Delicious to see Labour’s man in Scotland working himself into a frenzy, not knowing that the President messaged John Swinney last night to congratulate him on his role in the deal - followed by a call today.
The difference between a Scottish Leader and a Unionist follower.
Douglas Alexander@D_G_Alexander
John you’ve been caught red handed claiming credit for something you didn’t achieve. Now you’re doubling down. It’s embarrassing. I get it doesn’t fit your world view that the U.K. Govt was working for this whisky deal before, during & after your visit to DC but those are facts.

The Labour Party are going to put 15 Tories back into the House of Lords.
Keir Starmer going all in with his priorities before next week’s elections.
Aubrey Allegretti@breeallegretti
Exc: Keir Starmer set to announce dozens of peerages before the King’s Speech - in a deal to give a quarter of heredities back their spots in the Lords. 15 Tories who lost their hereditary status on Wednesday will return as lifers, along with two Labour peers and around 9 cross-benchers. They’ve had to go through due diligence checks with HOLAC - and may have to take up new titles. thetimes.com/article/e27ea1…

🚨 BREAKING: The former Head of Security at the Foreign Office says he felt under pressure by No 10 to deliver a "rapid outcome" on Peter Mandelson's vetting
English
So why didn’t he just say this in Parliament in the first place then 🥴
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer denies he misled Parliament when he said "no pressure" was applied to Olly Robbins "There are different types of pressure. There’s pressure, ‘Can we get this done quickly,’ which is not an unusual pressure. That is the everyday pressure of Government"

I’m in the Highlands today, where our £2 bus fare cap is already in place.
If re-elected, we will cap all bus fares at £2 across Scotland, keeping more money in people’s pockets.
Make it #BothVotesSNP for real action on the cost of living and a government that’s on your side.

Why can’t the Chancellor just answer the question?

Reminder.
Starmer knew Mandelson had continued his friendship with Epstein when he sent this message.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer messaged Peter Mandelson the night before he announced him as US Ambassador “You’ll be brilliant in challenging circumstances. And after many years of our discussions, we get to work together side by side. I really look forward to that” [@ShippersUnbound]

Abolish the House of Lords.

"There's nothing wrong with friends saying 'are there any jobs around?'" Labour peer Baroness Hodge responds to reports that Downing Street considered giving a diplomatic role to the prime minister's then-director of communications Matthew Doyle. #Newsnight

Possibly the most bizarre intervention from anyone over madcap period of last 48 hours was Margaret Hodge on Newsnight depicting the attempt by Keir Starmer’s office to secure an ambassadorship for Matthew Doyle as some sort of redeployment scheme for unemployed No 10 staff.

Starmer chose to appoint the Prince of Darkness.
And that Darkness has now enveloped him.

Whatever the outcome of this committee hearing #Robbins is coming across as a brilliant civil servant - who is entirely in control of the facts, the sensitivity, the code and the principles of his job. And he is exposing the PM as a leader who either didnt grasp the facts, ignored smart advice - or has chosen to appear outraged when he should not have been.
English
I wrote to Keir Starmer warning him not to appoint Matthew Doyle to the Lords due to his connection with a convicted paedophile.
He ignored those warnings.
And it now turns out he had even higher hopes for Doyle.
Just extraordinary.

***BREAKING*** Sir Keir Starmer considered giving Matthew Doyle an ambassadorship, Sir Olly Robbins reveals He says that in March 2025 Number 10 initiated discussions with him about finding an opportunity for Doyle, who was then the prime minister's director of communications He says he was under 'strict instructions' not to discuss it with David Lammy, the foreign secretary He said he found it hard to explain to colleagues what Doyle's credentials would be for a senior mission role. He says he felt uncomfortable about it and that it would have been hard to defend Doyle was elevated to the Lords. My colleague @Gabriel_Pogrund subsequently revealed that he publicly supported a sex offender after he had been charged
