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.

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.

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.
