On the home straight in hosing-it-down Hamilton!

Reform can't win here. It's Labour vs the SNP, and the SNP are tired and out of ideas.

Vote Davy Russell of Scottish Labour to beat the SNP and champion the community.

"At least in prison, and at least in death, I wouldn't be in f*****g Bruges".

Whilst an excellent film, I do fundamentally disagree with the Colin Farrell quote above. I'm instinctively pro European and the longer I'm here, the more I feel it.

RIP to David Lynch. Eraserhead is the single strangest film I've seen and I'm reminded of the song, "In Heaven, Everything is Fine"

All his films bear repeat viewing. Sad news but what a legacy.

Enjoyable to do some doorknocking with Conor Savage for the Colinton/Fairmilehead byelection, followed by East Lothian with Douglas Alexander and Martin Whitfield to check in on residents.

2 reasons #DonaldTrump tariffs might not reduce the US trade deficit:

1) exchange rates will move, partially offsetting the impact
2) damage to US manufacturing due to ⬆️ costs

Putting big tariffs on every import may yet be just a bluff to get concessions. Let's see.
