Sources predict ‘toe-curling’ revelations as more than 1,000 pages of documents relating to his appointment as US ambassador to be published Mandelson files show no mitigation of security concerns Good morning. Many people despair at the quality of governance in Britain at the moment, but in one respect we are living through a golden age; if you are interested in contemporary history, and learning about what actually happens at the heart of government, then you can now – sometimes – access the sort of information never available before. Today the government is publishing a mass of information – apparently running to three volumes, and more than 1,000 pages – containing the private messages Peter Mandelson exchanged with government ministers and officials when he was ambassador to the US, and before his appointment. Last month a minister compared this to the evidence released as part of the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war. But the Chilcot inquiry took place in the era before WhatsApp, and it was publishing secret memos – intended for circulation within Whitehall. WhatsApp messages are a lot more personal; reading them is like being able to eavesdrop on a private conversation. Mandelson is a man with spiky, controversial views, who loves gossip and plotting, and whose private views don’t always accord with what he has said in public. It should be fascinating. I think the level of transparency is going to be unprecedented. The volume of information that’s going to be put out is unprecedented. It’s right we do that. We have been very clear that the appointment of Mandelson was wrong. Continue reading...

for 1 dag sidenValglokalene åpnet i Colombia
Første runde av presidentvalget er i gang i Colombia. Meningsmålingene har vist en klar ledelse til senatoren Ivan Cepeda, som i likhet med sittende president Gustavo Petro tilhører den politiske venstresiden. Hans fremste utfordrere er den konservative senatoren Paloma Valencia og advokaten Abelardo de la Espriella, som regnes som en ytrehøyre kandidat. Valgkampen har vært preget av den verste voldsbølgen i landet siden den venstreradikale geriljagruppen FARC la ned våpnene i 2016. Utbrytere fra FARC kjemper om kontrollen over kokainhandel og ulovlig gruvedrift i jungelområder sørøst i landet. Voldsbølgen regnes som et nederlag for forhandlingslinjen til president Petro. Han har forsøkt å overtale ulike geriljagrupper til å slutte seg til fredsavtalen fra 2016, uten større suksess. Cepeda, som var en av arkitektene bak FARC-avtalen, har lovet å fortsette forhandlingsforsøkene, mens de konservative kandidatene vil tilbake til strategien med å slå ned på geriljagruppene med makt. Hvis ingen av kandidatene sikrer seg over halvparten av stemmene i første runde, vil det bli en runde nummer to 21. juni.

Investigation found Botstein – who had claimed he wasn’t friends with Epstein – made 25 visits to his townhouse Leon Botstein has announced he is stepping down from the helm of Bard College, after an independent review of his contacts with Jeffrey Epstein found the college president’s frequent interactions with the convicted sex offender “could have alerted” him to the possibility that he and Bard would be facilitating Epstein’s abuse of women. An investigation by the WilmerHale law firm, which had been commissioned by Bard’s board of trustees earlier this year to review Botstein’s interactions with Epstein, found the Bard president – who had previously claimed he was not friends with Epstein – made about 25 visits to Epstein’s townhouse, a two-day visit to Epstein’s Little St James Island, and that there were two visits by Epstein to Bard. These visits, WilmerHale reported, included “multiple women” who have since been identified as victims of Epstein. Continue reading...
