Keir Starmer is under pressure to resign for appointing a friend of Epstein's as US ambassador. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was just outed as a friend and business partner of post-conviction Epstein and it's barely a headline.

BBC News presenter asking Chris Mason whether McSweeney going means the heat is off Keir Starmer and Mason gave a waffling answer which ended with ‘I think the key question now is whether or not McSweeney’s departure means the heat is now off Starmer’

Your daughter deserves better - we all do.

The last prime minister to do a full term with a single party in power was Tony Blair.

Oh, to live in a world where the opposite of this was true.

Lib Dems have tolerated Rennard for years, just as they did Mike Hancock.

Yeah

Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to… nation.cymru/news/the-new...

Perhaps this lack of awareness over the fact that Labour are investing in growth, jobs & living standards says something about our media & how it’s in the pocket off those who are agitating for a Conservative / Reform government

Those are the hardest working scare quotes in the business. What is the goddamn bar for calling something racist without qualification if monkey videos don’t make the cut?

Perhaps Trump wanted to remind people that he’s a racist so they’d stop talking about him being a rapist.

I would love to know what the "Kamala would be just as bad..." clowns make of this.

A reminder that a free and democratic Ukraine is still fighting for survival day and night and that’s still the most important story in Britain - and anywhere else in Europe.

Not in the Epstein Files.

Yesterday, an LBC presenter, allegedly said that, Keir Starmer should apologise for the 2008 global financial crash. He made a grave mistake in appointing Mandelson, but Jesus Wept...

I should compile a collection of these: Labour MPs not understanding democracy “For the first time since 1945, a party with an openly socialist policy has received the support of over eight and a half million people. This is a remarkable development.” Tony Benn, on the 1983 election

I understand Labour's political opponents acting as if it was Starmer himself who had maintained a friendship with Epstein, but not Labour MPs and members.

Imagine if the black president said this:

This must be what Justin Webb meant by Trump making America "normal" again.

Just seen the BBC news giving Farage his say on Starmer/Mandelson situation. There was a piece on the BBC website today about Reform unveiling their new leader in Wales, without even mentioning, why they need a new one. BBC now just a PR outfit for the Reform Party.

Kind of fascinating how China hawks and the UK Right seems unable to process that if it is to his advantage Trump will sell them out over and over again without blinking

Thank goodness Badenoch, Farage or Polanski aren't Prime Minister.

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister. Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

Starmer’s decision to appoint Mandelson was a bad one. He’s paying a price for that now. But where was the outrage at the time?

This might be the funniest thing all week 😂 GBNEWS poll goes rogue and suddenly these two thickos double-checking reality. “Have we got that the right way round?” Afraid so 😆 #UKMedia

Today must be Chris Mason's happiest day since his gerbil won third prize at the Grassington Show in 1992.

The question that people who believe the PM should go need to ask themselves is whether they've simply got used to having a new PM every year or so - because I detect a strain of that in our media. Boris had seriously-questionable associations (e.g., Lebedev). Our media chuckled.

So, the party that chose Boris Johnson as it's Leader are now paragons of a decent and respectful UK?

Weird and almost universal revisionism today. Even at the time, it was pretty clear that Mandelson wasn't appointed *despite* his dodgy links but *because* of them. Trump's Washington is a dirty swamp. Mandelson was deemed a man able to swim in it. This wasn't a secret. Everybody said it out loud.

„Epstein ran an enormous pedophile racket for 3 decades for the very rich & powerful. 1,000 victims are recorded. This involved rape & more. No single American has been charged. The US would benefit from having some rule of law also for its pedophile elite.“ Anders Aslund

I tend to avoid bombastic national pride but the British right to walk randomly into the road at any juncture is genuinely one of our greatest traditions and these yank tech companies can sod off.

Although there will of course be commentary on the political fallout of the Epstein files, as that will likely be consequential, the number one focus and priority must be absolutely clear: the industrial scale abuse of women and girls by powerful, rich men.

Not buying Tory pearl-clutching over National security concerns. Not a peep from these people when their Foreign Secretary gave his security detail the slip to spend the weekend partying with the son of a KGB Officer.

Tory MP in the Commons currently blabbering on about the Millennium Dome and Mandelson's Grandfather.

Today, the Government announced the new National Cancer Plan. Watch the video below to find out what it means for Coventry East

On World Cancer Day I give thanks that this POS isn't still Prime Minister.

Obviously a huge error to appoint Mandelson. To the Tories gunning for Starmer, I'll just say, by this stage Boris Johnson's Govt would still be defending their man and claiming any criticism was politically motivated.

We're pushing hundreds of thousands of kids back into poverty so a bloke drinking 20 pints a week can save a quid

We all know Mandelson was a groupie for the mega rich. It's not news. You'd think nothing else was in the Epstein files when, in reality, they uncover outrageous sexual and political acts.

Let’s clarify this. Steven Bannon takes Epstein‘s money to fund far right activities in Europe which Nigel Farage attends & benefits from but the UK media have decided that this isn’t worth mentioning or investigating.

Zack Polanski's mad plan to ditch a >70 year military alliance for a defence pact with Brazil, whose army is full of fash and whose current president has Putin on speed dial ... htsf.substack.com/p/leave-nato...

Nigel Farage was mentioned 43 times in the Epstein files. But you don’t see any of the ‘political’ journalists mention this do you? Instead it’s the usual diatribes against Starmer. These people are an embarrassment

Andrew should testify before US Congress over links to Epstein, says Starmer The former prince should share information in ‘whatever form’ he is asked, PM says www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Genuinely, she requires some kind of mental health intervention. She is very clearly unwell. It is terrifying to remember someone with a mind this susceptible to extremist conspiracism was in charge of the UK's defence and security - if only for a few weeks.

These people will never, ever be happy. Never. They will drag us and drag us until there's nothing left: of our friendships, our prosperity, our independence of the US, our trade and security deals, of the Union.

Total nightmare for Nigel Farage. He's spent years desperately trying to distance himself and his various parties from this far-right crim - and now look what's happened.

Tommy Robinson posted "vote for Matt" - endorsing Matthew Goodwin, the Reform candidate in Denton and Gorton. In 2018, Farage left UKIP due to the party's association with Tommy Robinson, also saying that this might work for an 'online figure' but could not work in party politics at all.
