Epstein dated Norwegian heiress at same time as Maxwell, court hears British socialite’s former assistant says Epstein instructed her to send flowers to Celina Midelfart

Ghislaine Maxwell... Bill Barr... Pam Bondi... I don't care how many people they trot out telling us Trump did nothing wrong in the Epstein files. Release them so we can see for ourselves.

Epstein dated Norwegian heiress at same time as Maxwell, court hears British socialite’s former assistant says Epstein instructed her to send flowers to Celina Midelfart

'Trump' dated 'Celina Midelfart'. She was a former partner of... Jeffrey Epstein.
The headlines write themselves...

Who's really funding our political parties? We call for a ban on donations linked to the private healthcare sector.

Do you think MPs shouldn’t be allowed to take donations from the private healthcare sector? Great! Please sign (and share) this:

Signed - thank you!
A shame our politicians don't have the integrity not to take donations that create a conflict of interest and an implicit expectation of a favour. MPs are acting for the donor and not their constituents or the country. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @conservatives.bsky.social

We voted for and against the ban on Palestine Action. Now we have a plan to end this mess | Stella Creasy and Peter Hain Neither of us support the organisation, but what is happening fails to either protect protest or make it policeable. There is another way, say MP Stella Creasy and life peer Peter Hain

Is he allowed to run from a ⚰️ ?🤔

Only Trump could lose money running casinos, notoriously rigged to make money for their owner. Somehow he'd make a loss printing money 😂

Apparently Trump also has a lot of experience with trafficked children. If he would only release the Epstein files he could give the world valuable insight into this crime.

Reform peerages Sir, Your leading article "Fairness in the Lords" (Aug 16; letter, Aug 18) argues that Reform UK deserves to be represented in the House of Lords. Reform is not a serious political party in the traditional sense; it is Nigel Farage's personal brand. Strip away Farage and there is very little left. That alone should disqualify it from being elevated to the second chamber. This is not a party with pedigree, history or any record of governing. Its few minor wins have been overshadowed by internal feuds and candidates whose backgrounds raise more questions than answers. Farage himself has founded, abandoned and rebranded more political parties than most voters can remember and nothing suggests that Reform will prove any different. The House of Lords is meant to be a revising chamber for experienced voices who have been tested in public life, not a platform to prop up Farage's latest political experiment. Until Reform demonstrates staying power and that it can govern responsibly, and proves that it is more than the ego of one man, any talk of representation in the Lords is not only premature but a dangerous lowering of standards. Shabir Mamdani Northwood, Middx Sir, I am surprised that your leading article describes the unelected House of Lords as "an important part of Britain's democracy". I'm also surprised that Nigel Farage, who railed against "unelected bureaucrats" controlling Britain while he was a member of Ukip, should now feel his party should have Reform UK members in the House of Lords. I would have thought the party name "Reform" would automatically preclude it from wanting anything to do with the upper house. Alan Whitney March, Cambs Sir, It would seem perverse to most independent observers were Reform UK given the right to elevate to the Lords people whose very presence within Reform was largely reflective of their failure to achieve meaningful recognition in the mainstream parties. Mark Banham Beechingstoke, Wilts

Glad that, despite the Times’ relentless efforts to flatter Farage’s ego, (rather than ever hold him to account), its readers are far less convinced by his grifting demand for peerages and his sense of entitlement to power without responsibility.

Jenrick said, 'Great to be with peaceful, patriotic protesters in Epping today.'
patriotic' is now interchangeable with 'inhumane'

Who was it? They all appear to have been told to, where possible, mimic Reform's policies.

Trump admitting if he ran again he'd lose... Aside from the constitutional implications, some self-awareness of his unpopularity at last!

The police don't have time for this sort of minor offence when there are elderly protesters to arrest...

The Deep State needs to try harder! - Farage is all over the BBC & rw media who are hell bent on making him PM.

Cummings ageing badly - must be his fear of going to prison! One of the most traitorous people to get involved in UK politics. Check where he was 93-97 (Russia) all Brexit roads lead back to Russia.

Vance has left the Cotswolds and skulked back to Washington after being thrown out of a pub. His meetings with Murdoch in the UK will be interesting to explain to Trump...

This is Nixon's Watergate coverup on steroids. Only then, Republicans eventually found the courage to stop playing footsie with a criminal president. Today's Republicans genuflect before their Pedo Prez - and cover their eyes and ears pretending the Epstein files don't exist.

Is he going to take on Horizon the voting machine company? They got $787million from Murdoch, a far smarter guy than Trump (not difficult I know). Defamation suit incoming Donald!

Putin told him to do this. That’s a very important piece of the story. Im not kidding. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The man is literally starting a war against mail-in voting because Putin told him to. The colossal, limp, flatulent weakness of it all. Why choose a dictator so embarrassing?

Kisin - yet more Russian connection to the UK's right, from Farage & Reform Ltd & Putin to Johnson & Lebedev, plus Tory funding by Lubov Chernukhin.

The line that Putin fed him. Trump is unhinged.

EU needs to accept that Trump is negotiating on behalf of Putin & Russia. Putin could stop his war tomorrow by withdrawing & giving back territory he's invaded.

A reminder that treating Russian territorial gains as an inevitable outcome is a Kremlin talking point. Since 2014, the Kremlin has pushed this idea that Russia is so powerful and giving up some land is better than giving it all up. It doesn't lead to peace, it leads to pause-and-push land grabs.

Good plan (apart from ceding territory) though Simon McDonald mistaken in thinking Trump is negotiating in good faith. He is, by inclination and possible financial gain, far more attracted to Putin than to Zelensky. It will be interesting but Starmer (non-EU) as leader? Not a good idea.
