@Keenan2J @LBC @NickFerrariLBC The problem is how can you trust any of them when they endorsed him? It wasn't hidden that the guy is dodgy as hell. I mean two sackings should have been enough to be a red flag. Cleaning up the sleaze my ass.

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC Ferrari would prefer to see the country plunge into chaos than accept what's actually happened.
End of the day, Mandelson's appointment was widely endorsed, because Mandelson lied.

‘So you don’t know why he failed the vetting?’
‘…I haven’t seen the documents.’
@NickFerrariLBC grills Chief Secretary to the PM Darren Jones on the latest Peter Mandelson fiasco.

@japtejghura Man united vs Spurs last year was worth watching? Nope I didn't bother because I knew it would be a bore fest.
English
UCL teams no longer dropping down to the Europa League has killed it as a spectacle.
Freiburg, Villa, Forest and Braga are the four teams left.
It used to be Man Utd, Dortmund, Juve etc.
It’s not really worth watching anymore
English
@thatoneChipgoal @BratiTano @japtejghura Its better because it helps the smaller clubs build some revenue from getting deeper in the competition. If the big names dropped down those clubs wouldn't be where they are now.
English
@BratiTano @japtejghura Why do you think it’s better? Just curious for the take. Never been into Europa league but was attracted to the games because of the “big names” that would periodically drop down

@Hanley40 @ZoeJardiniere He didn't need to be told Mandleson is dodgy, Everyone in the country knows Mandleson is dodgy. The real story is how did he even get to the vetting process without someone pointing that fact out.
English
@ZoeJardiniere He wasnt told I do not like Starmer but he is not a liar unlike Johnson, farage etc. He was not told. Journalists screaming for his resignation are making me laugh
English
I am sorry but what the fuck do they MEAN the PM was unaware that the top diplomat in the country had failed the security vetting procedure?????
WHAT DO THEY TAKE US FOR??
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford
BREAKING The government has now confirmed that Mandelson failed security vetting. It claims that the PM and ministers were unaware - although the statement conspicuously does not deny that officials in No 10 were aware It says that the vetting documents will be published Huge questions for Starmer tonight over why he gave categoric assertions that he had been cleared by security and that due process had been followed “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.”

@dougbagleyfdl Nah your okay, I'd rather we didn't help Spurs out at all.
English
@emeatyard1 @tom_watson The problem I have is how did Mandelson even get to the security vetting without anyone asking why are we getting this dodgy guy in?
English
@tom_watson It a very fine line is t it between being a liar , and being wilfully blind , as a former Head of the CPS with a highly developed sense of forensic acumen , one would expect, it is difficult to see how he ‘missed’ the ‘fail’ verdict on Peter Mandelson’s Security vetting ?
English
@tom_watson I didn't know Mandelson is dodgy sorry! Yet the whole country knows Mandelson is dodgy.

@Eliza_MayAustin @TheGriftReport Problem being she was wearing her uniform & also did it in the work place. Any workplace would sack you for that.
English
@TheGriftReport Unprofessional & reckless yes, but really shes sending silly or spicy pics to her partner, shame to lose her decade long career over this though, surely that's too far?
English
Female cop sacked after sending topless “work boobies” selfies in uniform to her lover, claims she was only investigated because she reported a stalker.
PC Alisha Staves, 31, with 10 years in Humberside Police, took raunchy snaps: one in a station cupboard under her police fleece jacket (“Maybe Mrs Officer can give you a helping hand”) and another at home in her stab vest (“Work boobies”).
She reported being stalked by an ex, but the probe into that complaint uncovered the explicit messages on her phone.
Disciplinary panel ruled it a serious abuse of position and dismissed her with immediate effect.
Staves says the whole thing has left her devastated and warns it discourages female officers from reporting crimes against them.

@ToryWipeout Anyone with a brain knew Mandelson was dodgy as hell. I thought Starmer was going to clean up the sleaze? Only himself to blame.

@ExposedGreens What was burnt in the skip? Need more info on this before passing judgment.
English
🚨GREEN CANDIDATE: Mohammad Suleman.
Newcastle Greens Arthurs Hill candidate is a director of Fenham Properties Ltd.. convicted for environmental vandalism.
In Dec 2024 his firm burned waste in a skip at Grade II listed Pendower Hall to “cut costs”.
Council prosecuted: illegal waste disposal + operating without environmental permit.
Suleman admitted the offences. Company fined £8,500+ in June 2025.
Still their candidate for May 2026.
The Green Party … self-proclaimed champions of the environment … happily fielding a candidate whose company was guilty of illegal burning and pollution.
Peak hypocrisy from the environmentalists.

@RobbieScowlz @peterkyle I’m no fan of Labour, but cutting energy costs for businesses can slash inflation and help them manufacture more goods for the public at cheaper prices.

This isn’t just warm words.
This is real action.

The truth? The internet’s a digital Wild West for kids. This platform’s a perfect example.
As a dad, I worry about my children growing up using social media.
Keir Starmer? Spot on, fighting for British families. ✅
Right wing grifters? Too terrified to challenge tech bros. ❌
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
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.
English
@Alisheikh870 @Keir_Starmer Be a better parent, Use the child controls. My sister does this absolutely fine, Shame there's so many feckless parents around that just chuck their kids in front of a screen & walk off.
English
@Keir_Starmer Strong words but parents need more than statements. Clear timelines, real enforcement, and transparency on results matter. What concrete actions will be taken, and when will we see measurable change?

@JasonUnsworth00 @Keir_Starmer If they are addicted to that paedo game, then you should start being a better parent & take it away completely.

Very good Prime Minister, my daughters are 10 and 8 years and already are developing an addiction to to iPad and iPhone, including Roblox, not social media yet but games, I am trying to limit their screen time as it’s impacting their behaviour and ability to get to school 🏫 please keep up the good work on this subject!

@CurtisDaly_ So the policy is instead to force Man City to slash top pay and effectively end UK football at above about league 2 level?

That's not what the policy is

@beatami_ @CurtisDaly_ The difference being the player brings in more sponsors/marketing, you can’t exactly do that with a stadium worker.
English
@CurtisDaly_ like is this not a moment to relect on why footballers are being payed literally half a million per week while stadium workers are on minimum wage when both of those roles are vital for the industry to function

@justaphag6 @kferrDC They've probably paid more in tax than you ever will in your life time.
English
@kferrDC ok but why are we crying about people leaving the country with their wealth when they don’t pay taxes anyway? they don’t contribute as it is so like there’s not really much loss

rich people are losing their MIND at the concept of the 10:1 pay ratio 🤣🤣🤣 absolutely terrified that they’re gunna have to pay their employees well if they want to be paid well 🤣

🚨 NEW: Green leader Zack Polanski will call for policies to end the "affordability crisis" tomorrow - The introduction of a 10:1 pay ratio, whereby the highest-paid employee earns no more than ten times the lowest-paid - Free school meals for all primary and secondary pupils - Universal energy bill support for households and stronger rent controls - A customs union with the EU to cut business costs

@Chucky_Munro @Keir_Starmer Worse than that here now, You have to fill out a form online & hope they get back to you at some point during the day, If you are at work & can't have your phone with you? Tough luck.

@Keir_Starmer Well then they've been missing the make my entire fucking life
To even get to have a conversation with a GP you have to structure your entire day around that 8am phone call to try and get there before everyone else

@MbwLdurham @SaulStaniforth @Kevin_Maguire Nothing to do with their colour & everything to do with them being complicit in the crime for failing to do anything about him when they knew full well what he was about.

@SaulStaniforth @Kevin_Maguire He is spot on, absolutely vile that becuase of your colour you will be deported if your child commutes a crime, disgusting
