The law will drag on and on and on. Lawyers will get rich, journalists will talk themseves hoarse and the rich and powerful guilty will die peacefully in their own beds long before judgement.

3 million properties were taken out of the public sector. Some, are now back in the private sector, being rented out to people who are subsidised by the public purse.
We’re suffering the consequences of Tory policy, from 40 years ago.

If #PeterMandelson / #Mandelson is Persona non grata for being friends with #JeffreyEpstein / #Epstein. How come UK Gov thinks it's ok to do business with #ElonMusk & #PeterThiel ? Weren't they friends with Epstein? UK politicians outrage seems very selective?

This is a horror story. The world service is the only good thing left with the BBCs news content. If they want to save money get rid of the Laura K show, just like an expensive GB News.

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

Let's not forget The Post Office and Royal Mail Andy. Only the innocent were found guilty.
The expectation of the royals was little different from other powerful people who found themselves in trouble over Aberfan, Ibrox, Flixborough, Bradford, Hillsborough, Grenfell and Windrush-They knew the system worked to protect them. That's the UK over my 68 years on the planet. #Newsnight

I didn't hear Alun Davies call for Starmer to resign. Did the Times journo watch a different interview?

To use a footballing analogy. Alex Ferguson's fan rating was very low in his first year at United and the management nearly succumbed to the clamour to sack him. They kept him, the rest is history.

Anas Sarwar knows he will be trounced by the SNP in the coming elections. His call for Starmer to resign is a desperate move to save Scottish Labour.

Big tech social media should be taxed out of existence. Its allready given us Trump, next it will give us Farage.
While banning social media seems like the easy solution, in fact it's letting Big Tech off the hook and placing the burden to protect themselves on children and families.
That's how we see it. What do you think?

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit
Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

The Sunday Show had a good debate about protecting children from the harmful effects of social media. I think as an alternative to an Australian type solution the social media platforms should be taxed out existence.
