One of the most consistent principles in his life is to become unbelievably partisan in every conflict he encounters, and then to win the conflict using a barrage of extreme verbal force.

Eh, but also, come on, even amidst shysters, Mandelson is pretty uniquely bad!
The issue isn't Mandelson, it's the system he represents. Happy for him to be defenestrated, love to see that, but that's not job done.

An actual friend pointed this out last night as I was trying to charm our way into a restaurant and started wheedling my way into their good books to get a table.

Continuing a theme of "white boy spends too much time in the middle east" I now address almost everyone as "my friend."

Yeah, again very loudly saying our politicians are often outraged by being criticised for behaviour that in the private sector would get you, at best, blacklisted and at worst jailed.

Having largely ignored it last year but seen it on a lot of best of 2025 lists, god Raye's WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! Is just spectacular.
Properly propulsive, funny and full of energy, a real tour de force of sarcastic talent. The mash-up of RnB and jazz horns screams Bruno Mars at his best, I love it.

To borrow an @dsquareddigest.bsky.social joke, there are a lot of unanswered questions like "Where's the money?" And "no seriously, where is the fucking money?"

"The richest man in the world has created a machine to produce CSAM and our solution is to restrict access to it to 17 year olds and above." Is just not a serious policy response!
This has been sped up because of X's abhorrentness, but there's a reluctance to confront those issues head on.
We're instead approaching a bleak political consensus of "the internet is bad, corrosive and illegality is mainstream but we can't do anything about that other than banning u16s"

After he's exposed as a paedophile, despite his actual finance career seemingly being fairly unremarkable *he mostly manages already rich people's money* he maintains this strangehold on the finance and political elite. I just feel like I'm going mad just reading these barely literate emails.

Every detail of this man's life raises further questions, he's plucked from teaching to a career in finance, ends up doing a bonkers fraud recovery role with a fake passport, runs a massive Ponzi scheme with no consequences, gets a sweetheart plea deal and suddenly he's just this "fixer." COME ON!

It's hard not to feel like a conspiracy theorist as we find out so many very senior people at our biggest companies do seem to have just accepted that genuflecting to a paedophile was just a part of the process?

Like, I don't think it's likely that Mandelson will see any real punishment for this, but leaking sensitive tax information to those who could benefit from it, whilst they're funding your husbands lifestyle to the tune of 10s of thousands, does feel like selling market sensitive information.

To go one step further, what Mandelson did is effectively what the Big 4 did in Australia and that culminated in the resignation of all the leadership team, 10 partners getting canned, a sell off of parts of PwC Australia and massive increases in fines. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PwC_tax...
