So, how many of Labour's front bench, and high position people have been sacked, forced to resign..?

Authentic? I very much doubt he wears blue pants.
Depends if Lord Ali asked him to, surely?

Here’s the silly bint again. Would though, although she was apparently a massively pretentious tw@t at university…

Mandelson's position became untenable, only after incriminating Epstein files were going to be made public.
Mandelson knew these documents existed, and you can bet Starmer did. Putting the precautionary approach of "innocent until proved guilty", to one side, this has got to critically damage Starmer. If it weren't for other hot news topics keeping this from the front pages, Starmer would be packing his bags. (just my opinion)
And the gut-wrenching stuff, is that Mandelson's connections/activities were known about before he was gifted the dream job of Ambassador to the USA. I also reckon Mandelson got a hefty pay-off and final salary pension. Mandelson should probably be in jail.

He's is for a hefty pay off right enough. The tax payer wears it as usual.
Peter Mandelson set for six-figure golden handshake after Epstein scandal
The Labour peer is understood to have told friends he has no intention of standing down from the House of Lords.

I knew I’d dislike this woman. I’d like to describe this person in other ways…
I am beginning to believe Starmer is doing this on purpose as he is a dead man walking. Why would you make this racist woman HS, why would you make Mandleson UK Ambassador to USA?
David Lammy as Foreign Secretary, I could go on.

Because he doesn't have too many friends in his own party?
We need more migrants 😕

'Unemployment epidemic' as 1.1m under-30s now on jobless benefits
More than 2,000 young people are signing on every day under Labour, with 66,000 more on the dole than before Sir Keir Starmer moved into Downing Street in July 2024.

I want the Labour leadership to stop lying about being centralist....because they aren't really......and to start being honest about their politics and represent their base.
I've said it for years, parties should represent their party members who work for them....not monied interests and 'focus groups'.
The real Labour party is far closer to the likes of Steely (said without malice) and Corbyn and at the moment it's found itself caught inbetween political worlds pleasing no one......and thus it's completely unsuited to governing.
Authenticity above half truths and lies.
Starmer represents the dishonesty stain hanging over the Labour party. They can't win anything while that remains.

Mandelson is a talented mind and in another time suited to being a diplomat.
However over his career he's been compromised several times and was a known quantity. It calls into question, once again, Starmer's judgement and also to my mind his own questionable and liberal attitude to sexual misconduct.
Leaving aside the scandalous Epstein connection, obviously I oppose most of what Mandelson stands for politically but...to me...his best role is in backroom political analysis and spin doctoring, which is where he initially broke through.
But with his reputation that has gone now...at least officially.
