The conservatives this morning said nothing about Epstein’s victims, Andrew or any of the many wealthy people implicated just went on and on about Starmer is untenable and should resign. No contrition over their ex PM links, no mention of Farage being mentioned just a diatribe of misinformation.

As the USA looks more like Russia daily it comes as no surprise that Trump and his billionaire backers are planning financial loans and investments in Russia making ending Russia’s war against Ukraine not their priority as they can make more profits from a weaker Russia.

Sunday paper headlines show they realise the Mandelson failures will not oust Starmer.
I think our voices have brought to light the enormous support of the public for our Prime Minister.
We did good.
Well done everyone.

Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.

Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

The only thing Trump is a world leader in is the number of times he is in the Epstein files. Even in the only thing he has ever actually achieved himself he is a total embarrassment on the world stage.

So far Starmer is the only person I have heard apologising to the victims. Or even mentioning them. Not the press. Not the leader of the opposition (a woman), no one in the other parties. All too busy making it all about them. Well shame on them.
Pity the media in U.K. ( Mason, LK, Rigby , Channel 4 .. Guardian etc ) , the opposition parties and the FEW Labour MPs making their own naked ambition to remove Starmer so clear , aren’t as reasoned and straightforward! She shames them all !!

Goodwin offers Gorton and Denton only failure, hatred, racism and division.
Prejudice as policy does not work. Even if, fleetingly, it makes you feel an ugly kind of special.
It’s a loser’s charter and Goodwin is such a loser.

I think the Media misjudged the #SolidarityWithStarmer in the electorate. They believed their own hype. Which is the trouble with being in a bubble.
People feel better off and can see money being invested in our Country. People are not mugs. They can see Starmer is decent and on their side.

Labour MPs & party insiders tell me they’ve never seen Keir Starmer so angry as over Mandelson’s lies about Epstein links.
But those who know him well say that anger has now turned inwards. That Starmer is, above all else, a man of public service, and will be grappling with his conscious this w/e.
