These lefties do not do responsibility, could get rid of miliband, stop the boats, have a controlled migration policy,cut benefits for the non worthy but that would mean all they been pushing for years was wrong and they don't do being wrong it doesn't compute, would m3an their world view is off.

Just watched some Labour MP being interviewed about Starmer. I think the public are now sick and tired of politicians not answering questions

Been that way for years starmer should be better than that.

If he's not then he should be disappointed in himself, and decide
what he wants to do.

His absurd statement comes one again with the perfunctory 'apology' to the 'victims of Epstein'.

No apology to Britain though.

Is there any chance the UK's ambassador to the US would almost need Trumps 'approval'? Conjecture but plausible imo he had some say. Starmer of course cannot ever say that.

It's all horse schitt obviously, no wonder they conspired to destroy the phone, and deleted all of the communications.

In PMQs he stated he had confidence in Mandy, the day before Mandy walked the plank. We're expected to believe that nobody told the quarter wit Starmer. Sorry sir, he actually failed the vetting don't you know Laugh

Why did farrage say that mandleson was an excellent
appointment as ambassador to USA.

Surely farrage being in the Epstein files would know
about mandleson.

Nigel Farage has said he would be willing to help Peter Mandelson negotiate with the Trump administration, after the Labour grandee was confirmed as Westminster’s new ambassador to the US.

Lord Mandelson has indicated he believes the Reform UK leader, a friend of Donald Trump, could serve as a link between the UK and the Republican president-elect.

Farage has previously offered to use his relationship with Trump and his team to act as a bridge between them and Downing Street. He told the Telegraph he would be willing to work with people in Labour if it was in the “national interestâ€.

“I am no fan of any of the people in the Labour party, but if it is in the national interest I have always thought I could be a useful asset if they want to use that - but if they don’t, more fool them,†the Clacton MP said.

Starmer has just been through 2 hours of Prime Ministers avoiding and deflecting answering why he appointed him so maybe once we get an answer to that important question we can whatabout to Farage.

Fairly easy device to gain publicity

Do something against the rules, get kicked out.

Not the first, nor the last to go for calling somebody a liar
when so many synonyms are permitted.

A choice to get kicked out, 30p leeanderthal

The Speaker has accepted Kemi Badenoch’s application for an emergency debate on Peter Mandelson under Standing Order 24.

Badenoch said: “There remain serious inconsistencies in the government's position.â€

The debate will take place after Olly Robbins has given evidence to the Foreign Affairs Committee. Appears this matter is far from over

Its seems that Starmer will stay on for now, but I suspect Labour MPs will turn on him after May 7th and get rid.

The state of the cabinet though, who will take over? David 'mastermind' Lammy, Rachel from Accounts? Yvette Cooper is even weaker than Starmer - she looks more suited to working in a charity shop or a florists than running the country.

Perhaps Angela Rayner will make a comeback? The disgraced ex Housing Minister who couldn't even work out the stamp duty on her own property, so naturally went for the lower rate. She also 'pledged' to build 1.5 million new homes by 2029 - how's that coming along Ang?

poor sod starmer can't catch a break, after another disastrous session in the house yesterday, including being humiliated by Diane Abbott no less, along comes Robbins to speak coherently for nearly 2 hours, and evidently on top of his brief. Unlike the complete muppet in charge of the Labour party (& nominally the country, unfortunately).
