Alas I can't read more of Charles Moore's attack on me and my colleagues because I'm not going to pay for the Spectator, but apparently we work for... China? https://t.co/G5pkT6ocbu

The willingness of the media and much of the British establishment simply to ignore Mandelson's close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is absolutely incredible https://t.co/GxsdmxTurf 18.1K views · 68 likes · 32 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
