📜🤔When rules are for everyone else, and “mistakes” are just elite shorthand for “oops, got caught again,” the political theatre writes itself. The latest eyebrow-raiser? Keir Starmer allegedly sidestepping the ministerial code after a conveniently undeclared meeting tied to associates of Peter Mandelson. Transparency, it seems, is still very much optional at the top table.

🎭 The “Honest Mistake” Masterclass

Ah yes, the classic defence: “I made a mistake.” Not once. Not twice. But with the kind of frequency that starts to look less like human error and more like a lifestyle choice.

Because let’s be honest—this isn’t about a missing calendar entry. This is about a system where the rulebook is treated like a restaurant menu: glanced at briefly, ignored entirely, and only referenced when the bill arrives. 🍽️

Starmer, surrounded by advisers, experts, strategists, and probably someone whose sole job is to whisper “maybe don’t do that,” still manages to trip over the same ethical shoelaces. At some point, you have to wonder: is it oversight… or just selective hearing?

Meanwhile, the public is treated to the usual moral sermon about accountability, integrity, and “restoring trust in politics.” All delivered with the straight-faced confidence of someone hoping you won’t check the footnotes. Spoiler: the footnotes are on fire. 🔥

And let’s not pretend this is unique to one party. Westminster has long operated on a delightful bipartisan agreement: rules are sacred—right up until they become inconvenient. Then they’re more like… guidelines. Flexible. Interpretive. Optional, even.

So here’s the real question: how many “mistakes” does it take before we stop calling them accidents and start calling them habits? 🤨
Are we witnessing incompetence, arrogance, or just the natural evolution of political immunity?
