Starmer's Twitter account is wall-to-wall immigrant bashing, and has been for weeks.

Where are the voices of the girls Epstein and Trump abused? Kate Manne transcribed Katie Johnson’s (a pseudonym) account of how Trump allegedly raped her at Epstein’s home in 1994. She was 13 and wore a blonde wig that Trump allegedly said made her look like Ivana, who was 13yo at the time.

For centuries, coal heated homes near the places it was dug.

Then, suddenly, in the 1570s it was rapidly adopted by Londoners, unleashing massive ripples through the economy.
