What matters is not release of some subset of the Epstein files, but rather the prosecution of those who committed heinous crimes with Epstein.

When there is at least one arrest, some justice will have been done. If not, this is all performative. Nothing but a distraction.

The most surprising thing to me, not having delved deeply into this whole affair, is that Epstein was ever convicted of anything in the first place - he must have been very indiscreet, as with all the people involved, in one form or another, it's implausible many others were not in it up to their (potentially royal) necks.

Angeliki Stogia is Labour's candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election

Why are they all called Ange?

Her Wikipedia page has been nominated for deletion. You would like to think a halfway competent party of government would have sorted that out.

What do you expect the government to do?

Wikipedia notability criteria for having an article for a politician are, to simplify, that they’ve won. Just being a candidate doesn’t count. When by-elections happen, it’s common for candidates to have articles created for them, that then rapidly get nominated for deletion, but the deletion discussion often takes long than the election campaign!

I don't expect the government to do anything. I expect Labour, aka the party of government, to have sorted out its candidate's social media presence including Wikipedia.

Sir Useless flying back from China with virtually nothing then, absolutely worth it.

He got a good deal for whisky exporters to China and for adventurous students and business people who can now go to China for 30 days visa free. That is about it
