Closer examination of the Epstein files provokes fresh questions about Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy and his brother Christian’s development of the One Hyde Park super-prime apartment block: messages within the latest release appear to contradict their tax-avoiding account of the project.
L: Private Eye front cover, yesterday.
R: News headline, today.
Stay ahead of the news; buy the Eye.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1669 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” It has a yellow banner quoting “AN ABSOLUTE RAG OF A PUBLICATION” attributed to Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer, 2011. The main cover line reads “ANDREW THE NET TIGHTENS.” The central image shows Prince Andrew in a suit standing outside a building beside a police officer in tactical gear. Speech bubbles read “What’s the time officer?” and “About 25 years.”

I've written today's Thunderer on Courtsdesk, the archive the MoJ has scrapped.
It mustn't double down out of embarrassment. Every day the system is down is a day court access is curtailed.
Not resolving this would be a choice to undermine open justice.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1668 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main cover line reads “LORD MANDELSON IN DISGRACE.” The central image shows a blurred, photograph of a Mandelson standing indoors wearing a T-shirt and underwear, holding a folder. Surrounding the image are multiple speech bubbles, including: “I’ve let myself down, my party down and my trousers down,” “He’s going to pay for this – which makes a change!”, “Talk about a cheques offender!”, “He will need some decent briefs!”, “Time to strip him of his title as well!”, “Oh no! He’s into M&S!” and “Can we have a cover up, please!”

Two men were given 90% of Teesworks on the promise they would take on responsibility of remediating the site.
I've discovered they were charging BP for remediation on a project the oil giant eventually pulled out of.
Teesworks overspent and then asked them for more cash.
There's a temptation to think of this as a scandal followed by the cover up - but it was ALWAYS a cover up, right from the outset."
