Once again, London is named Europe’s slowest city. Did you hear that @MayorofLondon ? Average speed is 11mph. The congestion charge does not improve “congestion”. It is merely a tax on workers to access our own capital city.

What sparked the column below 👇was overhearing an SNP minister in the Parliament saying they could stand anyone [the old stick a rosette on a pig argument] at this election & they’d still win. That kind of careless entitlement is always worrying.
mandy rhodes@holyroodmandy

This is a ‘meh’ election in which voters are tactically discussing how to use their vote to prevent a particular party winning rather than putting their faith in one they would like to succeed. Me in ⁦@HolyroodDailyholyrood.com/editors-column…

📢🛫NEWS UK Government Minister @kirstyjmcneill was at Prestwick as @Ryanair announced a £40m investment made possible by the UK Gov’s Ayrshire Growth Deal. This expansion is securing 1,200 highly skilled jobs by building Ryanair’s largest heavy maintenance hangar in Europe.

Scotland generates more electricity than we use, yet we pay some of the highest energy bills in Europe. On May 7th, make it #bothvotesSNP for a fresh start with independence and lower energy bills.

This duplicitous Bitch has lived so far beyond her intellectual capacity it’s an abomination. She tried to frame her former Mentor, she accused anyone who wanted Women and Girls to be safe as Racists and Homophobes. She lied, or “couldn’t recall” her disgraceful handling of Covid. She lived her entire life in a Lavender Marriage and then denied knowing anything about her “Husband’s” spending habits. She is and will always be nothing more than a lying, shameful stain on decent Scottish people.
The Herald@heraldscotland

An emotional Nicola Sturgeon makes her final contribution in Holyrood. The former FM is stepping away after 27 years. "For the sake of the children who rely on us to look after them ... to those who will occupy these benches in a few weeks time, keep the promise."

0345am … The London cycling campaign and many of its members like to paint the narrative that if you are against LTNs then you are anti cycling. FALSE stories they like to push forward. I’m against increased harm pushed upon children and poorer communities for a middle class male dominated hobby.

"Polanski will be much harder to undermine as an anti-war loony leftist than either Galloway or Corbyn." In the latest edition of the Cortado, @RivkahBrown argues that the Greens are a crucial voice opposing the war on Iran – and a more formidable one than the establishment has bargained for.

Westminster squandered Scotland’s oil wealth on tax cuts for the wealthy. Norway created a wealth fund to pay for schools, healthcare, jobs, and pensions. Make it #bothvotessnp on May 7th for an independent Scotland that uses our renewable energy to benefit all of Scotland.

Worth remembering it doesn’t have to be this way fellow Scots. Scotland generates enough⚡️through renewables alone to power ''every Scottish home'' & still has a surplus to cable to England for free. Think about it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I've seen literally thousands of people today alone. Labour are done. People aren't just excited by the Green Party - they're out on the streets campaigning to win. Hope and a plan. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour assembled 16 people to knock on doors. If you remove people employed by Labour, candidates & elected office holders from this photo, you're left with just 2 people. Even with @wesstreeting, they can't turn out the grassroots in Hackney. Labour is in its death throes.

@BenGrahamUK Grow up for goodness sake! Stop being hateful and petty. Are your family and friends really proud of the crap you say? Show some empathy and understanding rather than posting cretinous superficial remarks for clickbait.

This rainbow junction in Hounslow cost £48,174 of public money. Some will say it promotes inclusion. Others will question the cost. Where do you stand?

The ludicrous story about the Iranian "spies" at Faslane. A man and a woman turned up at the front gate and asked the reception booth if they were allowed to go in. They were arrested. That is it. That is all they did. Ridiculous warmongering propaganda.

A life of politics is a real commitment which should be recognised but I cannot stand the hypocrisy on display here - Nicola Sturgeon ridiculed anyone who challenged her, refused to consider other people’s views and sought advantage in every issue
