Trump to go easy on embattled Starmer during state visit
Speaking on Monday, Sir Keir said that he felt “angry” and “let down” by Lord Mandelson, insisting he would not have made the appointment had he known what he knows now.
He said: “I am angry. I don’t particularly think anger helps here, but I feel let down. I feel that the process was gone through and now information has come to light, which, had I known it at the time, I wouldn’t have appointed him.

We can't call it revealing because we already know, but when Starmer says I feel that the process was gone through, it suggests yet again that this is all that matters to him, all he can see. He's process-driven.
In which case, we may as well assume that Mandelson's record of two resignations for politically problematic behaviour wasn't part of the process - so on planet Starmer it didn't happen.
It's quite difficult to understand the man without an underlying assumption that there is something weird about planet Starmer. Apart from Sir Keir Starmer, it seems to be uninhabited.
But we knew that.

All boxes were ticked therefore nothing can go wrong.... but it now appears that mere box ticking is not sufficient to validate the outcome and Two Tier doesn't have any skills to operate outside the approved boxes. He's toast. Not necessarily this week or even this year but he's toast. Artisan, non-GMO, organic, but still toast.
DJ - yes, he seems to have enormous faith in ticked boxes, none at all in human input outside the boxes. As if a legal career attracted him for a similar reason, everything must be right or wrong and ticked boxes are right because their rightness has already been decided. Weirdly narrow, but he does seem to be that way.
