- Reposted by Mark BreezeI loved reading the Washington Post and as a young trainee journalist met my hero Ben Bradlee … then interviewed him when I was working for the BBC in Washington - this is a very sad moment for journalism. And for America.

- Reposted by Mark BreezeOk UK media - oh so scandalised by Mandelson - when are you going to be scandalised by US interference in our democracy? Epstein, Farage, Bannon, Vance, Thiel, Musk, Trump, Brexit, Heritage Foundation, the funding of far right populism to collapse our govts….?? After you’ve helped their collapse?
- Reposted by Mark BreezeNo joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Reposted by Mark Breeze💥 GOOD. Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition… …after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir… …while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts… Stinks.
- Reposted by Mark BreezeTrump is a vile racist bully We should all condemn this without hesitation. But something tells me Farage will find a way to make excuses for his best mate Trump. I hope I’m wrong.
- Reposted by Mark BreezeThis one wrote in contemplation of his death. “I decided to become a journalist because I truly believed that by reporting rigorously & honestly, we could improve this world. I still believe it now.“ The decline of standards in public life is reflected in journalism decline & is part of the cause.
- A proper journalist leaves a legacy letter. Many practitioners of ‘journalism’ should remind themselves of the standards of their profession. You know who you are: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- Reposted by Mark BreezeThe very fact that so many countries are acting on the Epstein fall out throws the USA’s lack of action relating to their cohort involved in the stink into stark relief. It looks ridiculous, weak and corrupt.

- I just signed a petition calling for an urgent investigation into Peter Mandelson's dealings with Palantir. Did he use his position as UK Ambassador to benefit the US spy tech firm? Sign now: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/ma...

- Reposted by Mark BreezeIt’s outrageous. Genuinely. What TF is going on? You simply can’t be acting in good faith if you’re calling for Starmer to go while free-passing Farage into power.
- Reposted by Mark BreezeThere’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 Mark BreezeWhy are the names of those who sent these emails to Epstein redacted?
- Reposted by Mark Breeze🤢 FIVE WINNERS. MILLIONS LOSERS. 🚨Brexit beneficiaries: Johnson - PM Farage - fame Putin - a weaker UK Epstein - ??? Steve Bannon - Far right Growth Everyone else got higher prices, fewer rights, and a divided country.
- Reposted by Mark BreezeHeads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3
- Reposted by Mark BreezeI've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!" No. No, you wouldn't. We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors. Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

- Reposted by Mark BreezeIs anyone else absolutely blindsided by how bad the Epstein shit is? I mean I knew he was a nonce, but then it became a kompromat thing, now there’s pictures of him with Bannon? Then he’s taking UK state intel?! A raging force behind Brexit/Populism?! And still 3m more files to go 😳

- Reposted by Mark BreezeIf I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city like Southend loses its university? Loss of education, reskilling, social mobility, exports, contribution to local economy and hope. 40-45% of universities in crisis, caused by govt policies.

- Reposted by Mark BreezeWhy do people vote for Reform or MAGA? Because it’s politics on easy mode. It’s all about big feelings, not facts. Scared or angry people that are running on emotion are easier to fool and control. A brief explainer…

- Reposted by Mark BreezeJust as with Donald Trump, the Prime Minister approached negotiations with China from a position of weakness, not strength. The Government should be focusing on the closest possible ties with our European and Commonwealth allies, and other nations that share our values.
- Reposted by Mark BreezePalantir software is now the basis of the Government's fraud reporting service. So it now handles sensitive financial data for millions of UK citizens. Plus NHS data. Plus military analytics. Plus policing. And, of course, it's quite explicitly far right in its politics. What could ever go wrong?
