Top 8 stories on Guardian are on the Epstein files, and Trump is not mentioned on the front page once (though is in pic).

This is what happens when you control which documents are disclosed and which are not.

A readerβ€˜s letter in the times which reads as follows: 

Old adversaries
Sir, Your obituary (Jan 19) of Mr Justice Blofeld rightly referred to his fine sense of humour. When he first sat in Winchester a barrister called Richard Bond stood up to open the first case. Mr Justice Blofeld began to stroke the white ermine on the sleeve of his High Court judge's robes as if stroking a cat. He then said with a smile: "We meet at last, Mr Bond."

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

According to Keir Starmer, the New Year’s honours recognise people β€œwho put the common good ahead of themselves to strengthen communities” with β€œquiet dedication” – yet higher awards went to party hacks and poorly performing executives.

Full story in the new Private Eye, out now.

Remarkable statement from the Prime Minister of Denmark, directed at President Trump:

β€œI therefore strongly urge the United States to cease its threats against a historically close ally, and against another country and another people who have stated very clearly that they are not for sale.”

There’s going to be a motion of censure at the UN and Starmer is going to have a decision to make.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just denied the Trump administration's desperate effort to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area.

This is a huge win for the rule of law.

Ethics watchdogs are alarmed by $6 billion marriage of Trump’s social media platform and nuclear fusion company | CNN Business The Trump business empire’s expansion into nuclear fusion is alarming ethics experts who warn it poses glaring conflicts of interest and risks the federal government playing favorites in what has been...

The federal government should support the development of fusion energy, but the President of the United States should not personally benefit from it.

Merry gentlefolk, it is time.

Today is the day.

Today is comma-mas.

Today is the day where we contemplate the correct placing of the comma in 'God rest you merry, gentlemen'.

And if we are lucky, we can have a row about it.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as β€œthe most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
