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.

- Reposted by John SandyAnyone who thinks what's happening is the worst political scandal this century, in this country should take a stroll down to the Covid Memorial Wall.
- Reposted by John SandyYes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.

- Reposted by John SandyThere’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 John SandyPeter Mandelson was directly involved in helping Morgan McSweeney select Labour’s parliamentary candidates ahead of the 2024 general election. This is despite his past misbehaviour. It was all part of the purge of the left and push Labour to the right. archive.ph/FXGiY

- Reposted by John SandyNigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer... The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit. This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

- Reposted by John SandyLet’s clarify this. Steven Bannon takes Epstein‘s money to fund far right activities in Europe which Nigel Farage attends & benefits from but the UK media have decided that this isn’t worth mentioning or investigating.

- Nige in his natural habitat there. A pub bore telling anyone who listen his opinion of the day. Won’t even buy you a pint let alone “save our pubs”.
- Reposted by John Sandyyou could argue that this project - nine series (three more to be announced soon!), financially silo'd from each other - is hyperindividual, per @suw.bsky.social's excellent critique BUT if we get 48 eps funded, we are launching a podcast feed to house all of the series, one after the other 1/3

- Reposted by John SandyI'll just add, as someone who's been doing investigative reporting for decades, all publications doing real journalism (i.e., not a sockpuppet or Some Guy on the Internet)--they have MANY layers of editorial & legal review. Every major investigation I've done has had EVERY WORD checked many times.

- Reposted by John Sandylast dressing down I got from Monkey Cage execs on day I resigned was for a Bluesky comment on some of the sexual abusers who had been close to Prince Charles - Mountbatten, Van Der Post, Peter Ball - I didn’t do it to be sensational, I did it because it shows how abuse is just ignored by power
- Reposted by John SandyIt's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

- Reposted by John SandyThe man behind donations of £200,000 to Reform is a church warden from Potters Bar, who just happens to work for a billionaire from Kazakhstan. But it's definitely not money laundering or interference in UK politics by a foreign national.

- Reposted by John SandyOh. My. God. Chomsky talking about the 'hysteria' that has developed about the abuse of women and giving Epstein advice on how to handle the media. In 2019. The Media studies discipline and much of the left should reflect on the power given to this one flawed man to shape generations of thought.
