Baroness Finn, stating that this would "risk a disproportionate intrusion into civil society", asks minister to confirm that the "current arrangements" will not change, but gets a strong response from Anderson:

I’m so with you. Not only is the ‘end of days’ hysteria absurd but the media’s abject failure to consider the abuses of power by other politicians named in the Epstein files makes a mockery of their outrage. If they’re serious about it, investigate them all. No10 wannabe, Farage, front of the queue.

Well fancy that. The British Populist Right's spiritual leader (after Farage) has ignored their increasingly shrill pleadings.

So true. Also, many of the Americans doing literally nothing about Epstein’s American ‘associates’ are precisely the ones lying about Europe & particularly the UK being overrun with child-rapists. It’s insane.
This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..
One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Just saw High Noon at the theatre with Billy Crudup in the lead role. Loved it. So many clear messages about having the courage to stand up for what you believe in. I once met the author of the original screen play the great Carl Foreman. He wrote it during McCarthyism period.

With all the Mandelson stuff going on it's amazing how public opinion suggests the UK public are looking forward to voting for MORE corruption in politics not less. Now might be a good time for parties to highlight how Mandy's bribes are jus the tip of the iceberg Farage is chasing.

Lord Peter Mandelson lobbied the US government on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein and Jes Staley in 2010 when he was business secretary, using their talking points in conversations with an American official about financial-crisis reforms
