Don’t be fooled by the polls folks. You absolutely must turn up at your polling place on May 7. Get your vote in. SNP said to be sitting pretty but if you value that good raft of social security benefits helping lift children up from poverty, the baby boxes, bus passes. Vote SNP

@ClaireBoad Pretty underwhelming reaction, I would have thought, given the momentous achievement 🤷‍♂️

Reaction in the media tent the moment an under 2 hour marathon is as completed at the #LondonMarathon by Sebastian Sawe. The first ever man to run a marathon in under 2 hours- history is made here in London.

@OorRoy Sensational!

Nobody has EVER completed the London Marathon in under 2 hours. TWO men just ran it under 2 hours! 🥇 Sebastian Sawe 🇰🇪 🥈 Yomif Kejelcha 🇪🇹 🥉 Jacob Kiplimo 🇺🇬 3rd place still beat the marathon record! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 #bbcmarathon #londonmarathon

@angelinaukm1900 Oh give it a rest. High Street shops have closed the world over. Mainly due to large retailers and increased online shopping But you think it’s the SNP

@MonicaLennon7 Explain then how costings by IFS show that Scottish Labour are going to fund the SNHS £1BILLION LESS that the current SNP gov. Magic new docs,nurses,clinics,GPS, councillors - all on less money. Or is it privatisation like in Eng thenational.scot/news/26032940.…

@catr67188 @ScottishLabour MORE FALSE PROMISES AND BS, The OSR has already warned @UKLabour and @ScottishLabour about using these false NHS figures, Lies and more lies, It's all they have. uk.news.yahoo.com/anas-sarwar-we…

PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND.. When you sit at home and say.. “ I can’t be bothered voting.. they’re all the same.” You WILL have voted. By staying at home you will allow another Country to keep running yours but this time .. it WILL cost you. You did it before.. we need you now. Vote SNP

@Mike_Blackley @DailyMail Michael wee tips for Jackson: 1. The DUP work with Sinn Fein on a daily basis. 2. The IRA planted the Brighton bomb not Sinn Fein. 3. That was 42 years during a war. 4. The Good Friday Agreement put an end to said war. 5. Sinn Fein is the largest party party in the six counties.

.@zarahsultana: "Whoever replaces [Starmer].. they have also defended this govts record, they have also voted through those cuts, they've voted through those proscriptions, they have defended selling arms to an apartheid genocidal state, so what's actually going to change?" 🎯

Correct...most want it in the next 5 months.

Good luck to @EilishMccolgan in Sunday's London Marathon. My photo. taken in 2001 @ the Balmoral road races shows a 10 year old Eilish listening carefully to two London Marathon winners, @paulajradcliffe (on left) and mum @Lizmccolgan discussing marathon training. @scotathletics

@GrahamGGrant If you don’t mind me saying so, I think we could do a lot better without biased and incendiary newspapers like yours.

The BBC has issued a correction after a former Labour candidate hopeful and activist appeared in a podcast debate about the NHS, hosted by the broadcaster, without her party links being mentioned #Echobox=1776931807-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26045695.…

@elgoldave @baxterparp @bbcdebatenight @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne @StephenJardine Yes, Shanks. And also Streeting, Sarwar and Poynton today👇 All the same topic. Will they apologise and change their behaviour?

Disaster after disaster has befallen Starmer over the past few months. * Starmer’s political mentor, Peter Mandelson, has been dismissed from his post as ambassador to the US. * Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, has been forced to resign over his role in Mandelson’s appointment. * And seemingly separately, Starmer loyalist Josh Simons has resigned from the government after it emerged he was central to a campaign of smears against journalists scrutinising illegal activities surrounding Starmer’s rise to power. The media are treating these episodes as individual failings rather than evidence of institutional capture of the Labour party by the Epstein class and its hangers-on. All three Starmer allies were deeply connected to a shadowy “think tank” called Labour Together. Labour Together’s covert task, using an enormous slush fund of undeclared money from a handful of billionaire donors, was to oust Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader and then dupe Labour members into backing Keir Starmer, even as he sold the party's soul to Big Business. Labour Together was an exercise in democracy subversion to stop a socialist gaining power. And it then continued as an exercise in democracy subversion to install permanent guardrails against the Labour party ever being led by anyone other than a placeman, like Starmer, for the billionaires. The point was to make British politics a simulacrum of US politics: two main parties representing – and ensuring the permanent rule of – the super-rich, and mirroring minor internal differences in their perceptions of how to best safeguard their class interests. All of this happened in full view over the past decade. But it was impossible to get it into the mainstream. Even at this stage, the real story is not being allowed to break through. Because it would expose not just corruption at the heart of the British political system but at the heart of the British media system too. The state and billionaire-owned media were happy to see democracy covertly subverted if it ensured Corbyn would be prevented from winning power. And the media were equally pleased to promote the Starmer cabal as gatekeepers over who would be allowed to lead the Labour party. There was a shared interest in entrenching how the political system was rigged. Anyone who doubts that the media has been deeply complicit in the cover-up of Labour Together’s activities should recall that there were journalists – and others – reporting on Labour’s dismantling of internal democracy to preclude the emergence of any kind of meaningful political choice. However, they were denied mainstream attention. The internal plotting against Corbyn was first highlighted in 2017 by Al Jazeera’s three-part undercover investigation The Israel Lobby, which showed how an Israeli embassy official, Shai Masot, was covertly working with the rightwing Labour factions to use antisemitism to destroy the party leader. Three years later, as Corbyn stepped down, a cache of internal Labour party documents were leaked showing that the party bureaucracy – loyal to the Mandelson wing – conspired to bring about Corbyn’s downfall. It even prioritized his destruction over winning the closely fought 2017 general election. Starmer appointed a KC, Martin Forde, to investigate the leak – chiefly, it seems to identify who was responsible and punish them. Forde would later admit that Starmer’s team had obstructed his work and tried to endlessly delay the report. But when it was finally published in summer 2022, Forde confirmed what was already obvious: that the Labour right had waged a dirty factional war against Corbyn and the left of the party, weaponising antisemitism to tar them. Months later, Al Jazeera would air a second, four-part investigation, The Labour Files, showing how the party’s right wing – loyal to Mandelson and McSweeney – purged the party’s left wing based in most cases on false accusations, fabrications, misrepresentations and smears. The documentary fully justified one victim of those purges describing the past few years in Labour as a “criminal conspiracy against its members”. The revelation in The Israel Lobby documentary that Labour had been infiltrated by an Israeli spy with the active collusion of sections of its members and MPs to take down a potential prime minister provoked no political or media debate. The follow-up disclosures in the leaked Labour internal review, the Forde Report and The Labour Files have similarly dropped off the radar, even as the story they tell is the only way to make sense of the serial falls of McSweeney, Mandelson, Simons and, soon, Starmer. Similarly, Paul Holden’s book The Fraud, which brings the unlawful activities of Labour Together sharply into focus, is being ignored rather than mined for details of what has really happening in British politics over the past decade. These resources have all been buried, even as the Mandelson furore fully justifies their vigorous excavation. This is an extract from my latest article.
