Ken Clarke humiliates Danny Kruger's new party, Reform UK on #BBCQT

"I live in a county with a Reform UK council"

"Most of them had no idea what the country council did"

"They fought on the promise of reducing waste and council tax"

"And they just put up the council tax by the max"

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Left: Lisa Nandy, "At a time when the lines are being dangerously blurred between fact and opinion, the BBC stands apart"

Right: That time Lisa Nandy lied repeatedly in parliament about police advice on Maccabi, conflating public safety with antisemitism

Graphic showing that unemployment has risen to 5% in the UK, but fallen to 3.7% in Scotland.

In Scotland, we're working hard to undo the damage being inflicted by Labour in Westminster.

Supreme Court Extends Order Allowing Limits on Food Stamp Payments The justices allowed the Trump administration to withhold full benefits for two more days while Congress worked to advance a government funding bill.

The Supreme Court extended on Tuesday a temporary ruling that allowed the Trump administration to withhold full food stamp benefits while Congress worked to advance a measure to end the government shutdown.

Fact check: Trump falsely claims it’s only beef, but dozens of groceries have gotten more expensive this year | CNN Politics President Donald Trump keeps saying beef is the only grocery product that has gotten more expensive during his second presidency.

Hassett on FTN: "Grocery prices are actually down significantly under Trump."

Fact check: "Average US grocery prices in September were 1.4% higher than they were in January ... and 2.7% higher than they were in September 2024 under former President Joe Biden, Consumer Price Index figures show."

Headline from a serious and long working paper on the economic impact of Brexit. Possible that this has been feeding into OBR and HMT discussions?

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Trevor Philips, "You don't want a rise in income tax?"

Zack Polanski, "No, people are tired and exhausted"

"How can you take from the hardest working people with extra tax, while allowing multimillionaires and billionaires to continue to not paying CGT?"

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

BDO fined £6.5m after regulator slams it for faking audit evidence The regulator has slammed accountancy giant BDO and two former audit partners with major sanctions after they admitted to serious misconduct.

Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

Far from cutting energy bills as they promised, the Labour government is hiking the bills of Scots to pay for nuclear plants in England.

In Scotland, we have vast renewable resources - and with the powers of independence, we can use them to lower bills.

The council converting the food and garden waste into compost provides them with an outlet to generate more funds for the Local Authority by selling the compost at a commercially competitive rate….if LA’s are allowed to do this…or use the compost for hanging baskets, garden beds in town centres. 🤷‍♀️

The fee to uplift garden waste means there’s not so much recycling as before this charge was introduced. Garden waste used to go with food waste free of charge. Paying for a permit allows both waste types to go in the same bin again. So folk now put GW into the household general bin to avoid fee.

A lesson from my late grandfather - Earl Haig sent thousands of young men to their deaths or to be permanently maimed, so why pay into his “charity”? Sacrifices made by those young men and women and wars since are honoured by being members of the ECHR. Much prefer a white poppy for peace.

Belgian Court Convicts Two For EU Funds Misuse Linked To Nigel Farage’s Brexit Group By Elisa Braun (EurActiv) -- The UK may have long ago left the European Union, but the legal fallout from Brexit is still rumbling on inside Belgium’s legal machinery. A criminal court in Brussels on ...

Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy says at #PMQs that the SNP are "a national security threat.' Repeating words said by Defence Sec John Healey & Scottish Sec Douglas Alexander. Desperate stuff from a govt which cannot categorically say China is a threat to the UK.

I’m sure it was only last week that I ready that Michele Mone was purchasing a £10 million house.

Yet here it says her and Barrowman’s PPE Medpro owe £39 million in taxes… not to mention repaying the £multi millions for duff PPE

Invite the Greens, the Libdems, and the SNP on. We’re fed up with the Far Right party always hogging media space.

I’d tell him where to stick it 🤷‍♀️
