When did any of this become acceptable, how can a "mainstream" newspaper (even one as warped as The Telegraph) print this?
It's just another example of the mindset of the RW towards women I suppose. 😞😡

Starmer and the rest of the European leaders MUST call this out and denounce it, it's outrageous and blatant meddling in foreign affairs by a fascist regime.
There can be no diplomacy with these evil people, Europe needs to be open and honest about what's happening.

I'm loving this energy. I hope Mandelson is squirming and feeling the walls closing in on him!
NEW: Mandelson just sent a memo to UK newspapers via the press watchdog demanding they stop publishing his links to Epstein.
He cited clauses in the Editors code, designed to protect grieving families.
The memo was NOT to be published.
The National just said ‘fuck that’ & published it in full 👏

I love our #NHS but I've just been told by my GP surgery that they're not able to give me a nurse appt for a two minute job to remove some stitches and that I have to go to A&E. This will involve a wait of several hours and clog up A&E.
We need to properly fund the NHS now, the sharks are circling.😏

This is good. I'm so glad the police are investigating Mandelson.
If and when it goes to court, I wonder if anything that also implicates senior people from other countries will be made public and therefore available to the public in that country? 🤔

I've just watched this and it's just as interesting as I thought it would be, and huge respect to Steve for his reporting in the circumstances he finds himself. His love of Russia shines through the doc.
For Brits it's on BBC One shortly (8pm) or you can find it on iPlayer. I really recommend it.
