@MikeBales I’m quite contented to take my chances, against the Gildensterns and Rosencrantses. Spin Doctors - How Could You Want Him

Hello darkness, my old friend…

@TheTrawlPodcast @MarinaPurkiss Laughing at your meal deal chat this week. I present on a rugby podcast and we ask all new presenters and guests 2 questions. 1. A rugby question about socks! 2. What’s your go-to meal deal. It can actually be quite revealing and is always fun.

@BarbaraJurado4 @Lynneth1000000 @CockertonMark @mogsy68 The crown estates would not simply disappear. They would continue to be managed by ‘boards’ as they are now, and their revenues would continue to go directly to the UK state, as they do now. So actually, we’d still have the Crown Estate monies and also save up to £132m.

@Lynneth1000000 @CockertonMark @mogsy68 Really!The monarch provides UK with financial returns by surrendering all profits from Crown Estate to the Treasury (e.g., £1.1 billion in 2024-25), while receiving a smaller "Sovereign Grant" (approx. £86.3m–£132m) for official duties and property upkeep thecrownestate.co.uk

‘Like’ if you would like King Charles’s proposed visit to USA to be postponed. ‘Repost’ if you would like it to be cancelled until the USA has rid itself of the demented orange warmonger.

@MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte Hi. I stay anonymous here & use BSky now, but after the last Trawl I felt compelled to say Thanks. I can’t imagine having to trawl and distill the stuff you do & Marina’s comment of going to bed sobbing really struck me. Know that you are appreciated x

@IreneMcGrath @paulhutcheon @FacundoSavala Oh god! You must have a nightmare in Europe! I, on the other hand, use my satnav. I actually set my satnav to speak in French when I’m in France though. It helps me learn the language rather than cry about it not being in English.

@paulhutcheon @FacundoSavala He’s quite right. I’ve just spent a week driving in the Highlands, on roads long since unfamiliar to me, and the split second extra it takes to find the placename in English, especially approaching a roundabout, takes your eye off the road for longer and potentially dangerously.

NEW: Broadcaster Andrew Marr hits out at 'ridiculous' Gaelic signs in parts of Scotland. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

@BARRYAL75634854 @gracerob50 @Goose1167 @IreneMcGrath @paulhutcheon @FacundoSavala Aw mate. The English education system has failed you so badly that you can’t tell the difference between an ancient language (Gaelic) and a modern word for a modern thing.

@gracerob50 @Goose1167 @IreneMcGrath @paulhutcheon @FacundoSavala Find ambaileans in the Gaelic dictionary then!

@MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast It’s going to be really pushing your dislike (which I share) of the cheap trope about politicians and parties that “They’re all the same” when, at this rate, we might get to the election and find they are quite literally the same!

@girlsreallyrule @alijmcc He better call Saul.

The law firm which has represented Trump and his election campaign for several years, is seeking to withdraw as the firm of record, saying there had been an "irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship." My guess is he hasn't paid a bill. newsweek.com/trump-lawyers-…

@ramonagusta @AlexTaylorNews @donaldtusk Couple of things. Your chart shows GDP, where the OP was quoting Income per Capita. Also, looks like your chart is from 2020. 4 years ago. With everything beyond that predicted. So largely irrelevant now. But otherwise, great info mate 👍

Wow ! this from @donaldtusk !👇 "As we celebrate 20 years in the EU ... the World Bank forecasts income per capita will be higher in Poland than in the UK in 2025. I promise this: on the 25th anniversary, Poles will be wealthier than the British. It's better to be in the EU !"👇

@remain_central This lady is absolutely correct in her assessment of true democracy. It is constant and evolving and we should be able to reconsider when we have the facts. For those agreeing with her, please remember that when you next see an argument for a Scottish Independence referendum.

Brilliant demolition of Brexit on live TV. You’d never see this on a BBC vox pop. Rachel in Parliament Square tells it like it is at the #PeoplesVoteMarch.

@TheTrawlPodcast @MarinaPurkiss Thought you might be interested in this. Was playing some vids of Bill Hicks and I came across his thoughts in war Iraq. His views on “What makes a war” and similarities about how the US forces were then and how IDF are now, are interesting

Scotland is one of the last bastions of true ‘socialism’ in the UK. The basic understanding of ‘fairness’, and looking after others, is inherent in the Scots psyche. That is part of the reason why nationalism is strong in Scotland and will continue until/if the UK wakes up. 4/4

I’m lucky! I earn well. And I’ve consistently voted to be taxed higher so that people less fortunate than me can benefit. Social care, a functional NHS, affordable housing, etc. Until we have a majority in the country who feel the same, the UK will only be shades of Tory. 3/4

@MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast I love your Podcast and the ideals you espouse. I’m sure many people do. But here’s the problem. Until a movement of truly ‘social minded’ individuals try to improve things, it’s never going to really change. 1/4

@DaveDyallen72 @theSNP @HazelCoutts @StephenFlynnSNP What has that got to do with it? Yorkshire is a county of England and Scotland is a country. It would be as relevant to consider the size of the population of Ghana. But thanks for your input.

@AngryBa44666347 @theSNP @HazelCoutts @StephenFlynnSNP The population that the biggest party in Scotland represent less that the population of Yorkshire 😂😂😂think about that

🤝 Today should've been about a ceasefire in Gaza and protecting the lives of innocent civilians. Instead, Westminster turned it into a circus. 👇 Watch @StephenFlynnSNP explain how Westminster blocked a straight ceasefire vote due to the actions of the Speaker and Labour Party.

@Humpahon @arfurmometer @NZblanc @savanQadir @theSNP Free at the point of use. Because some of us are happy to pay higher taxes so that the less fortunate can be looked after. Do you remember when socialism was a thing?

@arfurmometer @NZblanc @savanQadir @theSNP It's ok. The Scottish tax payer will pay for it and remember everything is free in Scotland .

Stephen Flynn is absolutely furious!!! This is what’s wrong with West Minister . The Scottish votes mount to barely anything at all. Is it the time for the @theSNP MPs to boycott that house , and demand respect to Scottish voices in the Union. Otherwise what’s the point of being in a house when your voice constantly ignored. #GazaCeasefire

@RbaillieALBA @arfurmometer @savanQadir @theSNP Seriously friend. Don’t engage. Single minded eejit who can’t understand your logical responses without resorting to whatabootery.

@arfurmometer @savanQadir @theSNP WHAT???

@penninehiker @CarolineLucas We, as all nations, should have a voice on the international stage. That ‘voice’ is parliament. MPs reflect the views of their constituents in discussions about international views. If you don’t want that input. Abstain on UK elections and only vote for your local council.

@CarolineLucas Whatever they vote in Parliament, it won't make a jot of difference in Gaza. 🇬🇧 MPs are elected to represent their constituents & to do what is best for 🇬🇧. We don't have an MP for Gaza. Focus on your day job please.

Total chaos in the chamber. Deeply disappointed that SNP motion has not been put. While political games are played at Westminster, more lives are lost in Gaza. Greens are clear: we need an immediate #CeasefireNOW
