@LesleyRiddoch @johnnie_mc Who are these folk working for? x.com/i/status/20550…

The unanswered question is why Josh Simons threw himself on his sword and resigned his Makerfield seat for Andy Burnham? He ran Labour Together & along with Morgan McSweeny and Mandelson nurtured Starmer as Labour leader, and organised a savage campaign to remove Jeremy Corbyn.

@LesleyRiddoch @Sheilam19534814 Voters aren’t fooled by ‘Change’ meaning the Leader but not the Policies In 10 years since Brexit there’s been 6 PMs at Westminster, on average 1 every 18 months Prior to Brexit there’s been 12 during 1955 and 2016.

Even Bobby’s shower flashback in Dallas has nothing on Labour’s psychodrama. This is the strong & stable UK Scotland apparently cannot do without. These are the indispensable, political grown-ups. Wake up everyone. Time for Scots to run the show ourselves thenational.scot/comment/261050…

Steve Wright, Fire Brigades Union, criticises Reform UK, "You've got Nigel Farage acting like he's the voice of the working class" "He's admitted to taking a £5,000,000 donation" "Richard Tice said he would attack our pensions, he would come for public sector pay, they would not invest in public services" "The only people who would benefit would be the billionaire class" "And it's quite rich of Danny Kruger to say that a Reform government would be able to fix the crisis that we see now" "None of them are talking about the cost of living crisis, about public services that have been decimated after 14 years of austerity" "None of them are talking about inequality that exists" "That's why people have gone out and voted the way they do because Keir Starmer has no delivered on that"

‘This story just adds insult to injury for them.' Nigel Farage insists people ‘don’t care’ about the £2 million he earned when not representing his constituents. James O’Brien and Shivani Sharma gauge the local mood in Clacton…

@murdo_fraser So when do you plan to actually win an election?

So Nigel Farage is now saying he paid for his £1.4 million house in cash after an appearance on #imacelebrity in 2023 six year after saying he was skint. I’m pretty sure his appearance fee was nothing close to this after he paid tax so where did the rest come from? #FarageOut

Another one bites the dust… This news must be hard to bare for his friends and supporters. #Reform thepinknews.com/2026/05/15/ref…

Morning all 💚

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 If Scotland can achieve all this under the shackles of Westminster, just imagine what we could do with our independence!

Rather strange that people are upset over @theSNP having dialog with @sinnfeinireland but don’t seem to have the same concerns when @conservatives had a formal agreement with @duponline in order to govern the UK. The hypocrisy stinks to high heavens.

The comments about new MSPs taking the oath in different languages is somehow ‘colonising’ Scotland 😭 Being bilingual is a skill, not a threat. Some people hear another language for 10 seconds and act like the country is under attack. Embarrassing.

Ken Murphy is Tesco’s UK CEO and the highest paid supermarket boss. He pays himself £10,800,000 a year, but is registered to pay tax in the Republic of Ireland. Yet he complains that 'costs' are too high so he can't afford to pay his workers.

@curlowurly @Scunnert2 .@paulhutcheon is the gift that keeps on giving with these type of headlines. How tf did he get Journalist of the Year 🤣

So how about telling your constituents all about the radiation leaks… @jackiebmsp … maybe try some honesty this term…

Shameful A young minority politician - who has broken no rules - is elected. Days after their election such is the abuse they suffer they have to be escorted by additional security staff. Those who have led the pile on to Q Manivannan should take a long hard look at themselves.
