Getting really tired of "this is all a media concoction"...
Starmer has the lowest approval rating of any PM in history bar Truss. Senior ministers are openly and unsubtly positioning. His Chief of Staff, Director of Comms and Cab Sec have all resigned on the same day.
I mean come on...

If we are to believe from yesterday that Starmer has emerged stronger to me the question is why there have been two resignations with a third in the offing if has only been turmoil created by the press/media.
Starmer’s multiple pledges, blunders & u-turns render him unsuited as PM but there is no

So Starmer struggles on this Friday.
His Teflon schtick is wearing thin with constant ‘fine words’ on matters he has long lost any credibility OR scope to ameliorate.
I’ve lost count of the number of failed pledges, u-turns or broken commitments and the catalogue of blunders 19 months on is…

Trouble with Starmer is that he confuses politics with jurisprudence. The latter IS process-driven, whilst politics should require a sense of the immediate and an ability to read the room.
Starmer lacks both of these attributes.

Sir Keir Starmer was a politician of process rather than conviction. Following the erratic Boris Johnson, this had some appeal. The Peter Mandelson saga reveals that process comes a distant second to political convenience econ.st/3NWvOrg

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit.
Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

McSweeney seems as talented as a supermarket trolley with errant wheels.
An investigation into the appointment of #Mandelson as Ambassador should be held.
If #McSweeney recommended him, then he too must resign.
We cannot risk further treason in No. 10, by anyone's connection to Mandelson.
#Starmer is compromised. His silence is not just procrastination

It’s so tawdry, grubby and shameful. I can’t stand the sleaze, greed, corruption. Trump, Epstein, Russia, Bannon, Palantir, Israel, Mandelson, Brexit, discredited royals, aging male hacks, hasbeens, wannabes. Old white men abusing young women, exploiting their status, corrupting our entire system. 🧵
The Peter Mandelson scandal on the front pages of UK papers. For decades Mandelson has briefed, lobbied & spun his views to senior journalists undermining colleagues in his own party & advocating for corporate interests (who were paying him). Finally the dam has burst.

Alistair Darling and the official Treasury were always aware that investment banks had an inside track to Number 10. But the brazen nature of that inside track is rather breath-taking.
Who leaked this Number 10 discussion to Jeffrey Epstein? And are there consequences for the leaker?
It’s an internal discussion re. getting markets moving in the aftermath of the financial crisis. No doubt of great interest to Epstein and his financial market clients.

The shooting of Alex Pretti was (US) state sanctioned murder and has been followed up by attempts to destroy evidence and stop local police (and even the FBI) from investigating.

The initial letter of support from the US on the founding of the WHO pointed out that infectious diseases know no borders. I wonder what has changed.
The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.
This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.
