Looking back at just a few months ago, I don’t even recognise myself in the second picture. Without realising, I had got to a point where I had not been in the gym for over a year

Side note: The Expanse novels (as well as being excellent on social media) are really interesting on UBI. Or “basic” on Earth in an interestingly dystopian way.

Someone who really wanted to throw a cat among the pigeons would start asking whether it is right for people who go to university, but don't do laboratory subjects, to bear the cost of others who do so.

Alistair Darling and the official Treasury were always aware that investment banks had an inside track to Number 10. But the brazen nature of that inside track is rather breath-taking.
Who leaked this Number 10 discussion to Jeffrey Epstein? And are there consequences for the leaker?
It’s an internal discussion re. getting markets moving in the aftermath of the financial crisis. No doubt of great interest to Epstein and his financial market clients.

NEW: Who was John Pond?
This August 2009 email exchange which was forwarded to Jeffrey Epstein included Mandelson, the PM's PPS Jeremy Heywood, the minister/adviser Shriti Vadera and... John Pond.
Two sources have told the BBC that John Pond was in fact Gordon Brown, then the PM

I'm not suggesting for a moment that the child prositution conviction doesn't matter. It matters hugely, and says a lot about all the people who remained close to Epstein after.
I'm just saying that even without that, this is a scandal of historic proportions for completely unrelated reasons

You can mentally remove the sex trafficking and child rape and imagine for a moment that Mandelson is pals with a normal foreign investor who is not a convicted criminal... and it is still virtually impossible to process the idea of him forwarding on sensitive government emails while in cabinet

Trying to explain to non-politicos that no, we had no idea Mandelson had leaked market-sensitive information to a foreign pal when he was forced to resign in September, that scandal was about said "pal" being convicted of a child prositution offence, which is scandalous for totally different reasons

3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
