We don't need all this 'stuff'. It can never compensate for the joys of nature or a beer with a friend. Try to keep it simple, and contentment follows 😁

What is effective about this Burnham statement is it reads like something that he is personally invested in and is not worried about criticism for. More of this please.

What sits behind ALL this is the inescapable fact that a huge chunk of the lobby has been out to get this gov't from Day 1, not because of anything it did (this is no defence of a gov't that is doing lots wrong and deserves criticism), but because ONLY THEIR CHAPS have a right to be in office. Ever.

Entertaining as this spat is, it contains not-a-flicker of recognition as to WHY this might be happening.
For 16 months, a tax-exile-oligarch-owned, mostly right-wing press, has abused the privilege of these exclusive private sessions, to misrepresent the gov't on every issue. This is the FO stage.

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.
How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit
Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

It’s the “P-do Bowl” featuring the men who are in the Epstein files the most.

Some really interesting reminders here, regarding the political and media response AT THE TIME of Mandelson's appointment.

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. 🧵

The more I watch this from Hannah Spencer, two things happen:
1. The more I like it and her.
2. The more it makes me want to get out and do what she says by volunteering.
... I'm surprisingly moved by 2, as I can physically feel it breaking through the armour of scepticism I've built around myself.

Goldman: They’re still covering up, because only half of the documents have been released.
I don’t understand why they get to decide—without explanation—why half of the material should be held back. Trump’s name is all over it. So now we know why there was such a cover-up…

Goodwin literally had a hissy fit when Alan Rusbridger & David Aaronovitch went for dinner after an event they all did together & chose not to ask him. He’s palpably desperate to go to fictional dinner parties that exist only in his warped imagination. Instead he gets to suck lemons with 30p Lee.
You dont win 'em all! Reform's Matt Goodwin in Sunday Times: 'Most .. people criticising me are nerds.The last thing I want is to be at some dinner party table with Nick Robinson & Mary Beard. I'd rather shoot myself in the head'. Hang on, I'm not THAT bad!Nerds sometimes have a (thoughtful!) point.
