What does the future hold for Scotland's giant cranes? Four giant structures beside the Clyde are impressive symbols of Scotland's industrial heritage, but who will pay for their upkeep?

Very true, a lesson learned from Meslier's management, who probably should have been taken out of the firing line sooner.

Carney is leading the way, working to unite major new trading blocks. With these new alliances further proof we don't need the US.

Why do so many SUV drivers seem so unaware of the size of their vehicles?

It's not only the under 16s who are addicted to social media.

It’s not just who leads. It’s who enables.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

Revealed: The true toll of female suicides in UK with domestic abuse at their core Exclusive: Research suggests official statistics could track as few as 10% of the true number of cases

“Revealed: The true toll of female suicides in UK with domestic abuse at their core” - yet society does little except some, whilst ignoring others and women are the victims in both instances. So what happens next?

Putin just killed another rival.

And again nobody’s talking about it.

Gary Lineker, "Jim Ratcliffe is a migrant himself, an economic migrant, he lives in Monaco"

"A lot of the immigrants contribute enormously, and the facts show you that, in terms of revenue, paying tax etc"

"Whereas Jim in Monaco, is doing everything he can to avoid paying tax"

You're not wrong. A slightly older, larger Meslier

Nigella Lawson: The new Bake Off judge who breaks the mould What joining Channel 4's famous tent could mean for the TV cook's career and the baking show.

It will be audible TV porn 😊

Dear Gorton & Denton,

Something you might want to hear...

Not watching the #LUFC game, I was beginning to wonder if Popey & Co exaggerating.

At least we've been able to try before buying 😊

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Nigel Farage labels Jim Ratcliffe a 'tax refugee' Nigel Farage has defended Jim Ratcliffe, describing him as a 'tax refugee' and saying his comments on immigration were "correct."

So refugees are okay now are they Nigel? Providing they're not seeking refuge here?
And Ratcliffe isn't a refugee. He's a greedy, immoral crook.
To equate a billionaire with some poor sod clinging desperately to a dinghy is sick, even by your standards... 🤮

Don't vote for Reform UK.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Whenever Farage says jump, [Labour] say how high. You will never appease the right by doing that. They will just get more and more extreme"

Spot on. This is what people mean when they say Labour is ushering in the far right.

Why Farage Can Get Stuffed on Working From Home WFH isn’t a perk - it’s a lifeline. But of course, the fuckers who want it gone are the ones who’ve never had to endure the chaos the rest of us call “Tuesday.”

Farage frothing about WFH again…

Funny how the loudest critics are the ones who’ve probably never done a school run or a Zoom call with a sick kid in the background.

WFH isn’t hurting Britain - but Reform’s backers would hate you to realise who really is.
