Starmer's vision quest

[Ian H]

The Govt has poo-poohed Mandelsons words pretty promptly.

Keep up at the back.

Yebbut, how come Mandelson is behaving like a loose cannon?

I know my little group of drinking pals is not statistically significant, and, may not be representative of the UK population (average age is 75, all male, all retired, but, formerly, Accountant, Police Officer, Teacher, Software Engineer), I cannot be 100% certain (secret ballot and all that), but, I am fairly confident there are no Reform Supporters.

In our Poll, on Friday evening, it was 2 for 2 against, no abstentions)

I see you've not come across Peter Mandelson before.

It's a Yougov poll in the Guardian.

Allegedly the gold standard of integrity

You LOLled as reports that the government had slapped down Mandelson, but didn't bother to explain what you found amusing. Was it that you enjoyed the notion of Mandelson being put in his place? Or are you implying that he wasn't?

Now you post yet another enigmatic statement free of substantive meaning. I accept this is your MO and it frees you from actually having to hold a considered opinion on anything, but it isn't particularly interesting. Sorry.

If he had been from the left of the party he would have been on the plane home by now.

I hear comrade Starmer is very proud of your unwavering support. He apparently visitsNCAP on occasion and binge reads your contributions. He is troubled by your position on Israel, though. Your should strive to align with him in that subject too.

Again...another pointless post with no interesting content, designed purely to try and get my attention.

Opposite effect achieved...back on ignore you go

Whilst you lapse into sudden naivety every time you need to avoid noticing the bleeding obvious. We've been through this Mandelson shit time and time again. What Mandelson says is the actual position, and what will happen. The red carpet for Zelenskyy performance is not going to stop Starmer chucking him under the bus. But it's going down very well with exactly who you'd expect it to...
