Clive Lewis ( Labour MP south Norwich) needs to either keep his mouth shut..or join Corbyn's lot

He's just handing gifts to the other political opposition

Y'all need to pay attention to what's happening in Europe. They're not messing around. The Epstein scandal is causing heads to roll.

In America, eh, not so much. I wonder why.

If you are using the phrase "full speed ahead to uber-woke, net-zeroist, rejoinerism", especially if you are of the left, a loved one should take your phone off you and send you to Baden-Baden or somewhere for a month.
Yes, god help we risk a floundering government that feels like no one is in charge.

M Sweeney resigns...had to be I'm afraid

But good quality resignation letter...

Now the moaners will be happy..but who will replace?

So the news describes labour MPs are angry with Keir about Mandelson saying Keir won't be leader by 2027

Genuine Labour voters in the country are not saying the same
They are saying stop destroying your leadership, and stop splitting the party

Hoekstra repeatedly described Canada as “mean and nasty” to deal with. He accused the Canadian government of meddling in U.S. elections for running anti-tariff ads.

Declare him persona non grata then

Although ICE agents absolutely should not be wearing masks, acting like the brutality will stop because their faces are showing is quite naive. Police forces brutalize people all the time with their faces outs, name tags, badges and body cams. The only solution is no ICE.

I suspect Trump demanded Farage as US Ambassador and Starmer offered Mandelson.
Even if not the case, the cancer of Trump is everywhere.

If you are a journalist who hailed Madelson's appointment as "genius", despite knowing his links to Jeffrey Epstein (spoiler alert, we all did), then I do not believe you are in a position to criticise the PM's grave error of judgement.

If Maxwell is truthful in that Epstein recorded all of trump's interactions with under age girls etc is...no wonder these files are not being released

The world needs an Epstein files whistleblower

Quick round up:

- the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile
- he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments
- his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets
- the FBI is helping him steal the election
- he’s threatening war against multiple allies

👍👍👍

So let's run through the Mandelstein file:
1. Appeared in his underpants in a photograph with a young woman in Epstein's Paris home.
2. Received £75,000 from Epstein not declared in the register of interests - a straightforward breach of the Ministerial Code.
3. Received £10,000 from Epstein 1/5

Just a thought, if Starmer is being called in to step down for something Mandelson did in 2009 when Starmer wasn't even an MP shouldn't Farage step down for what Nathan Gill did when he was a Brexit Party Ltd MEP and Farage was party leader🤔

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Epstein-Mandelson is not the story here

The real story is so many women were abused in the Epstein years, men - who are still alive- & those men know what they did & are openly lying, the tRump Administration is continuing its protection of those men

Those women were and are still being ignored

Are ICE going to be stationed at the winter Olympics in Italy?

If so on what grounds...

Are these the 700 that have been withdrawn from Minneapolis?..
