Sounds very much like junior ministers heads must roll over the Mandelson affair. Ironic if the Epstein files take down Starmer and not Trump.
A Book by Enid Blyton titled Five Go Mad on Kharg Island. It features Donald Trump, JD Vance, Benjamin Netanyahu, Caroline Leavitt and Pete Hegseth rowing away from a nuclear mushroom cloud over Kharg Island
Well, at least the coming nuclear war over Iran has inspired Enid Blyton to come out of retirement. Five Go Mad on Kharg Island.

Liz Truss has found her people. The former PM appeared last week at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Grapevine, Texas.
Despite addressing a small crowd, away from the main hall, surrounded by merch stalls, she announced she is bringing CPAC to the UK this year.

The Spectator: In praise of the gilet.
If there’s one thing I have learned in this life, it’s that The Spectator is wrong about absolutely everything.
Yeah, who needs reporter-led newsrooms? Sigh.
*facepsalm*
So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money.
So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK?

This is an extraordinary saga that Sunder is pursuing indefatigably. The BBC has repeatedly tried to excuse itself from responsibility for allowing Nigel Farage to lie egregiously about immigration without challenge. It is illustrative of a much wider malaise & so very important. Thank you, Sunder.

I’ve been writing about Eid, London, the far right and Dorothy Thompson over on Medium.
“Two men in kurta debate the best vermicelli and Korean noodles.
As replacement theories go, it is quite radical.”

Wrote something about London on Eid eve to the backdrop of Nick Timothy's drivel. Features a 6/10 Guinness, Sharia law and Korean noodles. medium.com/@iainaitch/w... as well as a piece of journalism I also heard @mrjamesob.bsky.social reference yesterday.

“Imagine a sports bar but it’s fucking terrible” is quite the pitch
Wait until he sees Trafalgar Square during Christmas, Hanukkah, Holi, Lunar New Year, PRIDE, Vaisakhi and the passion of Jesus.
Traflgar Square really is for everyone.
Nick Timothy either knows that and is deliberately stirring up hatred or he isn’t that bright.
Either way, he should do better.
Open Iftar project has held events in Trafalgar Square since 2019. Eg: 2023. Easter, Chanukah Diwali + Vaisakhi also marked annually at Trafalgar Square.
Nick Timothy - the Shadow Lord Chancellor - says "it shouldn't happen again" claiming it was "an act of domination and therefore division"
Taking my ball and going home energy from Trump here
The United States has been informed by most of our NATO "Allies" that they don't want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon. I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year protecting these same Countries, to be a one way street - We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need. Fortunately, we have decimated Iran's Military - Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again! Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer "need," or desire, the NATO Countries' assistance - WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
#Trump: we asked for #NATO’s help. They said “don’t want to get involved” but we don’t want or need them. We never did. I’m the president of the most powerful country anywhere in the world WE DONT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE.
[so there]
This is absolutely fascinating. My beloved pal Sarah being brilliant about the effect of wealth on poverty.
I see the papers which screamed ‘tAKe bACK ConTRol’ now want the UK to be nothing but an obedient servant of the USA
A screenshot of Google's AI Overview answer to the question "is haggis an animal". It says "Yes, the haggis is a small, furry mammal native to Scotland" and goes on to give the typical "asymmetrical legs" details.

You're not a "true entrepreneur" unless you make sure other people bear the weight of your losses.
You can dispute the accuracy of the poll while still disagreeing with the sentiment of the statement. Or you can throw a massive huff like he does here.
