Well you know what they say about relaunches, thirteenth time's the charm
McSweeney resigning might buy Starmer a brief reprieve. He'll now attempt to relaunch his leadership.
But Starmer's also now looks weaker. McSweeney taking "responsibility" for what was ultimately Starmer's decision just isn't credible. His departure also makes No.10 look even more directionless.

Also - people without kids effectively do pay more tax already. Unless schools, nursery provision, parks, baby boxes and family allowance payments are only funded by parents somehow …
So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony.

Never forget that Gordon Brown brought Peter Mandelson back in to government after the Robinson and Hinduja scandals that had led to two previous resignations from governmental positions. His political judgment and judgment of characters is also open to question.

It would be bad enough to appoint Mandelson despite what they knew about him.
I think it's worse. I think they did it because of what they knew.
They wanted an Ambassador who would be comfortable in the moral gutter, because that's where Trump and his regime operate.

Anas Sarwar says today of Peter Mandelson: “I'm utterly disgusted and furious about the entire situation … He never should have been the ambassador to the US.”
For context, here’s Sarwar in April 2025 love-bombing his ‘old friend’.
They think we are stupid.
He is an amoral opportunistic chancer.
