Morgan McSweeney reveals that Sir Keir Starmer held a meeting in mid-December where a decision was made to appoint Lord Mandelson as US ambassador
There is no record of this meeting. There is no minute of the discussions or the reasoning behind the appointment at the time. The Cabinet Office simply can't find it. It does not appear to exist
So a really significant meeting on the appointment of the US ambassador - one which has had huge ramifications for Starmer's premiership - only appears to exist in the memory of those who were present
Labour MPs
If you vote to save Keir Starmer then you will 100% deserve the fate that is coming for you
We will never forgive you. You will be complicit.
So now we find Starmer had an undisclosed meeting with Palantir, with Mandelson, who subsequently were awarded a £250m contract. And Starmer denied it too.

Apparently the grooming gang inquiry will not look into the role of race or religion, won’t look into all cases and looks like they won’t deal with anyone that covered things up. If this is true it’s an utter disgrace!
👀The Electoral Commission give Democracy Volunteers access to polling stations at election time. Only they and the police can go inside. They’ve just issued this report about “family voting” in Gorton and Denton:
Democracy Volunteers deployed four accredited election observers across the Gorton and Denton Westminster Parliamentary By-election today. The team attended 22 of the 45 polling stations in the constituency, spending between 30 and 45 minutes in each.
The observers worked in pairs using the international standard for election observation - the four eyes principle. Each team assessed several aspects of the polling process, from accessibility to issues around the integrity of the vote.
Staff were welcoming to the team and we would like to thank them for their time in accommodating our work.
The team assessed two significant aspects of electoral integrity - family voting (where two voters either confer, collude or direct each other on voting) which breaches the secret ballot. The team also assessed the impact of the requirement for voters to show ID before they are issued with a ballot paper.
2023 saw the enactment of the Ballot Secrecy Act, which made the practice of family voting more clearly a breach of the secret ballot, making it more enforceable by staff in polling stations. Signage is now available to discourage the practice. Signage was only seen in 45% of the polling stations observed.
The observer team saw family voting in 15 of the 22 polling stations observed, some 32 cases in total, nine cases in one polling station alone. The team observed a sample of 545 voters casting their votes - meaning 12% of those voters observed either caused or were affected by family voting.
Commenting John Ault, Director of Democracy Volunteers said;
‘Today we have seen concerningly high levels of family voting in Gorton and Denton. Based on our assessment of today’s observations, we have seen the highest levels of family voting at any election in our 10 year history of observing elections in the UK.’
‘We rarely issue a report on the night of an election, but the data we have collected today on family voting, when compared to other recent by-elections, is extremely high.’
‘In the other recent Westminster parliamentary by-election in Runcorn and Helsby we saw family voting in 12% of polling stations, affecting 1% of voters. In Gorton and Denton, we observed family voting in 68% of polling stations, affecting 12% of those voters observed.’
The team also observed cases of voters being turned away, however, in each case this was due to them not being a registered voter for Westminster elections, such as having EU citizenship, and only being allowed to vote in local elections.
The team also saw a number of voters taking photographs of their ballot papers and one voter being authorised to vote despite them already having been marked as voted earlier in the day.
Democracy Volunteers has informed elections staff at Manchester City Council about our findings today.
This Statement is now available on the Democracy Volunteers website HERE.

@SamCoatesSky 'one voter being authorised to vote despite them already having been marked as voted earlier in the day.'
So how was he/she allowed to vote again?
Why are MP's, councillors and other prominent people able to get caught with category A deprived pictures on their laptops of children and not serve a single day in court when at the same time you get jailed for tweeting about it....?
We cant survive any more of this @UKLabour party.
@EssexPR "Save the kids" is the new " it's to save grandma"
Innocent phrases to push through dark legislation.
The biggest joke is we know Starmer doesn't give a damn about kids.
@GuidoFawkes "Limiting VPN access for kids"
A VPN is protection. A parent paying for a VPN will likely give their teenage kids one of their account slots.
Because it will help to protect them.
Trying to blame VPNs for harm to kids while blocking a national enquiry into child abuse is a joke.
@GuidoFawkes@canadiancarol1 Protecting kids from a virtual world but doing absolutely nothing to prevent them being attacked daily by illegal sex pests in the real world. This is not about protecting kids this is back door digital ID
Everybody will have to do this to “prove you’re not a kid” wake up
People
@GuidoFawkes Yes of course in order to "limit access for kids" you have to limit it for adults. That is to say, you have to "ID" adults who sign up for VPN services. This is their real plan isn't it.
A Prime Minister does not get to declare which chapters of our democratic history are valid and which are to be quietly erased. Saying “we are not the Britain of the Brexit years” isn’t leadership; it’s an attempt to rewrite a mandate delivered by millions of voters as though it were some adolescent phase the country should be embarrassed about.
That is not how democracy works. Governments are temporary. The electorate is permanent.
And no occupant of Downing Street, however pleased with his own rhetoric, has the authority to speak as though the public’s choices are something to be airbrushed out of the national story.
You can disagree with Brexit. You can debate its consequences.
But you cannot patronise the electorate by implying their vote is something Britain has “grown out of”. That tone is precisely why trust in politics keeps eroding. Just who the hell do you think you are Starmer?
