Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files.

What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable?

We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Reform would scrap lower-speed limits, tighter drink-drive legislation, and the NHS - their single hope is whipping up immigration hatred will override people’s safety concerns for family, friends, & their community

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.

Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.

Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.

We know why.

RFK Jr. and his henchmen are going to take away every single vaccine that they can.

I don’t know why some people to continue to be in denial about this.

They. Will. Take. Away. Every. Single. Vaccine. They. Can.

And Republicans support this.

Can’t believe that the guy who ran for president on a racist lie is tweeting out conspiracy theories, and racist pictures of the Obamas. He’s told us who he is again and again for the last decade.

JWST has confirmed this galaxy, MoM-z14, as the most distant one yet studied. We're seeing it as it was 13.5 billion years ago, 98% of the way back to the beginning of time.

The entitlement is astonishing. Why should he be shielded?
BREAKING: Peter Mandelson just sent this secret notice to all UK media, demanding they leave him alone.

He uses IPSO clauses designed to support grieving families in a bid to stop scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein

I don’t want to depress you all but the entire media and political class will have moved on from this latest Trump racist outburst by tomorrow, Monday at the very latest. He gets away with it every time - because he is allowed to get away with it, and because he floods the zone.

One of the things we learned during our High Court case against Reform is its propensity, nakedly and without embarassment, to lie. Only the blissfully naive would take its explanation for this at face value.

When Starmer goes - by the weekend? - who's the Stop Streeting candidate?

I guess it's probably Rayner.

She's a bit tarnished and compromised but she'd knock spots off Badenoch and Farage. Trump would hate her so much.
