“They were careless people… - they smashed up things… then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made…”
Yes Mandelson. But don’t ignore what Farage et al did (and still do) to help them.
Epstein believed that he was ushering in some kind of political revolution in the late 2010s, supporting far-right candidates across Europe. But it's clear from reading his emails that he was learning how to fit into that world as it was being created.

Tomorrow we are in the High Court suing Reform for breaching data processing rules. We think it's really quite important. 👇

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name.
Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s “come home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

Palantir software is now the basis of the Government's fraud reporting service. So it now handles sensitive financial data for millions of UK citizens. Plus NHS data. Plus military analytics. Plus policing.

And, of course, it's quite explicitly far right in its politics.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.
