In light of my icon's #StevieWonder70 birthday yesterday, would like to highlight my jazz tribute album to the great man himself 'Wonderous Visions' (2012). Listen to sampler here https://t.co/eGc2n7GFz6; DM me if you would like to buy £10 THANKS! #StevieWonder
The suggestion that Sir Jeffrey Donaldson was allowed to operate at the most senior levels of the political establishment for 3 decades while the authorities knew all about his sexual perversions can only mean one thing: he was a state-handled asset. He was Enoch Powell's protégé (a former Military Intelligence officer), he was a knight of the realm and a member of the Privy Council. These were rewards for his being a safe pair of hands, regardless of his tendency towards sexual abuse. When his job was done, he was exited. But the authorities - in fact everyone in politics and media in Northern Ireland - did precisely nothing. They obeyed the numerous super injunctions. Only now do they squeal.

Why have the British government sealed the files on Kincora House for 66yrs ?
If after watching this your stomach isn't churning, then you missed the statue over his shoulder!
Left: Keir Starmer, "I'm stepping down after two years leaving the country in a better position that I found it"
Right: Police arrest an 83-year-old woman for holding a sign, after Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper proscribe a protest group, which Labour's Baron Hain said was shameful in the House of Lords
Under Starmer, the face of terrorism in the UK is elderly old women holding up signs. What a disgraceful legacy
Two DUP figures were told Jeffrey Donaldson was a sex pest but they continued to support him, a party insider says. Donaldson "made a nuisance of himself with a 19-year-old girl", the source says, adding: "I've known Jeffrey to be a creep for a long time." https://t.co/Mf9OXdbh62
@georgegalloway I think most of them in the DUP knew this about him. They are a rancid lot. BBC Northern Ireland's documentary programme series 'Spotlight' have put together a new investigation on him - it's on TV tomorrow night at 9pm entitled 'Politician, Predator and Paedophile'.
@georgegalloway It's absolutely heartbreaking. When I see these clips I just want to scream. I just can't get my head around how these monsters can do this to innocent children. It's medieval barbarism.
There is a lot of myth-making about Starmer's leadership, much of it unchallenged.
It is hard to support the claim Starmer 'saved the Labour party' when he got 560,000 votes fewer than Corbyn in 2019.
2024 was a Tory collapse, not a Labour surge.
(via HoC Library).
The hate that Margaret Hodge has for Jeremy Corbyn is quite extraordinary and sinister. It oozes out of her - a persistent, festering wound. I honestly don’t think she’s ever forgiven him for winning the Labour leadership when she herself has always been a self-aggrandising head of the right wing faction in the PLP.
Hodge has been a pernicious influence at Westminster. As Asa Winstanley points out in his book, it was Hodge who triggered the 2016 coup against Corbyn. She also triggered the @EHRC investigation of the Labour Party with complaints that were found by Labour General Secretary Jennie Formby and the late Sir Geoffrey Bindman KC to have been ‘“almost entirely bogus.”’
Margaret Hodge has boasted of having worked every single day - with her good friend Peter Mandelson - to destroy Corbyn. That’s not politics, that’s misanthropic hostility and hate on a different level entirely. As nasty a person as you can get and one who has exerted a malign influence over the PLP for far too long.

This loathsome hypocrite crept around the House of Commons pretending to be an austere Presbyterian for much of the time I was there. A reptilian nauseating piece of human excrement.
For all his serious failings at home and abroad, history will most remember Keir Starmer as an enthusiastic participant in the Axis of Genocide. His direct complicity in the genocide in Palestine and his brutal repression of human rights defenders protesting the genocide in the UK will define his legacy forever. His departure from office is only the first step toward justice. Now let him answer for his crimes in a court of law.
Where did it all go wrong? - asks the BBC, and takes us on a 5 minute tour of Starmer's downfall that never once mentions Gaza.
For millions of people in the UK it just feels as if the mainstream media lives on a different planet.
