Agreed. Maybe Mandelson can be the trigger for a broader review of the membership? Chuck out a whole swathe of these bastards. Jail some of them too!
And yet, in the House of Lords, we still have Lebedev - a national security risk if ever there was one; Mone - who defrauded all of us of tens of millions - and countless other unsavoury characters elevated by Johnson, Cameron and all the rest of their corrupt ilk.
The government has:
1. Referred Mandelson to the police for investigation over leaking sensitive information while in government
2. Decided it *will* try to strip Mandelson of his peerage after all.
That’s both throwing him under the bus and then reversing to make sure in one fell swoop.

We in the United States had something like this, but we stopped construction on it in 1993. Claiming too much money for too little benefit. Wonder if the same heating system could have been spun off there and if the folks in North Texas could have benefited. www.ebsco.com/research-sta...

We are Christopher Isherwood, listening on the wireless to warnings that Berliners will die unless they stop the rhetoric about the secret police.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Whenever I see a discussion about access to the Cerne Abbas Giant I remember the shaman I once met whose best friend had recently climbed over the fence and slept on the giant's hard-on. "She said it was the most erotic night of her life," the shaman told me. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The killings in Minneapolis didn’t come out of nowhere.
Funding, legal cover, weakened oversight, and dehumanising rhetoric ramping up over a year. This started on 20 Jan 2025 with Trump's executive orders on immigration.
I lay it out in my latest post.

Something for my American friends to ponder. Especially anyone left leaning, but pro-gun/police. It boggles my mind that the narrative over there appears to be morphing into: if you fail to immediately and flawlessly comply with an officer of the law, then your life is forfeit. Insane country.
1,173 people were shot dead by "law enforcement" in the USA last year.
In the UK, it was 2.
The US population is 6x that of the UK, so go ahead and multiply the second figure by 6.
Then explain to me why this massively disproportionate rate of killing is so.

I saw a screening of 28DL with a live orchestral accompaniment recently. That was fun! The film composer (John Murphy I think) and his daughter came out to play electric guitar in a reprise of the soundtrack parts after the film finished. That was fun!

Agreed! Hannah is absolutely a weak point, but Brendan Gleeson’s death scene is so poignant. Also, the ‘In the house, in a heartbeat’ climax is such a thing of savage beauty. 28WL starts well, but loses it. 28YL was a bit uneven, but I really liked Bone Temple. Charity scene made me queasy though.

JD Vance: "I'm headed to Minneapolis where we're gonna talk with ICE agents and local officials about how we turn down the chaos. My simple piece of advice to them is going to be if you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement."

I wonder to what extent he and other European leaders have briefings and analysis of Trump’s declining health, imminent incapacity, and life expectancy? How much longer can the US regime continue with him (at least nominally) in charge? And what is the plan for the Vance/Miller transition?
