The BBC is worried that its’ chief fan – the Prime Minister – will have to resign – and in the worst case for the BBC – having to report on a coming General Election . So it will do all it can to deflect the story – to say ‘it’s not the time to change PMs ‘ – which was the Friday message -and do all it can to save it’s favourite political party and patron … cake gate it ain’t ….

Nice one …
… and Mandy never came across his desk. Oooh er!
Where has truth gone? I never believed Tony Blair when plenty of others did; except ironically over weapons of mass destruction.
I used to believe doctors, well I did until after I had my third Covid jab. Now, I am extremely cautious over anything a doctor says. I now understand better the difference between real risk and relative risk. I had the asthma nurse telling me she was changing my inhalers because ‘some people don’t use their inhalers properly’, when it was actually because of climate change.
I haven’t believed the BBC for years. 30 years ago the BBC panorama programme was splicing film, but more recently we have had Israelis accused of bombing hospitals when actually a home made Hamas rocket hit a car park. We have had Jeremy Bowen lying in a ditch, pretending he was under heavy fire when some were wandering around in the background. Then of course, the BBC couldn’t resist changing a Trump speech.
And now we come to the man who let another man buy his spectacles. We are to believe that the Jimmy Savile’s case ‘never passed his desk’. We are to believe Morgan Sweeney’s phone was stolen. We are to believe that a journalist last autumn had heard that Mandelson had failed the vetting and asked the government about it and yet Starmer hadn’t heard. We are also to believe that Olly Robins took the decision having newly arrived in post, to suppress the advice that Mandelson had failed the vetting even though Mandelson was already in post.
I have a feeling that I am not going to believe the man who didn’t pay for his own spectacles, whatever he says on Monday, even if he says the words, ‘I resign’.
Indeed Deborah, it’s hard to feel comfortable in this era of lies and half-truths. We didn’t know how fortunate we were before the Blair years. Not that there weren’t deceptions then but there were still some functioning boundaries to it.
We’ve been robbed of things we didn’t even know could be stolen. Normality itself is being erased before our eyes.
Brilliant post, Debs; it shows that there are so many people of the far-left, who are under instructions to lie through their teeth to keep this disgusting Labour/marxist ‘admin’ in power.
I’ll never trust the bBC to tell the truth; they lie by omission, have dubious ‘reports’, fed to them by sinister organisations, and at long last, the real investigations by the real journalists are gaining traction. It’s taken a long time.
The shenanigans of McSweeney’s phone, Mandy’s disgrace, Ollie ‘whatsisname’, and all the slime in Whitehall is now consuming this disgraceful ‘government’, and the real investigations are in full flow.
Bring it on, because a GE is the only way for these sleazy, unpleasant, cheating charlatans to escape and try to scrabble around for obscurity. And the sooner, the better.
Apparently Two Truths Kier landed at Glasgow to avoid the press from his virtual conference with Micron. Maybe he will be sneaked home at three in the morning with a burqa on.
Has TTK lost his phone yet?
Ollie Robins must also be about to lose his phone (or have it stolen) as well.
It will also be a pity because they will both somehow not be backed up.
I hate to disappoint everyone but Starmer’s here to stay.
There is no replacement PM in the Labour ranks. A vote of no confidence will not carry, Labour has a huge majority and turkeys don’t vote for. Christmas. Starmer has, as always, made sure there’s enough doubt to ensure nothing can be pinned on him anyway.
How about this for a conspiracy theory? Starmer knew Mandelson’s getting would fail. He made sure that everyone involved in the process knew Mandelson must be appointed without fail. As Starmer knew the vetting would fail he made sure he would be told nothing about the it thus he would not be aware of it.
