One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Well, yes.

Subjugation and creating a power network which is so insulated unto itself that it would be untouchable. Which is part and parcel of this whole sick project. Money protecting money.

The rich are projecting their own soft power, the message :

Peter Thiel celebrated Brexit with Jeffrey Epstein.

It was never about 'freeing' the UK.

It was about making it the USA's slave.

If you look at the men & the think tanks behind Brexit, it is the exact same men & the exact same think tanks behind Trump, and the exact same media too. Maybe one day people will see this.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social for heavens sake get some hard hitting responses and retaliations out. This is not normal. We can’t appease Trump. He needs to see strength. And for goodness sake fix the broken partnerships with the EU - we need each other. And enough with more US involvement in the UK.
This is what historian Robert Kagan on what it means for the world.

We’re responding to this crisis as if it’s just another crisis. It’s not. This is it. It’s the political crisis of our lifetimes. And how we respond in the US & UK & Europe is critical.
