The disclosures thus far make clear that Ghislaine Maxwell perjured herself in her DOJ deposition to help Trump.
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

I support Sir Keir Starmer.
He is our PM and must remain as PM.
This speculation about his future needs to stop.
The media have it in for him and he is actually doing a bloody good job.

A sort of dark fantasy "parlour game", where she spots potential Nazis among her fellow party guests. Written in 1941, it rings 100% true today.

Says he wouldn't use her "language" but it's right for her to express "legitimate concerns" about migration

Is the UK addicted to “full independent inquiries”? Does it really take a years-long process costing millions to say it was a mistake to release Hadush Kebatu on Friday? Wouldn’t a faster internal process into what went wrong allow the government to *fix* it faster?
