Former public prosecutor Nazir Afzal on the speed at which the police have acted on Andrew's misconduct allegations compared to the Epstein trafficking allegations:
"When the state is the alleged victim, the state moves at pace. When women are the alleged victims, the state takes its time"
@mrhenrymorris.substack.com, bang on form. A wonderful dissection of the appalling Jenrick.

47% of Europeans want X banned across the EU, so the flipping Scandiwegians are doing something about it, with proper Viking energy.

All thoroughly sickening and one can but hope for accountability in time.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.
"In a self-valuing democracy, the only defensible stance is to call for release of all remaining files." My column on why the latest Epstein dump gives America the opposite of closure. as.ft.com/r/9553eceb-2...

Davos Was the Beginning of the End for Trump

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard.
This policy is a horror:

Amidst the wreckage, perhaps there is a vision of a future where the US plays a much smaller role in European lives. Won’t be quick though.
