It must be doing terrible damage to the paedophile community to be associated with all these Labour peers.

"We left with all of my children".

I don't think anyone was going to assume you left your children there... But now we are.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

GOVERNMENT LIES

A clip from last night’s C4 Despatches shows that the government’s own advisor saw no evidence on claims used by Labour to proscribe Palestine Action.

Jonathan Hall KC slams the phoney accusations of an ‘Iran link’ as “nudge nudge, wink wink”.

When I worked in the civil service you couldn't buy an ergonomic keyboard without it being put out to tender - now Palantir are being handed hundreds of millions of pounds in government contracts. It's corrupt.

Palantir is throwing the MoD a party to celebrate its untendered £240m contract.

It would already be inappropriate for any member of Govt to attend, given what we know about how Palantir has facilitated genocide in Gaza and been complicit in ICE deportations.

Now, it would be unacceptable.
The Green MPs have written to the Cabinet Secretary urging an investigation into "Palantir's vice-like grip on our Government" and the role played by disgraced Peter Mandelson in brokering it.

All contracts with this Trump-supporting spy tech company must be suspended.

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.

I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.

Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.

Palantir out.
Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Wes Streeting has admitted that Israel is committing war crimes.

In doing so, he has admitted that his government has broken the law.

The government is legally obliged not to sell combat aircraft components to states committing war crimes.
Wes Streeting privately said Israel committing war crimes, backed sanctions on 'rogue state'
The British health secretary privately admitted last year that the Israeli government 'talks the language of ethnic cleansing'

An annoying thing about the far right - aside from their pretend inability to distinguish between a students union or student society and a university - is they mistake freedom of speech and freedom of association for things they should be able to do to others. It's not freedom to speak *to me*.
Reform is threatening Bangor University over a student society’s decision. The society isn’t Bangor University—but this is a neat preview of how a Reform government would work: public money for supporters only. Trump-style politics, UK edition.

Authoritarian reflex is already working just fine.👇

As Starmer implodes, which commentators are on TV explaining why it's all fallen apart?

The same pundits who cheered him on the first place and thought he'd be a brilliant prime minister.

Shameless all round!

American "christians" are now in their "Jesus would have been a Nazi" era
Antisemitic Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon gripes that the United States sided with the communists in Russia during WWII instead of backing the "Christian nation" of Nazi Germany, likening it to the crowd freeing Barabbas while condemning Jesus to death in the Gospels.
