Now that Sturgeon knows some of her possessions (Montblanc pens, Smythson bags, oak library steps…) are ‘possibly’ the proceeds of crime, has she taken steps to hand them to the police?

A witness has now come forward as seeing Sturgeon near the motorhome parked on her mother-in-law’s driveway. Sturgeon’s story is unravelling…

One Million Young People. No Jobs. Labour Blames the Paper Round. Pat McFadden has identified the cause of Britain's youth unemployment crisis. Writing in the Telegraph this morning, the Work and Pensions Secretary explains that young people cannot find work because the paper round has disappeared. News is online now. Retail is in decline. The Saturday job has gone the way of the high street. This, he tells us, is why nearly one million young people are not in education, employment or training, with sixty percent of them having never held a job at all. The National Insurance rise announced in last October's budget is not mentioned. The near twenty percent jump in the youth minimum wage rate is not mentioned. The consequent collapse in entry-level hiring across retail, hospitality and service industries is not mentioned. The government that hammered the sectors where young people get their first foothold from every direction simultaneously has commissioned a review to find out what went wrong and concluded, apparently in good faith, that the answer is the internet. The Milburn review finding published alongside McFadden's column deserves to be read slowly. The government currently spends twenty-five times more paying unemployed young people than finding them jobs. Twenty-five times. That is not a funding gap. It is a system designed around managing failure rather than ending it. And it is a system that McFadden's party has been operating, expanding and now proposing to reset while affecting surprise at what it contains. In February I argued that Labour had priced a generation out of work. The employer National Insurance rise, the surge in minimum wages and the resulting collapse in entry-level hiring were the mechanism. The warning lights were not coming from political opponents alone. The Office for Budget Responsibility, the Bank of England and economists from think tanks close to Labour's own orbit were all pointing in the same direction. Employment costs rose sharply. Entry-level jobs shrank. Youth unemployment climbed. The link was obvious to anyone willing to see it. McFadden is not willing to see it. His solution is 300,000 work experience placements over three years. The Youth Guarantee will give every unemployed young person a shot at work after eighteen months of unemployment. Eighteen months. A young person who left school in the summer of 2025 will be eligible for a work experience placement in early 2027. A government that had not made entry-level employment more expensive would have got them working within weeks of leaving school. Meanwhile welfare costs the taxpayer £322 billion a year, twenty-three percent of total government spending, and is set to rise by a further £74 billion over the next five years. Starmer was forced to abandon his own benefits reform last year after Labour MPs said it would drive families into poverty. The system reset Milburn is now proposing is the third attempt to address a benefits bill that grows regardless of which party is in office because the structural incentives have never been reformed. The paper round is a convenient villain. It requires no policy reversal. It offends nobody in the Cabinet. It places the blame on technological change and shifting consumer habits rather than on decisions made in the Treasury last October. It allows a government that made youth employment more expensive to present itself as the champion of youth opportunity. Youth unemployment stands at 16.2 percent. 729,000 young people are out of work. The ladder into employment was kicked away by this government's own budget. Pat McFadden has written a nostalgic column about delivering newspapers. The connection between those two facts is the story he will not tell.

Where's all the stuff he bought? It can't just have disappeared. Who has the £2,600 salt and pepper set? Who has all the games consoles? Who has the £3,500 robot lawn mower? Who has the 2 £5,000 watches? Who has the luxury pens? Does anyone know? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Great advert for Restore Britain in the latest Times attack piece...

This further statement from Sturgeon reminds me of when she and Murrell claimed they didn’t discuss why Alex Salmond pitched up at their home one night accompanied by his KC. Unbelievable then and unbelievable now. Her solicitor: Aamer Anwar …

In Sweden, a study was conducted on refugees who had been granted asylum after claiming to flee oppression or war zones. It was found that 79% had returned to their home countries on vacation at some point!

No we know why Bain resigned. She knew the dots were being joined up & sooner or later questions would be asked on why the court case was delayed until after the election - only for Sturgeon's man to suddenly plead guilty. The whole thing stinks of corruption.

@Montylockedout Good morning, Terrie. Currently 15° with us. Pleasantly warm. 😊☕️

Good morning Twitterpaters and Happy Sweaty terrific Tuesday 💙🦋😰😜 How did you sleep?

🇩🇪 A 20-year-old illegal Afghan migrant sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl and threatened her with a knife at a special needs school in Germany. Nassar S., a 20-year-old unemployed Afghan migrant, has been arrested after brutally assaulting an 11-year-old girl at the Hans-Zulliger-Schule, a special needs school in Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate. Together with a 19-year-old accomplice, he entered the school grounds despite prohibition signs. The girl was attacked in the toilet room, where she was threatened with a knife during the assault. The victim only told her sister about the horrific assault two days later. Although Nassar S. was arrested, his accomplice escaped and is still at large.

Nicola Sturgeon allegedly hid behind “no comment” for seven hours when questioned by the police over Murrells £400K fraud. The rotten culture at the top of the SNP is impossible to ignore now. thescottishsun.co.uk/news/16305227/…

Can you imagine if we had voted for independence with all those SNP crooks in charge of our finances?

“I am angry, hurt, sad and very distressed about the impact of his actions on family, friends and the SNP” Only one person wore the trousers in the Sturgeon/ Murrell ‘relationship’ and it was the brass necked chancer I’ve just quoted 🎭

JUDGE GARY WOODHALL ⛔️⛔️⛔️ Judge WOODHALL allowed convicted paedophile Alan Clutterbuck who had 34,569 incident images of children some of which were infants to walk from his court room on a community order. Pedophillia is being decriminalised by the day. This is deliberate.

Eleven Rape Convictions. Not One Day In Custody. And Lammy Wants to Go Further. Two girls were raped in a New Forest town in November 2024 and January 2025. They were fifteen and fourteen years old. Their attackers filmed the assaults, shared the footage online and laughed. One of the girls was raped at knifepoint. Three boys walked out of Southampton Crown Court with youth rehabilitation orders and a three month curfew. Eleven rape convictions between them. Not one day in custody. The first girl read her victim impact statement at sentencing. I was caught off guard. I will never get that innocence back. All I want to do is die. I no longer have fear for when that comes. The judge praised her courage. He then told her attackers none of you need to go to prison today. Judge Nicholas Rowland cited their very young ages, their ADHD diagnoses, their low intellectual capacity and the importance of avoiding criminalising children unnecessarily. He was following the Sentencing Council's guidance precisely. Custody is a last resort. Rehabilitation is the primary purpose. The sentence is not the judge's failure. It is the policy's product. Which makes what David Lammy is simultaneously planning considerably more alarming than the sentences themselves. The Justice Secretary is weighing proposals to extend that same framework, treating offenders as children, prioritising rehabilitation over punishment, minimising custody, to all offenders under 25. The Scottish model he is considering produced a killer rapist who set a woman on fire receiving five fewer years than he would have otherwise. It produced a man who repeatedly raped a thirteen year old girl avoiding prison entirely. Lammy wants to bring that framework to England and Wales while Lord Hermer urgently reviews sentences that are its direct and inevitable consequence. The Attorney General who removed trial by jury for thousands of defendants has 28 days to decide whether filming a knifepoint gang rape and sharing it online warrants custody. The same man who ensured extra court capacity was in place for last weekend's Unite ghe Kingdom march is taking nearly a month to answer that question. The second girl's statement was read on her behalf. She described nightmares, inability to sleep and feeling ashamed and insecure in her own body. The person I was before the incident has completely gone and sometimes I feel like I am grieving the person I used to be. Under the framework Lammy is proposing, the boys who produced that grief would continue to be treated as children requiring support rather than adults requiring consequences. Former Met Police detective Peter Bleksley's call to bring back borstals will be dismissed in progressive circles as nostalgic authoritarianism. It deserves more serious engagement than that. The borstal system, whatever its flaws, operated on a principle the current framework has abandoned entirely. That young people who commit serious offences require structure, discipline and consequence rather than community orders and supervision. The evidence that rehabilitation focused community sentences deter serious youth offending is thin. The evidence from Scotland that treating young adult offenders as children produces lighter sentences for grave crimes is documented. The Fordingbridge victims are not statistics in a sentencing review. They are two girls whose lives have been permanently altered by three boys who will be back in their communities within months. The policy that produced their sentences is the same policy the government is planning to expand. Lord Hermer's shock is noted. His government's direction of travel tells a different story. The sentence was not a miscarriage of justice. It was justice as currently defined. That is the most alarming observation of all. "Lammy wants to bring that framework to England and Wales while Lord Hermer urgently reviews sentences that are its direct and inevitable consequence."
