
English
@Johnsuarez89 @flyinglawyer73 @Steven_Swinford Boris attended parties during Covid though. We don’t know that Starmer was informed.

Sir Keir Starmer will not resign over the Mandelson vetting scandal
Asked by Sky News if he will consider his position Darren Jones, chief secretary to the PM, told Sky News: “No. And I think if you look at what’s going on in the world, not least in relation to the conflicts in the Middle East and what that’s doing for people’s living standards, energy bills, food prices…
“You need a credible, reliable, strong Prime Minister to be able to take the country through those difficult challenges.”
English
@flyinglawyer73 @Steven_Swinford It was widely known that Mandelson was dodgy. Before appointing him to the most sensitive diplomatic role Starmer should have been extra careful. He told the House due process had been followed. Either he knowingly lied or was unacceptably careless. Either way must resign.
English
@Steven_Swinford Unless there is evidence that Starmer deliberately misled Parliament then this is not a resignation matter. Get serious ffs.
English
@laird01554927 Mandelson got what was coming to him,karma possibly. Using Mandelson as a stick to beat down our PM is one of the most unfair political moves I have ever seen, the fake outrage,the hysterical pearl clutching,from opposition MPs and commentators is over nothing,they are the liars
English
@NiqStencil @laird01554927 Do you remember 2-3 years ago? Who kept calling for the resignation of PMs?
English
@laird01554927 Yes, really fed up with all these attempts to polarise our politics. Every little thing branded as a resigning matter, or traitorous, or whatever. It’s getting boring.
And no one calling for his resignation can suggest a “better” MP that they would like to see replace him.
English
@RyanMullarkey1 @FUDdaily Nope. Those banking executives are paying millions in tax. The problem is govt waste - both benefits for the undeserving and inefficient/idle civil servants.
English
@FUDdaily Maybe a bit but primarily you are paying for banking executives to have private jets and yachts..the Greens have that one right
English
Even as a middle income software developer, I never dreamed of owning a new car. I have to save for years to buy a seven year old Vauxhall. People who work hard don't get to have nice things because you're paying for chav scum to have foreign holidays and new cars.
