Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Yes, he said Harry's risk level was very high BEFORE Oprah and Spare, nothing self-inflicted! And he highlighted the role if the British Media in very clear words. And the potential impact on brand Britain. His own risk level might have risen right now...

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

I noticed that too. And its not only a slightly more human way to see/show Harry, they also changed tunes to William. His new found laziness and the complaining neighbours of Forest Lodge? Interesting! Add the lengthy interview between Victoria Ward and Neil Basu - nothing less than stunning!

Yes, but how would that lady have found him to be in the right place in time? Who has the means to know in time where Harry would be? And who would have the financial means to hear Harry's in Nigeria and hop on a plane just so? Must be a well informed and rich lady.

Wonder how this woman could have known where to meet him. We all knew he would attend the WellChild Gala. But the rest of his itineray? Police would have known, he had to give notice 30 days in advance. And probably BP because they had to find a common time window for father and son to meet. Sooooo?

Wow! So much truth in one single interview. Deeply impressed in how clear and straight words a real pro/insider confirmed what Harry always told us for years!

An amazingly candid conversation with former UK Head of Counter Terrorism Neil Basu, who was on the RAVEC committee when the decision was made to remove Prince Harry’s police protection & believes it was done because they didn’t think Harry would leave.

Jeremy Vine believes the royal conflict started because William and Kate grew jealous of Harry and Meghan's popularity, which led them to share negative stories with the media.
