The prime minister's claim that he, and he alone, was kept in the dark over the whole squalid saga is utterly preposterous." - Dan Hodges, Daily Mail, 7 February "Peter Mandelson is a gamble as ambassador -but exactly what we and Trump need... yes he has his faults, but he's bloody good and a class act." - Jon Sopel, Independent, 29 January 2025 "Keir Starmer had a choice in appointing Peter Mandelson... There were many people in the security services who said, 'whoa, are you sure about this?'... There are some pretty serious questions for Keir Starmer to answer." - Jon Sopel, News Agents, 2 February
Screenshot from piece: “Frith is right that autism research is at a crossroads. The spectrum model does need refinement. The genetic evidence does point toward meaningful subtypes. The diagnostic system does need to balance accessibility with precision. But the refinement should be additive, not subtractive. It should expand our understanding of autism's diversity, not contract it back to a 1980s archetype. And it should be undertaken with autistic people, not despite them.”

Plaque reading: NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING Since 1970, Native Americans have gathered at noon on Cole's Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims and other European settlers. To them, Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of their people, the theft of their lands, and the relentless assault on their culture. Participants in National Day of Mourning honor Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive today. It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection as well as a protest of the racism and oppression which Native Americans continue to experience. Erected by the Town of Plymouth on behalf of United American Indians of New England

Apostolic Creed: “I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.” The line, “… suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried”, is highlighted.
