Lord Heseltine, "The number of people aged below 50 who think it was right for us to leave the European Union, is less than 20%

Bondi also wouldnβt answer whether sheβd seen photos of Trump in the Epstein files around half naked girls, as a witness alleged theyβd seen. She must resign.

The Sunday Times denies this - but has also campaigned against Leveson 2, which would have investigated it further. #TheHack
