Looks like the flood warnings are reaching the PM.
Just like the non-stop rain in Britain, Epstein is not going away any time soon.

(40,759 posts)1. They don't say why McSweeney encouraged the appointment of Peter Mandelson
Peter Mandelson appears all over the Epstein files, and Starmer knew "nothing" about it.
So did McSweeney know and cover for him? Is that why he resigned? This article doesn't say much about it.
