"Scandal is an overused term but this really is one. It isn't only about Mandelson's sleazy dealings but an apparent Cabinet Office cover-up of his betrayal with the PM's knowledge. Removing a peerage won't be enough: this is the sort of thing that brings a government down. Difficult to overstate the gravity of the Mandelson affair.

"I might add that Peter Mandelson hasn't been found guilty of criminality either by a court of law or the judgment of his peers in a parliamentary standards investigation. Nazir Ahmed is a convicted paedophile and rapist. Mandelson obviously has a prima facie case to answer but if Starmer brings in an Act of Parliament to revoke Mandelson's peerage while leaving Ahmed's in place it falls short of the demands for justice and due process.

"The security vetting for Peter Mandelson must have been circumvented or else the report was ignored. It is just possible that the the process failed to highlight any concerns though that seems unlikely.

"The vetting process for Mandelson must be disclosed. If concerns were raised but discounted by the Prime Minister in order to expedite Mandelson's appointment as Ambassador to the US it raises questions as to what other national security concerns Keir Starmer is setting aside. The announcement of a police investigation into the Mandelson scandal is welcome. But it should not distract us from asking why Mandelson was ever appointed as ambassador in the first place.

"This was indeed interesting phrasing by Starmer. The verbiage was nowhere near as morally absolute (he lied and lied and lied again) as the day before. The reason I think is that in #PMQs Starmer thought he'd be able to control the process of disclosure. Now that a committee of MPs decides he is being more circumspect not least because Mandelson must know where an awful lot of bodies are buried (and how to bury a few more) and I rather suspect he'll be able to prove that he didn't actually lie. He isn't called the Prince of Darkness for nothing. Did the Prime Minister mislead the press"

".the flag cannot be owned by any one group or cause say these Bishops of the Church of England as they appropriate it for their cause of unity and inclusion. When St Paul wrote of the offence of the cross (Gal 5:11) he knew it was divisive because the gospel offends: the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness (1 Cor 1:18) and the symbol stands for something: Christus Victor which is divisive in a context of multi-faith pluralism. The Cross of St George is indeed rooted in our Christian heritage. It would be heartening if the Bishops might occasionally defend that robustly"

"It really doesn't help when people refer to aspects of Islam they don't like as Islamism or Islamist. Political Islam is just as much Islam as devotional Islam. Extremism may be manifest but it isn't terrorism which is Islamism. You can call fundamentalist Muslims Islamist but they would simply say they are devout. As we navigate a way forward through demographic change let us debate and deal straightforwardly with the more robust aspects of Islam as expounded and exhorted in British mosques and let us do so without shrouding it all in Islamism when our Muslims neighbours simply call it Islam"

"I'm inclined to think @SuellaBraverman is right about this. Even if @KemiBadenoch is herself sincere in the policy of ECHR abrogation I don't believe once in power the Tories would do it especially with a small majority. And even if her MPs were unified Tory peers would not be. Indeed I know quite a few who would rather lose the whip than contemplate leaving the Council of Europe *even if* it were a manifesto pledge to do so. They would view it all as a bit of unseemly positioning and necessary politicking to fend off Reform with (wink wink) no intention at all of ever doing it once they're"

"The imitation point is an interesting one. I know dozens of Muslims and have taught hundreds. I've never heard one say Happy Ramadan not least because it is a time of solemnity fasting and reflection. The celebration is Eid which is both a happy and blessed occasion. Happy Ramadan is a contrivance an emulation of Happy Christmas which ironically London's lights no longer proclaim. But it is as theologically oxymoronic and as spiritually incongruous as saying Happy Lent or Happy Passiontide. I wonder why they don't just go with the traditional Islamic greeting of Ramadan Mubarak. Sorry but"

"Less well known is the role music played in Margaret Thatcher's life both piano and organ. Public perceptions of her might have been rather different had she ever allowed herself to be filmed as PM playing a bit of G&S spontaneously. But she never let her hair down. Music played a significant role in the lives of the Gladstone family. W.E. Gladstones daughter Mary Drew wrote about the piano frequently in her diaries and there are also accounts of Gladstone finding great comfort listening to music at the end of his life. 1/3 https://t.co/Coq4PVBs8H Music played a significant role in the lives"

"A characteristically thoughtful intelligent and passionate contribution to this debate. The problem is that by decriminalising late abortion we define the beginning of (and the right to) life as synchronous with the first breath. This isn't only about the woman's reproductive rights but the baby's prenatal ascendancy over foetus status. It is interesting (to me) that Parliament is making this controversial amendment to abortion law just two years after introducing Baby Loss Certificates literally distinguishing a baby from a foetus by quantifying the grief of would-be parents.

"This is helpful on the Palestine Action result. Juries are quite good at discerning guilt or innocence because they are egalitarian. In my experience jurors aren't swayed by protests or geopolitics but by evidence testimony and cross examination. Collective deliberation works. My take on the Palestine Action result. It would be good if people on all sides would stop clutching their pearls/banging their chests. I start from the proposition that in my very considerable experience most juries are sensible people who try hard to get it right. 1/10 My take on the Palestine Action result. It would"

"I'm struggling to understand how Starmer ever became a barrister let alone DPP. His default setting should be interrogative scepticism not credence and trust. But with Mandelson despite a history of duplicity it's as though all judgment and discernment was suspended. Why Chortling at the 'I thought that Mandelson was an honest decent boy scout sort of a chap. I am shocked SHOCKED to find out that he turns out to be a bit dodgy' line.
