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.

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