Epstein’s “best pal” given security clearance that he didn’t qualify for, what could go wrong Way to go Starmer, big Trump energy

Starmer is a fool. He should have gone to Mandleson and told him that the security clearance failed and that Mandelson could either withdraw himself or the reason for the security clearance being denied would be made public. Instead, Starmer didn't want to look like a fool himself, so they tried to bury the problem and pretend nothing was wrong and it has come back around and bitten them all in the arse. If Starmer is that untrustworthy and dishonest, and frankly, f****** incapable of handling a problem such as this, how badly is he handling other stuff that has not yet been brought to light and scrutiny?

Starmer is one of the worst PMs in recent history. No wonder he is so unpopular.

Despite how bad Starmer is, he's actually one of the best in recent history. The bar for recent UK Prime Ministers is catastrophically low.

It's all so democratic, with a strong European flavor.
