If Mandelson gave advice on cabinet appointments & selection of the new MP intake, then whatever happens next the attack line against them will be "Mandelson's Cabinet", "Mandelson's Intake" etc. Disastrous.

C'mon. Who's going to be the first journo to say 'febrile'.
I'd echo this. The mood in the last couple of hours has got *extremely* dark.
I have never seen anger like this on the Labour benches in private and in public. This is the kind of territory where things can move very fast.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Crazy how last year, when Newcastle won the Carabao Cup, it was tinpot and our celebrations were mocked.
Yet today it suddenly matters again. I’ve just seen the BBC went with the headline “Years in the making” after Arsenal’s win and celebrations.
Funny how the narratives changes. 🤦🏼♂️

F Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote, in The Last Tycoon, that there are no second acts in American Lives. If ever anyone proved that wrong, Patricia Hearst did – and, indeed, continues to. Obviously, you know the most prominent bit of her story, which began on this day in 1974... 🧵
