A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

He installed an incompetent and flaccid exec, made a series of dumb and venal decisions & sucked up to Trump to make yet another filthy dollar. He’s so poor, all he has is money and, let’s stop pretending, bad facial surgery that makes him look like he is in some bad remake of The Santa Clause.

The biggest reason to appoint him was his existing relationships with Trump and his associates, partly through having been in JE's circle of business chums.
So the question totally misdirected just to claim damage.

Kemi Badenoch is trying to argue the appointment of Mandelson as US ambassador harmed international relations between the US and UK, in the light of his Epstein connections.
Which…given the US President was Epstein's "best friend" for a decade or more, feels like a swing and a miss.

Labour's mistake has been using consequences-based #ethics (realpolitik), instead of principles-based.
McSweeney must go too - most likely he who lobbied for Mandy to DC.
Right now they're feeding the Tory 'just as bad as we were' narrative.
Time to use principles more, like on energy transition

This has led to Alex Jones and others baselessly claiming that the fake images indicate Mamdani might be related to Epstein.
