Weird listening to Nick Robinson interrogating Zarah Sultana on Political Thinking given his tag line: “not for a news-y interrogation, but for an extended and relaxed conversation”. When he chats to conservatives, that’s very much what it is. I’m glad he is grilling her but where’s the consistency?

Mandelson was architect of 2nd State visit for Trump. That visit should not happen. It is sickening to confer special UK honour on Mandelson's fellow Epstein acolyte who is a dangerous autocrat, banning books, militarising police & destroying democratic freedoms.
