Epstein scandal broadens as trove of letters from famous figures published New York Times reports on letters by Ehud Barak, Woody Allen and others written for Epstein’s 63rd birthday

When you read this bear in mind that Epstein’s 63rd birthday was in 2016 and his original conviction was in 2008, albeit for two offences. The 2007 indictment was for 60 offences, and the 2008 settlement for two offences is regarded as highly controversial

RFK Jr has been a liar for as long as I can remember.

Millionaire Tory Chris Philp says the solution to asylum seekers trying to work is to cancel their asylum application and to leave the ECHR.
As he goes home to privileged comfort, is he proud to have spent another day clamouring to deny the most vulnerable any dignity or control over their lives?

Noticing a pattern here.

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.

That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

🚨 Nigel Farage’s Reform UK just opened the floodgates to dark money in our politics by becoming the first UK party to accept untraceable crypto donations. That's why I've signed the petition to stop shady crypto donations flooding our politics. Will you join me?

President Trump, "The people of Gaza are not doing too well with food"

We left the Dublin Agreement through Brexit. We could legally return illegal migrants to the first safe country before we left.

Wonder why the delay? Could it be the 2026 election?

Prison bosses make room for possible influx before planned protests across England Exclusive: Possible arrests at protests against Palestine Action ban and asylum hotels likely to stretch prisons

Let's empty the jails so we can fill them with octogenarians who care about genocide.
Because that's the real threat to society.

What, Exactly, Is the ‘Russia Hoax’? To start with, it’s not a hoax.

The main thing you need to know about the "Russia hoax"? It's not a hoax

Today, the President went on CNBC and said:
— He won the 2020 election (he didn’t)
— His approval is at 71% (it’s not)
— The jobs numbers are rigged (they aren’t)
No joke. No punchline.
Just a dangerous man in power—lying without consequence.

Headline and first 2 paragraphs Migrants can use rights laws to evade deportation Loopholes could undermine treaty with France Matt Dathan Home Affairs Editor Small boat migrants will be able to frustrate attempts to deport them to France under Sir Keir Starmer's returns deal by exploiting human rights laws, according to the treaty's terms. Under the terms of the agreement with France, migrants will be ineligible for deportation if they have outstanding human rights claims or other legal challenges or claim they are under 18. These are among potential loopholes that threaten to undermine Labour's attempt to end Channel crossings. The treaty also gives France and other European Union member states an effective veto over which individuals are returned.

Just the supposed ‘paper of record’ bemoaning the fact that asylum seekers have *human* rights and may be able to enforce them. Accompanied - ultra cynically - by a photo of Human Rights lawyer, Amal Clooney, at a glamorous fundraiser. What a sly and deeply unpleasant rag The Times now is.

People are appallingly ignorant about immigration.

They don't understand basic things about "net immigration statistics" and have a completely warped sense of what is going on.

It is up to the government and the media to educate, but both are too busy batting their eyes at Nigel Farage's voters.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1655 of Private Eye magazine. The main headline reads "STARMER: UK WILL RECOGNISE PALESTINE." Below this is a photo showing a devastated urban landscape of destroyed buildings, over which a speech bubble from Benjamin Netanyahu in the foreground says, "No one will recognise Palestine after I've finished with it."

Starmer: UK will recognise Palestine

The new Private Eye is out now.

It's not coincidence. It's climate change.
Japan is surrounded by the most anomalously hot water on the planet right now. The city of Isesaki hit 107 - it's in a valley NW of Tokyo. 1/
