FAO our PM: your may argue that you didn't recognise the 'depth & darkness' of the relationship between #Mandelson & #Epstein but your failure to see the 'depth and darkness' of Mandelson himself demonstrates an unacceptable naïveté and lack of political nous on your part. Your days are numbered.

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.
It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

It's good to see that Sen McConnell has health coverage that allows him to check himself into hospital with flu-like symptoms without financial worry but as a Republican Senator his lifelong crusade to ensure that all American have the same gold-plated access will mean his conscience is clear.
