The SNP doing what no other UK Political party has the courage to do, this is why I am so proud of Scotland, showing the UK what moral leadership looks like in difficult times. The BBC will not show this, this is why Starmer loathes the SNP.

Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So I’ve taken theirs What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

He's barking up the wrong tree. Maybe he should...

Rejected twice by the Scottish electorate in 2016 & 2021, he has spent 14 years since 2011 talking mince. Definitely one of the poster boys for term limits on list MSPs. No doubt the Red Tories will select him again in 2026.

Neil Bibby: A Liebour list MSP since 2011, rejected twice 2016 & 2021 by the Scottish electorate, but selected by his Red Tory party so he continues to sit in the Scottish Parliament at our expense talking complete mince on subjects he's either lying or clueless about. We urgently need term limits.
