I haven’t disputed that Starmer was an idiot for involving himself with Mandelson. I thought it was a stupid decision at the time, but this doesn’t mean he or every more centre Labour person who interacted with him knew the specifics. Not like that exonerates Starmer for poor decisions.
It’s not a case of evil centrists compared to morally pure leftists. Epstein had people of all persuasions bullied. It has seemingly been Gordon Brown who has been open in detailing what he knows about Mandelson, even if he might have a personal motive for this.
