It's like Mandelson and Starmer watched and learned from the Tory VIP Lane:
💷 Privileged access ✅
💷 Personal benefit ✅
💷 No competition ✅
Mandelson benefitted financially through his stake in Global Counsel.

That £240m contract Palantir won after Peter Mandelson took Keir Starmer to visit them? Government asserts "there were robust processes in place to ensure that government contracts are awarded fairly and transparently" but the award notice says it was a "directed award", ie without any competition.

Is it too early to say that the UK Prime Minister (like most of his predecessors of the last half century) is corrupt?
New on FT website:
Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February — ahead of it winning a £240mn UK government contract.

Not an original thought from this anarchist, but bears repeating that all this happened because the UK media couldn't abide the idea of a Labour Party that was about a fairer society and an attack on privilege.

If you're a victim of repeated flooding, you need to start looking at land use upstream.
One of these sponges up vast amounts of water, releasing it slowly, the other does not. One reduces flooding, the other *increases* it.
Without addressing this core driver, it'll just keep on getting worse.

Labour MPs & party insiders tell me they’ve never seen Keir Starmer so angry as over Mandelson’s lies about Epstein links.
But those who know him well say that anger has now turned inwards. That Starmer is, above all else, a man of public service, and will be grappling with his conscious this w/e.
