Slept for well over 9 hours last night, when I wake up properly I’ll feel unstoppable

Voting for a party promoting a policy of mass deportations is voting for thuggery on the streets, whether the salesman speaks poshly and drinks real ale or speaks incoherently and paints his face orange...

Tribute to Jeane Freeman

I had to check the date on this three times

‘At home with Peter Mandelson’ in Times magazine *today*

This is how we cover corruption in Britain? Seriously??

The hypocrisy is off the scale. Does a puff piece in The Times. Then sends a notice via the press regulator telling journalists, those worthy of the name, not to harass him.

The FT’s evisceration of Mandelson is an entirely reasonable and proportionate response to someone raising their voice in the quiet carriage.

I am heart sore this morning at the death of Jeane Freeman, a wonderful Cabinet colleague.

Jeane gave selfless service to Scotland especially as Health Secretary during Covid. In designing Scotland’s social security system, she put dignity and respect at its heart. (1/2)

So sudden. We all got used to seeing Jeane’s face on the daily Covid briefings. She’ll be much missed.

Stark difference between Peter Mandelson and Nicola Sturgeon police home searches Officers erected a forensic tent outside of the former first minister's home, did Peter Mandelson get the same treatment?

This myth making around Starmer "the decent man" has got to end! He knew exactly what he was doing appointing Mandelson and the line he was just badly advised isn't working we don't believe it!

Chief nurse's 'Disneyland' comment on hospital scandal 'shameful' - Sarwar Scotland's ex-chief nursing officer has been criticised over remarks she allegedly made about bereaved families.

The Ferret De-noiser header above a distorted image of a building, with text asking, "Could AI misinformation sway the Scottish election?"

🔴 NEW: Persuasive AI assistants, deepfakes and bots are now commonplace. But could they be used by bad actors to influence Scotland’s elections?

As part of our De-noiser series, we took a deep dive into the evidence: https://www.theferret.scot/could-ai-misinformation-sway-the-scottish-election

Is this “decent PM” in the room with us?

Wes Streeting in the spotlight over past links with Peter Mandelson

Wes Streeting's links with Peter Mandelson are extensive, with some in the past even saying that the disgraced former ambassador would have picked the Health Secretary for prime minister, had it been up to him

I swear it gets more embarrassing every time he appears

Sambal for breakfast, tacks for snacks

My duty is to protect Scotland’s interests.

It is absolutely unacceptable if they were undermined by Peter Mandelson during the financial crisis or at any time since.

I have ordered the Scottish Government to conduct a full investigatory audit to establish the facts.

Shabana Mahmood defends immigration reforms amid Labour opposition Around 40 Labour MPs have raised concerns about the impact of the government's proposals.

There is absolutely nothing "fair" about Labour's anti-immigration policies.
They will destroy lives, rip families apart and, quite frankly when coupled with Labour's nigh on Trumpian stance on immigration "enforcement ", will lead to mass deportations by the back door

MSPs voted 54 for Yes and 64 for No

Ministerial responses to Glasgow City Council about the fund replacing the Shared Prosperity Fund have been shockingly partisan as well, it’s a real trend with this new government.

“He lied on behalf of the Tories, not on behalf of himself” isn’t much of a defence
