Keen interest in UK, European, Canadian, Australian & US politics. Watching the USA die in the arse is a grim fascination.

Starmer needs to acknowledge he didn’t win a huge mandate — the Tories collapsed, so Labour strolled in.
Corbyn actually lost with more votes.
What did McSweeney do next? Advise Labour into the lowest poll ratings in its history.
So spare us the tears over McSweeney’s resignation.

If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.
How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

If this is verifiable and has been ignored by all those who shoud not have ignored it then we have even bigger problem than just Trump and fascism everywhere and that problem is people who look the other way if they can get something out of it.
According to this email Epstein and Maxwell buried 2 children who were strangled to death during rough fetish sex. And apparently there's a witness.
