1,000 pages more on Mandy to be released today...

The BBC report mentions they are printed and bound.
How much did that cost UK tax payers?
The Establishment never changes. Spends our money like water.
Ministers braced as Mandelson document release will expose government working
The documents will offer a fascinating internal insight into how government works, including the way information flows and disagreements.

Another thing that annoys me is that this kind of stuff never gets done until mid-way through the afternoon.
Giving the impression that MP's and Civil Servants don't get any work done until after they've enjoyed a rather good lunch.
By lunch time I've been at work for six hours.
I know many MP's have their constituency work to do, and there are likely other reasons as well.
But our Leaders never seem to get anything done until well after midday. It's not a good look, or a good example to the rest of us.
I'd like to see some real differences after the next GE.
Not just policies and promises, but working practices.
MP's and Committees with their noses to the grindstone at 9am.
Working more like many normal folk, not lording it up over the plebs.

I don't often agree with Kemi Badenoch.
But I think she is right to appeal for the rage to be taken out of the aftermath of the murder of Henry Nowak.
His family has appealed for calm. They don't want to see riots and disorder happening in his name.
I understand Nigel Farage has said the British people should respond with pure cold rage.
Many people will regard that as very close to a call for violence.
It seems that Reform UK is increasingly being seen as not radical enough.
Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain is making ground on it. They are threatening to split the voting on the right and so make it easier for Andy Burnham to win the upcoming by-election.
Fragmented politics is certainly not dull.

I have responded with rage to Reform trashing the dignified words of the victim's father. This incident was a horrendous tragedy, I can't begin to imagine the feelings of the bereaved, and the party have doubled down on Farage's words.. Just let them grieve.
The Emperor of America is not having things entirely his own way...

Funds may have been given to Capitol Hill rioters. Already pardoned by the President.
I assume none would have been sent to the families of the six people who were killed in that riot.
Also, some Republicans are wondering whether Trump supporters winning Primaries before the mid-term elections is a good thing.
Time will tell - assuming of course that the elections are free and fair.
Something which was a given in the USA before 2020.
The end of Trump’s 'weaponization' fund is another sign Republicans are fighting back
The $1.8bn fund would have paid people the Trump administration decided were unjustly and politically targeted.

Or in Starmer's case with the rent boy court case, gag the media and bung relevant parties.
They are all at it, absolutely rife.
Nicola{or Nicholas} Sturgeon, ffs how can she/he come out with all that cobblers with a straight face. I know, it comes of being the liar you need to be to stand in politics.
With total respect and heartfelt sorrow for the family, I think they would have known it was inevitable what was to follow.
I agree. Henry Nowak's family knew their wishes would be ignored.
Their pain has now been weaponised by hate-mongers.
The Police officers involved, and one who was wrongly identified and had nothing to do with it, are now all targets for violence and death threats.
As is the whole British Sikh community.
Among the most generous, peace loving and dignified people living in our Country.

I thought the family are calling for a return to common sense Policing as opposed to favouring one ethnic group over another ?
Isn’t that what Farage basically said ?

Just watched BBC Question Time, the panel was five candidates for the upcoming Makerfield by election, is that the best Reform could come up with?

Can it get any worse for this family of spongers.
Absolutely taking the piss out of the British public and have done so for decades. The late queen is, I’m afraid, just as culpable. She knew what was going on but just kept quiet.
How can it be justified to do what they do ?
