U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I always think it's nuts that the owner lifts the trophy.

Can just imagine the owners in England doing that

Quite a defense disply

This is quite jolly even if I haven't a clue what's going on.

I listened to a Bad Bunny track last night in preparation, it had him taking the Mick of Trump so I'm guessing we won't hear that

My unpopular opinion: releasing the emails & messages surrounding Mandelson’s appointment is entirely reasonable.
Releasing every communication between Mandelson and any ministers or Spads over the course of his ambassadorship is disproportionate, unnecessary and sets a really bad precedent.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

so a month ago I was reading @markpackuk.bsky.social’s speech on Twitter in the lords and there were obviously fake stats the government used to justify Twitter’s UK reach and its continued importance to British audiences

Rob has now found the source of the data was… Twitter

This is true but they wanted someone who Trump could relate to. So thought hey lets get a sleazy bloke, as no way a respectable woman can relate to a sleazy president

Left: Zia Yusuf, "Mandelson deserves to be in jail. The buck stops with the executive, Keir Starmer is a disgrace to his office and should resign"

Right: Nathan Gill is in jail for accepting Russian bribes. Using Zia Yusuf's logic, isn't Nigel Farage also a disgrace, and should also resign?

There are plenty of normal people in politics across all parties. Not always the ones who climb the greasy pole though

Should be wary ICE don't like Columbians

I don’t agree, because it’s about what risk you’re willing to wear. It was fairly obvious at the time that here was a guy with a) known skeletons b) partially known skeletons c) the likelihood of more skeletons. If you choose to not look and/or ignore the strong likelihood of more, it’s your call

Two. Am nervous about an assumption that maximal release of documents is always and definitely right. We need to protect the privacy of the vetting process. We have careful disclosure rules about criminal offences for good reason. In the heat of scandal and drama we need to keep our heads

Portcullis House would make great and valuable office space then

Keir Starmer has shown a catastrophic error of judgement in appointing Mandelson.

He should put himself to a confidence vote of Labour MPs so the Government can get past this one way or the other and start focusing on the change our country needs.

Absolutely. Make it a historical, safe tourist attraction. Would actually make money

Clearly the place has to be repaired otherwise it will burn/fall down.

But surely building somewhere new to today's requirements and standards will be cheaper and preferable.

Westminster can then be a huge tourist attraction

Kieran should've gone too #theapprentice

Whatdya know astro was rubbish.

BBC budget obviously cut as no treat again

The Sánchez 🇪🇸 government has

- built Europe's boom economy
- hiked minimum wage from €736 to €1221
- cut insecure work from c.30% to c.13%
- regularised, not demonised, migrants
- stood up for human rights
- refused to humiliate itself before Trump

No wonder Musk hates it.

The fundemental issue with WASPI is how maximalist it has been. If you read the ombudsman report it makes the claim that a relatively small number of people should be eligible for a bit of compensation, but there’s a difference between £500m and the £52bn that was mooted.

Apprentice Unfinished Business is awful, really tedious and no atmosphere. Podcast on TV doesn't work

Nigel Farage and Reform are threatening to sue the Conservative party for using "alleged mental ill-health as a political weapon" against Suella Braverman.

Just imagine doing such a thing

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Suella Braverman is teaming up with Farage to bring Trump-style chaos to Britain.

"One of our most unpopular Home Secretaries has resigned and joined our opponents."

"Excellent, put out a statement calling her mad."

"What?"

"Be very, very clear that we tried to help her with her mental health, but we will now publicise them to score points."

"Kemi.."

"Those. Exact. Words."

Rael Braverman quits Reform after attacks on Suella A day is a long time in politics. Just 24 hours ago, the husband of former Tory Home Secretary Suella Braverman was a signed-up member of Reform UK. This morning, however, Rael Braverman announced tha...

Shameless of Suella Braverman to defect to Reform and the Hard Right party to accept her.

Reminder that Reform's Zia Yusuf blamed her(and Robert Jenrick!) for the £7bn Afghan data leak and thousands of migrants.

Suella's hubby quit Reform!

Nigel Farage appears to have changed his mind

Do not allow Badenock to hide these policies behind a more slick, honed PR operation.

Ask her at every opportunity what plans she has for this style of paramilitary crackdown on citizens.

She might be convincing some that she's standing up to the nutters, but Katie Lam remains.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
