"Starmer & his #allies have argued that #Robbins did not tell the [PM] about concerns raised in the #vetting #process as he should have. In giving #evidence to MPs, Robbins said that #Number10 took a 'dismissive' approach to the vetting process. He also said that he was under 'constant pressure' to approve Mandelson’s clearance due to this being a #political #priority for #Starmer. Mandelson’s #appointment was announced #publicly before the vetting took place."

Hier soir à #SeriesMania c’était masterclass de Steven Moffat et Sue Vertue. Steven Moffat est le scénariste de #Sherlock et #DoctorWho (entre autres) et sa femme est productrice. Échange très intéressant sur le processus créatif, la passion, la comédie vs le drame, le travail en couple…
Et teasing de se prochaine série politique #Number10 qui se déroulera derrière la porte du célèbre 10 Downing Street 🚪

@ChrisMayLA6 I assume that the #Starmtroopers calculated they had a binary choice between two packages of outcomes:

A/ hold the GM mayoralty, lose Gorton, block #Burnham's coup

B/ lose the GM mayoralty, hold Gorton, get defenestrated by #Burnham.

Not being keen on defenestration, they chose package A. So they have selected a corporate lobbyist as #GortonAndDenton candidate to be eaten alive, but they keep their jobs in #Number10 for a bit longer.

NEVER FORGET: That #KeirStarmer has said he would be "working night and day" - on several sociological or political issues!
-> That means, while you are reading this, sat on your arse, Supa-Star-Starmer is working hard at #Number10! :)
-> Or, was he lying?

Darren Fower Oct 7, 2025

In case you haven't ALREADY heard ....
=> #DavidLammyMP has a NEW nickname!
-> Insiders at #Number10 are calling him "Mastermind!" :)
=> He's presently the Deputy PM, Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor!
-> He previously spent 427 days as Foreign Secretary!
