  • "I'm afraid that holiday already will have folded."
    Peter Mandelson fears revealing that Labour’s campaign director Morgan McSweeney had booked a July holiday on the How To Win An Election podcast may have inadvertently prompted Rishi Sunak to call a snap election.
    He joins Daniel Finkelstein on The Story hosted by Manveen Rana as election anticipation reaches fever pitch.

      Mandelson has openly admitted to working tirelessly to sabotage Labour's electoral prospects between 2016 and 2019 - why hasn't he been kicked out of the party? People have been expelled for much less.

      I've heard he is fleeing to "safe America" due to him fulfilling his role for the WEF. WHO and UN treaties getting signed off start of July, Klaus Schwaub is standing down to be replaced by Tony Blair who wants Starmer in as PM so they can escalate Ukraine with Nato and Wishy Rishi doesnt want to be a wartime PM. Starmer will do what he's told by the WEF. Why would these millionaires go into politics if it isn't to further their own careers in the city backrooms of Blackrock, Rothchilds

Homelessness was eradicated and every state school child's education was match funded with the private sector. The Arts and culture sectors flourished. Thatcher's centralisation was reversed, meaning that power and decision making was put back into the regions.
