Do MPs resign anymore? Like, out of shame. Does shame even exist for MPs nowadays?

The most shocking thing about the Epstein files coming out is that he had a gmail address. Don't the super-rich have some sort of private super-rich web provider?

If you enjoyed my radio play 'The Goblin King and Me' yesterday, could you please post about it or share the link to BBC Sounds with your family and friends..? It's so easy to miss these things and it's available to listen to for the next week. Thank you! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
