U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Trump is widely seen as hugely unpopular in Europe. However, if you compare him to national leaders, Trump is actually more popular than Starmer in the UK and Macron in France. Not a direct comparison, of course, but a side result of the unpopularity of Macron and Starmer.
