We're not asking, 🔫
Is that a super soaker full of piss? Because we need more of that.
When he wears out his usefulness and starts to endanger their wallets.
Massie: We need to get rid of Epstein's BFF, the notorious ally to a child sex trafficker can't be allowed to remain in power. We need to focus all our attention and energy on the most important one. I'm talking of course about - you know who I'm going to say...
...Howard Lutnick.
How dare he put Trump's agenda in jeopardy!
I love how the Americans point to Andrew losing his titles as being the big story in the UK. He never mattered. We'll happily crucify him. No big deal.
The fall-out from Mandelson is much more impactful. Our PM is currently fighting for his position just because he appointed somebody with links to Epstein. The equivalent is Trump getting kicked out for appointing Lutnick, even after he's fired him and several advisors.
Also, because there's a tiny amount of daylight between the scandal and the sex trafficking, it's bringing focus on the information brokerage aspects of the Epstein and other circles.
Because Americans are statistically very stupid and care about titles and royalty as it’s a source of cultural fascination for them. They created their own version of “royalty” with celebrity worship.
Well, we're statistically very sexy too.
I mean. It's not nothin.
You’re statistically morbidly obese.
We prefer thicc
Yall should prefer salad

TBF Starmer was already in rough waters
Trump isn't? Polling numbers look horrendous.
Trump isn't. Poll numbers don't matter a single bit.
US republicans are a cult and they vote in a bloc everytime. Everytime. They will never get rid of trump as long as they hold the majority.
Labour isn't a religious cult but I get you
Burn them all.
Although, if this was britain, maybe his PA would resign.
If it was anyone else, there might be a violent arrest.
Much worse is needed to happen to these people than resignation
It would be real nice to see him gone, at least we'd stop seeing him in Canada peddling bullshit in an official capacity.
Nutlick has zero shame, if he quits it’s b/c he knows he’s going to jail and no amount of fluffing Trump will stop that. Trump will throw him under the bus.
