In the Epstein files are references to a 9 year old girl from Brazil. References to some hideous things. Those men remain anonymous.

One thing I know is not one of those references is Keir Starmer.

Yet our media think Epstein will get rid of our PM because … bad decision

There’s a lot, lot worse to come over the Epstein files.

None of it for Starmer.

Media think they’ve got leverage over a bad decision. They haven’t.

Some Labour MPs think they can ‘punish’ Starmer. They can’t.

As always there are two outcomes for Starmer:

He leaves post

He stays in post

Based on the 40 or so other occasions he was expected to resign by the media. I think there’s a better than average chance he’ll remain in post.

I certainly hope so. He’s the best PM for years

Remember when people called that failure ‘Boris’. It really pissed me off.

Now people are referring to Manderson as ‘Mandy’.

They aren’t your mates. They’ve disgraced our Country. They don’t deserve any familiarity.

A shoplifter steals a few items.

A billionaire robs every single person who uses their shops.

The theft is incomparable.

But only one of them is called a thief.

Honestly all you ever hear day after day on LBC is Keir Starmer resigning. It is just madness. They’ve been on and on about this for 19 damn months. They sound crazy. This may well be the most important time but they’ve devalued it with the precious 18.5 months.

Complete DOGE failure in their flagship Kent County Council. (Listen and Learn ESSEX)

Two of their most experienced MPs walked through the wrong voting door last night.

The truth is, they really are idiots.

It's time for Americans to stop referring to Trump and his cabinet full of lawless thugs as an "administration" and identify them as what they truly are: A REGIME. Only then can the others remove their blinders. It is time to create a pre-midterm election action plan. Time is running out

Labour figures concerned about this exchange:

Badenoch: “Did the official security vetting he received mention Mandelson’s ongoing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?"

Starmer: “Yes it did. As a result, various questions were put to him.
I want to make sure this house sees the full documentation."
