"Amid warnings from Labour backbenchers that McSweeney’s survival would leave Starmer’s position “untenable”, Starmer apologised to victims of Jeffrey Epstein for appointing Mandelson, a close friend of the convicted child sex offender, as US ambassador."

This smells like the whole Boris Johnson/Dominic Cummings thing...

230,000 Deaths and the ‘Calculated Silence’ of the Medical Establishment About the COVID Inquiry

The Covid Inquiry Report is a devastating critique of the medical establishment which led the UK to the worst public health disaster in a century, argues Anthony Costello

#UK #covid enquiry finds 23k people in #England died needlessly and largely due a toxic and chaotic culture created by #BorisJohnson and #DominicCummings , no surprise as Johnson was useless, believed it was little more than a flu and was quoted as having said "let the bodies pile high". That position only changed when he found out it was his own supporters (older people) were dying off. I guess the #dailymail lent on him as they would have had no readers left.
Dominic Cummings ‘poisoned the atmosphere’ of Boris Johnson’s No 10, Covid inquiry finds

Report from inquiry’s second module also says Johnson as PM ‘at times actively encouraged’ chaotic culture

I remember screaming at the government about this on Twitter, as thousands died each week..
The smug fuck couldn't care, the dog which caught the car and now doesn't know what to do with it....real people died because of that fuck and the fucks around him

"There are currently two broad schools of thought around Reform. The first one is summed up by Dominic Cummings, who this week emerged to give a full interview explaining that he had absolutely no desire to return to politics, while observing that Farage will be prime minister if he builds the right team around him."

It is because of flawless assassination sentences such as these that we love and adore Marina Hyde.

The piece is only marginally about Mr Cummings, mainly about how the Reform party may just about manage to grab the majority vote of the UK's frustrated population, despite the party's manifest incompetence. Highly readable (as is everything by Marina Hyde).

Dear Britain, do you worry that Team Farage is just a hot mess in power? Or is everyone too angry to care

Footage of Reform councillors fighting is further proof that uselessness abounds, but that’s almost moot. To voters they are very useful idiots, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde
