“Firmly very much in favour. Brexit has been a disaster under any criteria, under any measure" - Zack Polanski

Files show Brexit was the outcome & instrument of a transnational network of oligarchs, data‑operation firms & authoritarian‑leaning actors. All stood to profit from destabilisation, low regulation, weak democratic checks

Do they have so little care for the future of the country that they're rejoicing at the way they destroyed him over a bacon sandwich?

Of all seven of the Nolan principles, openness can help build back the most trust.
Every MP, like me, should release logs of all lobbying meetings.
Keir Starmer is like a butcher who doesn't eat meat and doesn't want to know how sausages are made
He always gives me the impression that he thinks politics is somehow beneath him
"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense”
Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

The same Anas Sarwar who proudly posed with his 'old friend' years after everyone knew that Mandelson stuck with Epstein despite his conviction for child sex offences.
Starmer offered this himself in 2020 and should follow through, is my point
But I think I should have said that he supported electoral reform as you did
Why not keep the promises he made when he was elected Labour leader?
👌🏻Public ownership
👌🏻Scrapping tuition fees
👌🏻Higher taxes on the wealthy
👌🏻Free movement in the EU
This would be a pretty popular platform right now

How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?
We all know he is part of the boys' club inside Number 10 that denigrates women
And part of the macho culture that has always dominated the Labour Party

I think we can be sure that Epstein was basically working for himself but we need to know his connections for any national security services
Some authoritative references would be welcome if you can find them
Any links to sources you have for the money trail would also be welcome
But the Epstein scandal demonstrates how the personal is political
It reveals an international conspiracy of oligarchs to control money and power
The hollowing out of democracies across the world
And Putin as the probable master puppeteer

Accepts his mistake with dignity
Makes proposals to improve the health of our democracy
What a waste that the gutter press destroyed his chance to be our prime minister
