“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.”

Works for me.

Vermont US Representative Becca Balint being interviewed by Drop Site News shortly after reviewing more, unreleased Epstein files saying
"They're all a bunch of sick fucks"

A sleazy, corrupt, crime ridden America (and that's just the government), is not 'Great', quite the opposite. Wake up Trump voters.

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.

But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.

Richard Tice pulled out.
Farage won’t face me.
Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.

Vote Green.

If he defines 'illegal' that way then someone should remind him he is 'illegal' too seeing as he stole the land from its original inhabitants.

I’m so inspired by these young people right here in Claremont and across the country who are coming together to stand up against Trump's authoritarianism. Together, we will continue to stand up for our rights, dignity, and safety. claremont-courier.com/schools/the-...

I would happily pay more tax to see all student loans written off and the system abolished. Young people should not be carrying a burden like this and university should not be about fuelling capitalism while making students financial prisoners to the system. That’s my unpopular opinion for today.

No-one seems to have noticed, but many of the core developments in the Mandelson/Epstein story these last few days have been broken on this website. @pickardje.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social are both posting each breaking development on BlueSky, not X.

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one.

Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.

Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Peter Mandelson. And I fully understand the lessons we must learn Wes Streeting

This is the funniest headline I seen in a long time. And bravo to whoever underlined the desperation with the juxtaposed link.

Anas Sarwar, long-term ally of Peter Mandelson, is going to call for his long-term ally Keir Starmer, long-term ally of Peter Mandelson, to resign over hiring Peter Pandelson.

I'm not convinced I understand the thinking going on here but I'm interested in where they think they're going with it.

Ha! Well worth a read. We really do need to rethink #AI.

Have a feeling any ruthlessy ambitious contenders are going to cancel themselves out! Something to do with being ruthlessly ambitious, I guess, which is where all this started. bsky.app/profile/tris...

Yes - I think they will all end up cancelling themselves, and each other, out! bsky.app/profile/tris...

Have a feeling they will all end up cancelling themselves out!

Really do hope they finally get rid of all the Blair/Mandelson remnants. The party did not win the last election because of them, it won because the hope was for something different, not the same old, same old. Hope that will start now.

Hoping too for a clean sweep but the sight of Jacqui Smith being sent out to do the media rounds isn't looking too hopeful.
