Marina Purkiss handing Andrea Jenkyns her backside. She is one of the few people in the British media who will call out EVERYTHING direct at source.

She's not trying to be everyone's mate and she doesn't give a F*CK what you think.

I'd go even further than Marina tbh, but this is great.

People I know who work in this area totally agree with legalising all drugs

I hope they'll come out and support this welcome policy
Well said. Zack is right to talk about the hypocrisy of powerful men in Westminster who’ve done drugs themselves, & who know, but don’t care, that their drugs policy is anti-evidence & is being weaponised against whole communities.

Are any Labour MPs brave enough to come out & back this debate?
Drug laws have never stopped people from using drugs.

They've stopped people from using drugs safely.

It's time to legalise *and* regulate.

Remember that Mandelson quote? "We are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich, as long as they pay their taxes". By "we" he meant the Labour government. Turns out that he - as a government minister - was lobbying on behalf of his filthy rich chums to ensure they paid less tax.

JPMorgan should ‘threaten’ UK over banker tax, Mandelson told Epstein.

Mandelson was Business Secretary at that time in 2009.

After leaving govt in 2010, Mandelson set up an advisory firm called Global Counsel, JPMorgan was a client.

Must be investigated.

If 26 Americans or Israelis or Germans were murdered today, it would be the top headline on every network.

They keep telling you “the war is over” while this happens, because their idea of a peaceful, “normal” order is one where Israel gets to mass murder Palestinians at will.

The Rafah crossing has reopened - but only barely.

Despite 20,000 sick Palestinians waiting to leave Gaza for medical treatment, only around 50 will be permitted to leave each day. No aid will be allowed through to Gaza. No foreign journalists will be allowed in either.

Similarly, of the tens of thousands waiting, only around 50 people a day will be permitted to return to Gaza.

No aid, no intl journalistic oversight, almost no mobility. Meanwhile Israeli forces continue attacks on Gazans, with at least 30 killed just days ago.

Mandelson said "I have dedicated my life to the values and success of the Labour party and in taking my decision, I believe I am acting in its best interests".

we know that is not true. If it were, he would not have had to resign so many times. Mandelson's dedication has always been to himself
