"The Royals knew about Epstein's conviction in 2008, they knew Andrew kept seeing him afterwards. He remained a working Royal," says Lewis Goodall. "They contain, they delay, and they only act when the political pressure is unbearable" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

"We were talking to professionals, no one thought it was a fake," Emily Maitlis says, after Andrew photo was confirmed genuine. "In denying that the photograph was real, they were rubbishing her. They were rubbishing the victim" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/emil...

"These women are being put through hell one more time. The rich, always powerful, men have more access to justice than the victims." Why Virginia Giuffre would be "moved, but very angry" by latest reveals from the Epstein Files www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/virg...

"There are 3 million files, and I have no doubt people are raking through every allegation – and some are almost unreadable, because they are vile," says Emily Maitlis. Why is the media so slow to report on Trump claims made in the Epstein Files? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

“There is an army of women behind Starmer who want him to succeed, but also hold him to account”. The prime minister still has the backing of women in his party, says Labour MP Natalie Fleet, despite an internal crisis in regard to safeguarding women and girls.

“Kemi Badenoch is using victims of grooming as a human shield to throw rocks”. Natalie Fleet questions Badenoch’s recent interest on the issue of women’s safety when it comes to Starmer, pointing to her time as women’s minister: “She didn’t care about grooming”.

"It's the same with grooming gangs. It's the same with Epstein," Labour MP Natalie Fleet tells Lewis Goodall. "People know, and when it suits them, they're outraged... Kemi Badenoch is a woman who had power and she didn't use it to support victims" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/labo...

"Epstein victims and Al-Fayed victims are watching what we do - they're not listening to what we say." MP Natalie Fleet says it’s time to talk about the victims of sexual abuse with the same passion we’re talking about how bad the government is. @lewisgoodall.com

"I was trying to work out whether I was shocked by this or not," says Emily Maitlis. "Part of me wasn't. This sort of language has normalised language for Reform-leaning billionaires who are looking to Nigel Farage to reshape the country" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

"I have a hunch more Brits would say they prefer people, immigrants or not, who pay their taxes, rather than billionaires who bugger off to Monaco and don’t," says Emily Maitlis. Jim Ratcliffe, she adds, is "out of his depth" with his 'colonisation' claims www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

"This feeds into the far-right trope that migrants in the UK are imposing their culture and language on us," says @lewisgoodall.com. Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and now Manchester Utd co-owner Jim Ratcliffe – has extreme language about migrants become 'normalised' in the UK?

"People have felt for a long time that the system is rigged, that the rich and powerful have a different set of rules." Doug Sosnik on 'The Epstein class', a system controlled by and for the rich, at the expense of everyone else. @maitlis.bsky.social

"People have felt for a long time that the system is rigged, the rich and powerful have a different set of rules," Bill Clinton's former political director tells The News Agents. "The Epstein Files reinforce a preconceived notion people already had" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

“There's a tendency of successful politicians to have what I call the ‘no-shame gene’.” “Trump has it. Bannon certainly does” But what about Bill Clinton?… Doug Sosnik, former political director to President Bill Clinton, speaks to @maitlis.bsky.social…

"People have felt for a long time that the system is rigged, that the rich and powerful have a different set of rules," Bill Clinton's former political director says. Now more is being exposed about 'the Epstein class', is this thinking validated? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

"When the PM says: 'I was mislead' - it's the same litany of excuses. "It makes him start to look like a fool." Starmer's former communications chief, Matthew Doyle, has been suspended over links to a convicted sex offender. Why does Starmer keep making the same mistake?

"The Royal Family has ushered William away from one Epstein scandal, and unwittingly, they've pushed him towards another" @maitlis.bsky.social calls it "mind boggling" that Prince William fled the Epstein scandal at home, only to visit Mohammed bin Salman - who features in the Epstein files

When Emily Maitlis interviewed Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in 2019, she had a photo of him and Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre on her lap. The reason? The palace had asked her to prove the image was a fake before she sat down in Buckingham Palace www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

"The Royal Family has tried to usher William away from one Epstein scandal, and unwittingly, they've pushed him towards another," says Emily Maitlis. Has a "mind boggling" mistake been made in sending the heir to the throne to Saudi Arabia? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

"I'm not sure that cabinet is big enough for both Starmer and Streeting." Wes Streeting is accused of "open plotting" after publishing his texts with Peter Mandelson - seen by critics as saving himself at the expense of party loyalty. @maitlis.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com

It probably seemed like a good idea at the time, sending Prince William to Saudi Arabia while Epstein pressure mounts on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. But does it help to be spending time with another man named multiple times in the Epstein Files? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

"Our Parliament should get some backbone and for once, talk openly about the Royal Family - and ask the questions that ought to be asked." @lewisgoodall.com says it's time for a cross-party parliamentary inquiry into what the Royals knew about Andrew's Epstein links.

"Donald Trump is not a big fan of foreigners, we know that by now." @maitlis.bsky.social and @lewisgoodall.com react to Trump calling Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance - sung entirely in Spanish - "an affront to the greatness of America".

"The King is trying to deal with Andrew now, because he's got no choice," says Lewis Goodall "It's taboo to discuss the late Queen's role in all of this, but I think she's got a lot to answer for, and there should be a reappraisal of her latter years" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

"There are lots of MPs who are 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧𝘧 with Starmer, deeply frustrated by the performance of his government - and who also think this is 𝘯𝘰𝘵 the issue over which he should resign." Will Keir Starmer survive the week? @maitlis.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com

"We were talking to professionals, no one thought it was a fake," says Emily Maitlis, as Andrew photo is seemingly confirmed genuine. "In denying that the photograph was real, they were rubbishing her. They were rubbishing the victim" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/emil...

"The figure was Andrew. The photo was real. Maxwell knew it, but let those in power deny it." "By denying it, she denied the story Virginia Giuffre tried to tell us." @maitlis.bsky.social on the story behind 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 photo & why what was so obvious at the time now appears to be confirmed.

"Starmer didn't pick Mandelson in spite of his Epstein connections… He picked him because of them." Would he have made the same choice if Kamala Harris had won? "Absolutely not", says @lewisgoodall.com.

"None of the excuses are good enough now," says Emily Maitlis. "It does, at this point, land at Starmer's door to explain why any of that was seen as okay this time last year." What did Labour know about Mandelson when he took a top job in 2025? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/star...

"They called him 'pincher by name' - it's a case in point. "People take it on board, laugh about it and still appoint them." Keir Starmer’s appointment of Peter Mandelson is giving "Chris Pincher vibes". Does it now have the potential to become a political crisis for him?

"If you knew the man you were about to appoint had a relationship with a convicted paedophile, why wasn't that ringing alarm bells?" Emily Maitlis asks. "If it wasn't, the only reason is because you weren't taking those crimes seriously enough" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/star...

"It shows, frankly, how 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 Trump has become - and how low standards in American public life have sunk." Watch the moment Donald Trump snaps at a female reporter who dared ask him a question about Epstein victims… @maitlis.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com

"The Department of Justice thinks its job is done. It's not pursuing people in this," says Emily Maitlis "It's saying, 'well, we said we'd release the files. There you go.' Hands off" Will there be prosecutions for people named in the Epstein Files? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/plea...

"A lot of media organisations will be reluctant to air Trump accusations - partly because they’re pretty unverifiable, partly because he's highly litigious." Why aren't more people talking about the 38,000 mentions of Trump in the Epstein files?

"There are 3 million different files, and I have no doubt people are raking through every allegation – and some are almost unreadable, because they are vile," says Emily Maitlis. Why is the media so slow to report on Trump claims made in the Epstein Files? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

"If it was an ordinary business we'd call it insider trading - but it's a government, and so it actually starts to look more akin to treason." Was Mandelson "working against the best interests of his country" as leaked gov secrets come to light? @maitlis.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com

"This might vindicate the very worst fears that people have about global elites," says Lewis Goodall "It feels like massive cover-up, and you can understand how people get to a conspiratorial mindset. "It doesn't feel conspiratorial at that point" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/plea...

"Keir Starmer had a choice in appointing Peter Mandelson as our ambassador to Washington," says Jon Sopel, after new Epstein files revelations. "There are some pretty serious questions for Keir Starmer and Morgan McSweeney to answer" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/pete...

"There were plenty of people around Starmer saying: 'We know about Mandelson's relationship to Epstein - it's a bad idea." Starmer has called for Mandelson to be stripped of his peerage, but why did he appoint him as US ambassador to begin with?

"Peter Mandelson has a lot of explaining to do – what we’ve heard so far doesn’t cut it." "He wanted a rehabilitation into public life, but those hopes are in absolute tatters." Do the latest Epstein files details spell game over for the Labour Lord? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/pete...

"There is a sense of impunity." "Accepting money from a paedophile billionaire, staying in a convicted paedophile's flat - 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘧." As Peter Mandelson appears again in the Epstein files @maitlis.bsky.social asks: When does impunity stop and accountability begin?

MAGA claims Alex Pretti, shot dead by ICE agents in Minneapolis, was intent on committing a "massacre" against law enforcement. Social media video from the scene, witness accounts and testimony from local law enforcement tells a very different story www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/unpa...

"People have their eyes and ears via so many mobile phones which is making it impossible for the administration to lie in the way that they are used to doing," says Emily Maitlis. Can MAGA recover from its handling of the Minneapolis ICE killings? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/minn...

Donald Trump has always claimed he won Georgia in the 2020 election - which he lost. The FBI has now seized the ballots, and commissioner Mo Ivory says she has "no confidence" they won't be tampered with so Trump finally gets the result he wants www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/trum...
