Tulip has just spoken on the Mandelson scandal in the Commons.

A short guide by @timothy_stanley setting out the claims about links between senior Labour figures and the Epstein. Can Starmer survive this scandal?

I wish Harriet was right, but this is far from exceptional. Across the UK are politicians at all levels who simply should not be there. A man I let go after 9 days is on Govt front bench; a local Labour Cllr was appointed after I sacked him for gross misconduct. Many many more...

Rupert Lowe in Parliament today thanks Elon Musk and 𝕏 for helping expose the evil of the Epstein list. Moans, groans, and shouts of "shame" ring out. They know their times are almost up.

Further thoughts: The Mandelson scandal only reinforces what many voters think of our governing class. It will not play well in the Gorton and Denton by-election on Feb 26, which must now be on track to lose. And if Starmer is still around as PM for that result, defeat would

Major crime scene

To every single politician, aid worker, journalist and campaigner who lied about October 7 and the Gaza war, who falsely claimed there was a genocide, who pretended that Hamas were freedom fighters, not jihadist terrorists, who defended "globalising the intifada", don't look

I have written to the European Anti-Fraud Office asking them to investigate whether Peter Mandelson used his tenure as EU Trade Commissioner for personal financial gain.

There’s a reason why Starmer was shaking at the despatch box today: He knows this is the end. He knows that in the annals of British history his name will forever be synonymous with slander, sleaze, treachery and betrayal. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.

The Deputy Presiding Officer (an SNP MSP) gave me a 46 second telling off for going seven seconds over my time limit, during a debate when we were exposing the SNP's abysmal record on supporting businesses. The SNP keep trying to shut me up. I will not shut up.

De Montfort University student stabbed to death in Leicester with 18-year-old arrested on suspicion of murder - BBC News

Very odd way of presenting the polling data from Sky News here…

So much speculation about what is happening in Leicester. The Southport tragedy taught the authorities nothing. People will speculate and there will be a vacuum of misinformation.

Keir Starmer appointed Peter Mandelson, even though he knew about the Epstein connection. Starmer’s judgement is now the central question

These women are bloody superstars of women’s rights & safeguarding. We are in a second suffrage movement to stop women becoming an idea in a man’s head! Not votes obviously. But the right to be defined by the reality of human biology not self professed, self serving feelings!

Why didn’t you ask him that question at dinner?

Deputy PM @DavidLammy waxing lyrically about Lord Mandelson. "A man of considerable expertise. The right man to be our Ambassador." "Looking forward to presenting his credentials to Donald Trump." That worked out well.

My take on that diabolical creep Peter Mandelson. And why Starmer should resign. 👇 When I met Peter Mandelson, I knew straight away he was rotten

Lucy Powell said Brits who want justice over the mass rape of working class kids were blowing a “dog whistle” Starmer said they were “jumping on a far-right bandwagon” Labour turned a blind eye to the grooming gangs like they turned a blind eye to Mandelson Jog on Labour
