^^ Just in regards to "Pervy Mandelson" - in his defence, I don't think there's any suggestion that he took part in any of the abuse/traffiking if only because he's been openly gay for decades.
As to "allegations which I believe to be false", that's one of the weirdest defences ever. Even if it was twenty years ago, I would absolutely remember if someone had or had not put $75k in my bank account - there would be no doubt about it. Always found him to be an odd choice as ambassador to the US if only because (To the best of my knowledge) the ambassador has always been someone who's a career diplomat and then suddenly it's a guy who's already twice had to resign from government positions due to being caught doing something he shouldn't have.

I reckon that someone who can find 1,000+ underaged girls for his clients wouldn't hypothetically have any trouble finding boys in the same age range for someone transferring tens of thousands to his accounts.

Yeah, can't really argue with that.

Snopes says it's more AI bullshit...

Don't fall for this image of Epstein with Nigel Farage

The image circulated following the U.S. Department of Justice's release of over 3 million files related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Not even that.
Him protesting his ignorance of Epstein's crimes because of his sexual orientation is like saying a vegan can't have been present at a barbecue.

Since the new consensus is that it was nothing but a huge Russian-kompromat scheme, why don't they simply raid the Russian embassy?

If your keeping up, a mid level labour scottish leader, said Starmer has to go.

No 10 then threatened all ministers with the sack, if they didnt send messages of support for Starmer. Messages duly sent.

Starmer's ultimate power, is that he can dissolve parliament, which means a new election......

Nigel Farage and Reform are any viable options as PM and to form a government?

Personally don’t hold a grudge against one of the Brexit architect though it is criticized today by some of our British members here. Immigration went up, inflation also. To his defense though; Covid and Ukraine passed by and said hello world…

 

[TheKiwi]

I don't think Farage could organise a beer and a BJ in a brothel with a bar. But there are at least a number of ex-conservative members in his party that at least have experience in being part of a government - even if that government were some of the flakiest in modern British history.
