Not true. Trump wanted the previous incumbent to stay.

Not to be a broken record, but why on earth is Ed Balls there interviewing his wife's work colleagues about a scandal involving the government department she currently runs?

Scottish Labour MSP hopeful reported to watchdog over 'data breach'

Scottish Labour candidate Paul Sweeney has been reported to a watchdog after sending out a mass 'campaign' email

It's a bold strategy with the elections just a couple of weeks away.

Occam's kazoo! A perfect explanation of Trump's motives.

Either #ScottishIndependence lands soon, or Scotland is in significant trouble for a very long time.

Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

All the controversy on the SNP looking at price caps on essential food, I would ask you to read this little snip it from Bloomberg .

I imagine it's in the same Qatari bank account that the Orange felon is stashing the proceeds of Venezuela's oil sales in. Remember that?

Mendaciously would be a better adverb than inadvertently. He either knew he hadn't seen any vetting or he'd seen it and ignored it. This really isn't good enough for a PM who promised to do away with the scandal and incompetence of the previous government.

Remember when you vote next month.

Labour warned against ‘ill-thought-out’ welfare cuts to boost defence budget The suggestion has been branded ‘extremely concerning’

Wes Streeting supports welfare cuts to fund defence.

Fatal flaw: Keir Starmer’s leadership vacuum threatens to swallow him up The PM’s current and former colleagues say the Mandelson scandal has exposed the hollowness of his hands-off style.

"'Lots of people think Keir Starmer is a good man who is out of his depth,' said one Labour insider. 'Wrong. He’s an asshole who’s out of his depth.'"

If there was one thing Abla was good for, it was mopping up the votes of the right wing of the indy movement. That just leaves the ISP, (who I always decline to describe on the basis that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all), and independents.

Richard Stupid Tice would like to clarify that the £100k in tax he hasn't paid is different to the £92k tax he hasn't paid or the £600k tax he hasn't paid. Just in case anyone didn't appreciate the extent of his tax dodging. I mean fiscal prudence.

It's because so many people voted for him to be better than this. To reverse the Tories' abominable cruelties, not exceed them. To come up with new equitable policies, not trying to out-Reform Reform. People knew what they were getting with Johnson. Starmer is very much not as advertised.

*It's a street in Mallorca and I'm drinking a mango daiquiri, but it's still a street.

I'm on a street*. And I'm absolutely furious that the PM didn't even check to find out if Mandelson had passed vetting before appointing him. Especially since Mandy's entire career makes it very obvious that it could be an issue, even to a PM as allegedly naïve as Starmer.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Hard to do while allowing "free speech", but prosecutions under revised libel or fraud laws (getting a job as an MSP on the back of making shit up could be seen as either, depending) would focus some minds, I'm sure.
