‘Kemi Badenoch could strip Holyrood of powers if she wins next election’
Now you’re talking. Devolution was a decent enough idea until a bunch of sleekit, unaccountable SNP rogues took power and soured Scotland.

John Swinney won't be able to pop into his local for a pint any more.
Brown & Blacks in Scone is run by an entrepreneur called Katie Long.
Her story sums up everything that's wrong with business rates.
Katie put around £140,000 of her own money into the business. She's done everything she can to make it work.
Her energy costs have risen from £25,000 a year to over £100,000. But the real stinger is that her business rates have gone up from under £20,000 to over £52,000.
How is anyone supposed to make a living with that?
Now think about the knock-on effect: potential job losses at a time of high unemployment, which means less tax coming in and a greater burden on the state.
The First Minister has appointed Jonathan Murphy to look at rates. So here's my offer to Jonathan: let's spend a day together visiting the businesses whose livelihoods are threatened by the current system.

Left: German Nazis executing a Jewish woman with her child in Ivanhorod, 1942.
Right: Palestinian Nazis executing a Jewish woman in Kibbutz Alumim, October 7, 2023.
“Never Again” is now.

The left have imported millions of people from the Third World, lavished them with benefits, and then told them that the “nasty” right-wing parties will take those benefits away unless you vote for us. Sinister, but effective.

You can believe ppl who actually know things or listen to the uninformed nonsense from Toxic Tucker & the UN sources who despite hard evidence accuse @Israel of “genocide.”
Over 75 senior retired 🇺🇸U.S. generals, admirals, and military lawyers have signed a new open letter rejecting claims that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.
The signatories include those who have commanded U.S. armed forces in combat, applying the laws of armed conflict.
Their conclusion: based on the facts and applicable legal standard, the conduct of Israel’s war against Hamas does not constitute genocide.
As the letter states, “Civilian deaths occurring during combat, however tragic, are insufficient, by themselves, to support a finding of genocidal intent.”
The standards used to judge military conduct matter precisely because war is tragic and imperfect.
“The precedent established today regarding Israel will shape the conditions under which American forces fight tomorrow. Protecting civilians and preserving the ability of our nation to defend itself requires us to defend the truth when the laws of war are being distorted to make false charges of genocide.”
This is not an argument for minimizing the suffering of civilians. It is an argument for applying the law faithfully and maintaining the distinctions that matter: between the tragic consequences of war, violations of the laws of armed conflict, and the specific crime of genocide.

Let that sink in. An NHS Integrated Care Board was willing to argue that evidence-based medicine is "just an opinion" and also not cogent or coherent.

because she held a protected belief in the integrity of evidence-based medicine. The respondent defends all claims and specifically the latter claim by pleading that evidence-based medicine is just an opinion, not cogent or coherent and not relevant to a weighty or substantial aspect of human life and behaviour

This is economic illiteracy of a high order.
After separation Scotland would still use sterling. So it would have to borrow in £s to cover its massive budget deficit and promise lenders it would pay back in £s (or they won’t lend).
But after an unspecified transition it would move to a Scottish currency. But all the borrowing done during the transition would have to be paid back in sterling.
If the Scottish currency plummeted v sterling (likely given the size of the deficit, lack of credit track record etc) that could become an unmanageable burden given the likely poor exchange rate.
Scotland would have to borrow billions in its own currency just to convert to sterling to pay back lenders. Devaluing the Scottish currency further.
What a shambles that would be.
He has no idea what he’s talking about.

I know some good people who have been on Palestine marches & have stood and watched, whilst waiting to cross the road, some seemingly reasonable people taking part.
However, anyone taking part in today's so called "protest", whether keffiyehed or not, is definitively a scrote.

The statement by NY Mayor Mandami is an outrageous & disgusting rant & made on a day that ought to honor the over 1200 civilians butchered by Hamas including 46 Americans. His comments are as insensitive & insulting as saying on the 9-11 Anniversary that “While we mourn the loss of those murdered by terrorists we condemn the response of the United States equally .” There is NO genocide in Gaza. The death toll there is due to Hamas having continued to hold hostages (including Americans) and starving, raping, torturing and killing them. An apology for his obtuse and utterly ignorant remarks are not enough. God help the people of New York for electing a a jihadist sympathizer!

Where is the Parliamentary Standards inquiry?
Hannah Spencer should resign her seat.
There is now footage of her campaign coordinator claiming mosques supported her campaign “under cover” during the Gorton & Denton by-election.
If that amounted to unlawful political activity by registered charities, this cannot simply be brushed aside.
Cheating or improper interference during a by-election is a direct threat to our democracy, no matter how big or small.
We cannot allow the rot to set in.
Hannah Spencer should resign and there should be another Gorton & Denton by-election.

Islamist @DillyHussain88 (DH) in Aug 2024 visited Afghanistan. He waxes lyrically about the Taliban, no women's rights, pork, alcohol, LGBT or betting.

DH: You can "live in a Muslim bubble." He refers to during the American/British occupation "religious laxity, fully adopted western notions of freedom & women's rights.. Liked discos & clubs" & the "sexes mixed."
RS: "Muslims in Britain Should Withdraw Their Children from School, Especially the Girls

Abu Dhabi Andy is getting it from every angle.
There is a very simple solution, release all details of any meetings with the Manchester City chairman.
All minutes. All records. Everything.
There is only so long Andy Burnham can run from these calls for transparency.
Release it all.
NEW Kemi Badenoch says Andy Burnham should publish all details of meetings and minutes of any meetings with the Manchester City chairman.
She says: "He should. I'm surprised he hasn't done that already. ... Everything. What the Freedom of Information requests should get those things out. Otherwise what's being hidden?
"I think that the comments he made showed that he still thinks he is the mayor of Manchester. He is not acting like the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom."

Labour’s Home Secretary has admitted that she is letting illegal migrant rapists into Britain.
This weekend, she said in an interview:
“You can almost guarantee that every woman that's in the north of France has probably been raped along the journey”.
Raped by the very same 'asylum seekers' that her government has let in by the tens of thousands.
She is dumping these people in your communities.
At your expense.
Allowed to come and go as they please.
Even paid pocket money by the taxpayer.
They know how dangerous these people are and allow them in anyway.
Only Reform will end this national humiliation for good.
We will detain and deport every single one.
We will put the Royal Navy in the Channel so not one more makes it to our shores.
We will take our country back.

I don’t care if you hate Israel.
The footage of Noa Marciano’s deliberate murder by Hamas “doctors” - via injection of air into her veins - was sent to her parents by the murderers.
This is unspeakable, repulsive, depraved, sadism.
CHILLING: Three years after Noa Marciano was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, her father, Avi, has released a recording of her from Hamas captivity.
It was recorded just four days after Noa was kidnapped. Approximately two months later, she was murdered inside Gaza's Shifa Hospital by a Hamas terrorist who injected air into her veins.
Hamas also sent Noa's family a video of Noa begging for her life before she was murdered.
