21.00 KIER AS FOLK Comedy-drama about the lives of a humble toolmakers son and his increasingly desperate attempts to pretend he didn't know what his friends have been up to. Warning: contains scenes of highly unbelievable excuses.

Great to see Blurt's Ted Milton getting his moment in the sun.

Thank goodness. This question affects us all in terms of #security and #defence.
Now, #BBCNews, over to you. This is where the journalistic resources of the world's leading #publicservicebroadcaster should be brought to bear. A real public service to so many.
Pretty jaw-dropping essay tying Epstein to pretty much every bad thing over the last 15 years.
Probably not all Epstein's fault, but it's clear that there is a small group of weirdoes on a project to reshape society according to their desires.
The Thiel visionβsmashing the nation-state and replacing it with a constellation of corporate micronations run & ruled like businessesβis one which is (sub/consciosuly) hegemonic among the UK political elite; see Darren Jones describing people engaging the state as 'customers' the other day.
