So Starmer lied.

How long were YOU prepared to give Starmer the benefit of the doubt?

Surely there can't be anyone left in Scotland who still thinks he's on our side?

Well, ok, Sarwar, Baillie and the parachuted-in MPs... but surely no-one else.

From the PM's letter to the Ethics and Integrity Commission today: "further legislation will enable the removal of peerages from disgraced peers, and the Government has asked the Lords Conduct Committee to review the
Code of Conduct".

They really must look at lax rules on declaring interests too.

When a journalist points out that Trump's own attorney general said Arizona's votes were not rigged, he insults her, "You're a rotten reporter"

Journalist, "You said the Iran attack was an excursion, then said it was a war. Which one is it?"

President Trump, "It's both"

"It's an excursion that will keep us out of a war"

Welsh education – a sleeping dragon Luke Sibieta Wales has given so much to the world. From these green valleys and majestic mountains have come Dylan Thomas, David Lloyd George, Betsi Cadwaladr, Gwen John, Robert Recorde, and Betty…

The new ‘Curriculum for Wales’ assesses pupils through ‘progression steps’, but the criteria are vague. Schools interpret them inconsistently, meaning some pupils’ attainment is overestimated, leaving them under-challenged✍️ Luke Sibieta

Have all the birds been killed by windmills, Donny, or are they flying around with no wings?

You just know some of Farage's Reform UK members were involved.

30 years ago 16 children and their teacher were murdered in a school shooting in Scotland. And we still remember.

I'm sure Iran will also be remembering those 165 primary school children murdered by Trump in 30 years time.

I'm shocked!

Except it is. England is dragging the UK far right

Your leader has joined the flag shagging morons banging on about Churchill

We really don’t need to be part of that

Dump the Tory transphobic, racist, nuclear supporting buffoons and you might have a chance

Reform MP Sarah Pochin standing near to the UK Flag

Naw.

So are Lib Dem’s.

Honestly you’d think there was nothing important happening with these flag shagging morons

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.

Ultimately, will this finally lead to a realisation in the USA that being an ally of Israel should no longer go unquestioned? Trump has SO been played by Netanyahu.

Well deserved

Just on the train home from the Regional Press Awards after a very successful afternoon.

I would like to say something thoughtful and articulate but I am several pints in.

All I can say is thank you so much to everyone who has supported what my team and I are trying to build.

He makes me cringe to be honest. Layla Moran is a significantly better politician

So basically

Scottish independence for full fiscal control

Scottish independence for full border and immigration control

Scottish independence and a return to the EU

Well done for getting on board and what is your bosses problem with badgers?

Spiralling Heating Oil Costs

Via Politico: "The Cabinet Office announced this afternoon that its national security vetting system will be reviewed in the wake of the saga. The government also said it has tasked its “ethics and integrity commission” to review lobbying access to government and transparency." Long overdue.

Fascinating insight from the NYT via BBC World Service: apparently Trump expected Iran to just "roll over like Venezuela did" in one day of attacks 🤯

Kneecap rapper vows he ‘will not be silent’ after CPS appeal rejected The CPS had appealed against the decision at the High Court at a hearing in January, with the Kneecap rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh opposing the appeal

I’ve been following the British state’s interest in censoring Irish music group Kneecap. Unlike far right campaigns* about ‘cancellation’ & ‘woke’, Starmer’s lawyers are >really< trying to censor art & remove freedom of speech. Such authoritarian actions have no place in a democracy.
