I love that Lewis is passionate about this, this isn't the first time he's talked about this issue. He knows how lucky he was to not be trapped in this horror

Morning. The sheer, nauseating hypocrisy of Westminster and the British news media.

Last year, most thought the Mandelson hire was a masterstroke. Only the FT brought up the Epstein connection. @lewisgoodall.com @thenewsagents.bsky.com absolutely nails it. Just two minutes, hugely recommended. ⬇️

We have utter sympathy for every human of colour, and any American who didn't vote for this monster.

It seems strange to us that a Prime Minister who isn't in the Epstein files might lose his job, whilst others including a president who is in them won't🤔.

We stole these photos from social media because your current President disgraced himself with a picture we would never post. However, in reply hundreds of you have posted lovely pictures of this amazing couple, and thousands more of you have liked and reposted them

Morning everyone.

With the legendary Carole Cadwalladr on his case, and a certain unredacted file, Tony "Jesus" Blair will soon have some tricky questions to answer...

He has friends in *very* high places. Scary places. Some of the *worst* friends. And look at this list. ⬇️

Just like Lewis Goodall earlier this week, Nick Abbot nails the absolutely hypocrisy of the broken and corrupt UK news media. This is brilliant, and so true.

The mainstream media is not on the side of truth or democracy. That’s true on the USA, the UK and anywhere else these media tycoons own their monopolies. We have to fix this, now.

Reform's flagship council, is recklessly spending council tax payers money on Reform councillor parking spaces. I wonder how the pothole repairs are progressing? Do tell 🚚 🚛

Mary Trump explains here why she thinks America has reached a tipping point. The killing of Alex Pretti was pivotal, but it's not the only dreadful ICE act we've witnessed. She says that Donald Trump has never been held accountable for anything. It's time 🗽
