Nothing angers me more than the behaviour of the Scottish govt. How much must be lost for childish political ideology. In other news I’m a Hearts and BHAFC fan

I am so sad to hear of the death of Danny Kelly. I couple of times over the last few months I had looked for an update on his condition as I so desperately wanted him to make it back to the airwaves. Hearing his final broadcast where he spoke so openly makes all the more awful.

Harry Kane has scored 4 more goals for England (87) than Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer combined in SIXTY less games (123 vs 183). Absolutely ridiculous statistics.

Petition: Hold a referendum on abolishing the Scottish Parliament & Government
We call on the UK Government to legislate on holding a referendum in Scotland to decide whether the Scottish Parliament & Government should be abolished.

If Robert Sanchez was putting in the sort of performances for Chelsea that Emi Martinez is then there would be a whole section on Monday Night football analysing it. He’s been atrocious and is clearly way past his best. Why don’t they just sign an actual elite keeper?

Humanity is doomed. The global stock market is based on the success of AI companies. If they fail it fails. Immediate urgent regulation is needed to stop companies building self improving AI that they will lose control of. It will wipe humanity out. It’s a world ending doom loop

Apparently we’d be about £3000 better off if we were to join the EU as an independent Scotland so I’ve been doing a little bit of digging to see how much of this is credible.
1/ Scotland has a large deficit of about £26.2b that’s 11% of GDP that’s much higher than the UK overall 5.2%.
2/National debt: Scotland would have to take on its fair share of debt estimated at around £200b
3/Scotland about 66% trade with the rest of the UK which is by far our biggest trading partner. A hard border would slow trade and put barriers on trade.
4/Security: Scotland would lose immediate access to shared UK defence and intelligence networks.
5/ Entry into the EU is not a given with a deficit of at least 11%. It would also need all 27 nations to agree. Scotland would need to take the euro and have a detailed economic plan of austerity to bring down the deficit to below 3%.
6/ Scotland gets more per head than any other part of the UK by £2,720 higher.
The £3000 better of claim comes from a report from a Stanford university professor Nick Bloom who suggests Brexit has costs the UK 8% of our GDP potential. Which equates to £3000 per person. The SNP think that means we’d be £3000 better of if we entered the EU it’s a flawed argument they don’t take into account the damage done by leaving the UK. Which would be far worse than Brexit.
To all @theSNP voters and all nationalists, just start being honest, you are prepared to tolerate anything, no matter how awful for our country to pursue you independence dream. If you did just admit you will accept any collateral damage I’d respect you more than defending this

I’m sat on an Avanti West Coast train because my flight was cancelled in the chaos. The train departed late. The WiFi doesn’t work. It is no wonder we can’t grow our GDP even when I want to be productive and work hard the basic infrastructure is so crap. This country is a joke.

Short of Nigel Farage coming on stage dressed in full SS uniform while chopping the head off puppies it’s hard to thing how the optics of this conference could be any worse for Reform. Ordinary people shudder at the shambles of it all. Imagine them in number 10, god no.

Just 🤬 off!! Nothing is free. Universal “free” breakfast clubs mean middle-income workers will be squeezed through higher taxes so that high-earning households can also drop their children off for a state-provided meal they could easily pay for themselves. That is not compassion; it is a transfer from people already carrying the load to families who do not need the subsidy.
The same pattern appears in baby boxes and free school bags: a photogenic giveaway dressed up as care for children while the bill is quietly passed to taxpayers who get no choice and no exemption. Calling it “the best start” while refusing to say who actually pays is vote-seeking, not principle. It treats the public purse as a campaign prop and the children as props too. That is social theft dressed as kindness.
#RejoinEU The Iceland referendum outcome is devastating for @JohnSwinney. It emphasises the totally contradictory position of wanting ‘independence’ from UK but then joining EU. You simply can’t make a rationale case for one and not the other without it just being ‘England’ bad.
