Peter Mandelson should not be an unelected parliamentarian for life. And neither should any of the other 800+ peers eligible to sit in the House of Lords. It should be abolished & replaced with a (small) elected second chamber.
Another broken promise from Starmer.

Elon Musk is claiming he’s risked everything to protect kids from sexual abuse mere weeks out from laughing while his AI chatbot was generating nearly 8,000 sexual abuse images per hour that overwhelmingly targeted girls and young women

Labour have sunk in the polls & no longer have enough support to beat Reform in the Gorton & Denton by-election or across the country. The Greens support continues rising, with people switching from Labour especially. Voting Labour in Gorton & Denton will let Reform in.

All JK Rowling's talk about protecting women and children is such bs. It was always about hating trans people. She invited him to the Harry Potter Broadway opening in 2018. This was way after Epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from a minor.
JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner.

I believe there is no time limit for prosecution for misconduct in public office. This happened in london. What are you going to do about it @metpolice.bsky.social ?
New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor.
Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.
A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution
2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party

Most of Epstein’s victims were either too frightened to come forward, or silenced through legal threats. Oh, and here’s a senior British politician giving Epstein tips on how to silence them

At this point the focus on Andrew Windsor by the UK media can only be read as a distraction from the FT's scoop about Mandelson and the very serious corruption allegations.
This ought to have been the main UK news story from the DoJ’s latest Jeffrey Epstein data dump.
Peter Mandelson told Epstein he was “trying hard” to change government policy on bankers’ bonuses at his request, months after Epstein paid thousands of pounds to the then Business Secretary’s husband.

Moments after he admits Lord Mandelson kept things from the govt prior to being appointed ambassador the US, Steve Reed is asked if Mandelson should be allowed to keep his peerage.

Perhaps Steve could draft one of his little dossiers about Peter’s behaviour and pass it to the Times newspaper to publish? He seems to have profited endlessly and personally by repeatedly doing that.

If we want to end child sexual exploitation the we have to get rid of billionaires. This means if you do not support taxing and expropriating billionaires out of existence you effectively support child sexual exploitation continuing.
The entire financial and social system we operate under makes us complicit in child sex trafficking. It is vitally important for the soul of humanity that all billionaires - especially those directly involved - are punished severely, and their names tarnished and spat upon for the rest of history.
