Sir Ed Davey just asked in the Commons whether Starmer is concerned that Epstein may have been sharing secret documents from Mandelson with the Russians
Poland will launch an investigation into possible links between the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Russian intelligence, as well as any impact on Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday.

Brexit really was sticking it to the elites wasn’t it 🙃
1. This 2016 exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel is so essential, really gets to the heart of Epstein's project.
Epstein: brexit, just the beginning.
Thiel: Of what?
Epstein: return to tribalism... finding things on their way to collapse , was much easier than finding the next bargain

Reform and Farage still VERY quiet on Epstein, especially as it centres on three things they seem to talk about all the time; 1) elitism 2) political scandal 3) female abuse
Something that I’ve found curious, the whole Epstein story is the pinnacle of the elites vs. everyone else argument, yet in the UK, Reform, who’s whole schtick claims to be about railing against elites, don’t go near it. Ultimately I think it’s quite obvious why, but still, quite interesting
Beyond the particulars, the Epstein files massively corrode trust in elites and political institutions. They consolidate two suspicions among the public. 1/3

I love pubs as much as anyone, and they do seem to need much more help from government, but increasing child poverty as a trade off to support pubs is legitimately insane. Why is this presented as a choice?!
NEW: Reform UK says it would re-impose the two-child benefit cap - scrapped by Labour - for most families to fund £3bn support package for pubs.

It’s undoubtedly fair to question Starmer’s judgement over Mandelson, but as before, he was selected BECAUSE of who he is, not in spite of it. The choice was made because the assumption was Trump would like someone grubby with whom he had mutual acquaintances. We should at least recognise that

Without a weighty Le Carré novel behind it, there were fears the steamy, stylish spy series would feel phoned in. We needn’t have worried – it’s been a delight

I hate the captive princess narrative so much. It tends to be applied disproportionately to women who are considered conventionally attractive, eg Melania Trump. The fact is that women who choose to marry awful men are usually awful themselves. That’s why they like those men. Adult women have agency
I would like everyone to understand that Talulah Riley was with Elon Musk because she wanted to be there and they had much in common. She was not some poor put upon woke darling trapped with a monster.

look, I sent a few emails to Jeffrey Epstein begging to let me come and party on his island with young women, but please don't read anything into that. It was perfectly innocent and my enemies will misconstrue it deliberately because they are jealous of how cool and funny I am.

Pep is an especially weird bloke when he’s looking for an argument with the reporter post-match. It’s not his fault your team binned off a two goal lead mate

More evidence of online brain rot. It's only the sort of thing you would think if algorithms are constantly pumping stuff like this your way. You wouldn't have a normal conversation along these lines.
The weirdest conspiracy theory of all is that 15 minute city thing. Why would anyone not want 15 minute cities? I mean you can still live in the countryside if you want but all villages, towns and cities should have amenities within 15 mins.

I do hope the government look again at student loans, there is absolutely nothing wrong or unfair asking people to take on debt through a loan to go and study. But to then earn 50/60/70k+ and for the loan to essentially not reduce beyond the amount it was when they graduated, this is just absurd

Is it a good use of VAR to work out who to red card after a scuffle 4 mins after you’ve already played the allotted 5 mins injury time. I don’t think so

Well, I enjoyed that. Honestly, you have to enjoy every minute of games like that, you don’t get many!! Absolutely obliterated Bristol City. What a performance all over the pitch. The job Eustace has done in a year is incredible. The quality and work rate in this team looks great #dcfc #dcfcfans

At the risk of pointing out the blindingly obvious, what did Trump expect when the US started treating Canada, UK and the EU appallingly. Hard to see if this is just failing US diplomacy or Trump is so blinded by his bullying tactics he can’t see it
Q: What do you think the UK getting into business with China?
TRUMP: It's very dangerous for them to do that, and it's even more dangerous for Canada to get into business with China. Canada is not doing well. They're doing very poorly. And you can't look at China the answer.

Those who go to university end up massively subsidising those who don't, and crushing graduates with enormous debt is a ridiculous false economy.
