@bbcnickrobinson why does mass production of chickens “have to happen somewhere”? Why can’t people eat less chicken? The entire system’s mad on every level - environmental, health, and ethics. @BBCr4today

@LeeDavidEvansUK @adamboultonTABB The man is a god. Wise, kind, incredibly well informed and a model for how to live a public life. Westminster’s pygmies could learn a huge amount from him.

[James Hanning @GJamesHanning]

@Peston Yeah, yeah. But why no mention, nor on the BBC this morning, of Morgan McSweeney, the man who most wanted Mandy to get the job? Was he in the chain of events?

@MarioNawfal Macron’s reply is both él��gant and à la hauteur. Hats off. History will struggle to believe the lunacy we are living through.

Ir is the “uneducated” element that scares me as much as the bigot, Trump simply knows nothing. He is being cheered by too many UK editors who hate our PM more than him…. but these editors have let the country down so many times… they backed Brexit…they created it… and this is the truth. It is a long time since we have editors educated in economics.

Personal View: BBC journalism is disgracefully maligned by my old newspaper world, by Trump and commercially-focussed idealogues, yet here at home I just watched @BowenBBC on Iran, followed by @FrankRGardner, followed by the wonderful @VitalyBBC from Kyiv…. I was in US last week… let me tell you NO news organisation is as good as this, no journalists as clear and free, the new DG needs to fill the newsroom with confidence and….defiance…. it is time to wave the BBC flag.

Former UK Ambassador drops a massive truth bomb: Iran was observing the 2015 nuclear deal to the letter. Trump sabotaged it purely on Israeli advice, and the claims that Iran was cheating are absolute lies debunked by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

BREAKING: Massive Jeffrey Epstein BOMBSHELL drops as the pedophile's personal accountant reveals that Epstein's estate paid off one of Donald Trump's accusers.

This isn't a smoking gun, it's a smoking cannon....

Richard Kahn, who served as Epstein's accountant, testified before the House Oversight Committee earlier today. He worked with the billionaire predator for over a decade, offering him unique insight into his shady operations and business practices.

While more details will be released at a later date, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam took to X to share his notes from the deposition. He revealed that Kahn mentioned five "rich and powerful" parties who bankrolled Epstein's operations: Les Wexner, Glenn Dubin, Steven Sinofsky, the Rothschilds, and Leon Black. Kahn also mentioned former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak as having close financial ties to the pedophile.

"A Trump accuser has received $ from the survivor fund managed by Kahn," wrote Subramanyam.

"Guys like Kahn enable billionaires like Epstein to get away with crimes the other 99.9% of Americans couldn't," he added.

If Trump is innocent like he insists, why would his best friend Epstein being paying out money to his accuser? The answer is obvious. Trump is a serial sexual predator and pedophile.

The congressmen went into more detail when speaking with reporters—

“Another person who was an accuser of Donald Trump was given a settlement by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. We did confirm that,” he said. When asked for more details, he demurred and said that it would be best to wait for the release of the transcript.

“We wanted to confirm that certain accusers had received settlements, and he confirmed that," he explained.

We already know that Trump's name is all over the Epstein files and he has been accused of heinous sexual abuse and rape. In one particular case, he was accused by a woman of sexually abusing her when she was only 13-years-old. Her allegation was so credible that the FBI interviewed her four times. Pam Bondi's Justice Department tried to bury the interviews, but they were eventually uncovered.

Enough is enough. An exhaustive investigation must be launched immediately and this accountant must be forced to reveal everything that he knows.

Please ❤️ and share to demand that Kahn be forced to reveal

Pope Leo XIV’s Vatican newspaper is the only publication in the Western world to run the photograph of 150 Iranian girls' graves — killed in President Trump's military strikes — on its front page.

Poor Sir Keir, his experience of Manhattan limited, is learning how impossible New Yorkers can be if they have taken the hump. Best thing is to leave them to their own devices for a few weeks. They'll be perfectly friendly next time they need a favour.

@LizWebsterSBF @GeorgeMonbiot Of course Monbiot is on the money on this. What is shocking is not (just) what he describes but that this is so little known and understood - including in the White House, one suspects.
