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.
When we were in Grasmere the other day the only Wordsworthian property open was Allan Bank (Nat Trust). The other three (Cockermouth, Dove Cottage, and Rydal Mount) all closed for one reason or another.
Question - does anyone else have as many as four properties devoted to their memory as Wordsworth does?
Apparently, WW disliked Allan Bank as it was too big, too cold, and required two servants to be habitable. Also Coleridge by that time was proving a less than congenial housemate probably due to his laudanum intake and unhappy lovelife. (Sounds a bit like an unrehabilitated @leon) Worth a visit but very little authentic memorabilia, although WW did write his guide to the Lake District there. Most of the imperishable poetry happened at Dove Cottage.
Grasmere church is always worth a visit, where WW is buried and where you can contemplate his unique description of its equally unique roof:
"...the roof upheld By naked rafters intricately crossed, Like leafless underboughs, in some thick wood, All withered by the depth of shade above".
Yep. Gets a mention in Simon Jenkins's "England's 1000 Best Churches" on account of the Wordsworth association and the weird exposed roof beams. Good book that, by the way - sometimes plan my travels to take into a church or two that he recommends.
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.
Starmer should certainly have known about some of the Mandelson/Epstein involvement. If he didn't, then what is our Secret Service doing? But there has to be an element of 'when there facts change, I change my opinion'. I'm not saying it's not a mess, and one which Starmer surely wishes he'd avoided. Haven't we all (well, those of us who've had to make decisions) been there though? I know I have!
“ Starmer should certainly have known about some of the Mandelson/Epstein involvement. If he didn't, then what is our Secret Service doing?”
Who did our secret services come up with as idea person to have in there, and report back to them? Such dirty work.
‘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.‘
On Iran, President Masoud Pezeshkian seems to be the only member of the erstwhile leadership team left alive. Is that because 1) he's got such limited power that Israel doesn't see him as worth the expenditure of another missile? Or 2) he's a Mossad agent?
Leon patted down the Islamaphobic sand and placed the ball at a 45' angle in eager anticipation someone would kick it straight and true through the posts.

Panic response
Kemi asked 3 times “did you speak to Mandy before appointing him” and each time Starmer did not answer the question. Then Kemi said “the evasion all points to the fact YOU DIDN’T speak to him yourself, before appointing him”
Wait! Does it? Does evasion point to the fact he didn’t?
I thought the evasion was all pointing to the fact he had spoken to him before appointment, to be honest. That - speaking to Mandy himself and getting answer he had met with Epstein after the conviction - surely is where the damage and danger is to Starmer.
I think Kemi dropped the ball.
Stsrmer has put on record in the house that Mandelson lied to him personally. If she gets him to admit he did not speak to him its misleading the house time.
Thats the point of it i think
It’s an odd way for her to do it, answering the question herself, with her belief it was the opposite of what the truth is, opposite to where the danger to Starmer is.
Nah. She dropped the ball.
His obvious answered should be, which one of the hundreds of conversations I've had with Peter on hundreds of issues over 20 years does she specifically want me to comments on.
You want to tie Starmer that close to Mandelson and somehow that helps him
No Tory has never had an acquaintance with a paedo?
Mandelson has been a major Labour political figure for 30 years
Your point is?
If you can't see the connection to your suggestion then you are oblivious to what you are writing
The expression you protest too much
Starmer had a nightmare today
Questions smoking out how rubbish Labour are on cost of living would have been a more triumphant PMQs for Kemi IMHO.
I still think, learning from history, 6 questions on Mandelson was wasted approach. in the history books on Mandelson leaving government for mortgage fraud, all the pressure put on Tony Blair for whopping error of judgement, all the fun Lord Richmond and the media had ripping Blair’s credibility to shreds… but then look at the final result in 2001 GE. 🤷♀️
Kemi’s Tory’s need to put on votes at PMQs, and the way to do that is how Labour do nothing or next to nothing on the cost of living. Look at the Daily Express today, look what they gave Kemi to attack with Labour policies taking 40K from households during cost of living crisis is awful.
Is the fear here, Kemi goes on Mandelson again and again because she can’t mention Cost of Living ever again because the error she has made backing Trump’s war? ☹️
Why are you liking this post Brixian?
Labour been in two years, and have appalling record on cost of living, is why it’s losing one and a half thousand councillors in a few weeks time in an extra special stuffing.
Do you think UK tax rates are too low, and there’s plenty of leeway for more tax and spend?
‘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.
Rachel from accounts fans please explain.
I refer the rigged dishonourable gentleman to the image I posted some minutes ago.
I was channeling my inner PB. I wouldn't dream of being such a Trumpian misogynist in reality.
Rachel from accounts is rather a disgusting slur on the "fairer sex". Anyway, would you mind getting back to that basket of laundry that needs ironing?
A man is more than capable of hunting and gathering his clothes from the utility room, and if wants crease’s out, using the simplest of machinery to achieve this.
Right on sister. Before I was married* I had a Corby trousers press.
* I'm joking I do all my own ironing. Although isn't this ironing free BryNylon marvellous stuff!
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

Ironing is much eased as a chore by turning sleeves and trouser legs inside out and back again before hanging them up to dry; takes out loads of the creases. If using a tumble dryer, just dry the clothes for ironing in smaller batches, and don’t leave them lying in the dryer. Spray starch makes shirts look smarter
I bought two Surface laptops recently. The big one is great, does the job perfectly. But I bought a smaller one, for travel, and I confess it is slightly frustrating. Not a disaster, but a bit fiddly (or I am getting old, and need BIG things, or both)
However the small Surface laptop fits exquisitely inside a vintage snakeskin folder from 1940s Africa, which I found on eBay, and which attracts perplexed and admiring glances, every time I fish it out on my travels. I am SO narcissistic I am willing to tolerate the glitchy little keypad in return for these envious looks
I guess they could all be thinking "why does that old geezer have his laptop in a weird snakeskin pouch" but that's ridic
Have Trump and the ayatollahs had more disagreement ?
Oh a small matter of Israel bombing the facilities that produce about 70% of Iranian gas as well as other product including those needed for food production.
Starvation as a weapon of war will be excused, of course.
They know what they are doing. This is mainly down to the US.
‘ South Pars is the largest gas field on Earth. It produces 70 to 80 percent of Iran’s total gas output. That gas is not just fuel. It is the hydrogen feedstock for the Haber-Bosch process that synthesises ammonia, which becomes urea, which becomes the nitrogen that half the planet’s agriculture depends on. South Pars gas feeds Iranian fertiliser production at its molecular root.’
Good news for Kemi, if the local and devolved elections NEV in May is similar to that MiC she will likely survive but SKS probably won't
Based on the swing between polls in May 2022 and polls now, the implied seats in the local are as follows:
Yes but most of provincial England isn't having elections, so the NEV is more important than the actual seat totals, though even your chart has Labour losing more seats in May than the Tories
Well RefUK has been losing 1.5 a week from the batch of 677 elected in May 2025 (65 in 45 weeks).
So if we have 1609 new ones, that will be ... erm .. 1.5 x 1609/677, which is 3.6 extra Reform Councillor Defenestrations per Week (RCDW).
I'd round up to 4 because Nigel has removed all the quality controls, and is happy to let all the previously rejected knuckle-draggers back in. Plus presumably the better ones will want to be MPs.
But going with 3.5 makes it a very neat one per weekday in total, with a slight buffer, or 5 RCDW .
Happy Times for @Taz !!! He'll need to go on the drink in his homemade wine cellar to escape the barrage of carrier pigeons hunting him down with the news capsules.

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.

Did Colin? ( From your previous post?)
If he had the same background as Tea Leaves, yes
You have moved the misogynistic comedy goal posts. I have no time for Reeves. Get rid! But Rachel from accounts is a slur specifically aimed at her not because she is useless but because she is a woman, and a woman of the left too.

Labour first budget was a disaster. It was a disaster mainly because of McSweeney and his ming case.
Until 4 weeks ago it looked like good progress could have been made in September to start to correct it.
Unless there is a huge and quick c change on ME that is not now possible
Thats why Starmer will continue to pin Act of War Act of Aggression on Badenoch and Farage
Had they have PM we'd have been in middle of a far greater disaster now.

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.
Ironing is much eased as a chore by turning sleeves and trouser legs inside out and back again before hanging them up to dry; takes out loads of the creases. If using a tumble dryer, just dry the clothes for ironing in smaller batches, and don’t leave them lying in the dryer. Spray starch makes shirts look smarter
1 0 Starmer though as Nick Timothy is fatally wounded.
She’s not going to sack Nick Timothy for expressing an obvious truth
I don't see the issue with what Nick Timothy has said. Its a view many will share. I understand some Muslim clerics used to preach and pray i the road because they were denied the use of a mosque. That surely isn't the case here. Some will say its just people showing their faith, others will say its making a statement. But Timothy has a right to his opinion.
Timothy isn't so much making an observation as a call to arms for people like Leon.
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.
Israel under Netanyahu is openly hostile to Starmer.
Personally believe he has been way way too soft on them
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.
The response is that they “followed the process”
The process, apparently is to ask a proven serial liar something, then write his responses down as the truth.
The process, further is unable to detect when someone emails secret internal government information to his personal email account, then forwarded it to various crooks and spivs.
What does this process add, again?
No, don’t tell me. If we just add another 10,000 pages…
‘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.

If using a tumble dryer, just dry the clothes for ironing in smaller batches, and don’t leave them lying in the dryer. Spray starch makes shirts look smarter
The best way to iron shirts is to take them out of the washer-dryer CAREFULLY, making sure they do not bunch up into a ball, then walk SLOWLY towards the ironing board, with the shirt draped loosely over your right arm, then walk straight past the ironing board, out the flat, down the road, and give them to a dry cleaner and say "iron all these, return them neatly folded"
You want your shirts folded?
That’s the wrong way to do it, you want your shirts ironed and on hangers.
No, because they come neatly folded inside little plastic thingies to preserve them from dirt and creasing. Which means I can just chuck them untouched into a suitcase, then when they are needed on my adventures, I rip open the plastic and voila, a perfectly ironed shirt. From a suitcase
This is a huge boon to me, given how much I travel

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.

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
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.

Here's another cheering thought. Pretty soon litter will be a thing of the past, because councils will sack all the street cleaners and get small humanoid robots to pick up all the rubbish. They will be vastly cheaper than human labour, and they will work 24/7, tirelessly, in all weathers, for no money. Only going home to be recharged. So all the litter will disappear (which will be nice, in London)

Kemi asked 3 times “did you speak to Mandy before appointing him” and each time Starmer did not answer the question. Then Kemi said “the evasion all points to the fact YOU DIDN’T speak to him yourself, before appointing him”
Wait! Does it? Does evasion point to the fact he didn’t?
I thought the evasion was all pointing to the fact he had spoken to him before appointment, to be honest. That - speaking to Mandy himself and getting answer he had met with Epstein after the conviction - surely is where the damage and danger is to Starmer.
I think Kemi dropped the ball.
Stsrmer has put on record in the house that Mandelson lied to him personally. If she gets him to admit he did not speak to him its misleading the house time.
Thats the point of it i think
It’s an odd way for her to do it, answering the question herself, with her belief it was the opposite of what the truth is, opposite to where the danger to Starmer is.
Nah. She dropped the ball.
His obvious answered should be, which one of the hundreds of conversations I've had with Peter on hundreds of issues over 20 years does she specifically want me to comments on.
You want to tie Starmer that close to Mandelson and somehow that helps him
No Tory has never had an acquaintance with a paedo?
Mandelson has been a major Labour political figure for 30 years
Your point is?
If you can't see the connection to your suggestion then you are oblivious to what you are writing
The expression you protest too much
Starmer had a nightmare today
Questions smoking out how rubbish Labour are on cost of living would have been a more triumphant PMQs for Kemi IMHO.
I still think, learning from history, 6 questions on Mandelson was wasted approach. in the history books on Mandelson leaving government for mortgage fraud, all the pressure put on Tony Blair for whopping error of judgement, all the fun Lord Richmond and the media had ripping Blair’s credibility to shreds… but then look at the final result in 2001 GE. 🤷♀️
Kemi’s Tory’s need to put on votes at PMQs, and the way to do that is how Labour do nothing or next to nothing on the cost of living. Look at the Daily Express today, look what they gave Kemi to attack with Labour policies taking 40K from households during cost of living crisis is awful.
Is the fear here, Kemi goes on Mandelson again and again because she can’t mention Cost of Living ever again because the error she has made backing Trump’s war? ☹️
Why are you liking this post Brixian?
Labour been in two years, and have appalling record on cost of living, is why it’s losing one and a half thousand councillors in a few weeks time in an extra special stuffing.

LOTO was a disaster today
Labour first budget was a disaster. It was a disaster mainly because of McSweeney and his ming case.
Until 4 weeks ago it looked like good progress could have been made in September to start to correct it.
Unless there is a huge and quick c change on ME that is not now possible
Thats why Starmer will continue to pin Act of War Act of Aggression on Badenoch and Farage
Had they have PM we'd have been in middle of a far greater disaster now.
I am no where near as tribal as some right wing posters on here. I admit mistakes if I believe they are unforgivable
Starmer is actively allowing the US to bomb Iran from Fairford, unlike Meloni [Italy] and Sanchez [Spain ] who have distanced themselves from the conflict and refused their air bases to be used or any military involvement
It is not just semantics but plain dishonesty to paint Starmer as standing up to the US
And as far as being tribal, we can all be partisan but your language and weird obsession is just that, weird

How the F does the maths on that work?
(Oh I see; it's a lifetime calculation by the Taxpayers Alliance.
It is not a cost to households of the increase, it is the cost of the total amount of duty and I assume VAT over a 60 year period for all members of a household. There is no comment about rapidly increasing use of electric vehicles.

Starmer has allowed refuelling planes and specific bombing of missile launch sites. Nothing more.
It's very fucking weird to claim that Starmer has not stood up to the US, when Trump has launched a daily tirade at Starmer for standing up to the US.
Of course you'll play the usual weird trick of saying not bending over showing their ass holes like Kemi and Farage is not standing up to Trump but hey ho the truth passes you by with great regularity no doubt due to the Mail, Telegraph, Express and GB News.

However the small Surface laptop fits exquisitely inside a vintage snakeskin folder from 1940s Africa, which I found on eBay, and which attracts perplexed and admiring glances, every time I fish it out on my travels. I am SO narcissistic I am willing to tolerate the glitchy little keypad in return for these envious looks
I guess they could all be thinking "why does that old geezer have his laptop in a weird snakeskin pouch" but that's ridic
Starvation as a weapon of war will be excused, of course.
They know what they are doing. This is mainly down to the US.
‘ South Pars is the largest gas field on Earth. It produces 70 to 80 percent of Iran’s total gas output. That gas is not just fuel. It is the hydrogen feedstock for the Haber-Bosch process that synthesises ammonia, which becomes urea, which becomes the nitrogen that half the planet’s agriculture depends on. South Pars gas feeds Iranian fertiliser production at its molecular root.’

So if we have 1609 new ones, that will be ... erm .. 1.5 x 1609/677, which is 3.6 extra Reform Councillor Defenestrations per Week (RCDW).
I'd round up to 4 because Nigel has removed all the quality controls, and is happy to let all the previously rejected knuckle-draggers back in. Plus presumably the better ones will want to be MPs.
But going with 3.5 makes it a very neat one per weekday in total, with a slight buffer, or 5 RCDW .
Happy Times for @Taz !!! He'll need to go on the drink in his homemade wine cellar to escape the barrage of carrier pigeons hunting him down with the news capsules.

We are not becoming "an Islamic nation".
Timothy is just indulging in shit stirring bordering on Islamophobia.
But that's politics !
(Oh I see; it's a lifetime calculation by the Taxpayers Alliance.
It is not a cost to households of the increase, it is the cost of the total amount of duty and I assume VAT over a 60 year period for all members of a household. There is no comment about rapidly increasing use of electric vehicles.
At least the TPA headline is better than the Daily Excess.

Starmer has allowed refuelling planes and specific bombing of missile launch sites. Nothing more.
It's very fucking weird to claim that Starmer has not stood up to the US, when Trump has launched a daily tirade at Starmer for standing up to the US.
Of course you'll play the usual weird trick of saying not bending over showing their ass holes like Kemi and Farage is not standing up to Trump but hey ho the truth passes you by with great regularity no doubt due to the Mail, Telegraph, Express and GB News.
Playing the man and not the ball again,.
