The FT revealed two years ago that Mandelson stayed at Epstein's house whilst Mandelson was Deputy Prime Minister and Epstein was in prison for child trafficing. So why are we now surprised? www.ft.com/content/0723...

Just sent out this free post. Russia attacked Poland last night--and the NATO response indicates institutional and national failure. They were clearly not prepared, cannot even call the Russian attack an attack, and do not understand their real security concerns. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

'The back-and-forth gave the distinct impression, not for the first time, that in the relationship between Trump and Putin, it is the Russian president who calls the shots.' Trump gets tough with Putin - by asking how much of Ukraine he wants. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The Far Right were out in Manchester last night: angry, white, predominantly male and unapologeticly racist. There were no 'concerned parents' here, just fascists. I joined Stand Up To Racism to see them off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXfd...

Great news: the High Court has granted permission for a full judicial review of the government's order proscribing Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act. Let's hope he government's idiotic and draconian order is overturned.

Extremists, right-wing influencers and GOP lawmakers spent the days after the tragic Texas floods pushing conspiracies about "weather weapons." On Sunday, a weather radar system was vandalized and one extremist group is taking credit with @mollytaft.com www.wired.com/story/texas-...
