The Mandelson scandal exposes Labour’s flaming hypocrisy

Why did a party so assured of its own saintliness keep on resurrecting the scandal-prone ‘Prince of Darkness’? Spiked 03/02/25 To misquote Jeffrey Epstein, ‘Bad Petey’. We already knew from previous releases of the Epstein Files that Peter Mandelson was overly chummy with the world’s most notorious nonce. We’d seen the photos of Mandy in various Ken-like outfits chatting with his ‘best pal’. We’d read his birthday wishes to the dodgy financier who just loved to share his ‘glorious homes… with his friends (yum yum)’. And we knew that he’d urged Epstein to ‘fight for early release’ after his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. But now we know just how corrupt their relationship was, thanks to the latest dump from the Epstein files. First, we discovered that during the 2000s, Mandelson allegedly received three separate donations of $25,000 from Epstein, plus an extra £10,000 for Mandelson’s future husband, Reinaldo Avila da Silva, to...

King in the North

Is Andy Burnham a power player? Or just playing at power? lowcstaus opinions blog 03/02/26 British politics is in a constant state of flux. Parties built on the backs of working men transition, seemingly overnight, into ideological playgrounds for an out of touch, gentrified, gender bending elite. Yesterday’s military heroes are hounded through the courts by a government which states that today its ‘highest priority’, is servicing the needs of foreign activists, who encourage their followers to kill white people, police officers, and Jews. Weirdo insurgent parties run by gap toothed boob boosters and economically illiterate communists swoop in from nowhere, to gobble up millions of votes. And the once dependable Conservative Party, burns through useless, clueless Prime Ministers, faster than Bonnie Blue burns through paramours. It’s an ever shifting political landscape, dynamic, distracting, dizzying, and discombobulating. But however confusing things get, there is one rock,...

‘Demonic and inhuman’ migrant hotel murderer jailed for life

Rhiannon Skye Whyte’s family say Deng Chol Majek ‘celebrated’ after the killing and ‘might as well have danced on her grave’ Daily Telegraph 30/01/26 An asylum seeker who murdered a migrant hotel worker with a screwdriver is “demonic and inhuman”, a court has heard. Rhiannon Skye Whyte, 27, was killed by Deng Chol Majek on Oct 20 2024 in a “vicious and frenzied” attack at a deserted train platform in Walsall, West Midlands. Ms Whyte had been working at the Park Inn hotel, where Majek was being housed, when he followed her to the station after she finished her shift and stabbed her 23 times with a screwdriver. On Friday, at Coventry Crown Court, Majek was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 29 years. Mr Justice Soole previously adjourned sentencing Majek in October amid doubts about the Sudanese migrant’s claim that he was 19 years old. The killer, who is believed to have entered Britain by small boat less than three months before the murder, is known to have give...

Starmer risks becoming another Westerner who has swallowed yesterday’s story of China

The Prime Minister should not be misguided – Beijing is already in economic decline Daily Telegraph 30/01/26 Sir Keir Starmer is late to the Chinese economic miracle. Hyper-growth was already on borrowed time as far back as 2010, undermined by debt saturation and the insidious long-tail effects of the global financial crisis. China’s share of world GDP has fallen for the last four years at market exchange rates. Capital Economics expects it to fall again this year, touching lows seen almost a decade ago. China’s output has already fallen back from three quarters to two thirds of US levels. It will not surpass the US over the next half century – assuming that Congress and the American people act in time to halt the dangerous buffoonery and predatory wag-the-dog wars of Donald Trump. Talk of a superpower sorpasso is now just a relic of past hubris. Britain’s Prime Minister should by all means be visiting Beijing to build a “more sophisticated relationship”. The UK and China are on...
