Oh. Yeah.
Still remarkable to me that half the world is doing 'unrestricted social media usage is bad for kids' and 'we need to put chatbots that tell you to kill your family in every classroom and every toy' at the same time

I see we've reached the stage of a scandal where a PM says something that is completely, obviously untrue.
The entire Labour frontbench looks like it has had all political authority drained from it. They look like a funeral procession: Rachel Reeves in particular. And they are attending a funeral: the end days of Starmer's administration. The only question is how long can he hang on? #PMQs
Gregor is lying again and as you can see the high streets with the highest vacancy rates are all in England and Wales so I’m not sure how that’s the fault of the SNP🤔

Saw a Para do Edinburgh wearing a full set of medieval armour once.
Hours after most had finished, Musselburgh still reverberated to his idiotic performative clanking.
Probably raised a lot of money tho
I expect some creative spicing it up with domestic appliances from my ultra keen bean pals.
Do a marathon carrying a kettle £1.
A microwave £5
A small fridge £10
FridgeFreezer £20 etc.

If you want to know what a Scottish Labour government would look like, just look at Labour at Westminster.
In serious times, we’ll focus on what matters: the cost of living, our NHS, our economy, and Scotland’s future with independence.
On May 7, make it Both Votes SNP.
When people face sky-high food costs, energy bills and petrol prices, they need a government that is focused on supporting them.
While Westminster is engulfed in chaos, the SNP will act on the cost of living - capping bus and essential food prices, and expanding childcare.
It’s also the end of the Brexit Shenanigans era (2018-2026) when our leaders, faced with a choice between reordering affairs to improve the lot of the public or just unifying with backroom ghouls like Cummings and McSweeney to prop up the status quo for a few years more, chose the latter. Done.
It’s worth putting this in its broader historical context, I think. This is the end of the Starmer Is Great era (late 2021-2026) when everyone agreed to pretend Sir Keir et al were very intelligent, principled people with smart plans, whom the public would like and want. That stuff is dead, now.
Sure, but I don’t see much here that doesn’t apply in spades to all of the lads who - from the late 2010s - thought “let’s get Peter and his mates in to mutilate the Labour Party and turn it back into a bung-taking powerhouse of unpleasant right wing reactionaries” was a very, very good idea.
For the avoidance of doubt.
But but but Boris "waaaaaaaaah" and/or but but but Liz Truss "waaaaaah" aren't cogent or relevant arguments against Keir Starmer being a useless dishonest waste of skin who must resign.
Consistent theme: Me and my mates can do whatever the fuck we like, behave as horrendously as we want, and if people object to any of it then that is a kind of terrifying ideological derangement
Bookends for a low, dishonest decade here: from cranky auntie Margaret on ITV saying that getting a letter for publicly roaring abuse at her boss reminded her of her relatives under the Third Reich, to Margaret explaining that Jobs For The Lads are fine actually, for the correct type of Lads.
And yes, there’s something very wrong with friends saying to you ‘are there any jobs around’ if you’re in government.

Labour’s share of the vote in today’s YouGov:
England 🏴 17%
Wales 🏴 14%
Scotland 🏴 12%
On 8 May we’ll see how well Labour’s ”fuck off” strategy has worked.
I will vote for the political party that puts it into its manifesto that they will upon winning the election will abolish the Home Office
she has to resign
this is not funny, *especially* if you are the fucking Home Secretary, with the actual fucking power to unilaterally deprive *anyone* of citizenship
