    Apr 28 2026

    Starmer/Mandelson - Does the plot ever really change?
    Apr 21 2026

    Did Starmer deliberately mislead parliament? No. Did Starmer make a terrible misjudgement in appointing Mandelson with a casual detachment? Yes. This was the plot of the first episode of this dark saga. It is also the plot of the latest eruption in the long running series, with many episodes to come.
