14 years of Tory rule put great pressure on prisons leading to a huge backlog in cases.

27 April this year (Sky, BBC)"Why is it taking so long?" "There have been long delays in trials for years in the UK, particularly in England and Wales. As of late 2025, the criminal court system is facing a record backlog, with some serious criminal cases listed for trial in 2029 or 2030, meaning victims and suspects can wait years for justice."

Exactly Ivonne.  And Starmer holds the highest office of state to start the process off.  If he wants to that is.  What does Mandelson know about him that Starmer is trying to keep buried I wonder?Btw does anyone know when the 3 young Ukrainian men who tried to set fire to Starmer’s properties and car in May 2025, will next be on trial?  Why is it taking so long?

Hello Sue,If only it were that easy!  Sadly, revoking Mandelson's peerage (or any peer for that matter) requires an Act of Parliament.....

clearly they have enough evidence.  It’s the business dealings of  Mandelson and Andrew which is politically appalling.  Starmer must have known, he was told by his own vetting about Mandelson but still appointed him.Sorry isn’ enough.Watch them all try and bury this with who knew what and when.

Snap Robert Wheeler - just saw your post in the long thread.  Now let’s see if Starmer gets a wiggle on and revokes his peerage.  No more prevarication!
