The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.

That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

This is just simple queerphobia. Utterly nasty. And to do this days after Jamie Greene, a gay MSP, left the party? Absolutely proving his point.

The absolute state of Scottish politics right now. Completely and utterly shameful. Physically sickens me.

Labour shutting the door on Palestinian seeking refuge whilst (rightly) continuing to welcome Ukrainians seeking refuge is about as barefaced as government racism can get.

The SNP already tore up a fare-reducing scheme the moment it emerged they needed to give it some funding in the medium to long term. Why is this time different?

Fare cap to boost bus travel ditched by SNP Scottish Government Flat fare scheme was recommended by Scottish Government review

Disappointing that the Scottish Government confirmed to me they are u-turning on the proposal to introduce a pilot for a Bus Fare Cap because the bus companies don't want it. It worked in England why not in Scotland?

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me.

In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.
