UK Gave £90k to Sexual Violence Report Central to Israel’s Genocide Propaganda Exclusive: The Foreign Office funded a sexual violence report subsequently used in a £33m Israeli campaign to whitewash its genocide in Gaza. Rivkah Brown reports.

The Jeffrey Epstein files have shattered Norway’s illusions about itself | Sindre Bangstad Norway built its global brand on diplomacy and egalitarianism. The cosying up of its elite to the sex offender can only boost the far right, says the academic Sindre Bangstad

"The Epstein files will serve to reinforce the suspicions of those who claim that a highly networked Norwegian cosmopolitan elite, living in luxury and harbouring deep contempt for ordinary people’s lives, regard themselves as masters and architects of the world by right."
