I’m looking forward to the day we see Trump’s Epic Jury.

Allies of US in the Gulf bear brunt of Iran attacks Iran's attacks on Gulf Arab states suggest the Islamic Republic is targeting not just the US military but also civilian infrastructure.

Gee, thanks, DJT:

@empirepoduk.bsky.social - I am a club member and I’m listening to Episode 334. Why am I hearing ads? 😳

Oh sure. But it sucks that protecting the brand was the first thought.

To be fair, Robert, if Andrew still had HRH in front of his name they wouldn’t have dared touch him. It’s only now that the Epstein kryptonite has robbed him of his superpowers that they could go after him.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they flip back. Food-food-food is too much. People like and want variety - and they want entertainment…

Paul: disappointed not to find your feature pieces in the new-look Waitrose weekend paper. Hope it’s just a blip…

“I have learned.” Right, you did. But years ago. And you stayed silent to protect the brand until now, when your hand has been forced. Shameful. Shameful.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office - live updates It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein.

The rest of the family has remained silent for years about Andrew. They knew. They had to know. Only now do Charles and the rest attempt to distance themselves from him. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7...

Arrested and taken away in a convoy of Discoveries and Volvos. A shame it wasn’t in a modest family hatchback.

People reading future political histories will either be appalled or they’ll skip those pages altogether. Trump’s second term will be like Covid - remembered with a shudder.

Maybe the feller has just had a death in the family. Maybe he just lost his job. Maybe he’s on his way to work at a job he hates.

None of us knows what other people in the street are going through, Mr Zahawi. A YouGov poll sure won’t tell you.

I’m guessing the awards are being given by FIFA. Trump’s Peace Prize was only the start.

William and Catherine 'deeply concerned' over Jeffrey Epstein revelations It comes after documents released in the US shone new light on the scandal, including over Epstein's ties with Andrew.

“Deeply concerned.” “Focussed on the victims.” Hmm. Andrew and Fergie’s relationships with Epstein must have been public knowledge in the royal households for years. Their silence until now speaks volumes.

Good morning, Stephen. I am reading Citizens by Simon Schama, his history of the French Revolution. People call it a masterpiece with good reason.

What’s also staggering is that all four of them associated with Epstein and yet hardly anyone is asking how the rest of the Royal Family failed to notice. It beggars belief.

I’m a big fan of @empirepoduk.bsky.social - 331 episodes + bonuses, and I haven’t missed one. But re the latest mini-series on present-day Iran: I know the hosts are at Jaipur Lit Fest and are pumped, but please could they let their fascinating guests speak a little more? Saying this out of love 😊

People in Britain know how serious the Andrew thing is - because he’s been packed off to Norfolk

He’ll go away for a bit, and then he’ll slide back into public life. That’s what he always does.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

I can’t believe the rest of the family knew nothing. So many members of staff over so long a time must have seen the goings-on and then told their peers in the other households, at least some of whom would feel obliged to inform their royal bosses. And yet Andrew carries the can alone? Really?

I just read Lottie’s excellent article. So Madame Tussaud’s has an archive - but no archivist? That’s insane…

It’s a masterpiece, apparently. That’s what some bloke says on the cover.

Why is the Mirror the only UK paper to lead with this angle? Most of the others focus on Andrew, who is not only small potatoes, but old-news potatoes:
