I'm giving my 1980 gold swimming badge to Donald Trump for his services to being a total and utter cunt

Miss Hamilton, who was my swimming teacher, claims my swimming badge is non-transferable, but I will honour the US President as the world's greatest total and utter cunt no matter what she claims

SSPCA pay poverty wages . I was amazed to discover the 7 day shift rotas they work and the miserly pay they receive. The staff are exploited because of their dedication. The recent appointed head of their charity receives a huge renumeration even compared to other Scottish charities.

Labour, Tories and the Farageists, representing a combined 525 out of 650 seats in the HoC and 66% of current public voting intention, all locked in a hysterical arms race to win the Send Them Back vote, relentlessly egged on by the gutter press. A self-reinforcing dynamic now utterly out of control

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events:
