Any UK unionist party would have done the same. Labour are no different in this regard.

The face of a hypocritical demon. Lives in Monaco, pays zero UK taxes, gets multi million hand outs from taxpayers money, owns companies and a football team populated largely by immigrants yet calls out our immigrant community who contribute ยฃ18B tax revenues and shuts Grangemouth on a whim๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ

I spent the best part of 2 hours getting this to everyone by 8am this morning. Yesterday's news framed in Indy speak.

If you want me to continue this, at least give me a like and comment, else I'll just stay in bed in the cold dark mornings.

I've no idea what Streeting has just done to merit this rebuke but I completely agree just in principle.

Starmer has said that Mountbatten should be made to testify so, presumably, the same should be the case for Mandelson.

Dad has been in hospital for 3.5 weeks. I wanted to call something out... something beautiful yet unapplauded.

The nurses attending to him are Polish, Indian, Filipino, Nigerian, Ugandan and Somalian.

Imigrants.

And they treat my sick and confused dad with such respect. /1

A slightly weird optical illusion I came across yesterday at Bingham's pond in the west of Glasgow. It might just be me, but the reflection of the shopping basket in the last of the ice makes it appear as if it's some sort of levitating cage.

I so should have been!
I lived in Thurso at the time and a friend and and I had managed to negotiate permission with our parents only to discover that, when we went to book tickets, we had got the month wrong and exams scuppered the whole thing.
(Still think we should just have gone, anyway!)

Delete 'brown'.
Insert 'other'.

One might... but given the scant coverage by the UK media (BBC in particular) of critical news about their current pet party one might not.
Often ignored and, where that isn't possible, given the 'report once and move on' treatment.

Inside Mousa Broch on the now uninhabited island of Mousa in Shetland. Mousa Broch rises to 13m high and is both magnificent and awe inspiring. It is also by some margin the best preserved of Scotland's 500 or so brochs. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Tis the night before Christmas
And all through the land
Some comrades are waiting
For folk they canโ€™t stand.
It wonโ€™t last forever -
Around half a day.
They donโ€™t like you either.
Theyโ€™ll soon go away.

'The North'?
I'm reading this as I prepare for a 5 hour drive down to 'The North'.
And that's from a place which is a 6 hour drive south from where I use to live in what I would suggest is 'The North'.

Is there a more pitiful national leader in the world today? Or ever?
