The grotesque politicisation of history must end. In Scotland, historical displays in publicly-owned train stations riddled with inaccuracies and propaganda are being used to promote the union. The past is being bastardised to support the causes of the present
My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column
Starmer announced Mandelson's appointment before Robins was in office.
Muted for excessive repetition.
I wish the focus was more on the 2-3 women murdered every week in the UK by cis male partners, exes, fathers and sons. No-one seems to care about that at all. Can we have a campaign against them?
Hypothetically, if elected to government, could they just sell their company to Trump or something?

They didn't agree. Another fabrication by US press/establishment.
Well executed
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Nah - he doesn't remember.
If this isn’t insanity I don’t know what is.
No, but I did act as a McKenzie Friend in a case in the Court of Session for 20 years. As an NCTJ journalist, you might want to look into the usual level of damages awarded in English courts - start with the libel damages ceiling... and then consider the actual costs of raising the actions.
This isn't the US - he will not sue and even if he did, he certainly wouldn't be raking in millions from media companies.
Not advanced - these are all countries in decline.
Yeah, this debacle has taught me that the market is a 'low IQ' entity.
It looked beneficial to me. The UK and the US are looking like what we used to call third world by comparison.
Elon Musk says universal high income will combat AI job losses, but failing that, his preferred option would be to acquire the AI systems they use in Gaza to help him hunt workers for sport.
Maybe Callaghan.
Why does the US have to gameshowify everything? Where's the capacity for adult debate and engagement? It's extremely concerning.
This is the reason the stock market is completely disconnected from the real economy.
In a stunning admission, Sir Keir Starmer has revealed he had absolutely no clue he was prime minister when his old friend Peter Mandelson was appointed as ambassador to the US, last year.

Gosh, she's a satanic looking lass.
Lobbying
We're protected from the worst of what's going's on in England. I don't want Scots to experience it, but if only they knew...
I've had a lot of experience over the past 5 years - both my mum and dad. I can't fault their care. All my family's relatives come from England and they talk about the differences in treatment. My son's mother in law had to give herself painkilling injections after a hysterectomy and no after care.
Never ask a question you don't know the answer to - legal education 101.
Who's Ann Coulter?
Thank you for you. It's a relief to know I'm not alone in this horrific insanity.
Israel bombed an ambulance in Lebanon, and then bombed paramedics that came to the rescue, and then bombed more paramedics that came to the rescue again. What do you mean, you don't support triple taps? Are you some kind of antisemite?
Indeed. Feck 'Friends of Israel'.
