Seems like a good time to mention the number of mentions Farage gets in the Epstein files, since this has been raised again by Kemi and her intrepid interviewer #R4Today

Any #Labour MP welcoming the departure of #McSweeney as a huge change in political direction is effectively agreeing that #Starmer is NOT a leader
… but we already knew that. He is #complicit in #Genocide because he is too compromised to do anything else
Emily Thornberry knows this.

Amol Rajan: You wrote a report about the power of lobbyists in our democracy. What happened to that report?
Gordon Brown: “It has been delayed for many years because lobbyists and their wealthy funders don’t like it”
In inverted comments because it’s what I heard, NOT what he said.

Police raided homes owned by #Mandelson, but what power do they have to search homes not owned by him but that perhaps he was permitted to use, frequently, by convicted dead multimillionaire paedophiles?
… or owned by his husband, seemingly a great friend of said paedophile?

I love Gordon Brown, but isn’t it sailing close to the wind to say “there is no doubt this would be seen as a financial crime if police were investigating it” when we already know police have raided #Mandelson’s homes and seized electronic media?
He has not been charged, but …🤔🤷♂️

#MariahCarey “stole the show” with her version of Volare?
Then why play a clip where she destroys it, losing the jaunty swing that makes it a popular singalong and an appropriate tune for a sporting event?
Why would anyone want to risk their life on a tea tray after that dirge?

Why report that #Trump claims to have watched “only the beginning” of a racist video?
The #WhiteHouse already said it was posted in error, by a staff member.
Are you suggesting someone lied?
I am.
And I don’t have insurance against being sued by a demented idiot #paedophile.

If you want to imply that #Mandelson meant something creepy when he recommended a holiday home where #Epstein could host “guests”, maybe you should say that the word “guests” was written in inverted commas?
You can see it in the script, but that doesn’t come across on the radio.

I didn’t catch the entire piece about the Wigan illegal waste dump.
Is that the one partly owned by #NotMyKing Charles?
The one he is refusing to help pay to clear up?

The idiot #Trump “posted a #racist video of the Obamas”?
Getting a bit brave, suddenly?
Do you think he has forgotten the $5billion, or is it just a case of hanging for a sheep, not a lamb?
Anyway, well done. Next thing you will be acknowledging #Genocide by #Israel.

The government, like Opposition MPs are unable to state the truth around Mandelson’s appointment. “In order to ingratiate ourselves with an adjudicated sex abuser, we had to appoint a man who was close to his friend, a convicted child sex abuser,” There it is. #r4today #Mandelson #Starmer

Why should we expect Team UK to do well at the #WinterOlympics?
Minimal competition means it is not hard to get into the national team, where expectations are low
Look good and have a sociable personality, though, and there is a well-paid job in the bloated #BBCSport presenter team.

#JustinWebb to Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler:

“Does the rhythm help you draw?”
“I haven’t a clue about any of this; please say something that suggests I have insight”
