Just beyond parody at this point

Totally agree. Internationally everything is in turmoil and he seems to be respected and doesn't do knee jerk reactions to everything. It has to count for something

Yep. Completely agree. Media hounding is relentless and will continue no matter who is leader of this party. The constant turnover won't be good for anyone.

😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Funny how the media is baying for the blood of one man, but nods through this b’stard!

So if they decide to ditch him, who is going to be a better replacement? So much turmoil internationally that we need someone stable and measured. No knee jerk reactions.

Yes definitely agree

Lib Dem peer Lord Rennard has been suspended from the Liberal Democrats again, after the party launched a fresh investigation into claims he sexually harassed female members

This article is so spot on. These poor young people/children are barely mentioned. Praise for Starmer for actually talking about the victims. We should all be abhorred at what these rich and powerful men do and also recognise that this is probably still ongoing with a different ringmaster. Livid.

So far Starmer is the only person I have heard apologising to the victims. Or even mentioning them. Not the press. Not the leader of the opposition (a woman), no one in the other parties. All too busy making it all about them. Well shame on them.

So the Epstein scandal is about politics? Silly me for thinking it’s about the mass abuse of women and girls | Marina Hyde Obsessing over individual players and political chaos leaves less time to focus on the misogyny. And that’s for the best, isn’t it guys, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Credit where credit is due.

At least the Guardian have shown that all they care about is ousting Starmer.

Not investigating Farage.

Farage was mentioned 42 times in the Epstein files.

Investigate that.

Yeah somehow I doubt it but let's hope

So sorry to hear this. Hold on to those good memories and celebrate his life. I hope it all goes well for you.

And there's barely a mention of Farage being in those files. Why not? Its all very infuriating. Raging about it all day.

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

To all the anti Starmer anti Labour nebbishes on here:

This cunt supports rapists, child abusers, racists, dodgy middle eastern countries, Putin, Musk, Robinson, hates us Jews, wants ICE. Etc et bloody c.

Your next Prime Minister?
you are not a serious person.

Im more confused that Farage is mentioned in the files and no one is putting that as news headlines despite him being shoved down our throats at every opportunity. Where is the outcry?

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit.
Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

The media scrum can only concentrate on one thing at a time.

Farage is named in the Epstein files, Starmer isn't, but somehow the media seem determined to force Starmer out. I wonder why?

Yep. He was probably the most likely person to actually get Trumps attention. What about the victims in all this? Where is the outcry about what this powerful group of men did to young people/children? Why haven't all the details been released?

Ban on asylum seekers using taxis for medical appointments comes into force It comes after a BBC investigation which showed people travelling long distances at high cost.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Appreciate this is wasteful of tax payers money. Completely unnecessary in some cases to use a taxi. However, the comments from the taxi drivers about being given journeys which could be 100s of miles longer than necessary, makes me question who is the criminal here?

“I look at the performative hand-wringing, all the ‘OMG can’t believe Starmer appointed him despite all this!’ and I feel I’m in a parallel universe. Starmer appointed him BECAUSE of, not despite it. To be our interface with a corrupt WH that operates in precisely the same way. Everyone understood.”

Exactly this. A vile odious person who would fit in well and not be sidelined in a way a decent person would be.

Why are the names of those who sent these emails to Epstein redacted?

Keep at it please. So few journalists seem to be saying these things. Those girls deserve so much better and I cant even begin to say what the perpetrators deserve. I dont have strong enough words.

I actually don’t blame Starmer one bit for appointing Mandelson; I actually think in theory it could have worked

Naturally, Mandelson needs to be held to account but this outrage on sides of some in Labour Party over Starmer is stupid & counterproductive

I would disagree that he's terrible at politics. IMO he is probably a decent guy with a decent moral compass but he has made some big mistakes. I like the fact that he doesn't do knee jerk reactions and that he seems to be respected internationally. I shudder to think what we might end up with next
