“The truth about Morgan McSweeney is worse than you think”

by Ricky And Council Estate Media on Substack

“McSweeney has often been described as the protégé of Peter Mandelson and by some of Lord Alli. He founded Labour Together — the group whose primary goal appeared to be to end Corbyn as a political force. He and Mandelson arranged for Sir Keir Starmer to visit Palantir in a non-official meeting that we are not allowed to know the details of. Palantir CEO Peter Thiel was an Epstein associate, and so was, apparently, Lord Alli. I told you this went deeper than just Mandelson!”

This is pretty frightening stuff. I also bothered to take it through a fact check. The only error I could see was the only error that was picked up by my fact checker - that is, the author doesn't know their Tolkien well enough (the Palantiri did not belong to Sauron, he just happened to acquire one of them and use the net work of Palantiri for his evil purposes).

It's definitely worth a read.

The Palantir was also instrumental in his defeat. He trusted what he saw through it, but forgot that it didn't see everything. He saw a hobbit (Pippin) with Aragorn and assumed that he'd seen where the ring-bearer was.

Not sure if that is relevant for us.

And then they weren't....

That plan to establish another five Freeports.... err, seems like Labour are now saying that was never the plan & it was a 'cock up with the comms'.

So its just continuing with the current Freeports then, despite extensive evidence that they generate no new investment, just displace investment from other paces... in other words they are a scam to reduce corporations tax exposure & little else....

Reeves should have been winding them down...
