Vile, disturbing new photos of Donald Trump that raise even more question about knowledge of abuses at Epstein's estate.

@oversightdemocrats.house.gov are demanding the DOJ comply with our subpoena and release the full Epstein files. Stop protecting pedophiles. Survivors deserve justice now.

I'm not kidding: I reported on this FOUR YEARS AGO in "The Decade In Tory"

It also contained the entire COVID Inquiry (cost: £200m). And every single Brexit mistake (£140bn per year).

And it's £2.50 on Amazon.

www.theguardian.com/education/20...
Tory governments spent £325m on free schools that failed or disappeared
More than £10bn was committed to building new schools between 2014-15 and 2023-24, compared with £6.8bn for rebuilding existing schools

Anyone who’s ever actually spoken to a single asylum seeker about their experiences in any country in Europe simply could not honestly conclude that what would improve things would be to further reduce their human rights protections.

It’s vile scapegoating unworthy of us & it needs to end #r4today

BBC Today has 2 people - a mother and chair of a current enquiry - criticising maternity services but nobody from maternity services or Royal College of Nursing to answer. Suspect underfunding/understaffing important

Where is the balance?

If it’s climate change, BBC would find a nutter for balance
While there is an understandable desire for accountability about the past this will not give, in terms of the future, I also think this is 'the best opportunity in a generation to finally put maternity services on a safer path.'
