Everyone who is arguing Starmer should resign, is doing so to suit their own purposes, not because it’s the right thing to do, or because it’s best for the country. Cui bono.

Although Reformvand the Tories, and their media shills, and some in the Labour party want to use this as a tool to unseat him. None of them are acting on principle. It’s all political manoeuvres.

He took a calculated risk and it fid not pay off. He acted quickly when he needed to. Mandelsson is a known creep and a liar, cultivating links to the rich and powerful, arguably all useful characteristics for a diplomat given Trumps regime. Nothing to see here. Move on

Not sure I agree. Look at the regime he was appointed to liaise with. A bunch of corrupt oligarchs. His kind of people. I understand the logic of that decision. Risky. Perhaps unwise. But not a resignation matter.

It’s mildly disappointing to know that if all NL my emails from the last 20 years were released into the public domain there would be nothing scandalous there. Maybe I missed the self assessment deadline or forgot someone’s birthday!

The available money for public intellectuals is on the right. That’s why political entrepreneurs always shift to the right. Mind you Goodwin needed no incentive.

There’s not. There’s a fact of the matter. And overwhelming video evidence in support of that fact. Investigative journalist is not needed. Just the courage to say in print what the evidence clearly shows. The fact that the BBC cannot bring itself to do this shows the cravenness and

Surely the biggest story is that ICE murdered another innocent citizen. The second biggest story is that the entire government is brazenly lying about it. The ‘conflicting accounts’ approach fudges both stories by implying there are two sides.

It’s not surprsing considering that BBC misguidedly take ‘balance’ for objectivity. That means they have to report both opposing accounts even if one is obvious bs, and the other is well supported by evidence. Example climate scientist v climate denier!

Vance is part of the problem. Ostensibly a catholic. But untroubled by the deliberate murder of innocent ordinary US citizens apparently.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Or they just expect US citizens to defer to their power to deny the truth and make up the evidence. Thats all part of their m o.
