Former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul has accused Donald Trump of raping her at New York’s Plaza Hotel in November 1993. Keul alleges Trump grabbed her from behind, ripped off her dress and raped her, leaving bruises all over her body. She described the alleged attack to the House Judiciary Committee as “brutal.” She also alleges Trump pressured her to stay silent by promising to help her obtain a US visa and gain admission to NYU. She claims Jeffrey Epstein made similar promises and invited her to Mar-a-Lago.

If the DUP does remove Little-Pengelly (forcing out O’Neill) it solves nothing. It and SF will almost certainly be returned as top two and the whole argument kickstarts again. Mind you, if O’Neill is forced out I’m pretty sure SF would simply up sticks and pull out all its MLAs

As sure as night follows day, the @duponline are about to end up in chaos & a probable leadership battle, that will end in turmoil, and at the end of it all, MoN will be back after the May elections with a bigger mandate.... Strategy & serious politics is a mystery to the DUP 🤷‍♀️

Dear god. The very thing that caused the deaths of so many people. Harold Gracey of the orange order thanked a sectarian mass killer for his support. That support was the massacre of innocent people. She is lost.

I don't know where to begin with this level of ignorance. This is Carla, having purchased a painting from an exhibition. Delighted to find a 'special place in my office' for a scene of riot police at Drumcree, forcing a march down the road. This is why people are fleeing unionism

Has Ian Paisley been interviewed by the DUP internal inquiry team in relation to Jeffrey Donaldson crimes? @JimGamble_INEQE - What stage is the inquiry at & do you foresee a report coming before January 2027? "Four to six months" - Your original timetable. (June 2026)
Three years before Jeffrey Donaldson was arrested, DUP MP Ian Paisley said he had spoken to someone he said was a “victim” of Donaldson - and he tried to use that information for political ends. The Belfast Telegraph has obtained the evidence. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

DUP MP @carlalockhart : ‘I gave you my word, I intend to keep it, whatever the personal cost.’ ‘My only ambition is to continue serving the people of Upper Bann. I have no interest in title or position that requires me to set aside what I believe is right’

Chris Brown, Russell Brand, and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon all arriving at Southwark Crown Court this morning. Brand appears to be the only one with a stunt double.

there's an "end of an era" vibe about this. It feels NI turned a corner over the last few weeks and it's clear the majority of unionists didn't support the OO over Drumcree. No doubt Lockharts back-peddling will break Olympic records.

Angela Levin is asking why Meghan Markle didn’t report her father to the US police. Remember when Angela admitted to Louis Theroux that a nurse had told her Jimmy Savile was abusing disabled children, but she kept quiet and didn’t pass the information on to the investigation team or to the police?

Any word of your inquiry into Donaldson’s behaviour while in the UUP yet, or is it going to be whitewashed over?
