Brit, living as an immigrant abroad (some might call themselves an expat).
Can't abide divisive right wing politics ... Farage, Trump, Musk ...
My passion is off-road and overlanding, so free time is spent in nature, camping and touring.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.
Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.
Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.
We know why.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Let's face it Mandelson was appointed because he was in the Epstein files, not in spite of them.
Trump would not have approved someone who was not. Look at his cabinet ...
It's ironic, who else wanted to be the UK emissary? A certain Nigel Farage. Guess what ... He's in there too.

@lewisgoodall.com when will you cover the hypocrisy of Nigel Farage, actually named in the files feeling it appropriate to comment on this issue at all?
Have written about a week where the hypocrisy of much of the media was laid bare (and address mine).
I also write about the truth Starmer cannot say: he appointed Mandelson to the court of Trump not in spite of the Epstein connection but in a sense, because of it. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

What's much worse, is that in that 25% the BBC NEVER interrogates him about anything. He's never challenged, they soft soap him and tickle his tummy.
If they really think he could be PM, they need to start holding him to account.

Dear @newsagents.bsky.social
Yes, this Mandelson thing is terrible.
When are you doing a special on Reform. Farage is in the Epstein files. He's a tax dodger. He flouts parliamentary rules. He's in Russia's pocket.
Stop soft soaping him.
Be journalists not sheep. That's why we listen to you.

"None of the excuses are good enough now," says Emily Maitlis.
"It does, at this point, land at Starmer's door to explain why any of that was seen as okay this time last year."

The Sunday Times has revealed who is behind the funds for Farage. A churchwarden from Potters Bar who works for the family of a highly secretive Iranian immigrant and oligarch, the Ghandeharis, has been revealed as the man behind £200,000 of donations to Reform UK.

It's often asked why, when Trump denigrates White House reporters asking reasonable questions they don't object?
Perhaps it's because all the 'reporters' there now are his hand picked stooges.
Or they are truly terrified.
Either way, it's wrong. Perhaps the press should simply not turn up.

Possibly the main reason why the people ignoring Trump's depravity are as dangerous as the ones excusing or actively supporting is that he wil clearly start a war to avoid scrutiny of anything from ICE to Epstein if he thinks he will get away with it.

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.
