Is the war you’re winning in the room with us now, dear?

THIS….

Fine as long as you’re also checking in on the women who experience the intimidatory and predatory behaviour by the Wallaces of this world. They also have a very tough time no?

In an occasional series on unfortunate calendar clashes, the uk wife carrying contest takes place in dorking on international women’s day. I suppose it’s day out for the missus.

With thanks to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for this important letter.

The world is getting hotter faster — its pace nearly doubled in the past decade www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The plight of influencers stranded in Dubai is objectively fascinating (and truly I do feel for some but not Nick Candy). As a catastrophiser I’ve thought of all ramifications of global implosion, climate and nature collapse before I’ve even got out of bed. But it never occurred to them.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

The orange fuckstick gives himself 15 out of 10 for his war so far. It’s hard to find words frankly.

So 100k+ people potentially seeking asylum from Dubai. These sound like people with very demanding lifestyles who may not be able to assimilate into our simple make do and mend culture. Plus they’re not used to paying tax.

People keep suggesting this war is about hiding what's in the files rather than being entirely in character with and indicative of the callous disregard for life and wellbeing of the vulnerable you can expect to find in the files. It's not 8 dimensional chess. He's just a global tier dickhead.

Disturbing AF, yet again.

A question we should all ask ourselves…

wonder how many babies will be named Andrew this year

Whatever bar, restaurant etc nobody serve these fuckers.

“No, Darren. Leave means leave, you can’t come back now you’ve done some research ”.

Yet another illustration of how pulling on the Epstein thread leads in so many directions.

@nafeez.bsky.social thank you for your piece on whether AMW’s denials towards VRG are tenable. This week I used my DARVO diaries on substack to see if I could trace a journalist who corresponded with Epstein and see how they wrote about the scandal. Dominic Lawson was the best example I can find.

Just a quick one - will Andrew get Legal Aid?

We will soon enter the zone when the phrase ‘there’s no suggestion of any wrongdoing’ will look a bit ridiculous. Oh wait.

I wondered what could bring this divided nation together, turns out it’s the arrest of a Norfolk man in his 60s.

As per national guidance, the police won't be officially naming this Norfolk man in his sixties arrested over suspicion of misconduct in public office!

I’ll be most interested to read people like Dominic Lawson’s take on this in the newspapers this weekend.

Anyway I had a look into it all for my new thing The DARVO Diaries theweathermakers.substack.com/p/the-siegle...

Award winning British journalist Dominic Lawson loving the PM feeling the heat. But weirdly it’s Dominic Lawson not Keir Starmer who appears in the Epstein Files, had friendly email bantz over feminazis and women who make stuff up, and indeed stayed in Epstein’s house.

Sunday Times columnist Dominic Lawson has more front than Blackpool. I had a look at his Epstein output and Epstein’s input. Honestly I have questions. theweathermakers.substack.com/p/the-siegle...

Just to be clear - the reason why I knew is because women of this era have been relentlessly trolled about their shape and weight since birth. The middle class is presumably because they have more access to funds to pay for it.

Oh, I thought it would be bears that lived in woods.

DARVO is an acronym, Deny, Attack, Reverse, Victim and Offender - the classic strategy used on complainants and survivors of sexual abuse and bullying. Epstein deployed DARVO almost instinctively, as did many of the men he corresponded with…

Ozempic crew

The former Prince Andrew made his first official overseas trip as a solo artist in 1985 (Canada), but there were an awful lot of them inc Philippines 1996. Did he have a rider? Any dignitaries/press/staff see anything? Or did his use of trafficked women begin with Epstein? Some trips were on…..

At first I thought this was one of Nick Cohen’s own screenshots, but no! He is applying his somewhat expert lens to Epstein. Gentlemen of Fleet Street, a reminder that if you have form as a serial harasser and you write about survivors for clicks and cash, I will call you out. #metoo is not over.

Really gross when you see a known media creep being paid to file on Epstein files. Dear editors, please consider commissioning someone else, even a woman. 💚

For some time now I’ve been worried that the UK is being colonised by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Instead of obsessing over what Morgan McSweeny had for breakfast three weeks ago, perhaps the Epstein narrative could be driven by the fact it is a catastrophe for women and girls. Do not erase survivors from this story further. Investigations need to be survivor-centric everywhere.

Survivors need to be in charge of this.

🚨 RELEASE THE NAMES OF ALL THE CHILD SEXUAL PREDATORS!!! 🚨

Goodness me, the Epstein files might not have done much for victims, but certainly allowing a few support characters to jump on the old podium. 😳

I’m so concerned about victims of Epstein that I’m thinking of getting a spokesperson to issue a statement to that effect as I prepare to visit Saudi Arabia and crowned Prince Mohammed Bin Salman a friend of ahem, Jeffrey Epstein. That seems to be the gist of royal regret in the uk right now.

I stepped away from Peter Osborne because his climate denialism had a chill factor that actually made it harder for many of us. Now that I often see him promoted by people I respect, I was surprised to see he recanted sometime in 2017/2018 (v late). Do we know why he was so vehement?

Were these standards of Success, Creativity or Excellence in the room with you when Brett Ratner made ‘Melania’ the movie?

Oh my god. I had a dream about the Green Party. I don’t usually share dreams but this was me unofficially helping with comms for an inspiring female candidate and her comms man was annoyed by my presence. It must be a sign.

Love is the message.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

One to watch?

Fixed this headline

According to the Daily Mail, Andrew’s Pizza Express Woking alibi might not be true. I can’t believe it.

‘Furore’ is a funny word to use. Diminishing and sits oddly with ‘understandable’. Never mind. By the end of this process, he might be able to rustle up something that sounds half genuine.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles
