Robert Jenrick is lying.

Reform UK have spent, to date, almost Β£1.5 MILLION with Harding Print Solutions.

They are NOT a local Manchester printer.

They are Reform's go-to print company and have been for a long time.

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

There's a hell of a lot of corruption going on at Reform Co UK (see @reformexposed.bsky.social ) so it's a complete mystery why the media aren't covering this .
Oh no hang on I forgot - they want Fartage in power don't they?

Let God get this straight.

- In 2019 the Trump admin created a press release for Epstein’s death the day before he died.
- He allegedly died the next day.
- In 2026 the Trump admin released this info from the Epstein files.

Could it be any more obvious?

So let me get this straight. The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s β€œsuicide” dated August 9, 2019. He didn’t die until August 10. Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

While there is justified outrage about Mandelson, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor &others, the relentless media focus on Keir Starmer (who was NOT mentioned in any Epstein file) is overdone.
By contrast, no focus on Farage who WAS mentioned (and who, BTW, applauded the appointment of Mandelson)…

The thread from Mandelson to Epstein, Thiel and Putin is one that needs pulling till the whole tapestry of lies comes undone.
New on FT website:

Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February β€” ahead of it winning a Β£240mn UK government contract.

This is simultaneously (1) garbage: Labour has done nothing remotely as bad as the Tories' industrial scale VIP corruption and (2) proof:
of Labour's failure to understand, let alone address, the industrial scale lie-telling machine that is our media.

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister.

Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

Farage is named in the Epstein files, Starmer isn't, but somehow the media seem determined to force Starmer out. I wonder why?

Who is benefiting from the media frenzy about Starmer's error of judgement in Mandelson's short stint as Ambassador to the US. Because it certainly ain't us but somebody is benefiting from our attention being on a man who isn't mentioned in the Epstein files, any ideas.

A member of the Abu Dhabi royal family secretly invested $500 million into the Trump family’s crypto company, gaining a major ownership stake.

Months after inking the deal, the U.S. gave the UAE access to 500,000 advanced AI chips per year.

The corruption is breathtaking.
