Trump’s Iran threats, Prince Andrew scandal, BBC backlash and Ye fallout collide in this week’s biggest headlines and debates.
Prince Andrew’s “Straightforward Shooting Weekend” Reportedly Included Party Bags, Poppers And Condoms
Prince Andrew once tried to wave away that infamous Sandringham gathering with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell as a “straightforward shooting weekend.” Just a simple country house interlude, apparently. Nothing odd, nothing improper, nothing worth a second glance. The trouble with that line, of course, is that hardly anyone believed it at the time and…
Reform UK Threatens Visa Bans Over Slavery Reparations, and Commonwealth Leaders Are Not Backing Down
Here is something that should not need saying.

A sign of strength and brilliant leadership material. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams obliged with the framing, telling…
Donald Trump’s Iran Rant Crossed a Terrifying Line Into Open Threats Against Civilians
Donald Trump has said many vile things in public life, but even by his standards, this was grotesque.
