Those are the hardest working scare quotes in the business.
What is the goddamn bar for calling something racist without qualification if monkey videos don’t make the cut?

Perhaps Trump wanted to remind people that he’s a racist so they’d stop talking about him being a rapist.

There is a direct line from this to the American president posting racist slop about Barack Obama
Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963.
The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

I understand Labour's political opponents acting as if it was Starmer himself who had maintained a friendship with Epstein, but not Labour MPs and members.
Labour MPs are advising each other not to go away over February recess, so quickly could the end come for Starmer

He's "dead in the water," says another senior MP

Starmer’s decision to appoint Mandelson was a bad one. He’s paying a price for that now. But where was the outrage at the time?

The question that people who believe the PM should go need to ask themselves is whether they've simply got used to having a new PM every year or so - because I detect a strain of that in our media.
Boris had seriously-questionable associations (e.g., Lebedev). Our media chuckled.

So, the party that chose Boris Johnson as it's Leader are now paragons of a decent and respectful UK?
Keir Starmer will try to move on from the Mandelson scandal by making a speech calling for a "tolerant, decent and respectful" UK.
The Tories say "it’s hard to overstate the absurdity" of him doing so given he made Mandelson our ambassador to America.

Weird and almost universal revisionism today. Even at the time, it was pretty clear that Mandelson wasn't appointed *despite* his dodgy links but *because* of them. Trump's Washington is a dirty swamp. Mandelson was deemed a man able to swim in it. This wasn't a secret. Everybody said it out loud.

Although there will of course be commentary on the political fallout of the Epstein files, as that will likely be consequential, the number one focus and priority must be absolutely clear: the industrial scale abuse of women and girls by powerful, rich men.
