@BBCPolitics It's really not news. Nobody cares except lazy journalists. "Ooh, Mandelson said this and that". Literally makes no difference to anyone. Waste of licence fee.
@InstituteGC Burnham an outstanding minister under you? 1 year as a junior Health Minister. Streeting a "huge political talent"? Have you apologised for advocating going to war? Forgotten old man desperate for attention.
@GMB Inflation is the rate of prices going up. So this means prices overall are rising more slowly. Dont Jonathan Swain and Ranvir Singh understand this? You cannot freeze prices on milk, bread etc...
@BBCJLandale As far as I am aware, no one has launched a leadership challenge. But for a Labour Leader, it's doubly hard as they face a hostile media led by Tories like Mason, Kuensberg, Robinson, Preston and a right-wing dominated media. When Burnham doesn't get elected, I will be back π
@garybrett37@BethRigby Cover up? They've publicly interviewed everyone and published documents.....a civil servant ignored the vetting without telling anyone and approved the appointment. That's it.
@BethRigby Another storm in a teacup whipped up into a media frenzy over next to nothing. Basically another chinless public schoolboy Oxbridge wonder decided to ignore the vetting without even reading it and told no-one.
@BethRigby@joshglancy So Ms Rugby, plse can you explain what the issue is? Sacking Robbins who didn't bother to read the vetting document and then approved appt without informing anyone in govt. And kept it secret for months after Mandelson was sacked. Starmer absolutely right to sack him.
@BBCPolitics@ChrisMasonBBC So Robbins didn't even read the vetting document but decided not to advise anyone in govt and to approve the appt of Mandelson. So he was sacked. What is the issue? Journalists in meltdown over what exactly?
@BBCPolitics@ChrisMasonBBC Starmer lied to HoP so must resign? Er no he didn't. Starmer must resign over vetting? Er no, he wasn't told. Starmer must resign for appointing him in the 1st place? Where was the media outrage back in Dec 2024? Oh @bbclaurak invited Mandelson onto her show ....
@aquitainexox Stand up for UK interests? You mean join in attacking Iran bc his "great friend" Trump tells him to? Or blaming NATO for Russia invading Ukraine backing his "friend" Putin?
@Gasseous_Clay Yes he's definitely not taken money from an Iranian billionaire or appeared a couple of dozen times on Russia Today, definitely didn't call for the UK to attack Iran....
@GMB Congratulations on not showing the clip where the resident doctor called Madeley's question "silly". Madeley needs to stop parroting Daily Mail headlines. Yes we know he's a right wing troll.
@SebastianEPayne@SkyNews@mollyblackall@annabotting A lesson in being smug, arrogant and pompous. Fanboy of the joke that was Boris Johnson and that fantastic book you wrote saying Labour was finished after 2019 election. Your misjudgement is impeccable.
