As I flipped the pages on the 1500 blockbuster response to the Humble Address I was amazed at how many near blank pages there were. They might have enticing indications of messages and conversations, but there was no material to or from the Prime Minister about the crucial matters of how he chose Lord Mandelson, what he was told about Lord Mandelson when making the appointment, what he asked to be done to carry out due diligence, or what conversations he had with Lord Mandelson before and after appointment. The conversations with the PM’s Chief of Staff, a key advocate of Mandelson’s appointment, are also missing.
I have no problem with the suppression of briefing material and commentary about the US and about events and meetings Lord Mandelson held as Ambassador where state secrets were exchanged or where there were mentions of items that would harm the UK if they were revealed. I do have problems if there are cases of witholding any information about the circumstances of the appointment, the risks involved, the mitigations required in the light of the risks. Where are the documents to support the decision to make a political appointment, to check out the candidate, and to handle his declared interests? Nor should we be spared the conversations between UK Ministers about the state of the government and the impact of the appointment, however embarrassing. We have seen some of that.
There are also important policy matters that need to be examined. I was pleased to see Lord Mandelson was proposing change of economic policy to get some growth, and was rightly critical of the government’s approach to tax, spend, benefits and business. We have not seen reports of conversations and meetings about EU re set and the interplay between the EU and the US which must have been central to some of his work as Ambassador to the US. During his period as Ambassador President Trump became more critical of the EU and wanted to give them harsher treatment than the UK over trade. What was said about this between Ambassador and Prime Minister? How did EU re set affect the negotiaitons they were holding with the US?

Is he still *Lord* Mandelson?

All the hassle of the Humble Address yet still they get away with redacting so much that should not have been. They still evem refuse to release deaths health data broken down by Covid vaccine status and dates/age groups for entirely bogus reasons. This as these would almost certainly show that the COVID vaccines did huge net harms as we can see from other worldwide statistics that have been released. Which is why, I assume, they are so strongly resisting.
Sir Keir Starmer’s official spokesman has stated outright that “there is no such thing as two-tier policing,” emphasizing that police forces must treat everyone equally.
Attorney General’s Remarks: Lord Hermer directly addressed the allegations, describing the “two-tier” claims as “frankly disgusting”.
Sir Two Tier and Hermer it is not Farrage inciting trouble it is your blatant lies above that is disgusting & whipping up trouble. Two Tier DEI justice is blatant and enshrined in the Police’s own National Police Chief Council documents, also the right to carry religious knives in law and the sentencing guidelines (later withdrawn) and sentencing in practice 31 months for Lucy Connolly fast tracked by Starmer.

It was interesting that Mandleson was involved with Powell over the Chagos fiasco. Etc ed
I do hope when we get a proper government that all these redactions are exposed so we can see the extent of betrayal by this odious man
Watching the PM comment on the young lad who was handcuffed after being stabbed made me feel sick. A situation he did so much to encourage. I note he didn’t take the knee.

biggest problem is that so many politicians phones have supposedly been stolen, suspiciously when data is needed from them. and the prime minister is revealed to be using WhatsApp with auto delete of messages setup. er that’s not a secure way for a pm to be passing messages, and auto delete fails the smell test.

Good Morning,
Never fear Lord J, Lady Nugee is on the case! I heard the good minister being interviewed over the weekend and she WANTS TO KNOW, how Mandelson went from being an outside runner to being the only name in the frame. She admits she thinks it’s all McSweeney’s doing, gratitude to his former master.
What the papers do tell is the mismanagement, incompetence and lack of ideas the No. 10 office is under Starmer; as if we didn’t know! ‘Just find more ways to tax the peasants’, is the plan!

Perhaps Hermer and Starmer have not seen the vile National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) strategy document regarding how officers should approach different communities. The text states: “Producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups by responding to individuals and communities according to their specific needs, circumstances and experiences… It does not mean treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’ (racial equality).” Blatant two tier justice that has led directly to several deaths and huge resentments.
I blame this top down guidance more than the junior police officers at the scene – true they made bad errors but only briefly for a couple of minutes while they tried to size up the true picture. Perhaps they had dealt with thousands of situations and got all of the others right other. We all make the odd error, “let him without sin cast the first stone”. I left my hand brake off in the car once and the dog’s movement set it off down the road. Fortunately no harm or injury resulted.

The fact that Sir Two Tier Keir even considered Mandelson for the ambassador roll tells us rather a lot about Starmer’s total lack of judgement and his levels of sanity!
June 3, 2026
I’ll tell you all you need to know about Mandelson, He is and always was a shady character (i’m trying to be polite)
The fact Starmer thought he was the man for the job, shows a complete lack of intelligence and the cover-up continues.
