Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

@conor64 @TomiLahren Thank you, and you left out the no small matter of a year of insults threats and betrayal towards the European allies.

[Lander @LanderLo]

@DavidKrae @mysteriouskat Peter Boghossian not understanding Europe's anger at the Greenland invasion threats can't be considered sane. I don't know if it was just momentary TDS (as TDS should be used), but I can't be bothered with that dishonesty.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

“The East reveres Buddha, the West reveres Christ. Both taught love as the secret of wisdom. The earthly life of Christ was contemporary with that of the Roman Emperor Tiberius, who spent his life in cruelty and disgusting debauchery and perversion. Tiberius had pomp and power; in his day millions trembled at his nod. But he is forgotten.

Those who live nobly, even if in their day they live obscurely, need not fear that they will have lived in vain. Something radiates from their lives, some light that shows the way to their friends, their neighbours perhaps to long future ages. I find many people nowadays oppressed with a sense of impotence, with the feeling that in the vastness of modern societies there is nothing of importance that the individual can do. This is a mistake.

The individual, if he is filled with love of mankind, with breadth of vision, with courage and with endurance, can do a great deal. Every one of us can enlarge our mind, release our imagination, and spread wide our affection and benevolence. And it is those who do this whom ultimately humankind reveres.”

He blew himself up and stopped the Russian advance on Henichesk.

Marine Vitalii Skakun was killed on February 24, 2022, after detonating the Henichesk road bridge with himself on it.

It slowed the Russian push from Crimea, gave Ukraine time to prepare defenses in the south. 1/

The Epstein Sewer

I've been a reporter for 40 years more, man and boy, and I can't remember being as shocked by a data dump as reading the Epstein files this morning. Sex with under-age girls. Torture. Snuff jobs.

Something like 30 members of the Trump administration or people in his circle pop up in the Epstein files, sorry Epstein sewer. Donald Trump, time and again. Stories of him taking part in the sexual abuse of girls under the age of consent. Photos of Brett Ratner, the director of the un-hit movie Melania, with Epstein and young girls. Our own Andrew, formerly known as Prince, cavorting with what looks to be on the face of it a child, not a woman. And the news that Peter Mendelson's husband was paid $10,000 by Epstein when he was a convicted paedophile. Maybe more. Maybe a lot more. There is even a walk-on part for Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world, catching the clap from a Russian prostitute and worrying about how to slip his wife medication without her knowing about it.

Immediately, we must step back. In any investigation, whether by the FBI, by the Met here in London or even by a simple journalist like me, you come across fantastic stories which can be, on the surface, at first brush, terrible and alarming and shocking. And then you work a bit harder and you interrogate the stories and they turn out to be dross. The source cannot possibly know the details of the story they claim to have. The source is weak, foolish and wrong about detail.

But, some of the time, they be telling the truth or part of the truth. And some of the time they may be fantasists. Working out the difference is hard. This is a particular difficulty with the victims of sexual abuse and child sexual abuse. We all know about “Nick” whose fantasies led the police to probe the former Chief of the Defence Staff Lord Bramall and former European Commissioner Leon Brittan, among others, in the infamous Operation Midland historic child sexual abuse investigation. “Nick” – real name Carl Beech — was found to have fabricated his allegations and he was convicted in 2019 of perverting the course of justice.
It was all nonsense. So, we've got to keep that in mind.

It may well be that Trump and the Mandelsons and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Bill Gates and Brett Ratner etc have been stitched up by dark fairy tales. The presumption of innocence must be at the forefront of everybody's minds.

Having said that, for example, the photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor cavorting with what seems to be a child is shocking.

The multiple times Trump is alleged to have been up to no good is shocking, even for someone like me who has challenged him to his face about his financial relationship with a Russian-born gangster.

If true, why did Peter Mandelson go along with the $10,000 gift from Jeffrey Epstein convicted paedophile to his husband? What did Jeffrey Epstein get out it? This story, on the face of it, is shocking.

And the one about Bill Gates? Not good, not good at all.

Now there's a terrible problem here. What normally happens in a great democracy like the United States of America is that the president commissions a good judge or good people to carry out a full and open inquiry in the beautiful light of day. I'm thinking of the Warren Commission, the investigation into the assassination of JFK, and the brilliant and beautifully written report by Congress into 9/11. For most reasonable people, and certainly me, both those reports laid some of the silly conspiracy theories to rest. The Warren Commission concluded JFK was killed by a lone assassin. Congress concluded that 9/11 was the product of a kind of Saudi death cult led by its Evil Messiah, Osama bin Laden, but that was it. There wasn't greater collusion.

The problem is Trump is so toxic to the proper process of the rule of law, to honesty, to decent conduct. Any such inquiry has no hope until he's out of the White House. So, for a time, millions and millions of people will suspect that those who hold democratic power in the United States, in Britain, in Europe and in Israel are fundamentally evil because there are terrible bits of evidence pointing them to be in hock to a paedophile, an extremely rich one at that, who used his money and his skills and his ability to manipulate people to be served on an industrial basis by girls under the age of sexual consent.

I know this story well because I did a podcast for Global, Hunting Ghislaine, and then wrote a book of the same name. And it's obvious, yes, that the only person who helps Jeffrey Epstein conduct his disgusting sexual perversions on an industrial basis and ends up in prison is a woman, Ghislaine Maxwell. On the face of what we've seen, there are many others, all male, who have grave questions to answer.

Now, those questions may be unfair. The problem is, of course, the source of this scandal is Donald Trump. He brought his own high explosives to the Epstein sewer and lit the blue touch paper without realising it was a delayed action fuse. In 2020 when he's out of power, he's telling President Joe Biden: “you've got to release the Epstein files. What are you hiding?”

The moment he is back at the White House again in 2025, everybody says: “Release the Epstein files.” And Trump has been forced to do so. His creatures in the FBI and the Department of Justice have tried to cover up his involvement but they've done an incompetent job. Emails have come out pointing to horrific events. Then they've been redacted. But too late. We’ve seen some of it.

The stink will stay until there is a proper and open and well-led public inquiry by the Americans into this sewer. But so long as Donald Trump has got his hands on the machinery of power in the White House, I don't think such an inquiry is going to happen. And that's bad news for all of us who care about democracy because obviously the Russians and the Chinese are watching.

Let me throw one name at you: Sergei Belyakov. When Russian “model” Guzel Ganieva threatened to blackmail some of Epstein's not-that-good and not-so-great friends in in 2015, he turned to Belyakov who so happens to be a FSB officer. That is Epstein was pals with a Russian spy.

Yes, I have doorstepped Vladimir Putin and yes, I have been spied on by the FSB in Moscow and yes, I have been detained in a Russian police station, albeit for an afternoon in Moscow, because I was asking the wrong kind of questions about the Russian secret police, the FSB. And, yes, I've written a book called Killer In The Kremlin. So yes, I know about what I'm talking about. If Belyakov knows all about the blackmail attempt, so does Putin.

Indeed, there are emails pointing towards Epstein planning a meeting with Putin but we don’t know whether that ever happened. At least, not yet.

But all of this is bad news. This festering sewer will continue to poison the democratic process and how power is called to account until Trump is out of the White House. This is seriously worrying.

In a crisis, one should always look for silver linings. Here are the following: one, Trump is in serious trouble. The Republican Party will be trounced at the midterms and that means that the Democrats will be able to ask serious questions from November onwards, while the Orange One’s grip on power weakens.

Two, the Andrew formerly known as Prince is a nonce, period. There is a big question about our royal family: should they have stripped the titles off their loathsome creature earlier? The answer to that is a screaming yes, but it's clear that our king understood the sick and hideous nature of his brother better than the politicians. Yes, there should be a proper inquiry by the Metropolitan Police into the full circumstances of this hideous picture of Andrew cavorting with what looks to be a child.

Three, Peter Mandelson is also finished, for good. He benefitted from his husband getting a $10,000 gift from a convicted paedophile. He may have taken more, a lot more. What did Mandelson give Epstein in return? We need to know the answer of that and from now on, I don't want to hear Peter Mandelson be a pundit on anything until he admits and confesses and apologise for his sins.

Four, Bill Gates: maybe he was stitched up. But he should never have been friends with Epstein after he was convicted of being a paedo.

Five: Don’t watch Melania the movie but you knew that anyway.

Once again we must bear in mind the possibility that some of these allegations may be grossly unfair and maybe dross, that there is no substance to them. But all of these people in the Epstein files have to explain what's happened for the good of democratic government because the dictators in Moscow and Beijing and Pyongyang and Tehran are laughing at us.

And right now, millions and millions of our own people think our system stinks.

And to be honest with you, for the moment, it does.

This is Bushra Shaikh, a Pakistani woman living in the UK. She openly pushes Islamist propaganda and cheers for Islamic expansionism. She supports a regime that guns down its own people with bullets and artillery, and wants that same brutal regime armed with nuclear weapons. Let that sink in: a world where no one is safe except the Islamic Republic's supporters and Islamist ideologues.

She is not some harmless commentator. She actively advocates for forces that are hostile to the West and to basic human life.

And here's the rot at the core: in the UK, people are arrested for anti-Islam posts on social media, while someone openly backing a murderous theocratic regime walks free. That is moral collapse.
