    I assume he’ll get bailed after 11 hours and not held for years awaiting trial like the Palestine Action protestors

      He has been arrested, not charged, so it’s not comparable. In any case, the protestors were held on remand because they told the judge at the bail hearing that they would gladly reoffend given the opportunity whilst on bail. They must have wanted to be held on remand, for some reason.

    About time. Everyone knows he passed information to his pal. The guardian reported on him on their infocus podcast late summer when he stepped down from his position, and they covered how he was defiant in his man love for Epstein as early as a year prior, telling journalists digging into it if they didn’t like his relationship with Epstein they can go fuck themselves.

    And his other communications, he really liked Epstein it wasn’t just a mutually beneficial thing, he really really liked when epstein allowed him to tag along. He’s also gay if I recall, so one wonders if epstein had boys he abused for the gay marks, I bet he did.

    Another quick addition, the guy they are talking about replacing starmer with, is mandelson’s protege. Wtf. Also made his name purging the left and popular reform from the party, much from bad faith anti semitism allegations, and perversely removed more jewish people than others by percent for being biased against themselves.
