McSweeney’s think tank paid PR firm to investigate journalists
Labour Together put private investigators onto journalists writing about its funding. Starmer's right-hand man knew.

Yours truly on AI adoption, the media's existential crisis, epistemic injustice and erasure, AI-facilitated gender-based violence and devaluation of women's labour in the media.

"That is why #Labour is so comfortable competing with #ReformUKLtd and the Tories over bashing migrants. It is not because Starmerites are instinctively xenophobic or racist. Most are urban middle-class professionals who find such sentiments distasteful. But if forced to choose, they would rather indulge anger directed at migrants and refugees than anger aimed at bankers and CEOs." -- Owen Jones
He's correct. I hadn't seen this before, but it rings true.
🇨🇦 #McGill found $1 million to fight its own workers rather than bargain with them. Imagine what that $ could do for teaching, research, or student support.

This is a really good analysis of how #Labour became a right wing party.
I was aware of their courting of rich donors, but I'd missed the revolving door between Labour governments and the defence and private healthcare industries, and the point about Labour directing anger towards immigrants in order to divert it from the #kleptocrats I'd completely missed.

Oh wow, they're comparing this scandal to the Profumo Affair, it's that big!
(It's kinda like 'Watergate' size for UK Politics)

Voting systems, representation and Labour cowardice (and it was not the membership)
But then Labour nowadays only makes a poor pretence at listening to the party membership - funding is really sought from the rich and powerful.
While Mandelson and Andrew are important stories in the UK, I feel like most UK media are currently missing the big picture. Which is that the Epstein-Thiel-Bannon-Russia network, has been conspiring to destroy western democratic institutions. Andrew and Mandleson are disgusting cogs in that bigger machine. I've seen very few headlines mentioning Thiel directly over here.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/feb/04/palestine-action-activists-cleared-aggravated-burglary-israeli-defence-firm-elbit-systems-filton. Cleared! So much for being "violent"! So much for being "terrorists"! #Labour ministers should hang their heads in shame - or they ought to, if any of them possessed consciences!

None of this is surprising about Peter Mandelson, we've know for decades what a scheming, oligarch obsessed weasel that he is (with apologies to actual weasels, just minding their own woodland business)
This POS is right at the core of the Starmer Project, that failing enterprise we've all suffered under these past two years, the government always defers to the Rich, never the people who voted for them.
