Billionaire tax evader blames poor people for Britain’s problems 73 year old billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, the UK’s own racist granddad, moved to the tax haven of Monaco in 2020 in order to avoid paying his fair share of taxes. He’s doubtless one of tho…

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court!
A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.
A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Labour’s real problem in Scotland is that Sarwar and Starmer are the same. It’s hard to overstate just how much of a shambles the Labour party in Scotland has got itself into. On Wednesday The Herald was reporting that branch manager Anas Sarwar had doubled down on …

My latest blog piece. Labour's real problem in Scotland is not that Sarwar and Starmar have different visions, but that both stand for the same brand of unprincipled political opportunism and selling out to corporate interests.

Did Starmer tell Sarwar to call for his resignation allowing him to seem to be standing up for Scotland and to flush out and scare off the real threats with a promise that he would then forgive him and he could carry on managing the Scottish branch office? talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/02/11/s...

Well worth 8 minutes of your time.

There is a lot of convenient amnesia about Peter Mandelson’s New Labour days. Let’s jog some memories | George Monbiot Yes, he betrayed the national interest in his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein – but also in his sanctioned role as enabler of corporate power, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's disturbing to see how Gordon Brown has whitewashed his reasons for reappointing Mandelson, and his own role in eroding democracy. Mandelson's official business was similar to his unauthorised scheming with Epstein. Don't let them rewrite history.

My latest blog piece, Starmer and Sarwar, the Tweedledum and Tweedledumber of political arrogance, together they've destroyed the Labour party in Scotland.

Mandelson ‘lobbied Israel for Tory government’ during Gaza genocide Disgraced Labour grandee appears to have kept ties with Conservatives long after his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein emerged

👉NEW -- Mandelson ‘lobbied Israel for Tory government’ during Gaza genocide

After his failed putsch it’s striking that Anas Sarwar is ignored when he’s being obsequious and ignored when he’s trying to be brutal. No one in the Labour leadership cares much what he says or thinks.

‘Scottish’ Labour is utterly pointless.

If we had a functioning media in this country, political journalists would ask Wes Streeting:

"Given you long ago concluded Israel is committing war crimes, does that not mean you must think your government is facilitating war crimes?"

They'd specifically note F-35 components.

Wes Streeting privately said Israel committing war crimes, backed sanctions on 'rogue state' The British health secretary privately admitted last year that the Israeli government 'talks the language of ethnic cleansing'

Wes Streeting has admitted that Israel is committing war crimes.

In doing so, he has admitted that his government has broken the law.

The government is legally obliged not to sell combat aircraft components to states committing war crimes.

What the BBC refuses to report is that The 𝗦𝗡𝗣 Scottish Government is already rolling out free breakfast clubs to ALL primary schools, and child poverty is already significantly lower than in England thanks to other 𝗦𝗡𝗣 policies 👏

Scotland doesn't need London parties. It needs independence.

Sarwar’s Gamble | Unless something dramatic changes in the next few days, it seems that Anas Sarwar has gambled everything in the most astonishing act of political misjudgment possible. It may be that it is he and not Keir Starmer who will have to resign. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/02/09/s...

Busy day in politics today, my second blog piece of the day, Keir Starmer gets bitten by his soon to be neutered Scottish poodle. This is all a massive opportunity for the SNP and the Scottish Greens in May's Holyrood elections.

weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/09/k...

So Anas Sarwar denigrates the Scottish NHS, Housing, Child poverty. The very issues where the SNP have bettered the Labour administrations in England and Wales. Compounded with monstering the Queen Elizabeth Hospital issues where Labour councillors on the board of manager hid from the SNP.
