UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is to meet Epstein survivors and may hold a full public enquiry into Epstein.
Burnham 'looking into' conducting Epstein inquiry, says victims minister
Alex Davies-Jones tells BBC Newsnight she discussed an inquiry with the PM when she was re-appointed as minister.

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡
My mum had 2 brain bleeds in 2022 and went into cardiac arrest for 15 min. She had 2 neuro ops, spent 3 weeks in ITU and the next 7 months hospital. She now gets PIP because she cannot work. Jeremy Clarkson would like her to say thanks? He always been a cunt, don’t let his farm show fool you.
How come Farage is allowed to hold a press conference, which was broadcast on the BBC?
When journalists try and discuss public health issues. Always seek the advice of a doctor (prof in this instance)… Clumsy podcast content at best, completely irresponsible at worst.
Prof Christina Pagel@chrischirp.bsky.social · 5d ago🧵On @thenewsagents.co.uk yesterday, school closures and the lab leak theory were offered as two examples of legitimate questions that were hard to ask. Both have in fact been asked constantly since 2020. But here's a thread on why I think they were wrong and dangerous on school closures 1/12
As we all know and I think we all agree, the Snapdragon trophy is up there with the FA cup and CL. GGMU.
Incoming in 3…2…1… 1. Rigged 2. Family voting 3. Bags of ballots that were changed 4. Postal vote corruption 5. Something about it being the fault of immigrants

When’s the manager going to realise he’s lost the dressing room?
So that’s four in a row of “bigger” elections that Reform UK have now lost, and took a pasting in the last two. Maybe the country actually doesn’t “want reform UK” despite how much Nigel Farage tells us we do. I wonder when the media will also agree with the reality?!?!
We could have had this 10 years ago and avoided the disaster of Brexit if the media had done its job right. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺
Brighton has been truly parched, and meanwhile water infrastructure crumbles. In 37 years since privatisation, not one new major reservoir for England. In the 35 years before that, nearly 100 major reservoirs were created. The new PM must renationalise water as a matter of urgency.
As though Farage has any worthwhile contribution to offer to the social care debate. Might as well ask my gerbil to answer the Schleswig Holstein question.
I, personally, look forward to the 220-team World Cup presented by Blackrock, hosted exclusively in the United States every six months and powered by Polymarket.
This man put the son of an ex-KGB agent in the House of Lords, despite MI5 warnings. He also had meetings with members of the Russian federation without his security detail.
Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social · 2w agoBoris Johnson: One way to end the war is for Washington, London, Paris and other Western capitals to declare that Ukraine should join NATO. You don’t hear that now. Putin will respond to that by doing a deal because at the moment, he has no reason to think that we're serious.
This isn’t halftime entertainment. Halftime entertainment is two blokes dragged from the stands and wearing replica shirts two sizes too small for them trying and failing to score penalties past the club mascot in the hope of winning a free oil change from the garage that is matchball sponsor.
Does this mean it will also be ok for Lamine Yamal to wave a Palestine flag? If players are allowed to express their opinions …
Tariq Panja@tariqpanja.bsky.social · 3w agoIt isn’t the White House task force’s role to decide these matters. It’s FIFA’s rule. But I supposed FIFA has for the past 6 weeks become a branch of the federal government so …
Celebrated Johnson’s batshit idea of using the imperial system for measurements again and now this… These hacks can’t make their mind up.
Nigel Farage has spent 20 years of sowing division and hate, he has polarised politics, and now he’s realising that his words have consequences and it’s coming home to roost for him, so is now seeking state protection and getting people arrested for messages on social media.
Tuchel talks about making England a “premier league team” Tell me a successful premier league team that plays with 6 defenders and takes off a goal scorer when they are 1-0 up…
America's pollution of the rest of the world's sport continues. This is NOT the superbowl, USA. We don't need additional 'entertainment' at half time. Nor do we need advertising breaks in the middle of each half. Our attention span is long enough to cope... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
World Cup 2026: Half-time for final to last up to 25 minutes
The half-time break in Sunday's World Cup final is expected to last between 20 and 25 minutes.

Politicians, who don’t give a shit about football, slapping on an England shirt absolutely rages me. Fresh out the packet this morning that. “Do it to show the plebs were are the same! Haw haw haw!”

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Mitch Mcconnell and now Lindsey Graham?! Trump just chucking old white racist dudes in-front of the grim reaper to slow him down.

Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 4w agoJust paying my respects to Ann Widdecombe. Or to be more precise, doing a photo opportunity for the press, where Ann may have been mentioned.

July 11th and United have signed a back- up keeper and a squad player from Chelsea. Im not worried but I’m not, not worried.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... If I knew about this, then Shelagh Fogarty should have. No mention of it though to her guest currently lambasting Burnham for his statement. Shame.
UN commission of inquiry says Israel committing genocide in Gaza by deliberately targeting children
Israel rejects the new report by the three-member expert panel, calling it a "libellous sham".
