Truly frightening !!
Why did Epstein chose to cultivate Peter Thiel?

As he explains in 2009: ‘Thiel professes that he is unable to engage in what he terms "unacceptable compromise, politics", considers democracy a failed experiment drawing into doubt "the wisdom of granting women and the poor" voting rights.’

Wes Streeting's links with Peter Mandelson are extensive, with some in the past even saying that the disgraced former ambassador would have picked the Health Secretary for prime minister, had it been up to him

Alex Burghart MP has now called for a review of the circumstances around the award of Palantir's £240m defence contract, and asked why Mandelson's visit to Palantir's offices in Washington was kept off the books while the company was being represented by his firm, Global Council.

What core values are those then? I thought fairness, tolerance and honesty were some of them but I'm not seeing any from this government any more than I saw them from the previous ones. Or is it those values of rampant sexism, misogyny, racism and violence that we saw in the 70s and earlier?

The General Osteopathy Org of UK has put out a statement that Mandelson’s husband didn’t actually graduate & isn’t a qualified osteopath 🫤 www.osteopathy.org.uk/news-and-res...
Imagine Mandelson is under a lot of stress right now so just as well his husband is a trained osteopath.

Looks like Starmer wanted to find an experienced cesspit operator to work alongside Trump's cesspit government. And to hell with the consequences.

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.
