Also, as an immigrant, I’ve no lesson to receive from a supposed patriot who moved abroad to avoid paying taxes. I pay taxes in the U.K., he doesn’t.

if you’re a rich/privileged charlatan/liar (it has been proven that Johnson fits both of those descriptors ) then does it exempt ppl from prosecution?
I ask on behalf of ordinary people, especially those mothers who resorted to stealing to feed their kids.
Or do different rules apply? 🤔

Boris Johnson met a former KGB officers son without officials after a NATO summit. Ignored security warnings. Then gave him a seat in the House of Lords. We were told to just trust him. This is not normal. These questions still demand answers.

He's made an entirely rational use of his platform. Russia's constant killing of Ukrainian athletes, and Ukrainian civilians in general, was not being talked about, and now it is. And that's more important than sport.

SHARE! In Starmer’s speech last night he apologised to Epstein victims for the denial of justice they suffered.
He said his govt would always seek truth against the powerful.
But HIS OWN GOVT blocked justice for 400+ Al Fayed victims & refused to investigate trafficking. Starmer is fully aware.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

What Mandelson did in 2009 is possibly criminal, that's the story not Starmer appointing him US Ambassador in 2024. The media and others are using this as another stick to beat Starmer with, don't let them.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Then and now the focus on individuals - Peter Mandelson and Michelle Mone - diverts attention from the real point. Our institutions, which should protect the public, just nod along with what is a kind of theft by the privileged. No one goes to prison, no one is ever held accountable.

Well. So, Nov 2017, the FBI knew Epstein used videos of underage women. That Epstein was Putin’s wealth manager.
That Epstein was “very close” to Trump. And that Trump went to lunch with Epstein as recently as 2015…so much for that falling out decade(s) before
