Hadush Kebatu arrested after mistake by prison staff. Human error. That's the story, however Sky News managing to create wall to wall coverage, with the narrative of the government failing and Broken Britain etc.
Wonder if they'll pick up on him not wearing a poppy.

It’s a sign of how far to the right British politics have been driven that the extremist idea of leaving the ECHR is now mainstream. The correct response by a journalist when a British politician says they want to leave the ECHR ought to be an incredulous: "Are you out of your tiny mind?"

The Queen annulled his knighthood on advice from the government. Different procedure for some reason.

The mechanisms in place for this to happen are pretty useless. Even if he was to be expelled he could still retain his title. See Nazir Ahmed.

Surely she consulted with the Crown Office before proposing this Bill. Surely...

Obedient media still spinning the narrative that Kimmel disrespected Charlie Kirk, despite the evidence.

Maybe Mandelson can't be banned from the House of Lords but removal of the Labour whip would is surely essential. Otherwise Starmer is continuing to look weak.

The reason why electricity is not dirt cheap in Scotland is simply industry would move north.

I've just been reminded of 2 pictures I posted on Facebook in 2014.
11 years on and no improvement in the situation.

Corbyn and Sultana's new socialist party seems uncertain about its view on Scottish independence. However, air it is to be seen as a modern, democratic socialist party it *must* at least support the principle of Scotland's right to choose. Otherwise it's just another anti-democratic unionist party.

Hopefully the commons will vote it down before it goes that far, but I somehow doubt it.

Naked propaganda is an insult to the listener’s intelligence. But,then again, Hegseth is an insult to the US military so who’s surprised?

I was at the All Day Punk gig at Bellahouston Park yesterday. The young guy in front of me had an interesting hair style. Gave me "There's Something About Mary" vibes 😬😬

Why couldn't the Scottish Government save Grangemouth? Energy is reserved to Westminster.
Why can't Scotland welcome more care workers from overseas? Immigration is reserved to Westminster.
Why can't the Scottish Government tackle drug addiction better? Drug laws are reserved to Westminster.
