@daveatherton She was kicked out because of her insistence that the Poll Tax was introduced. Another 4 votes in 1990 and history would be different.

More buttock clenching hypocrisy 🙄 . Baroness Thatcher was elected for a third time in 1987 and with two years to run you unseated her.
I'm convinced it was because she'd never have signed the Maastricht Treaty of 1992.

He was wrong to sing this but for Tims to complain when they display banners and chant about terrorists is the height of hypocrisy.

The timing of the video doesn’t absolve anything. Derek McInnes is a senior figure in football today, and this is exactly the kind of sectarian baggage he’s claimed Scottish football needs to leave behind. Pathetic. Racist. There’s your “Manager of the Year”.

Could just as easily describe both sides of the Old Firm.

'On the terracing at the Dalmarnock end on Saturday there was congregated a gang, thousands strong, including the dregs and scourings of filthy slumdom, unwashed yahoos, jailbirds, night hawks, won’t works, ‘buroo’ barnacles and pavement pirates, all, or nearly all, in the scarecrow stage of verminous trampdom. This ragged army of insanitary pests was lavishly provided with orange and blue remnants.' Glasgow Observer on Rangers supporters, 1924 📰 Scotland's Shame. Then, now forever.

The politics of a country in decline. Not a single word about wealth creation, without which none of this nonsense can be financed. It’s deeply pathetic. If people fall for this left-wing populist drivel we’ve ceased to be a serious country.

The Burnham manifesto: •Rejoin the European Union •Break the fiscal rules to borrow more for defence. Thus destroying the fiscal rules… •Extensive devolution, including tax powers. •A wealth tax •Nationalise water, energy, utilities, and what remains of rail •A land value tax •A council tax revaluation •A ‘National Care Service’ •Rollout of nationalised bus franchising, modelled on Greater Manchester’s Bee Network •A £2 single fare bus cap •A fully elected upper chamber to replace the Lords •Bring in “free transport for teenagers in England.” •No welfare reforms. •Build more council houses. By borrowing £40 billion… •Scrap the whipping system in the Commons. An old favourite, truly barmy… •MAYBE: Proportional representation. Once behind the No10 door, people tend to lose interest in that one…

@MichaelLCrick @MattChorley He only got the job because he wasn't Margaret Thatcher or Michael Heseltine. He wasn't selected for who he was but who he was not. He only won in 92 because Kinnock was a weak opponent. He had a growing economy between 92 and 97 but was hammered by New Labour under Blair.

John Major speaks so much sense in this Newsnight interview. He had huge difficulties in his six and a half years as PM, but almost thirty years on from leaving office he's become the wisest of our nine living prime ministers.

“The first role of any Government… is to leave something better for the next generation than your generation inherited - this is not done now” Ex-PM Sir John Major says young people are inheriting a “more difficult” and “less favourable world”. #Newsnight

@LizWebsterSBF The UK is paying the price for the Civil war in the Tory party.

History lesson for today: Parties ignore deep internal divisions at their peril.
The EU question didn’t go away, it festered for decades until the referendum.
Worth listening to Major’s full take - from 3pm onwards.

⏰ Saddened to hear John Major tell @MattChorley about 1990s when the seeds of Brexit were sown.
The old guard, the wartime generation, were pro-European bc they never wanted to see another European war, retired around 1992. They were replaced by younger, far more Eurosceptic MPs.
Suddenly the huge pro-Europe majority in the Conservative Party vanished.

@TheParkheadF A good 'Celtic man' is that code for Catholic,blatantly sectarian.
English
Tommy Sheridan has come out and said he wants Alex Neil to be the next Celtic manager.
His reasoning?
“He knows the Championship very well” and “he’s a good Celtic man.”
Now I’m going to be honest here that logic alone shouldn’t be anywhere near enough to land the Celtic job. Knowing the Championship and being a fan doesn’t equal being ready to manage a club of this size, with the expectations, pressure, and European demands that come with it.
We’ve just come through a season where recruitment, structure, and decision-making have been heavily questioned, the next appointment has to be elite, modern, and forward-thinking not sentimental.
This isn’t about who loves the club the most it’s about who can take it to the next level.
Do you agree with Tommy or is this another “jobs for the bhoys” shout?

News🇬🇧🚨: "The prosecution involving the 3 Ukrainian rent boys, appearing at the Old Bailey today maintain that they have never met Keir Starmer and were paid to firebomb his front door and back doors by a Russia sounding chap they've never met called El Money". @georgegalloway.
You couldn't make this shit up, but someone has.
Not a SINGLE MSM outlet is reporting on this due to a closed court reporting measure from this pathetic series of wet wipes.
Veteran broadcaster and Leader of the @WorkersPartyGB George Galloway gives a fascinating update in a curious case that seems to be the workings of a poorly written Hollywood script.

A United Ireland has only existed while under British rule. Before we took control Ireland was made up of separate kingdoms, there was no unitary state. GOD SAVE THE KING.

@StevenReith @paulmurphy68 @rcf14a @Nigelhg No it isn’t. And even if it was, the claim was always that the term was geographic, not political. So irrelevant on all fronts. Ireland was never British.
