Also, and I can't stress this enough, Starmer is not in the Epstein files and Farage is: many, many, many times
Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister.
Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

✨John Ruskin described Lincoln Cathedral as “out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles.” Its grandeur is unmatched, but the medieval Romanesque details—like the west front door—feel truly otherworldly, as if from another planet. 🪐

Tangle of root & rock. Even now this hedge has long since bolted & turned into full size trees - less effective for containing livestock - it still exemplifies the beauty natural materials + human craft + wild plants + a truly incredible amount of rain can create. #Devon

Layers of history. The C14th crypt of Holy Trinity, Bosham (birth town of Harold Godwinson) has rib vaults made of Caen stone. Now a chapel it may have originally been a charnel house.

I was reminded of the original purpose of the C14th Barker Tower in York when sunlight cast a chain like shadow across its facade. It's original purpose was defensive and it held a chain that stretched across the Ouse. There is a reference in 1380 of a 'Keeper of the Chain'.
