The specifics don’t matter here. The point is it should not be a matter for Trump who runs the BBC. If Starmer had anything about him at all, he’d say something.

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

Amazing how politicians can connect with voters when they talk about what concerns them, not their billionaire donors.

Who could have guessed that right-wing policies, participating in genocide and warmongering would make a 'Labour' government unpopular? 🤔

Extraordinary thing about the Epstein saga is it has resulted in only one person going to jail — a woman. Ghislaine was heavily involved, but not a user of Epstein’s services. No question of jail for Andrew: he needs only drop a prefix before his name. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Stupidity and royal self-entitlement sank Andrew, and it may not be over yet
Indulged by his mother and ignored for too long by his siblings, it is behaviour like Andrew’s that could ultimately kill the monarchy

The Line of Beauty is dazzling and devastating
There’s more humanity in this standout play about Thatcher’s Britain than in the decade itself

Two ways of looking at @ZackPolanski.
1. He offers hope and the only way out of our corrupt politics of vested interests.
2. He’ll divide the progressive vote at the next election and Labour will lose.
* Problem with 2: Labour isn’t remotely progressive and it’s going to lose anyway.

Curious how this government will claim to have ‘special intelligence’ on issues such as this and Palestine Action to justify what it’s doing, but where was the early intelligence on the appointment of Mandelson, the genocide, the claim they could make a success of Brexit etc?
