It should not require an act as morally repulsive & treacherous as leaking govt intel to an overseas pedophile sex trafficker who may also be a Russian spy to permanently end a political career.
Permanently banish anyone who deliberately or recklessly engages in ethical wrongdoing from public life.

Politicians should not be treated like toddlers. A time out on the naughty step before being welcomed back is not an effective deterrent for adults who've deliberately or recklessly engaged in ethical wrongdoing. It's an encouragement for more violations - as demonstrated by Mandelson's career.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy.
Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

More evidence of serious failures within the immigration detention system, as the High Court rules that there has been an unlawful failure of the Home Office’s system designed to protect vulnerable people from inhuman and degrading treatment in detention.
