Andy Burnham's Chief of Operations is going to be Lobbying Boss James Purnell Purnell's company was taking money from Apple, Amazon, Water Companies and Energy Companies advising them how to avoid Government regulation and get sweetheart deals Put the problem in charge

++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

Regardless of the rights or wrongs of the referendum, most people now appear to see the UK's future as one of: - membership of a new Euro-centric superblock that includes Canada. - a somewhat inconsequential vassal of the declining United States. The new reality requires mutual reset.

James fucking Purnell? The guy who tried to get Gordon Brown out for David Miliband in a failed coup and then fucked off to be a right wing BBC guy? We're bringing back all the Blairite era ghouls are we - the real inbred spads of that 2005 era is it?

Bollocks! The primary reason Britain's vaccine rollout was more efficient than in Europe was the existence of the NHS! Johnson's, arrogant dismissal of inconvenient facts is one the reasons he was Britain's worst Prime Minister, Truss included - he did more insidious damage, over a longer term...

Very good point. Many Scots - those paying attention - will find the scanty & very quiet coverage of criminal activity by the unionist regime parties - by BBC/BBC Scotland/MSM - utterly disgraceful. There is now almost no trust In BBC Scotland or BBC or Sky as fair, objective & non-political news.

People need to understand: *Nothing* is more important than superior people like that getting what they want. Not your lives and livelihoods, absolutely nothing. In fact, them being denied whatever they want is a sign that we have strayed from the light of God, and we require harsher discipline.

#PMQs. Whatever you think of Sir Keir Starmer - and I'm no great fan - Kemi Badenoch's performance today was graceless, classless, undignified and embarrassing to herself... 🤮

So, Burnham’s chief of staff is a Blairite war monger who supported killing 800,000 Iraqi civilians and who supports the IDf genocide in Palestine. Plus ça change…

Same shite different flies.

…scrap the UK.

Ooft

Two dogs. One frontline town. No one left to feed them. They survived by staying together. When our team arrived, they walked into the shelter side by side — and haven’t separated since. You are not invisible. We found you. hfu.org

A public letter printed in The Boston Globe's Saturday newspaper to all Scotland football fans:

"Conducting a coup": the shameless chancerism of Farage & Reform. No one elected Farage Reform leader. Farage appointed Malcolm Offord Scottish leader. Farage appointed Dan Thomas Welsh leader. Not one Tory MP defecting to Reform called a by-election.

Ten years ago today the whole country and its future were sacrificed on the altar of Boris Johnson’s ego, David Cameron’s stupidity and Nigel Farage’s prejudice. A decade thrown away and a nation left angrier and poorer. Thanks, you absoute pricks.

Sam Coates, the non-journalist talking about “the battle for No 11” It’s an appointment made by the new PM, not a cage fight. The UK has crap ‘journalists’

The danger is that the Republican Congress and SCOTUS will let Trump do treason of all kinds, because it is the only way they can keep power. The military and law enforcement have been complicit. Nothing stopping Trump from killing democracy.

Two-thirds of Brits now believe Brexit has made every single issue they care about - whether it’s cost of living, economic growth, opportunities for young people, trade or managing illegal immigration - worse. Happy Brexit anniversary everyone! www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/brexit...

Yep, Plenty of funding to be sought from being an equal member of the European union. Same as the Republic of Ireland & countries smaller than ours who enjoy those benefits.

A new study finds that abortion bans are disrupting pregnancy-related care in general. Pregnant women in states with total abortion bans are nearly twice as likely to die during or shortly after pregnancy, while pregnant Black patients have 3 times the mortality risk of their white counterparts.

looking at news out of the UK and apologies if this has ever come up before, but have they considered reviving the economy by joining a large economic and political consortium of countries nearby, say in Europe?

To get my vote, a 2028 presidential candidate must support #SCOTUS reform, e.g. expanding the court from nine to 13 justices, and term limits for justices (18 years is plenty). The Roberts court is the most unAmerican court in US history. Presidential immunity my ass.

Yesterday's order marks another blow to the Voting Rights Act from the Roberts Court. American voters deserve better than Callais, Brnovich, Shelby — it’s time for Congress to use its power to check SCOTUS with pro-voter legislation. 4/4

Cults never blame the prophecy when it fails... instead, they blame the dissenters and non believers who prevented it from happening.

Andy Burnham is currently under a load of media-driven pressure to "reassure the markets" by appointing a Chancellor whose views are almost entirely out of line with everything he's said so far. How he responds will tell us whether he actually wants to change how Westminster works

Today I signed an Executive Order for every worker exposed to extreme heat on the job. It requires multilingual heat safety guidance for workers, a review of construction site heat safety practices, and heat illness prevention plans at every mayoral agency.

"The Golders Green incident – in which two people were wounded in an allegedly antisemitic attack – received around 20 times more online news coverage than the Leith incident – in which five people were wounded in an allegedly Islamophobic attack." www.thenational.scot/news/2622098...

Egypt and Iran have requested that Pride events in Seattle during their World Cup match be canceled and… no. Welcome to Seattle. This might be the most patriotic I’ve felt in my life. Pride isn’t happening during your game; you’re here during Pride. Suck a rainbow. apnews.com/article/worl...

Just sharing this again at a time of what's happening in Australia. In Event Horizon Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform remove the Union Flag from the corner & for it to be replaced with the Aboriginal flag, the way he thought it should look in 2047

Norway celebrating Viking style after their 3-2 win over Senegal and going through to knockout stage. 🤣Brilliant!! 🇳🇴

The fact that people are upset a soccer player left his team during the World Cup to be at the birth of his first child is telling. I'm thrilled he will experience true tears of joy, stemming from something other than a game, while I weep for the world that says that child is not important.

Hustler Magazine, March 2003 (in the lead up to Iraq) 23 years ago......

Shoutout to the Seattle airport for having restrooms for all: men, women, all genders, families, and pets. But what is really amazing is that they had a restroom for those with disabilities and medical needs and companions that had a large table for changes. What a great thing to have. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You already got one, and you didn't like it.

I am profoundly ashamed of how our government treated the Iranian soccer team. They were classy the whole time. But FIFA cheated to get them out. And we treated them like shit. Not the fans. The fans were great. But the officials and organizers were ghastly. We started the war with Iran.

Keir Starmer’s legacy will 'forever be marred' for lending support to Israel during the genocide in Gaza. He will be remembered for selling weapons to Israel while it flattened Gaza and starved civilians, according to Medical Aid for Palestinians. Read more: www.thenational.scot/news/2...

10 years of No10 poltroons and perma-fucking-chaos. Not one of them had the guts to stand up to the minority hard right and say enough! Next‽

Strange that Reform ex-Tory Suella Braverman chooses to ignore that Nigel Farage never bothered with the inconvenience of a leadership election when he became leader of Reform. Or when Malcolm Offord was imposed as leader of Reform Scotland & Dan Thomas in Wales by Farage.

I wonder how many of us would be as composed as Iran has been at a World Cup where they’ve been treated badly every step of the way.

Has Starmer fucked off yet? Asking for Scotland so we can look forward to more abject failure & democracy denial from Burnham, Friend of Israel & grifter elect to the position of chief despot of Scotland's resources. I fucking hate the British political system & it's lack of transparent democracy.

Can we finally all agree that the argument “we should run the country like a business, and therefore elect businessmen to run it” has been a failed experiment?

Research has shown that dogs are more intelligent than we think. But not all of them.

I told Rob Kenyon not to get too disheartened. After all, nobody elected Zia Yusuf either, but that doesn't stop him spouting bollocks on TV every other day and pretending he's a shadow minister.

Two weeks ago, Trump said Iran’s navy was totally destroyed. Today, the strait is closed again by Iran navy because of Israel’s bombing of civilians—another lie by Trump and another massacre by Trump’s best friend.

No Farage statement about ‘cold rage’ concerning the Edinburgh incident? He must be on holiday.

"Between 1995 and 2020, #biodiversity loss rose by around 80%. But this is not primarily caused by global population growth....EU, China, US together account for >80% of impacts" #PlanetaryBoundaries phys.org/news/2026-06...

Welp, guess that settles it 🙃

Wait! What?! Farage granted an in person meeting with BofE’s governor, Andrew Bailey, so he could urge the BofE to drop plans for a state-run digital pound – known as Britcoin. Why? Why did HE get such a meeting.
