According to Labour's Sarwar during the Westminster election campaign, GB Energy was going to create 69,000 jobs and reduce power bills. 13 jobs so far - and higher bills.

I know how the media works. The whole China kerfuffle is being bigged up to avoid the bigger picture about Russia.

China is not a friend. On the other hand, it hasn't launched the biggest land war in Europe for 80 years with well over a million casualties so far

I still have no idea what Number 10 was thinking intervening over policing. If they ‘win’ the standoff, Keir Starmer personally owns any incident that happens around the match. And he’s broken the precedent of interfering in operational matters, and so will be asked to do so relentlessly.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

If you want this sort of **** in Scotland as well, vote Labour in next year's election. If you don't, make sure The SNP stays in charge of our NHS.

If your incumbent MSP is SNP then vote SNP 1 & Green 2. If you have a red yellow or blue Tory, then both votes SNP

When Arkala humiliated Tommy Robinson live on TV...

This is also the way to expose the likes of Farage and Reform plus the "concerned citizens" who shout at hotels.

It's pretty clear now. If Scotland wants to be back in the EU, the only route is for us to join after we've regained independence.

Which, by my reckoning, would take no more than seven years (including our own referendum).

Here's how:

Your Right to Decide Your Right to Choose sets out the Scottish Government's view that it is for the people of Scotland to decide on their constitutional future. It calls on the UK Government to make a clear commitment to...

It's our right to decide our future, and it our right to choose what it should be.

I choose regaining independence and joining the EU.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

What do you expect from someone who thinks Scots seeking independence should be beaten by riot police in the same way the Spanish police deal with Catalonians

September to-do list - some more possible than others

Macron: I'll recognise Palestine.

Carney: I'll recognise Palestine if the PA reorganises itself and holds elections.

Starmer: I'll recognise Palestine if... some weird and illogical set of conditions.

But he isn’t is he? If Netanyahu calls a cease fire now Starmer won’t recognise Palestine. What kind of warped thinking is that?
