Honestly, heβs not wrong β Mandelsonβs actions have long cast a shadow over Labour. From lobbying controversies to leaked advice, the damage to public trust has been real, and the partyβs reputation has taken a hit because of it.

I get the sentiment, but Ukraine isnβt βAmericaβs little sibling.β Itβs a fully sovereign country with its own history and struggles β admiring the U.S. is fine, but Ukraineβs path is its own.

If Epstein was passing market-moving goverment info straight to JP Morgan, nd Dimon was on d receiving end, itβs hard to see how heβs not being investigated. Either the system selectively shields powerful bankers, or something else is going on behind d scenes either way, it screams double standards.

Then you have the same hosts treating RFK Jr.βs actual diet comments β eating meat and fermented foods like yogurt β as if itβs suddenly serious commentary, which just shows how inconsistent the cultureβwar coverage can be.

people have been raising the alarm since 2022, calling for support not just out of goodwill but because a free Ukraine directly impacts global democracy and US interests. Itβs been clear from the start.

MPs often start with good intentions, but Westminsterβs setup forces compromises. A modern parliament in the North Midlands with proper facilities would be more functional and accountable, like Berlinβs Bundestag.

Burns was Bushβs ambassador to Russia, Obamaβs deputy secretary, now Bidenβs CIA director. If someone that senior had Epstein links, that shouldβve stopped his career, not boosted it. Same story with Clinton and Prince Andrew β power protecting power.

but I think itβs worth saying some do actually try to do the right thing β itβs just that the system crushes them or sidelines them so fast you barely notice. The problem isnβt just the people, itβs the structures that let the gravy train keep rolling.

when it starts feeling that big and that interconnected, the silence isnβt just weird, itβs alarming. Youβd think this would be front-page, nonstop coverage, not something people just move past like itβs normal.

Itβs infuriating, right? Youβd expect at least some accountability a resignation, a demotion, something. But instead, itβs just the same old boysβ club shielding each other. It really makes you question whether the system is ever going to hold anyone responsible.
