Listen, Trump. Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch.

Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.

America deserves better.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Hate it when your racism is misinterpreted as that hurtful insulting kind.

Trump went after Tish James and James Comey because he can’t stand anyone who tells the truth and holds him accountable—and today, the judge made it clear that the courtroom isn’t his personal revenge tour.

Whatever it takes to get into the Lords

Was trying to work it out and getting annoyed at the thought they might not be in any order 😂

Scotland cannot rely on migrants to fill social care jobs - Sarwar Anas Sarwar said the UK's

What is the point of Anas Sarwar and Scottish Labour? Back of the bus and STFU as they always have done.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Are those in any sort of order?

When you have a lawless criminal and 5-time draft-dodging coward as commander-in-chief, it’s fair to remind our military not to obey UNLAWFUL orders.

Covid response of ‘toxic and chaotic’ UK government was ‘too little, too late’, inquiry finds Report criticises culture in Downing Street during Boris Johnson’s tenure

The “toxic and chaotic culture” inside Boris Johnson’s Downing St was behind the UK’s “too little, too late” response to Covid-19, with Johnson singled out for particular blame. Inquiry chair Baroness Hallett said poor decisions by him, his ministers and officials cost tens of thousands of lives.

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives.

Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

Never hurry a Murray, they’re too good to hurry.

That’s some job Scottish Labour MPs are doing for us with their voices in the ear of the Westminster govt isn’t it? This new immigration policy - the change we never realised Scotland needed.

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

Big birthday celebrations for the Glasgow University Union last night. We presented the wee silver trophy in the foreground to commemorate our 1983 World Student Debating Championship win at @Princeton Frank McKirgan & I persuaded the US audience to ‘regret’ their Declaration of Independence….

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

I think it’s a naive thought that human nature is pure enough to say “yeah, I’m doing pretty well, I’m happy for a good portion of my income over an certain amount to go to better society” Sadly that’s just seen by far too many now as stupid.

That’s fine in the short term but at some point you either live your best life or compromise purely because you don’t believe in the level of tax

Indeed, so are we suggesting these people just stop spending that higher level of disposable income and sit on their hands doing nothing compared to the period prior to the tax hike?

How do those who restrict their income maintain their lifestyle? If it’s by using savings doesn’t that mean the same money circulating in the economy and generating other taxes?

If that’s a resultant drop in their working hours will that not mean improved unemployment as others take those hours on?

Independence supporters marching on BBC Scotland HQ in the wake of the 2014 referendum over its perceived bias against Yes

In the year to 2023, BBC Scotland issued more error corrections than all of the broadcaster’s other UK regional and national offices combined,overwhelmingly as a result of inaccurate criticism of the Scottish Government.'
