I have a microscopic patch of this planet. It’s enough. Binned off the other place. So far this looks better. The natural world rules. Don’t argue with it.

Because they want the ‘baddies’ to win. It’s all good for business. The ‘good guys’ only win in the movies.

Rats in fact. But that’s being really unfair to rats.

It’s quite simple really. I have no idea why people are struggling with this. Such drama queens.

The UK Government is making Scotland a great place to invest:

➡️ free trade agreements with the EU, India and US
➡️ Scotland as the UK's clean energy powerhouse
➡️ biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War

Today at Scotland's Global Investment Summit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👇

But diminished to the point of oblivion. They just haven’t noticed yet.

Tackling child poverty would be my number one mission as Deputy Leader.

I’ve already delivered for thousands of children. But with a mandate to do more and a seat at the Cabinet table, I’ll drive real change for working people across our country.

Dim. She’s just plain dim. She can’t answer the questions because she is dim.

It’s all tax evasion. Doesn’t matter if it’s a small business or a large one.

Not seeing many Green Party members rushing to defend him. Did I say many? Any. From Lib Dem (virtual Tory) straight to Green Party leader? Now there’s a warning sign for them if ever I saw one. I think buyer’s remorse may be setting in.

Hell’s Kitchen, China Town, Little Italy, Harlem, Spanish Harlem and on and on. Non-integration seems to work just fine for one of the most vibrant and ethnically diverse cities in the world. NYC. And let’s face it, lots of other cities. This is just bare faced racism.

Keir Starmer: "Teachers change children’s lives every single day.

Today, we're announcing new bursaries and scholarships to support talented people to become brilliant teachers.

Inspiring the next generation and boosting opportunity across the country."

This Labour government has started rolling out free breakfast clubs to every primary school in England.

He is nothing but a shameless chancer. Saw his opportunity and grabbed it. How easily the left fell for it. He suckered them right in. He will destroy the Greens. He’s a Lib Dem fgs. Almost a Tory!

Labour, again, well on the way to delivering their manifesto promises.

I think the experiment just ended. It hasn’t worked. You need to start again.

That’s never going to happen. Maybe from the Lib Dems (he was one until 2017) or Labour but definitely not Reform.

I have yet to see a populist come up with good policies. Maybe he’ll be the first but populism usually comes with a massive ego. Let’s see.

He is. I know a self promoter when I see one. Being able to produce a bouncy video and talking a lot of words does not qualify you for dealing with real shit. He’s straight out of the populist handbook.

Oh I have no patience with all this. It’s all so performative. Palestine Action have become the story. The protesters have become the story. Gaza has slipped off the radar. Idiots.

Lived there for 4 years. Best city ever. It breaks my heart to think I’ll never go back.

Oh they can. I can assure you. I door knocked and leafleted before the election. A lot of people don’t make up their minds until a few days before. Talking to real life people on the doorstep REALLY works. But improving people’s lives works even better. Long way to go.
