From the late John Pilger. Absolutely spot on.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Reform’s by-election candidate Matt Goodwin received a salary of up to €10,000 a month from a far-right pressure group based in Hungary 👀

Millions of Epstein files suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says.
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
🔴 Exclusive: Corporate donations British parties tripled over last three elections
But here's key thing: almost none is from FTSE500/listed companies
It's almost all companies controlled by super-wealthy individuals, or small, opaque firms

"Switzerland’s military has terminated its contract with Palantir… following a security audit… concluded that U.S. intelligence agencies could potentially access sensitive Swiss defense data… significant reputational warning for the data analytics firm"

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.
I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.
Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.
Palantir out.
Musical parody on the "UK fallout linked to the Epstein files, and specifically the former US Ambassador and British Lord, Peter Mandelson’s friendship with Epstein ..."

A senior MoD official helps shape defence strategy, then joins Palantir.
Months later, Palantir lands a £240m MoD contract without tender.
No laws broken – just the revolving door doing what it does best.
🤣
Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit
Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

The destruction of women by powerful men is a tragedy
But the Epstein scandal demonstrates how the personal is political
It reveals an international conspiracy of oligarchs to control money and power
The hollowing out of democracies across the world
And Putin as the probable master puppeteer
This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,
Most of our media is studiously ignoring the Epstein links to Brexit, Farage and far right populism. Farage is being touted for No.10. He wants an even more extreme Brexit. A race to the bottom to sell us out to this global network of oligarch crooks.
Why TF isn’t he being investigated and stopped?
Can’t credit the author of this because I don’t know who. But very good little infographic. Worth sharing far and wide.
Farage is in trouble.
Farage says he doesn't know Simpson, owner of the small design firm that donated £200k to Refuk (while seemingly owing HMRC £200k).
Also, Simpson's firm has a client, Sasan Ghanderhari, the billionaire who funded Farage's recent Davos trip.
Small world, eh!

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

FWIW - we know about Epstein backing Trump - but what about Brexit? Some preliminary analysis of his comments on the EU Ref in 2016
I felt a bit dirty going on the Express site but felt I needed to vote……..

I’m sure others have noticed this exchange between Michael Wolff and Epstein about exorbitant price Rybolovlev’ paid to Trump for his the Palm Beach Mansion and suspicious trades with MBS - but how many have twigged that Rybolovlev is part of the current Ukraine negotiating team?

No words.
This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.
Thanks for this. Found you and others I'd lost
🤣 🤣
Figures suggest Angela Rayner’s mortgage got 8 times more coverage than the bribery corruption conviction of Reform’s Nathan Gill .
Now, why would that be ?
