I love that Lewis is passionate about this, this isn't the first time he's talked about this issue. He knows how lucky he was to not be trapped in this horror

Morning. The sheer, nauseating hypocrisy of Westminster and the British news media.

Last year, most thought the Mandelson hire was a masterstroke. Only the FT brought up the Epstein connection. @lewisgoodall.com @thenewsagents.bsky.com absolutely nails it. Just two minutes, hugely recommended. โฌ‡๏ธ
