My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.
After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

Farage approved of Mandelson 🤔
"An intelligent figure who knows his brief well. While I’m not certain he’s the ideal fit for dealing with Trump directly, his intellect would at least command respect."

Also, the irony is that if Starmer(not in Epstein Files) goes, it may well usher in Farage, who is in the Files; who is a personal friend of a man who appears 6000 times in the Files and is a self confessed sexual assaulter; and whose party is funded by others also in the Files......

"Rhe only reason we know any of this [about Mandelson] is because Epstein became entangled in the MAGA movement’s narrative.

Epstein immediately began brokering a role for Mandelson at Deutsche Bank.

Understand Tories won't create or back a bill to remove Mandelson's peerage. There is unease among politicians in Westminster about the precedent of a government using its large majority to go after individuals, no matter how egregious. But mechanisms should still be there to expel him.
