Damn, Bill Clinton just called Trump & Pam Bondi's bluff. Clinton released a statement calling on Bondi to release all of the Epstein files that mention him - including photos.
This is what a president with a spine looks like.
Meanwhile, Trump is having the FBI scrub his name from the files.

Very very good move!
Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

The elephant in British politics is Brexit’s cost on investment, wages and trade and the centre-left still treats Europe like a taboo. Streeting pushes customs union, Starmer says no. But if Labour cannot make Europe its answer to stagnation and right-wing fear, it will be outflanked again #rejoineu

This is important. Men like Mandelson and Mountbatten-Windsor have already been outed but, as well as Trump, there must be many, many more men who should be facing justice for raping children.

The only explanation for why Trump is willing to take such a huge political hit keeping these Epstein files hidden is bcuz he knows what’s in those files about him is really, really, really, really bad. That’s the only explanation for this massive Trump led coverup.

If anyone imagines that rejoiners will go silent and stop campaigning to rejoin, think again.

Hats off for all the good work the various European movements in UK did to make this happen.
This is what persistence looks like. Rejoining Erasmus+ shows that change is possible when people keep pushing for it, and it strengthens the case for going further in rebuilding our relationship with Europe.
UK to rejoin Erasmus+ in 2027
The government announced today that the UK will rejoin Erasmus+ in January 2027, unlocking millions of opportunities for young people.

It’s hard to hold your hand up and say you hate helping underprivileged children. Or don’t want to bring back youth clubs, or Best Start hubs. Difficult to say you don’t support workers or renters or the Hillsborough victims.
Much easier to say you hate a man. Hate Starmer. See it for what it is

I think this raises a really interesting question. If you are going to defeat populism through delivery you need to deliver things:
1. Which really matter to a lot of people; and
2. So incontestably that you overcome coordinated disinformation.
Dull but technically essential reform may not do that.

The fact the police are investigating Reform over alleged election overspend is potentially far more serious than you might imagine. If found guilty it could actually lead to a VOID election. Farage could lose his seat and be barred from office for 3 years and a by election could be called! 🤞

The current estimate is that £10.9billion was “wasted”. But we spent an estimated £29.3billion! Germany by comparison spent just £3.2billion. It’s also interesting to note that other countries, Germany, Spain, Italy et al are all looking at potential fraud and cronyism in connection with COVID.

Seen a lot of comments about Reform voters not caring what Farage said at school, which is probably true.
But you've also got to consider people who aren't going to vote Reform but you want to turnout or vote tactically against them.
