Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files?

As Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick his Shadow Chancellor, here's a quick reminder of the sort of man Reform wants to put in charge of the nation's finances

It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

A reminder, before a certain movie probably makes a big thing of it again:

A young Irish couple did not provide the critical data that made Stagg tell Ike to delay D-Day.

The most critical data came from HMS Hoste, alone out in the Atlantic.

The Blacksod story is nice. But it's not true. /1

Never forget en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Coc...

The current system fails to prioritise the very children it is designed to help, all while private SEND providers rake in record profits and squeeze council coffers dry.

Our children deserve better.

I’m always happy when someone adds to this classic meme. Here is the latest update (that I’m aware of).

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

First thing I was ever taught while leafleting or canvassing, close gates. Don’t upset possible voters

Oh look. There are countries where there is accountability, not impunity, for high-level misconduct. What a novel idea.

And you can imprison a president for life for trying to do a coup?

Wait you can actually arrest someone over what's in the Epstein files?

Maybe some of those Americans now eh

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor arrested. New 'absolute rag of a publication' on sale now

Were you wearing a kimono?

I’m so excited for you guys to read my new book

Jennifer @JenYetAgain@beige.party in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US. Feb 9, 2026 at 4:35:18PM Boosted by 968: Favourited by 1324:

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

Hey, BBC Olympics announcers,

Can you stop saying that this Russian guy was “deprived” of his chance to compete?

His country is a murderous invader.

Farage is clearly misleading the public.

The main reason that net migration fell by 445,000 (year to June 2025 it was 205k, having been 649k a year before) is that immigration fell by 401,000.

The BBC should fact-check/verify and report that this was untrue.

If only we could find the guys who’ve been running the country for the last decade!

The clip they played on Today at 0845 yesterday had no correction of the numbers and Robinson acknowledged them

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

Jim Ratcliffe, himself a migrant to Monaco to avoid paying his fair share of UK tax, and who supported Brexit which has so damaged the British economy, is yet another millionaire oligarch backing the far right to further line his pockets

For whom the Torsten Bell Tolls?

It's a fun piece this. Also a reminder that a cash/cheque society was an absolute pain in the arse.
