Watching out for a huge distraction if the FBI Epstein stuff is ever released in full. He's guilty, obviously.
My guess is: a shredding operation not seen since the last days of Enron is under way.
If not, I'd advise all Venezuelans to start digging nuclear shelters now!

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.
But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic

Shame the Government is apparently unaware of this fix to the economic woes of the country that could have saved their arses at the next election if they had moved quickly enough.

So there’s one aspect of the BBC story that has received zero attention: Robbie Gibb’s potential financial conflict of interests.

Definitely worth signing imo. Anyone not in favour of authoritarian regimes should too.
Police have made 2100 arrests under terrorism laws for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. This cannot go unchallenged. We need to urge the UK’s chief prosecutors must not to prosecute them. Add your name to the letter. www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/end-...

Someone (Tufton St.?) was no doubt paying this mendacious grifter for the service.
When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”.
Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition.

The more I think about it, the more I think this Panorama video business is very fishy.
I've worked at the BBC, and I'm pretty sure that all involved in the making of this video, from researchers to producers and editors, would all have known this editing was unacceptable.
I'm thinking sabotage.

Gibb needs to be booted out. If this isn't enough to make Starmer act, then nothing is.
