Feels like the world quietly missed that less than three years ago, Britain’s *the actual Transport Secretary* used his Tory Conference speech to wheel out this insane conspiracy theory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYWU...

Please don't put in the paper that I specifically asked to go to the wildest party hosted by the worlds most famous pedophile
OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.

Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files

Love this article from the NS by @willdunn.bsky.social about how kids TV is on the way to becoming an unwashed mass of slop. (I produced an episode of the Sky News Daily podcast on a similar tangent a couple years back - linked below)
