Less than 3% of world economy. They seem to punch well above their weight.

He is travelling so fast that, unless you happened to be on the bus , no one will hear what he has to say in any detail. Maybe that's the point as long as he keeps moving he doesn't really need to explain himself

He will probably lunch with Dominic now he has time on his hands. They can bond whilst discussing why their genius was never truly recognised whilst ignoring the elephant sat in the corner

Always looking for a Svengali and always managing blunders by said Svengali. Starmer would be much better off talking to Larry the cat

Yes very true. We can't be sure the information was available regarding the emails but it should have been and very true that his history alone should have been a red flag. I would love to know who was lobbying for the appointment in Starmer's circle .

Yes in 2008 whilst in a very different role . It is being investigated and I hope he is punished for it to the full extent of the law. Had that information been available at the time of his appointment as ambassador I am sure things would be very different

That makes perfect sense. I have to wonder if there has really been any professional incompetence . It is just that his private life has become incompatible with his role and status.

Then not so fishy after all just due diligence and as such the idea that the PM should have withheld payment as some sort of extra judicial punishment is for the birds

We know that Glasman warned McSweeny against the Mandelson appointment. Did McSweeny pass on those objections. Ignore them or was he pushed by someone else. It's all very murky. Besides that, getting rid of McSweeny couldn't do any harm.

Yes agree, but it's almost like they want the facade of democracy by simply offering different flavours of the same thing

Could be, but it is frightening that from Reform to Conservative to Labour seem to be coming from the same root at some level or at least in part

It is frightening that if you go from McSweeny to Marice Glasman you get to Steve Bannon. It seems it is not only the right who have signed up to the Peter Thiel/ MAGA project. To whom can we turn to escape the inevitable?

The McSweeny, Marice Glasman, Steve Bannon connection deserves more attention.

Oh so McSweeny mates are ganging up. It will end in warfare on the back benches. Grim times with grim choices for the vote.
