Until the #Epstein files are released, trust in power cannot be restored. What is a deal or a gift, why does a president have two state visits, are donations or contributions to projects & campaigns hush money? How many more powerful ‘leaders ’ are guilty? It’s a matter of worldwide public interest.

sorry to hear Ricky Hatton took his own life - still so many platformed voices sneer at issues of mental health - a reminder of why a world where people feel they can speak about their inner battle & not feel they must hide or be ashamed needs to be built

Or he should be interviewed under caution, in the presence of a lawyer.

Piers should stick to interviews with celebrities who’ve just been evicted from the jungle.

Just listened to Chris Mason on Radio 4 defending BBC's excessive coverage of Farage & Reform. I was outraged by his response to legitimate criticism. I no longer trust the BBC's political coverage (actually I haven't for some time, but the BBC's behaviour has grown even worse of late).

Yes, it's true.

Trump really did post an AI video of himself - in a crown - dumping shit on people protesting against him.

This is a man Nigel Farage calls "inspirational".
