- Reposted by Kate MartinHey @thetimes.com what is ’racism’ - surely depicting the Obamas as monkeys is just old fashioned racism?

He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I think that’s a huge step” Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda says she “commends” Sir Keir Starmer for apologising to fellow survivors for the appointment of Peter Mandelson as UK Ambassador to the US. #Newsnight

- Reposted by Kate MartinHave written about a week where the hypocrisy of much of the media was laid bare (and address mine). I also write about the truth Starmer cannot say: he appointed Mandelson to the court of Trump not in spite of the Epstein connection but in a sense, because of it. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...
- Reposted by Kate MartinEpstein managed different networks. The UK media has rightly centred the powerful pedophile ring. It has maintained an uncanny silence about the global, anti-democratic, far right political network. Farage is up to his neck in it. If it weren’t for unprecedented double standards it’d be career over.

- Reposted by Kate MartinIt is refreshing (if also depressing) to see a journalist honest enough to recognise what the Mandelson appointment and defenestration tells us about our media and our politics.
- "Starmer didn't pick Mandelson in spite of his Epstein connections… He picked him because of them." Would he have made the same choice if Kamala Harris had won? "Absolutely not", says @lewisgoodall.com.
- Reposted by Kate MartinRemember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.
- Reposted by Kate MartinThis is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

- Reposted by Kate MartinOne important side effect of Mandelson's fall: a proper investigation into, and pushback against, Russian influence in UK politics may now be more possible. It's long overdue.
- Reposted by Kate MartinFor years, the UK has been allergic to talking about the issue of Russian influence in its politics, partly because neither of the traditional main parties has historically spotless on the issue of relations with Russian oligarchs.

- Reposted by Kate MartinThe behaviour of those British people associated with Epstein was absolutely despicable - but where are those Americans associated with Epstein being held accountable for their behaviour? There’s something very big missing here.

- Reposted by Kate MartinSo true. Also, many of the Americans doing literally nothing about Epstein’s American ‘associates’ are precisely the ones lying about Europe & particularly the UK being overrun with child-rapists. It’s insane.
- This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

- Reposted by Kate MartinLook, I know there's a lot going on in the news right now. But the MPC decision today was actually quite interesting! They were only one vote away from delivering a cut that wasn't on the cards at all, and they now think inflation will not just drop sharply this year but stay low. Thread below ⤵️

- Reposted by Kate MartinYes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.

- Well done the @financialtimes.com for outing Mandelson as a sleazy traitor. Can the media give full focus to the victims of child sexual abuse? Find the abusers? That's it. @vicderbyshire.bsky.social has 2 emails detailing child sexual abuse. The abusers names are redacted. Go after them.

- Well done @vicderbyshire.bsky.social for focusing on the real victims. She seems like a lone voice standing up for the real victims, the young girls who were sexually abused. Where are the rest of the media? Playing at political dramas. Yes Mandelson but also more focus on finding the abusers.
- Reposted by Kate MartinNBC News's Tom Llamas did an hour-long interview with Trump filled with softballs & filled with Trump lies that he didn't challenge. Worst of all, he did not ask 1 single question to Trump about the Epstein files & the 38,000 references to Trump. Our mainstream media is broken. Subscribe to Zeteo.
- Reposted by Kate MartinJuxtaposition. The UK government might be brought down by the Epstein files. We're now even talking of the Mandelson files. But the us president - a self confessed sex predator and named extensively in the Epstein files - wants everyone to move on and the US right will let him.
- Reposted by Kate MartinGood letter(Times) Starmer made a grave error of judgement… But what was Farage’s threat of Trump imposing tariffs on us over free speech bullshit? Or his mate,Gill,taking Russian bribes? Or his links to crypto, Brexit and profiteering deregulation? Just if we’re actually serious about any of this…
- Reposted by Kate MartinOK 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??
