The real crisis isn’t the budget, writes Stephen McNair. It’s that no one — not voters, not MPs — wants to face reality. The UK is smaller, older, poorer, sicker, more indebted, and less productive than it wants to admit.

NY State should open up its own investigation of Maxwell and the Epstein files for potential state prosecutions: make clear to her and any potential Trump accomplices that NY will punish any criminal conspiracy to cover up Trump's pedophile crimes.

Okay, so age verification is pretty painless. It's still not a good thing. At all.
