| Mandelson's £75,000 Payoff 15:49 - Mar 11 with 484 views | JACKMANANDBOY | So for gross misconduct, lying through your teeth when applying for a top diplomatic position you get £75,000. It's been a while, but I've sacked a few people for lying on their job application form from jobs relying on being trustworthy. Paying people for gross misconduct was never even considered. One rule for them, one rule for us. [Post edited 11 Mar 15:50]

These Leaders , Politicians and Diplomants on freebies jetting around the World at the tax payers expenses really grind my gears , frauds the lot of them . Mandy is now coming across as a creepy figure in political circles , even The Met tried to take his passport off him in case he done a runner abroad , it was handed back though . Probabiy Fergie and Andrew will keep a low profile in the coming weeks of speculation . |  | |  |

We know about Tory wrong-doing but the sleaze seems to affect New Labour as well. In particular the enrichment of a legal establishment that is closely entangled with senior Labour figures going back to Cherie Blair etc seems to me a real cause for concern that is still leading to problems (think Starmer, Hermer, Sands and several others in the Society of Labour Lawyers). |  | |  |

It was Keir Starmer’s main election pledge and selling point to bring standards back to public office and end kickbacks for colleagues, VIP fast lanes and revolving doors of government ministers it’s hard to not come to the conclusion he has completely and utterly failed. Corruption minister convicted of corruption. Housing secretary outed for fiddling stamp duty. Homelessness minister resigned after making her own tenants homeless for her own financial gain. Undeclared freebies from party donor who also coincidentally had a free pass to Downing Street. The appointment and subsequent resignation of a US ambassador who proudly goes by the moniker “the prince of darkness” despite having been constantly and relentlessly sacked and embroiled in corruption and lies for the best part of three decades. A foreign secretary who doesn’t know which countries are in NATO or not. These are all people Starmer described as being “the grown ups back in the room”. They have lurched from scandal to crisis to scandal back to crisis again. Every week for this Prime Minister is the worst week since the last one. It’s not going very well is it? |  |

| Mandelson's £75,000 Payoff on 02:35 - Mar 14 with 67 views | Robbie | He has got Milliband who hates oil as Energy Secretary , just why that appointment . Shabana Mahmood the Home Secretary is giving illegal immigrants on their dinghies and adding , please go away here is £ 40k of tax payers money and do not come back . As context my son is on a mortgage scheme which I help him out on repayments otherwise it could go into the black , and he pays his taxes too . 40 grand at this moment would be a life changer for him . |  | |  |
