I thought it was a weak PMQs all round.

52 to 48. I am not sure who was the 52 mind.

Agree it was poor

1 0 Starmer though as Nick Timothy is fatally wounded.

She’s not going to sack Nick Timothy for expressing an obvious truth

But it's bollocks. People praying freely is not an "act of domination" unless one is some sort of weirdo banging on about an Open Iftar event and how unpatriotic that would be, and looking for clicks/ likes. We had one on here last evening. Can't remember which dreary poster it was though.

It's the complete truth, even you know it. The difference is that up until now no one has been brave enough to say it. Nick Timothy has decided to speak out. Well done him

Nick Timothy gets serious death threats for his pains, which rather proves his point

Oh behave. You as one of our foremost print journalists should know that unhinged threats come from all sides. And all should be condemned equally.

The last MP murdered, David Amess, was killed by an Islamist attacker. So it's not like Timothy is being all precious about his safety. He is bravely wading into dangerous territory

.

Starmer struggled much more again when its Mandelson week. You can draw your own conclusions about why and what that means may be coming out, but it seems to be THE achilles heel

No body is interested in Mandelson

He answered
He apologised

A shame Badenoch thinks that is the only issue people are interested in

No one is.

Starmer appointed Mandelson and the others didn't, so he's vulnerable. Not changed by an element of "seemed like a good idea at the time". Plenty of us on here, including myself as I recall, thought there was some logic to appointing a turd to deal with The Turd, but we're keeping quiet about it now.

At the time I don't recall anyone on here saying that Mandy is a c-nt who was basically Epstein's cabana boy so why are we giving him the keys to Massachusetts Ave?

Starmer can't admit to the truth that Mandelson was chosen specifically for his guile. At what level of degeneracy does crafty fox turn into morally unacceptable? If the person turns out to be knee deep with an industrial level paedophile obviously. I assume Starmer wasn't aware how deep that connection, but I admit I haven't been following closely.

Incidentally I can think of at least two or three other commentators here who thought the Mandelson appointment somewhat astute.

I have to admit that, at the time, I thought it was a good idea. Mandelson has proved several times that he's as bent as a fiddlers elbow, but on the other hand he was going to be dealing with Trump, with whom he apparently got on.Takes one to know one and all that!

I don't recall a great deal of fuss about Epstein at the time, except as an associate of he who is now known as AM-W, and an 'introducer' to the same, of young women.

Over the months more and more information has come to light about the depravity of Epstein and his associates, much of which Mandelson had, wisely, not talked about much.

When fuller facts, and I think there's much more yet, came to light Starmer realised his error and took appropriate action.

These things are coming to light to us, the general public, now, but they were already known to the PM when he appointed Mandelson against official advice.

The story isn’t any more about Mandelson and Epstein, it’s about Starmer and his judgement.

‘BREAKING: Iran has issued an order to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE to evacuate energy facilities following Israeli strikes on Iran's largest gas facility.‘

This was just seems to be aimless hammering of the energy infrastructure either side of the sea.

We are all paying the price for it.

You ain't seen nothing on price yet.

Nope and no sign of demand destruction either.

The Iranians have published their list of retaliatory targets.

‘ Iran’s semi-official media has published a list of retaliatory energy targets:

Ras Laffan refinery – Qatar
Samref oil refinery – Saudi Arabia
Al Hosn gasfield – UAE
Jubail petchem plant – Saudi Arabia
Mesaieed petchem plant – Qatar’

The US and Israel hit Iran at will and their supposed allies, mugs for trusting them, get screwed.

Life comes at people hard. The Gulf states are getting a valuable life lesson here. They’d be fools to ignore it.

And the penultimate murdered MP was executed by an extreme right wing nutter. You can frame your narrative how you wish, but that doesn't stop it being misleading.

Timothy knows exactly what he is doing, playing to the Reform Tommy tribe. Winding up those right wing nutters who killed Jo Cox.

Starmer was very clever to both out him and make the point that even Tommy Robinson thought the Tories under Badenoch are scraping the barrel.

Hard to see how Timothy can survive

Harder to see how they appointed him in the first place.

Of course commentators like Michael Gove considered Mandelson's appointment a work of genius, until it wasn't. We all knew Mandelson had ties with Epstein and Trump which is why Starmer's decision was inspired until it wasn't. Was it a good idea at the time? Probably. Was it a good idea with hindsight? Definitely not. Should Starmer fall, probably, simply because the decision was his and his alone and it blew his face off. On the other hand is Badenoch a serious politician when we are on the cusp of WW3 and she feels compelled never to mention the war?

Only morons and fools would ever have thought it was a good idea, he was a well known roaster and should never have been let over the doorstep.

Spoiler: it wasn't Starmer.

I am not sure it was Badenoch either, and Davy was unusually Shi'ite too.

I just realised. Kemi Badenoch is the Jeremy Corbyn of the Conservative Party. Sympathetic towards actors hostile to our country; give tacit support to sectarianism; never stray outside their partisan comfort zones; never make a hard decision.

Israel is certainly not hostile to the UK

It’s hardly a great friend either.
