FUCK THE HATERS. GOAL AND ASSIST.

General Bones Spurs and Corporal McFlurry.

@GeorgeAdam Parasite and wage thief.

Time for one final team photo for SNP Group at the Scottish Parliament.

🚨 What Has The Labour Government Done? I didn’t vote for @UKLabour in #GE2024 and have been highly critical of both Labour and Starmer. Polling shows pretty much everyone is dissapointed, and Labour has faced formidable difficulties in its PR - much of it self-inflicted. In short, Labour has found it virtually impossible to persuade the public of its achievements and virtually no-one is aware of any of the good things that have happened. This is partly because of mainstream news media, including a highly critical @BBC, but also because the Government has chosen to foreground measures which indicate that they don’t intend to behave like a Labour Government at all: e.g., abolishing the winter fuel allowance; cutting disability benefits; demonising and taking a hardline on immigration and especially asylum seekers; and reneging on its promises to reinstate welfare payments to couples with more than two children (almost all of them at least partially reversed, but after the damage was done). So in the interests of balance, here’s a list of things that have been introduced since July 2024 that for some mysterious reason, many voters aren’t even aware of: 1. #NHS and Health Put an extra £29 billion into the NHS – one of the largest funding boosts in many years. Delivered over 4–5 million extra NHS appointments in the first year (more than double the original target of 2 million). NHS waiting lists have fallen by around 230,000–312,000 – the lowest level in two years. Gave above-inflation pay rises to NHS staff and ended long-running junior doctor strikes. Recruited around 1,700–2,000 more GPs and introduced the first new GP contract in four years. Started free breakfast clubs in hundreds of primary schools. 2. Jobs, Wages, and Worker Rights Raised the National Living Wage – giving over 3 million people a pay rise (a full-time worker aged 21+ gets roughly £900–£1,400 extra per year). Passed the Employment Rights Act – the biggest upgrade to worker rights in a generation, including: Day-one protection against unfair dismissal for many workers. Ending exploitative zero-hour contracts (right to guaranteed hours and notice of shifts). Sick pay from day one for more low-paid workers. Better rights to flexible working, paternity leave, and parental leave. AND attracted £100–120 billion in new private investment, helping create more than 380,000 new jobs. 3. Housing and Renters Passed the Renters’ Rights Act – banning “no-fault” evictions so tenants have much stronger protection. Started major planning reforms to help build 1.5 million new homes over this parliament. 4. Energy and Environment Set up Great British Energy – a new publicly owned company with £8.3 billion to invest in clean sustainable power like wind and solar. Lifted the ban on new onshore wind farms in England and sped up renewable energy projects. Aiming to make Britain a “clean energy superpower” with cheaper bills in the long term. 5. Cleaning Up Politics and Tackling Lobbying & Corruption New Ethics and Integrity Commission launched in October 2025, replacing the old standards committee to oversee ethical behaviour by ministers, MPs, and public officials. Tightened rules on MPs earning from paid lobbying jobs, removing exemptions that allowed MPs to be paid for giving advice on public policy or how Parliament works. Stronger rules on political donations: Introduced the Representation of the People Bill (2026) to block foreign interference and hidden donations. Tackling the “revolving door”: Introduced rules to stop former ministers and officials from immediately taking jobs with companies they used to regulate. More transparency on lobbying: Reviewing the current lobbying register and publishing more frequent data; the PM asked the Ethics and Integrity Commission to carry out a full review in March 2026. New Anti-Corruption Strategy (2025): Published December 2025 with 123 commitments to fight bribery and corruption, including appointing a new Anti-Corruption Champion. Local government reforms: Plans for a mandatory code of conduct for councillors and creation of a Local Audit Office to improve oversight and reduce corruption risks. 6. Tackling Online Harms (including pornography and disinformation) Rolling out the Online Safety Act: Inherited, but actively implemented and strengthened by Labour. From March 2025, platforms must remove illegal content, including child sexual abuse material. From July 2025, new rules to protect children from harmful content (pornography, self-harm, suicide, eating disorder material). Age verification on major porn sites, ensuring children cannot access adult content. @Ofcom issued fines (£1 million+) for non-compliant sites. Extra protections against harmful content include upgraded cyber-flashing and encouragement of serious self-harm to priority offences and rules introduced for non-consensual intimate images, deepfakes, and nudification apps. Action on disinformation: Platforms must remove illegal disinformation; Ofcom set up an advisory committee to improve responses. 7. Tackling Child Sexual Abuse & Exploitation (including Grooming Gangs) National Audit by Baroness Casey (June 2025): Reviewed group-based child sexual exploitation and recommended reforms; all 12 recommendations accepted. Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs (December 2025, started 2026): Chaired by Baroness Anne Longfield with full legal powers; £65 million budget over three years. Accelerated police action and reopened cases: National operation reopened over 800 cases; Grooming Gangs Taskforce contributed to hundreds of arrests, including 597 in late 2024. New national taskforce and local support: Specialist taskforce for councils and police; new centre of expertise for best practices. Updates to the Tackling Child Sexual Abuse Strategy (April 2025): Better victim support, independent review routes, and stronger multi-agency working. But anyway, APART from improving the NHS and the nation’s health, making more jobs, improving wages for the low-paid and worker rights, taking measures to improve housing and life for renters, cleaning up politics and tackling lobbying and corruption, tackling online harms including pornography and disinformation, tackling child sexual abuse and exploitation, including grooming gangs, stopping widespread train strikes early and starting to bring rail services back into public ownership, setting up a new Border Security Command to tackle small boat crossings, paying compensation to victims of the infected blood scandal, delivering real-terms wage growth and implementing several interest rate cuts, starting work on lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty including changes to benefits, and, excluding the COVID‑related disruption, cutting net migration to its lowest level since before the UK left the EU in 2016 - APART FROM THAT, WHAT HAS THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT EVER DONE FOR US? x.com/docrussjackson…

@ShonaRobison Good riddance wage thief.

An emotional last day in parliament as I step down as the MSP for Dundee City East after 27 years. I would like to thank my constituents for giving me the privilege to serve them. Huge gratitude to my fantastic staff and also all the great organisations in my constituency.

Absolute bombshell. James O'Brien ruthlessly exposes the cowardice of UK politicians refusing to call out Donald Trump's massive insider trading corruption. He brutally mocks Nigel Farage for being completely subservient to a catastrophic and corrupt American regime.

There's not a doubt in my mind Jack Smith would've put Trump in prison where he belongs. We now know Trump stole classified documents that pertained to his business interests. In a scathing letter to Pam Bondi, Rep. Jamie Raskin wrote: "These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, that the documents President Trump stole pertained to his business interests. This glimpse into the trove of evidence behind the coverup reveals a President of the United States who may have sold out our national security to enrich himself."

Do you have a date for when you changed from being an interesting bloke talking about the coastline to an absolute cunt? @thecoastguy

@MichaelRosenYes @thecoastguy I hope @thecoastguy is brave enough to respond to you, Michael, this morning he is posting videos suggesting that the meningitis outbreak in Kent was faked in order to justify an "energy lockdown".

@thecoastguy I'm always happy to hear explanations for how my son died. Usually I listen to doctors. They tell me that it was meningococcal septicaemia (sepsis). Can you explain why I should listen to you instead?

And next time.

Absolutely chilling 4Corners / Panorama special on Trump & his trillionaire tech henchmen, out for themselves at the expense of Government, society & the wellbeing of the planet. Everyone needs to do everything they can to impede them & their evil

Jimmy recaps the ongoing war in Iran using Trump’s own words. #FallonTonight

@ruth_wishart The similarities with you are striking.

Actually you've never been less respected and are NOW a laughing stock.

Give him a Follow he's really good and worth listening to!

Toxic, narcissistic leadership paired with conformist followership is responsible for one of America's greatest strategic disasters This exchange alone explains how we got here and why America is doomed if this continues for another three years

Russiagate was a phony scandal* *if you ignore Trump’s inner circle secretly meeting with a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Clinton, Trump’s campaign chairman sharing internal data with a Russian spy, another Russian spy infiltrating the NRA, a now indicted Russian government asset providing campaign advice, Trump secretly trying to build a Trump Tower Moscow, a Trump aide flying to Moscow and secretly meeting with a senior Russian oil/gas executive and government officials, multiple businessmen in Russia claiming the Kremlin had sexual dirt on Trump, a European professor with Kremlin ties telling a Trump aide Russia had emails on Clinton before their release, an Israeli social media manipulation expert who was working for the same oligarch to which Trump’s campaign chairman owned millions, pitching Trump Jr and Erik Prince on a plan to influence social media and

This has serious North Korean vibes

Something wrong with these people. The football equivalent of Andrew Tate.
