Mandelson still a human being whoโ€™s entitled to fair trial, says Cherie Blair Wife of former PM also says she is mentioned in Epstein files and coverage not focused enough on victims of abuse

But not a jury trial.

I love that Starmer decided it was a good idea to lend credibility to this meat sack of delusion.

He has no interest in becoming PM because that would entail accountability. Much better to be in opposition as itโ€™s the best place to fundraise without actually having to keep promises.

Those who keep complaining that wind turbines do not work when the winds are not blowing, just realized that oil does not work when the Hormuz Strait is not open.

A mushroom on a woodland floor. It has a double stalk and from this angle it looks very like a pair of legs, a human bottom and a hitched up skirt exposing same.

In the last days of the USSR, there were daily broadcasts reporting that everything was great, and despite what everyone could see with their own eyes (peeling paint, crumbling infrastructure, shortages) the Soviet Union was prospering.

Not long now.

I know we donโ€™t talk about appearance because it isnโ€™t relevant and reduces our argument to meaningless, immature opinions, but this is one of the best photographic examples Iโ€™ve seen of right-wing psychosis. This man has swallowed the Koolaid and the cup it was in.

Someone should tell MAGA 'Christians' the correct spelling is 'Jesus of Nazareth' and not 'Jesus of Nazi Wrath'.

We have a saying where Iโ€™m from: A Republican canโ€™t enjoy his lunch unless heโ€™s confidant someone else is going hungry.

Same as it ever was.

You think youโ€™re fine until youโ€˜re outside in the sunshine enjoying what could be mistaken for a Spring day when you realise you were, in fact, not fine and winter had worn you down to a nub.

The Waffle House is probably the most egalitarian institution in the American South. Everyone is welcome at any time.

You'd have to be an absolute walloper to be banned.

My heart breaks for the awful things that trans people have had to endure over the last few years. It's just not fair. I just wanted you to know that I, for one, am a cis woman who will do whatever I can to speak out against the injustices. You have my love and my solidarity always. Together we will get through this and out the other side. Stay strong and keep hopeful. Yours, Mandy

On Valentineโ€™s Day, we invited women to write letters of love to the trans community.

Since then, weโ€™ve received more than 140 letters, from women across the country and from all walks of life. Each one offering love, encouragement and solidarity at a time.

Today weโ€™re sharing the first three...

If you think about it, it makes you wonder what level of coercion is applied to those who take tens of millions of pounds from foreign sources.

I think the time has come to end the practice of receiving donations from anyone who is not a British citizen residing in the UK.
