      So Starmer knew about their ongoing relationship when he appointed Mandelson but relied on Mandelson’s assurances that the relationship was … what, not serious?

      Starting to think we might be looking at the last few days of Starmerism.

      What a brutal PMQs, one of the first times we’ve truly seen Starmer floundering.

      I dont think this will directly topple him, but it damn sure has hurt his authority and given anyone who wants to oust him major ammo. That said I think anyone going „but he has a rock solid majority he can’t possibly go!“ needs to remember Johnson, and although ousting a Labour leader is tougher than a Tory one..I do think this particular topic could make it very easy for a Labour leader to get kicked out

      ‚Growns up are back in charge‘ my ass..

      Wes Streeting could well be the Prime Minister by the end of the year.

      Bad results in the Gorton by-election and the May council elections could genuinely finish Starmer.

      But the cabinet will surely be keen to avoid a bruising or embarrassing leadership contest with somebody on the left of the Party. A lot of backbenchers will come under pressure to get behind a preferred successor.

      Was Mandelson picked mainly so him and Trump could bond over their pedo mate?

      Comment section in here is condemning Starmer’s handling of this, which is fine. I do find it a little odd commenters keep uttering the same catchphrase though.

      This is definitely a fuck up by Starmer. But I swear if he sneezed without covering his mouth. You lot would be at his throat lol

      Starmer conveniently unveiling a “national cancer plan” around the exact same time as this Mandelson drama is frankly the most disgusting part of the whole thing. Using cancer as a way out of this and a PR move is truly awful.

      PLP in absolute shambles right now and Labour MPs reportedly furious. Starmer being knifed in the front by Rayner and amendments getting amended in the commons. Can’t help but get the feeling that a single ministerial resignation right now could very possibly do Starmer in for good

      Big fucking whoop

      Mandelson lied again, that’s what he does and only reason starmer picked him is because of Trump

      This wont topple starmer and if it does that is weak shit

      Tory govt had a 2 year long party during covid, many got fined, saw ppl die alone, ppe contracts given to rich mates and really nothing happened all the while 14years of toryism ruined the country

      The bit that nobody in government can admit is that they probably did appoint Mandelson because he was used to dealing with the slimy characters in the Trump team.

      Its another case of him showing zero awareness of how politics really works because he isnt really a political animal. He’s just a technocrat who jumped into bed with some of the biggest factional schemers of the Labour right who were all too willing to use his empty head to get to No10. Nobody in the senior team seems to live in the real world and are handing the country to Reform by being totally blind to the human side of politics.

      Between this and the omnishambles about to hit the hospitality sector, i think we may be at the point of him being cast out and replaced by someone not linked to the Labour right.

      Any other reasonable person would’ve seen that flag as a hard „hell no“

      He either has to admit corruption, because there would be some reason to accept it, or incompetence, because he took the words as prima facie despite a long list of scandals and lies.

      Something like this in the past usually leads to resignations, not just of the subject, but those accountable for it.

      If Starmer tries to sweep this away, he’s gonna be gone
