Public wont be that bothered about mandelson saga.
Bad though it is - bad judgement is not a resigning matter. He didn’t break any laws unlike Johnson.
I strongly believe in a democracy it should be left to the electorate to make their judgement on Starmer.

@paulabarkermp.bsky.social Paula, just listened to you on BBC r4. We are ALL angry with revelations, but, maybe public comments need dialling down? A feeding frenzy is now taking place. It's ugly. A change in PM or Government now would let Reform march right in to number 10. Disastrous.

Time to admit the truth: Brexit has been an unmitigated economic failure, says The Telegraph.
Brexit Effect:
UK GDP down 8%
Investment down 18%
Productivity down 4%
Employment down 4%
Immigration not cut
No trade benefits
No regulatory freedom
Why do some still vote for Farage?

Is this really an appropriate way for the anchor news person to dress for main @bbcnews lunchtime news bulletin? Call me old-fashioned, but if there were to be an urgent breaking news item that was horrific, surely the look is wrong? Male newscasters are required to wear ties for such events.

21 out of 33 Conservative shadow ministers in the Lords have paid jobs outside Parliament.
Shadow ministers paid to ‘advise’ the same industries they’re meant to scrutinise. Conflict of interest institutionalized. Paymasters served.
Can't get good society without ending political bribery.
