Lammy calls Palantir-sponsored JD Vance a ‘friend’ on latest Washington trip
The Green Party need not spend any money campaigning for the local elections in May next month as David Lammy is seemingly doing its press for them.
Lammy in DC
Justice secretary Lammy posted a picture of himself in Washington — presumably to attend the Bilderberg conference with Palantir-sponsored US vice-president JD Vance — and called him a “friend”.
Shadow home secretary, Zoe Gardner, reposted Lammy’s gushing friendship declaration and asked: “Genuinely, who is going to vote for this in May?” We are thinking the same.
Genuinely, who is going to vote for this in May?
Who?
Why would you? https://t.co/ODdiLLyVSY

Lammy’s friends also include Peter Mandelson, a pal of the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s friend
Other reactions were similarly expressing disgust. Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, called the photo opportunity a “debasement.”
“My friend.”
This is how our government greets those accused of war crimes.
This is not diplomacy. It’s debasement. https://t.co/i4pR5JNAud

One user called them a pair of trashers: Vance for trashing the peace talks and Lammy for trashing jury trials.
What a pair of trashers!@JDVance just trashed peace talks @DavidLammy is intent on trashing jury trials
These men should be removed from power as soon as possible https://t.co/95QY8DLkdc

Bilderberg meeting
Declassified recently shared the list of participants of the 2026 annual Bilderberg meeting, which included Lammy.
According to Bilderberg’s press release, the 72nd Bilderberg Meeting took place from 9-12 April 2026 in Washington among a “diverse group of political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia, and media”.
This year’s invitee list included Palantir’s Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. NATO’s secretary general also confirmed his attendance.

Lammy has been a regular invitee to the secretive meeting.
In 2023, Matt Kennard reported that in 2022, Lammy was paid to attend the Bilderberg meeting through a consultancy headed by former MI6 head Sawers.

Never say social mobility in Britain is dead. David Lammy has gone from Tottenham boy to shameless elite apologist for genocide and imperialism in half a lifetime. https://t.co/W7xIO322Hy

Declassified’s Mark Curtis quipped: “Never say social mobility in Britain is dead. David Lammy has gone from Tottenham boy to shameless elite apologist for genocide and imperialism in half a lifetime.”
Tottenham set to go Green
Lammy has brushed off polling showing he would lose his seat to the Greens in the next general election, which will take no later than 15 August 2029.
Labour holds all MP seats across Haringey, which is represented by four MPs — Bambos Charalambous (Southgate), David Lammy (Tottenham), Tulip Siddiq (Highgate) and Catherine West (Hornsey).
#GE2029 projection for Tottenham:
Grn: 36% (+17)
Lab: 32% (-25) Green GAIN from Labour (21% swing)
Lammy is toast

He rubbished the prospect of the Greens taking his seat in a recent interview with Oli Dugmore.
I told David Lammy the Greens are forecast to win in Tottenham.
He said: “I can 100% tell you that there is no prospect of the Greens taking my constituency. Absolutely none at all.” pic.twitter.com/9PgAKq9A2h

However, will local elections give Labour a jolt?
It is to be seen how Haringey will vote in the local elections in May. Labour holds 50 out of the 57 seats in Haringey.
Will Haringey go Green in May? Will that make Lammy realise the knee deep shit he is in with friends like Vance and Mandelson?
We think Lammy’s photo ops with Vance, Netanyahu, Gideon Sa’ar (the list is endless) will come back to haunt him.
