The issue as itâs come up this time is that Mandelson never passed vetting, starmer wasnât told this (or maintains he wasnât), the head of the foreign office who didnât tell him has resigned because of this. I mean, the buck canât stop with you on something youâve not been informed of/were deliberately misled on, right?
This is separate to whether it was a bad decision to appoint Mandelson who h obviously it was.
Whatever you say about the members of the HOC at least they have the look of parliamentarians about them, each and every one of them.
When you compare the sartorial efforts of our elected representatives we donât really measure up flat fucking caps and allâŚ.
Gilets, porter-stained shirts hanging out, tieless muldoons, caps and a large number of over-fed bog warriors make us look like a colony of escapees.
Starmer is talking through his hole here and theyâre having trouble nailing him.
Starmer is like MicheĂĄl Martin. If you think heâs bad, wait until you see whatâs below him and wants to take over, and I donât mean Andy Burnham.
