Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Brexit has brought no benefits and left the UK exposed in the era of tariffs and trade wars.
Farage and Tories lied about Brexit.
Govt can get economic growth by rejoining the EU. Our future is in Europe, not in being the 51st state.
Both Farage and a load of disaster capitalist benefited.

These days I worry that Iโm becoming a conspiracy theorist. I look around me, look at survey data then at the political landscape and am convinced that something is very very wrong
UK Ministers to crack down on profiteering in care sector.
Promise made over a year ago. No legislation.
Corporations are profiteering everywhere - water, energy, mail, healthcare, dentists, banking, vets ...
Political parties funded by corporations, don't bite the hand that feeds them.
I think Barry Gardener expressed it well when talked of a strata of grandees at the top of the party. They all need clearing out Mc Sweeney alone would fix whatโs wrong

This is public posturing, isn't it.
For years they used Mandelson to gain political advantage despite his history - forced to resign as minister, ambassador, his links with Epstein were known.
Now trying to reinvent themselves.
A rare thing these days - something to make you smile ๐

William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them.
They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear.

This is despite his past misbehaviour.

England's water companies have 1,200 criminal convictions.
They lose a trillion litres of water to leaky pipes. Dump sewage in rivers for 4m hours. Customers fleeced.
None has its licence revoked. No exec prosecuted. Corporate fines are not collected
