Mandelson, so utterly devalued by his past, was involved with vetting prospective parliamentary candidates for the 2024 General Election. As if his being appointed UK ambassador to the USA was not unwise enough in itself, the ultimate political slimeball was there once more behind the scenes.
But it was not the UK’s free and fearless press that exposed the extent to which Mandelson had infiltrated Labour, the reality of his closeness to the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, or his willingness to allegedly pass the most confidential of information to the USA’s best-connected child abuser. That has come as a result of releases of The Epstein Files in the USA.
So many of those within the media establishment were gushing their praise of Mandelson when he was given the plum job in DC. So many of them were more than happy to socialise with the Prince of Darkness. So many of them, like so many senior Labour MPs, now claim they didn’t really know what Mandelson was like. Except they did, or they were totally naive.
Anyone with brain plugged in and a hole in their backside knew of the all too close friendship between Mandelson and Epstein. And that Mandelson, for instance, stayed at Epstein’s pad in New York City during the time that the latter first spent in jail. So the He-Lied-To-Us-Which-Means-We’re-The-Real-Victims-Here schtick is total baloney. It won’t bring alienated Labour activists back into the fold. Nor will it take the heat off Starmer and McSweeney.
Starmer is now saying he’s really, really, really sorry. He’s apologising profusely to Epstein’s victims. But it’s not Starmer who pushed for Mandelson to be given the DC job. It’s McSweeney. And for all those disillusioned activists, those who have left the Labour Party in their droves, this will not cut it. The sleazy, authoritarian, intolerant cabal running the party has to go.
Without their ground game at election time, Labour are finished. After that by-election comes a round of local elections. Shortage of foot soldiers means another horrendous set of results looms large. Removal of those who shat on Sue Grey, may have been not unconnected with Angela Rayner resigning, and who removed so many prospective candidates, is the only way out.
That means Starmer has to go. And working the PM from the shadows, Morgan McSweeney has to go, too, together with his cabal on Labour’s NEC. The media establishment has to tell this rabble of creeps that they will no longer accept the whisper-in-the-ear-drip-of-poison briefing. The Labour Together cancer must be cut out before it kills the party stone dead.
Senior Labour MPs, many in and around the media establishment, and those who have bankrolled those now slowly killing a once great party, need to take a long look in the mirror and realise that they have become the problem. The public is through with the lying, smearing, gaslighting and sleaze. They’re not the masters of the universe. They’re not even very naughty boys.
They’re just a stain on the body politic. And it’s time to wipe it clean.

Sigh.
ReplyDeleteRemember the "halcyon" days when dupes and morons could try to kid themselves "things will get better", that Labour hadn't been betrayed and corrupted since Kinnock, that Blair/Brown wasn't just another far right gang of mass murdering warmongering thieves, that deliberately inflicted poverty is the fault of the victims, that bankers aren't the lowest form of crawling life, that Murdoch/Rothermere and their employees aren't Nazi propagandists.
Ah yes, those were the days. But things will STILL get better.......
The only way that Starmer coul;ld have got out of this when this weeks emails came out was to say
ReplyDelete"OK we knew he was a bit of a wrong un, but unfortunately thats the sort of person who you have to employ as an intermediary with The Orange Gropenfuhrer. we've made sure he was watched at every possible time whilst he was over there, and as soon as it became clear he hadn't been telling us the truth we sacked him.
we'd looked through what he told us were his messages with Epstein, and none of those in this latest batch appeared. so I've refered him straight to the serious crimes squad and the DPP"
It probably would have gone the same, but that touch of honesty would have played better with the public.
Although the Man Baby in Florida would have taken the grudge to the grave
Starmer: "It wasn't me guv. It was that nasty Mandelson and Epstein."
ReplyDeleteYeah, right.
Starmer is but one symptom of the rotten-to-the-core far right British political system. Here is yet another example of just how deep rooted is the rottenness:

It needs not only the Labour Together cut out, it also needs the Blue Labour and Labour First lot cut out... they are all the same, and all lead by the same people working in the shadows.
ReplyDeleteHell, the whole of Labour needs routing out... its so infected by people who's only true belief is "whats in it for me, how can I get shit loads of cash" and are beholden to capital - not labour. It needs to die, its no longer Labour. Sooner the better.
