And the grift goes on …
There never was a Russell Brand, according to @Meta. Thank God for @elonmusk. Stay tuned.

Jesus wept …
Kushner: “The question we get asked the most from the Europeans is, are the Russians, is Pres. Putin, really ready for peace. From what Steve and I have heard from him, we can say, very strongly, we believe so.”

I might be wrong, but don’t think Brand or Walliams were ever Labour candidates.
Hypocrisy of Labour over vetting knows no bounds Their two highest profile celebrity supporters over last decade: Brand Walliams When will they apologise for such misjudgements?

Jared Kushner: “If Europe could identify one person to speak on their behalf, that would be a bigger achievement than getting the Russians to include them in the negotiations.”

There are 2 ways to look at this: 1) David Cameron knows better than anyone how endlessly debating whether or not the UK should be in the EU can kill a premiership. 2) David Cameron is the last person a PM should take advice from on how to handle the EU.
***EXCLUSIVE by @MishalHusain*** David Cameron says Britain should NOT rejoin the EU The former prime minister warns Andy Burnham that starting a conversation about rejoining would be “very long and painful” Speaking in a Bloomberg interview, Cameron urges Burnham not to trigger another “decade-long debate about whether should be in or out.” He also says the UK should not enter a customs union with the EU As the PM who led the Remain campaign in 2016, Cameron’s intervention will be seen as significant. He says Britain’s economic problems aren’t due to Brexit “Today, instead of launching an argument about rejoining, which I think would be a very long and painful argument, and who knows where it would end up, instead of that, focus on how do we be the best friend, best neighbour, best partner,” Cameron says The former PM also warns Burnham that talking about Britain rejoining could hamper future negotiations “If you start endlessly producing this idea that we’re actually on a path to rejoining, I think you’re in danger of getting a less good partnership deal because of course the EU countries will just think: well, these guys are gonna rejoin anyway, so what’s the point in giving them a good partnership deal… If you’re not going to, you know, commit to trying to make the partnership stronger because you’re flirting with rejoining, I think there’s some dangers there,” Cameron says “I don’t think actually necessarily joining a customs union is the right answer. If you look at the economic problems we have today, I don’t really think they’ve got anything to do with Brexit at all. I mean, our economic problems are we are overspending, over-borrowing, over-taxing, over-regulated, and far too much being spent on working age welfare. Those are a set of problems that have nothing to do with Brexit. We need a government that actually gets spending under control, gets taxes down, helps entrepreneurs, deals with our borrowing problem, reforms the welfare, and massively deregulates so we can build houses, build infrastructure. None of those have got anything to do with Europe. So that’s sort of, in a way, that’s my point. Do we really want to go into another decade-long debate about whether we should be in or out, when actually we should deal with our own problems while making the partnership model work?” “I fought the campaign to stay in on an amended basis, and I obviously wanted to win that campaign. I was desperately disappointed that we lost that campaign. But I’m a democrat, a believer in democracy. We voted to leave, and I think the right thing now is to try and become, you know, not just neighbors, partners, and friends of the EU, but the best friends, the best neighbors, the best partners. And I think we can make that work” Story by @ChaplainChloe: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

It took Kemi Badenoch a few months to get Keir Starmer's measure at PMQs. She seems to have got into the groove with Andy Burnham much more quickly.

Putting the mental in Adamental
Go look at Russel Brands YouTube channel - his last posted video was from two weeks ago and the entire feed is talking about digital ID, the mark of the beast, government overreach, how Covid was a scam etc - and he has 6.6M subscribers… Clearly he had become too loud and too much of a problem for the powers that be

This is truly disgusting, even for him
Don Jr., who appears to be very high, thinks that Russel Brand was unfairly sentenced for 10 years. He thinks the rape charges are BS because the allegations date to the 90s. He says they charged him because he's a conservative. Sounds familiar?

Scumbag
If anyone happens to know the identity of the person who accused Russell Brand of raping her at the Labour Party conference in 1999, when he was 24 years old — which the jury rejected — please get in touch, and I would be happy to publish that information. First Amendment, baby!

Surprised to learn from Lucy Powell that we “weren’t in the social media age” in 2015
Lucy Powell on the Ed Miliband Russell Brand interview Sophy Ridge: In 2015, Ed Miliband was interviewed by Russell Brand. And he was invited over to his house to do it. It's been reported that you were the one who set up the interview. Is that true and do you regret it? Lucy Powell: Look, I mean, it wasn't quite like that. It was a long time ago, obviously. And had I or Ed Miliband or anybody at the time had any sense at all that this was someone who was a sexual predator, who was involved in these sorts of crimes or any allegations that were known at the time, then, of course, that interview I'm sure would not have happened, history would have been very, very, different. Those things unfortunately, weren't known at the time. But I think, like anybody who paid to go to his show or watched him on TV, or who was his employer at the time, who had interactions with him, anybody, including those of us who were involved in that at the time,would look back and really regret that, knowing today what we now know Sophy Ridge: You were campaign chief, did you set it up? Were you involved in the process? Lucy Powell: Look, I mean, he approached the Labour Party, he approached the campaign team, and we’re in very different times now. We weren't in the social media age at the time - where you could maybe search things up and see allegations about somebody at the time. and as I say, if there was any suggestion at all, we were dealing with someone who was a known sexual predator at the time, then, of course, you know, no one would have done that. But as I say, he was a well known public figure. Lots of people from Hollywood to the BBC to many others gave this person a very, very powerful platform. And we didn't know at the time, unfortunately. It was a different era.
