‘Prince Andrew believed having sex with me was his birthright’: Virginia Giuffre on her abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and the king’s brother
In an extract from her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre remembers the day an ‘apex predator’ recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, aged just 16; how she was trafficked to a succession of wealthy and powerful men, and how everyone knew what was going on

The fact that 41% of Americans think a delusional psychopath is somehow doing a good job is a literal death knell for American democracy.
In any other country people would be apopletic if the numbers were in the high teens.
This is not a problem solved by 50%+1 seats in Congress in 18 months time.
