Norway’s crown princess had years of contact with Epstein, files suggest Mette-Marit apologises for β€˜poor judgment’ as documents reportedly include scores of email exchanges with child sex offender

Have found it quite underreported in the UK that the Norwegians are speedrunning a total collapse in approval for the monarchy.

Starmer calling for Andrew to testify is a new sound and it doesn’t bode well for Andrew. Maybe Charles did cut him off late, but still just in time to save the monarchy.

Donald Trump's deepest shame as kingdom crumbles with 'dangerous move'

A little over a year into his second presidential term, President Donald Trump's kingdom appears to be crumbling around him, and there are serious concerns amongst therapists over what his next "unpredictable" move will be.

And Peter Attia MD telling Epstein the biggest problem with being his friend is he can’t tell anyone about the life he lives. Nice.

Screenshot of an X.com post by β€œRepublicans against T…” (@RpsAgainstTrump). The post says Trump’s secretary of commerce, Howard Lutnick, claimed a 2005 visit to Jeffrey Epstein’s home left him so revolted that he cut ties with Epstein, but that emails released today suggest Lutnick stayed in contact for years afterward, including a 2012 email discussing a visit to Epstein’s private island. Below is a composite image: on the left, a video thumbnail of a bald man speaking at a microphone; on the right, a screenshot of an email with many lines redacted/black-barred.

Lutnick lied. I wonder what he's hiding.

'The virus is still evolving at an incredible rate': How widespread is COVID now - and how many people are dying with it? After four years of COVID, the virus is still affecting people in ways scientists are only just beginning to fully understand - and impacting the NHS.

β€œβ€¦ "The idea that repeated infections are a preferable means of generating population immunity to vaccines, especially in children, is a dangerous nonsense."

But it seems no-one damn well listened 🀬

One name that pops up repeatedly in the Epstein files is Tancredi Marchiolo, who some claim is a partner at Bremner Capital. If this is indeed the same guy, what exactly was his relationship with Epstein?

And what the hell did he mean by:

β€œdo you want me to try to do her… or just torture her”?

Although not perfect,Starmer is 100% better than the previous government and does not get the credit he and his government deserve.In the short time they have been in office they have continued to honour 2/3 of their manifesto promises that MSM seek to avoid.Don’t believe the hype attacking them.

to be clear:

1] Peter Mandelson was deputy prime minister (de facto) at the time under Gordon Brown

2] Epstein had already done time in jail for soliciting sex from a minor
