Nigel Farage was mentioned 43 times in the Epstein files.
But you don’t see any of the ‘political’ journalists mention this do you?
Instead it’s the usual diatribes against Starmer.
These people are an embarrassment

I am slightly annoyed. Chap who only lives about half a mile away has postponed coming to collect good quality duvet cover and pillowcases I'm giving away saying he "forgot". I had others who were interested and who've already been to collect stuff and who came on time.

Judging by the panic going on in the Government. I think Mandelson did much more than they're letting on. I have also asked the BBC to explain why they still describe Epstein as a 'Financier' when they describe people doing similar things in Northern England as 'Grooming gangs'.
That's the right approach whilst retaining skepticism and asking very awkward questions of BBC and all the other press/media/politicos and reminding people of what's already happened.
