The Prince of Sadness
We go deep on Mandelson, McSweeny, and Epstein, and talk about how really, at the end of the day, Starmerism is Epsteinism with extra steps. Also, Farage goes Starmer mode.

Mandelson was the one who was chasing adolescence as well as Kier
People are drinking less because Long COVID is rampant, and it suppresses desire for alcohol in general and beer in particular.
I'm sorry buddy but not everything is long covid
Given how much Mandelson is in the files. We need to know what did Epstein think of the dome.
Come to Adelaide this time you cucks
As an American who lives in America: I support Palestine Action
Is a thousand 9/11s 911,000, 9,110, or 818.18 recurring?
The last one I think.
OwO *notices your dolge*
Seeing as Mandelson seems partial to a magazine interview wondering if the New Yorker might be able to tempt him into a gentle tête-à-tête with Isaac Chotiner
I've invented a new type of nonce elector. Beep beep beep
Farage self-destructing and thus saving Labour from defeat would be an appropriately stupid development to this timeline.
Can't wait for mandelson to get a job at the tony Blair institute
Getting rid of child tax credits to save a nickel on a pint is mind-bogglingly stupid.
Its also really dumb because the pub tax stuff they could just do and it be a thing that's good for em
Alternative interpretation for Mandelson "in the room" for labour candidate selection: perhaps current labour strategists understand that many on-the-ground labour campaigners are disaffected by the deselection fuckery, may potentially drift to green, and so, via some briefing function, this moment provides a way to pin all that shit on one person? Just a thought.
Brother Kathy god damn Wynne hasn’t been premier of Ontario since like 2016
To be fair, I live in Ontario and I couldn't tell you who the leader of the Ontario Liberals is without looking it up.
This English council is brought to you by Roobet.
Excellent scene in the the Thick of It with Tucker, who is clearly Alastair Campbell going toe to toe with Julius Nicholson, the Mandelson clone. Ianucci told us what was up 20 years ago.
I mean as a certified Death of Stalin lover I personally just can't stop thinking "wait you knew EVERYTHING and disapproved and you just didn't say anything?" fuckin coward.
new theory: TOTAL CAMERON VICTORY, every prime minister after Sunak is actually David Cameron. We've had Cameron with TBI Characteristics, then we'll have Cameron with LGB Alliance characteristics, then Cameron with National Front characteristics
I feel like Cameron with LGBA characteristics would have been liz truss if she survived any of it.
I've heard a recent letter from Keir Starmer to the King contained these lines: Shell gathering wind Blows home a piece of darkness Frogs sing from thin ice What is planted in one life Bears its fruit in the next one
I'm assuming this episode was recorded just before this embarrassing nonsense dropped. What do we bet it's another McSweeney special? https://holdtheline.org.uk/
Kinks reference from Riley! Reputation as guy who only likes techno undermined.
I'm gonna be real if you were a Chomsky head after the Cambodia and Serbia shit you deserved to fall for it.
whoops, I missed that little Chomsky gem. The fact Kissinger was willing to prop up the Khmer is all the evidence of genocide one needs.
I wanna be YOUR SLEDGEHAMMER Won’t you call my name? Oh let me be YOUR SLEDGEHAMMER It’s my testimony
I'm normal making an appearance of GF and TF in the same week? Maybe it's true... jaq
and Peter Mandelson wept, for there were no more stairs left to butter
First Minuit’s Aotearoa on the Boney Island episode; now NZ’s Labour Party gets a mention at the end 😍 ITS A DOUBLE KIWI WEEK Ps: see you in Auckland some time, Milo?
This is what the sentence of transportation was for
when is Milo back we miss the lad
When the tour is over I imagine.
Never forget the foam fire extinguisher.
Hey you guys should consider having this guy called Milo Edwards on the pod sometime
He's got a lot on his plate
damn the epic Scottish guy from The Thick of It [Ianucci; 2005-2012] was actually Epsteining the whole time? insane
Malcolm tucker is Alistair Campbell, Julius Nicholson (the bald one) is mandelson
Great time to re-release the Mandelson episode if people need a vacation week
Anything to get some Milo back on the pod.
