@kevinhollinrake Not knowing about Peter Mandelson makes it worse. It's their job to know. Shows how clueless they are, and what else is going on they apparently don't know about?

A government spokesperson said: “The security vetting process for Peter Mandelson was sponsored by the FCDO. The decision to grant Developed Vetting to Peter Mandelson against the recommendation of UK Security Vetting was taken by officials in the FCDO. “Neither the Prime Minister, nor any Government Minister, was aware that Peter Mandelson was granted Developed Vetting against the advice of UK Security Vetting until earlier this week. “Once the Prime Minister was informed he immediately instructed officials to establish the facts about why the Developed Vetting was granted, in order to enact plans to update the House of Commons. “The Government is committed to complying with the Humble Address in full as soon as possible. Any documentation within the scope of the Humble Address that requires redaction on the basis of national security or international relations will be provided to the ISC. This will include documents provided to the FCDO by UK Security Vetting.” Background: The security vetting information from UK Security Vetting was obtained by officials undertaking the process in order to comply fully with the Humble Address. Once they received this information, the officials that obtained the information, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Secretary agreed that there should be an exercise to establish the facts and that the information should be made public. The FCDO is a “make recommendation customer” for UK Security Vetting. This means that the FCDO is the ultimate decision making authority on Developed Vetting cases, based on a non-binding recommendation from UK Security Vetting.

Keir Starmer told the country Peter Mandelson had “clearance for the role.” He didn’t mention that clearance had been granted against the advice of our own security officials. Either he knew and misled the public or he vouched for a process he didn’t understand. Neither is acceptable in a Prime Minister. Govt statement below 🧵

@PolitlcsUK More lies, but Nobady is surprised

🚨 BREAKING: No 10 says Keir Starmer was not aware that Peter Mandelson failed security vetting "The security vetting process for Peter Mandelson was sponsored by the FCDO.

@martynschmoll Happy to help those in need. 👍

@Mr_Gibblets Brilliant. Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Every day on this site some clown asserts that seniors and people with disabilities can’t ride bikes.

@TheMekon_Venus Not as gruesome as the source material but a great homage to 50s science fiction movies. Great board game too and the video game looks fun.

Can we agree Mars Attacks was a bad movie.. … with a brilliant cast. But the aliens were bad ass?

@exQUIZitely Sadly the pc version still has the handyman bug which just ruins the game. Rollercoaster Tycoon was superior.

One of the most successful games of the 90s if you go by official sales numbers: Over 15 (!) million copies sold made Theme Park a total homerun for Bullfrog in 1994. The puke sounds from kids throwing up after rollercoaster rides were legendary. Adding extra salt to the fries to increase soda consumption – one of the many little twists that made Theme Park a far more complex economy simulation than it appeared on the surface. Underpay workers? They would eventually go on strike. Sabotage your competitors? All possible. Just like Sim City, creating your own little world was simply wonderful. What a game!

@oldyzach The hardest part of the game. Unless you're the necromancer then it's super easy as he just kills himself.

If you open a passage like that, there’s a 99% chance you’ll die in a moment.

@ejgallagherx Intentionally done for control.

Can someone explain this to me how the fuck can we run out of this stuff when we literally produce this food ourselves. We have livestock & arable farms all over the UK, this is pathetic if this actually happens. All the shops need to do is buy directly from our own farmers.

@PolitlcsUK "up yours dementia sufferers, get to work so we can give MPs a bigger pay rise and buy more bombs to blow shit up"

🚨 NEW: Wes Streeting has suggested he supports cutting welfare to fund defence “It’s got to come from somewhere”

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives Stop trying to control, censor, dictate every single thing in our purgatory existence. Parents need to parent, we are not slaves. Plus the simplest solution is ban smartphones for kids.. stop making things more complicated. Oh yeah, whatever it takes to force digital ID. Innit.

Starmer is not doing whatever it takes…in fact last night he told his MPs to vote against a law that would stop children having access to social media. The @Conservatives are the only party taking this issue seriously.

@clairebubblepop It's a combination of all those things, but paying them more won't make them work harder or faster. They need less money, more people.

Right so now the NHS is failing because of migrants apparently. Do fuck off. It’s because it’s underfunded, understaffed and they’re underpaid. The govt would rather pay agencies for work because they back business and obviously their own coffers. Fucking stop lobbying!

@RachelReevesMP That's why you love the war, it's a distraction, an excuse to fail. 🤦

These growth figures show the Government has the right plan to build a stronger more resilient economy. But the war in Iran will come at a cost. That is why we are taking the right, fair and necessary action to protect families and businesses.

@Keir_Starmer @UKLabour Then the parents need to parent. This is you just wanting to control your slaves more than you do now. If you want to protect children how about banning soccer ball so it doesn't turn them into gambling, racists, alcoholics, domestic abusers as football is the entry point.

I know parents are worried about social media and its impact on their children’s safety. They rightly expect fast action. Today, I’m calling on senior leaders from X, Meta, Snap, YouTube and TikTok to step up. I will do whatever it takes to keep children safe online.

@FOG1O1 @Lord_Sugar Scrolling was it's weak point, but when developers used the machine properly is was a winner ( head over heels, chase HQ for example, best versions). I had a C64 so scrolling was not an issue. It just hated isometric lol.

@Mr_Gibblets @Lord_Sugar You ended up with ports because it was cheaper..same with MSx . Scrolling on the cpc was a pain..hence why games like enduro racer wasn't so fast

42 YEARS AGO! On 11 Apr 1984 I launched the Amstrad CPC464 - the first affordable all-in-one home computer. On other computers you had to use your home TV as a monitor and also plug in a cassette player. The CPC464 had it all. Read all about it here 👉youtube.com/watch?v=NbMDN_…

Mirka Dexos or the round bulky thing?? I like the dexos as it's a bit smaller and appears to be easier to transport but too many smart features is a bit off putting (more things to go wrong). Not sure which one to get. @DecoratorsU any advice?

@NoContextBrits Just shove it in

There is no dignified way to eat one of these.

@BBCNews Yes. Cut the silly high wages, stop wasting it on soccer ball, find radio presenters who aren't obsessed with shout outs and voice notes.

BBC to cut almost one in 10 staff to make £500m savings bbc.in/4cr8URr

@Heccles94 Problem many of us can't afford to have kids so we don't. Also what are theses parents spending their child benefit on?? Not breakfast it seems. 🤷

Why is it that the racist ‘look after our own’ crowd are also the ones attacking free school meals for kids and benefits for those with disabilities?

@Inevitablewest No more Vernon on the radio hopefully, fed up with none stop shout outs and voice notes every 30 seconds.

🚨BREAKING: The BBC has been forced to let go of more than 2,000 employees (10% of total workforce) as they face SIGNIFICANT financial constraints This comes after millions of Brits boycotted the far-left propaganda machine. The collapse of the BBC is imminent! 🇬🇧

@KemiBadenoch @claudelittner Wrong. The money is funding their jollys, just like the conservatives did for 14 years.

This is a moment of profound importance for our national security. So why won’t Keir Starmer fund our military? Because he is too busy spending your money on benefits.
