Oh…let’s hope no hostile state actors knew about this while he was serving as UK Ambassador to Washington.

Jeffrey Epstein sent £10,000 to Mandelson’s husband, emails show Epstein sent Reinaldo Avila da Silva payment in 2009

I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in

Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files

The BBC's decision to put its news content behind a paywall for American audiences is an astonishing own goal at such an important moment. New motto: "Nation shall speak peace unto Nation, but only when they pay 50 bucks for the first year".

True.

They're the ones who become the Brown Shirts.

They are the Gestapo in waiting.

Quite glad that the big story in British politics is whether Andy Burnham will apply to stand in a by-election and not people being gunned down by state militias.

Solidarity with Minnesotans resisting this barbarity.

Help us make hope normal again.

Join the Green Party now.

Are we sure he meant Greenland and not Iceland??

I mean he might even mean my local town centre Iceland and that could actually do with an overhaul.

From an actual Nobel Prize Winner - @pkrugman.bsky.social - and a good explanation of "Sundowning"; a phrase many of us will soon be familiar with.

You’ve got to hope that MI6 has found out that Trump has only a few weeks to live. Because if that isn’t the case, Starmer is making a real mess of this.

Trump has invited Pution to sit on the 'Gaza board of peace'

Trump is our enemy, dosesn't Starmer get any of this?

What European leaders have been most nervous about is the US pulling back on NATO or Ukraine… but how can Europe trust the US will come to its defense if its trying to seize territory from a NATO country. They can’t. So why cave to keep a security commitment that is not real. 6/

Trump is an enemy of the UK and of NATO.

He has already massively damaged our economies & now threatens to take military action us.

Where is the red line?

When are our govts going to stop grovelling & pandering to this fascists' whims?

I’m old enough to remember when many of the voices saying very little tonight told us very loudly that Obama and Biden were anti-British.

We need to talk about Conway.........

Love the bloke but he's just nowhere near where he should be.

There was a ball whipped in by Gilbert 1st half that any striker worth anything would have been all over but Conway was on left behind Gilbert 🤷‍♂️

Yep

"Why would anyone hand the keys back to these people [the Conservative Party] to take the country forward and hope that they would fix it" says Robert Jenrick, who was a Conservative Party Shadow Minister until just a few hours ago, and has been plotting to take it over for years

Sounds like a plan to me. Chances of our govt enacting any of it? Is there a number less than zero?

I would like to think so as well but i am far far far less certain of it than I would have been 2 years ago.

In the spirit of brotherly love, could I gently enquire why the almighty **** are government departments, government ministers and Labour MPs *STILL* using X?

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Richard Brooks reports in this week’s Private Eye that almost all of that £50m has now been taken as dividends by the developers Chris Musgrave & Martin Corney (there’s £2.7m left in the account) 👇

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Make it viral.

Just an empty platitude. The man is a vacuum.

Europe needs to get much more comfortable threatening Trump with serious deterrent measures, and if necessary implementing them. Tariffs, taxes & bans on US firms; selloffs of US Treasuries; expulsions of American troops; sanctions on individuals. Speak his language: strength.

Cheering on fellow Boro fan GVV in this house !!!

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.

Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it
