Quite right that @KemiBadenoch wants all files on the vetting of Peter Mandelson for US Ambassador released. @Keir_Starmer says he’ll agree – except for “national security” papers. That decision should rest with a High Court judge, not the Prime Minister.

‼️So the big question this morning: do Labour MPs vote later for the government amendment to motion to publish the “Mandelson files” (which will be the first vote) - and pretend that they are voting for transparency - even though the “except papers prejudicial to UK national

This is the original Epstein whistle blower, dutch supermodel Karen Mulder. She lost her career, was put on medication and into a psych ward for speaking out. Don’t forget her because she’s a hero.

Sophy Ridge confronts Wes Streeting: its easy to condemn Mandelson now, but why wasn't he ruled out as ambassador? Streeting defends the appointment but says more info has since come out. So you were ok with him staying at Epsteins house after Epstein was convicted? Got it.

Lucy Connelly, jailed over a viral post on mass deportations, is walking free next week—and it has detonated a political bomb in Westminster. With £157,000 raised, supporters hailing her as a free-speech victim, and her name now circling Parliament, Keir Starmer is furious as the

One from the archives. In September last year govt minister @AlexDaviesJones was asked 4 times why the fact that Mandelson stayed at Epsteins house after he'd been convicted wasn't enough to stop him being appointed. She dodged it every time

All this talk of Mandelson going to prison is a bit harsh, I mean it's not like he's posted some hurty words.

Whole thing is unbelievable. In the middle of the financial crisis Mandelson - effectively Deputy PM - appears to have advised an US banker to “mildly threaten” the Chancellor of the Exchequer to stop him implementing government policy. You can’t hate these people too much.

So many pundits falling for a distraction tactic. Who cares whether Mandelson stays in the House of Lords? The question is why Starmer leapfrogged hundreds of more suitable candidates to appoint him. How can a man with such poor judgment remain as PM? https://t.co/WbHvqLJT1h

September 2025: “Sky News understands security services did raise concerns to Downing Street about appointing Lord Mandelson as US Ambassador - but Number 10 pressed ahead anyway.” And this is why Keir Starmer’s position as Prime Minister is untenable. https://t.co/ry9ReWtQ8l
