"At least 16 files from Epstein release disappeared from the DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation." EXPLANATION: The DOJ is engaging in a sloppy, ham-fisted coverup to protect rich pedophiles. That's why the files went missing.

Reform UK councillor slapped with a £40,000 fine for hiring an illegal worker. 🤔 So much for "taking back control", apparently the rule is: deport them… but only after we’ve squeezed some cheap labour out of them. A masterclass in hypocrisy!

Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week. Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards. If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.

It’s high time that the Secretary of State model is abolished, I can’t remember the last time the role was carried out as it should (Wales voice in the cabinet). Instead it’s always the UKGov’s voice in Wales, often enforcing political shithousery on Wales. Scrap it.

The argument that Farage ally Nathan Gill was just a lone agent working for the Russian state has been completely discredited. Three more UK MEPs in Nigel Farage's bloc are now alleged to have "followed the script" given Gill by an alleged Russian asset. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.
