- Reposted by DymvueI’m thinking of another wronged woman today. Sue Gray. Downing St began to fall apart after an experienced dedicated civil servant was ousted for Morgan McSweeney. She opposed Mandelson’s appointment.

Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

- Reposted by DymvueThe thing is there has been this tendency in the last few years for leaders to have not been in the Commons for very long before they become party leader. Starmer had only been an MP for 5 years when he became leader. Sunak 7. This is unusual historically. 1/

- Reposted by DymvueNigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister. Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

- Reposted by DymvueOK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??
- Reposted by DymvueMost of our media is studiously ignoring the Epstein links to Brexit, Farage and far right populism. Farage is being touted for No.10. He wants an even more extreme Brexit. A race to the bottom to sell us out to this global network of oligarch crooks. Why TF isn’t he being investigated and stopped?

- Unconvinced. Starmer would have known Mandelson was in the same social orbit as Trump and thus likely to have good access to the President. Power and influence rate more highly in politics than abused women. Sadly.
- Reposted by DymvueThere’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit. Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

- Reposted by DymvueI'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

- Reposted by DymvueKudos to Andrew Marr for pointing out the elephant in the room. There's now a heap of evidence that Epstein was working hand in glove with Putin's regime. And with the Putin-aligned far right in Europe & the UK. He was a lynchpin in this global network of fascist kleptocracy.
