Voice of the Mirror has its say…
Senior US politician’s call carries weight
The pressure on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is intensifying, and this time it comes from one of the most powerful voices in American politics.
Jamie Raskin, the Ranking Member of the House Committee on the Judiciary, is no fringe figure. He sits at the heart of US oversight and accountability.
When he speaks, it carries real weight. His call to the Mirror for Mountbatten-Windsor to give evidence over his links to Jeffrey Epstein should not be ignored.
Survivors have waited long enough for answers. Mr Raskin is right: appearing to give evidence should be seen as a “service”. Public life brings responsibility, especially when serious questions remain unanswered.
Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied wrongdoing. But denial is not accountability. If he has nothing to hide, he should welcome the opportunity to assist investigators and help establish the truth.
This is about more than one man. It is about justice, transparency and trust. No one, whatever their title, can be beyond scrutiny.
Alarm bells over weight loss jabs
Weight-loss jabs have transformed lives, but they are now at risk of becoming dangerously out of control. As patents expire and cheaper versions flood global markets, the threat from rogue sellers is growing fast.
MPs are right to sound the alarm. Unlicensed online pharmacies and backstreet providers are already exploiting demand, putting vulnerable people at serious risk.
These are not harmless beauty fixes. They are powerful medicines that require proper supervision. In the wrong hands, they can be deadly.
The deaths already linked to black-market jabs must be a wake-up call. Regulators must act with tougher enforcement, clearer rules and stronger safeguards.
Because when profit outstrips protection, it is ordinary people who pay the price.
An historic day for the Church of England
History was made as Sarah Mullally became the first woman Archbishop of Canterbury, a moment long overdue. In a Church suffering deep wounds and dwindling trust, her leadership offers hope of renewal.
It must be more than symbolic. It must help rebuild faith, fairness and confidence for a new generation.
