Breaking: the head of DOGE in Kent has resigned.

My impression of Matthew was that he was a decent man leading a fundamentally ill-conceived project.

Give this lady some chocolate and give her someone to talk to who will sympathise with her
This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

It’s clear we need a full statutory inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein’s ties with the British political establishment and the impact on his victims, including the disgraceful leaks from Peter Mandelson at the very top of government and the impact on national security.

Just as with Donald Trump, the Prime Minister approached negotiations with China from a position of weakness, not strength.

The Government should be focusing on the closest possible ties with our European and Commonwealth allies, and other nations that share our values.

The last thing you want to see is a random 'Facebook memory' from the past without any notice. It could be past relationship that you'd rather forget. A pet that you no longer have. Or a job you failed to get.

Mothers Army initiative was not a registered charity

Sarah Ferguson could have used it to enhance paid media appearances, consultancy, or endorsements linked to the 'Mother’s Army” concept

The activity could remain unpaid, but feed a monetised personal brand

Let's be quite clear about this Sarah Ferguson didn't just ask for advice about setting up her charity from Epstein (after he was convicted and was still in prison)

In a second separate sentence she asked for "help"

I think any reasonable person would infer "Help" = £££
