David Lammy finally posts about attending huge socialist rally – but says nothing about Soros Jnr

Why doesn’t our Deputy Prime Minister want us to know about his famous friends?!

Lammy with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, whose wife was recently charged with corruption

David Lammy has been very quiet indeed about his attendance at the Global Progressive Mobilisation summit in Spain.

At the time of writing, there’s still nothing on his X feed about this huge conference of socialist minds:

He has, at least, posted on Instagram, writing:

“Across borders and backgrounds, people came together with a shared purpose: standing up for democracy, justice, and peace in a world that needs it more than ever.

“Grateful to Pedro Sánchez for creating the space to come together.

“There’s real power in collective action, in choosing solidarity over division, and progress over complacency.”

This is the same Sánchez whose wife was recently charged with corruption after a two-year investigation.

As the BBC put it:

“Gómez is accused of using her relationship to advance her private career through a position at Madrid’s Complutense University. She is also accused of using public resources to advance private interests.

“She was charged with embezzlement, influence peddling, corruption in business dealings and misappropriation of funds, the ruling said. It is now up to the courts to decide whether she will stand trial.”

How’s that for “democracy” and “justice”?

Lammy posted five photos in total from the conference.

I just wonder why Alex Soros didn’t make the cut, as he himself was clearly keen to show off their meet up:

Never mind Amor Mottley, the Prime Minister of Barbados – who thinks that the UK owes $24tn in reparations.

Why doesn’t our Deputy Prime Minister want us to know about his famous friends?!
