Ed Balls "People say McSweeney was the man who transformed Labs prospects from disaster to victory"

This needs a LOT of amplification.
Lots of things are beginning to make sense now. Given Mandelson’s role in the People’s Vote, and his proximity to Epstein and his MAGA/Russian ties, no wonder they dismissed @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on Cambridge Analytica/Vote Leave and our joint investigation into Russian interference

The accepted wisdom seems to be that it was McSweeney who got Mandelson in. I wonder if it was, ultimately, Blair. Who, perhaps not unrelatedly, seems these days to spend much of his time shilling for US tech firms.

I'm guessing that the "Jes" in this message is that other moral paragon, Jes Staley, though I can't be sure. A Labour government minister, channelling the demands of his finance-bro chums.
This, my friends, is how it happens. This is why we don't get what we want, or what we vote for.

Here's the context:
When Mandelson was Business Minister, Epstein wrote asking him to make only the cash portion (ie not equity etc) of bankers’ bonuses taxable.
Mandelson's answer: “Trying hard to amend as I explained to Jes last night. Treasury digging in but I am on case.”

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Once upon a time there lived a funny little man called Trumpy Wumpy.
He had straw hair, orange skin & smelled horrible.
But he could do magic!
He grew back his ear once & he had a strange power called Redaction which made things he didn’t like disappear.
He was jolly nasty…

Jill in the village shop says she’s thinking of defecating to Reform.
She has started baking Clacton Baps, told us London has fallen & keeps asking for the migration status of every customer.
She says Dubai is where she longs to be as she is a committed Christian.

As Hillsborough is trending, it's important to remind people that Reform UK's Deputy Chair is Paul Nuttall.

Paul Nuttall once lied about having lost close friends in the tragedy.

I think there's merit to holding by-elections when an elected MP changes parties. It's a party's platform they campaigned on. The whip system ensures they vote accordingly. When they join another party, that's another platform, another set of policies. Voters should get a new say.
