@LNallalingham I’m not a donor to the Green Party - so why should anyone believe a word Lee Nallalingham says?

A bleak and powerful piece on Epstein by Amelia Gentleman - read it and see the extreme sexism of that (small?) world. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…

Doesn’t Starmer’s repeated reference to ‘working people’ exclude all those who for whatever reason are not working? Do they not matter anymore? Perhaps they never did.

The new US special relationship with their allies…. Really? We’re doing this?

@POTUS It’s true. I met President Carter only once, and he unexpectedly sent me a very kind condolence letter years later, when my father died. I think of him with great affection. RIP.

Wow. This is pretty cool. David Lammy seriously challenging the Londongrad stereotype. I’m impressed.
