Suspect she's made the calculation that better-off grads are more likely to vote Tory (though I'm no longer sure that applies).

Seems he's already Bored of Peace.

It really doesn't. The Andrew formerly known as Prince was a trade envoy from 2001-10 - an unpaid, voluntary role supporting the Blair/Brown governments. Nothing to do with Starmer. Note, though, that no UK citizens, whatever their place in society, is immune from #Epstein impact. US? Not so much.

Breathtaking to see the different reaction to what's in the #EpsteinFiles across Europe, in comparison to the non-action in the US. For whatever reason, it remains Trump's kryptonite.

The last member of the #RoyalFamily to be arrested before Andrew was King Charles 1. It didn't go do so well for him.

Always the danger when you put your Cabinet together on the basis of just two criteria: 1. Blind fealty. 2. They look good on TV.

The new Epstein file that suggests Trump knew about paedophile's behaviour This latest controversy could lead to further fracturing of the US President's Maga support base

My latest tuppence worth on #TrumpEpstein in @theipaper.com today from @uniofsurrey.bsky.social. inews.co.uk/news/world/n...

That's the bloke who's tax registered in Monaco and mainly lives on the shores of Lake Geneva. One might say the non-UK tax havens have been colonised too.

The 1st year of Trump 2.0 was a success. Effective EOs, a set-piece Omnibus Act & significant global economic/military interventions. This was Trumpism with a plan & at least 2 ideological lieutenants helping to steer the ship. 9 months out from the midterms, is that drive and discipline slipping?

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Annoying - with strings attached.

I suspect #McSweeney was give no choice. Key now is party/public and to a lesser extent media reaction to #starmer. this was the minimum change necessary. Not sure it's enough.

Question is, who has that political nous? I would suggest someone not bothered about Ming vases.

Not totally sure that the low-key and assured #McFadden really helped #Starmer's cause on the media round this morning. #Epstein is corrosive - even at one step removed. But note the different reaction of UK to US when the wealthy & influential are caught in the net.

Really hope she's ok - but I wonder if pride trumped good sense in her decision to ski injured.
