Even if Keir Starmer didn't know everything about Peter Mandelson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the Prime Minister knew enough. Mandelson's numerous scandals should have ruled him out of ever holding any political office.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
