Epstein & Maxwell explicitly threatened their victims with death if they spoke out.
Earlier today MSPs backed my proposal for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel, as well as for immediate recognition of the State of Palestine. This is a huge step forward, thanks to the many people who have campaigned for this.

Zack Polanski has been on Question Time 0 times. Nigel Farage has been on Question Time 38 times. But they both lead parties with 4 MP's. When is Zack getting his 38 appearances?

Rep. Dan Goldman: "This is a coverup. This is a massive cover up...Donald Trump was hot to trot and Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were leading the charge to release the Epstein files. Now, all of a sudden, they don't want them released. They are trying to hide something."
❗️Give my warmest congratulations to Putin and Kim Jong-un, who conspired against the United States of America, — Trump
REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
This'll be very telling when he comes to speak. If Farage uses his appearance in front of that committee to encourage a foreign state to bully his own country, he'll have crossed a very specific line.
By our calculations, the British taxpayer has spent more than £700 million on post-Brexit border inspection facilities, which were designed to accommodate customs checks as well as checks on EU food and plants introduced last year. In reality, though, they have barely been used.
