The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

During the Scottish independence referendum campaign Andy Burnham claimed Scots would be forced to drive on the right. He just learned the hard way it's England which is forced to drive on the right, at least politically.

England is driving on the right politically
All is not well in the Labour party. Over the weekend Keir Starmer and his allies took the decision to throw away a by election in order to buy the politically ailing Starmer some more time in offiā¦

More top analysis from Mason. 'Let me tell you why this non-story is a big story.' No mention of the huge risks to Reform and Farage. No assessment of the toxic content of Braverman's speech or the cynicism of the move. No acknowledgment that Reform hit a poll ceiling and bounced down. Just gossip.

BBC Political Editor Chris Mason's take on Suella Braverman is his usual superficial analysis. No reference to the huge risks to Farage & Reform. Nowhere does he address the toxic nature of Braverman's politics. Or the risk of Reform becoming a repository for ex-Tories. Just political tittle-tattle.

A reminder to the news media: āconflicting accountsā is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Amazing how STV don't mention, until paragraph 5 that its all to do with Labour? Why is that? Could it be, they want the Scottish Gov. to come to mind just long enough for those looking at the headlines, and the sub heading to go away with its all to do with the SNP?

Thanks to Brexit, we no longer have to put up with unelected bureaucrats. In other news, the new leader of Reform in Scotland is Lord Malcolm Offord, totally unelected in any capacity whatsoever and appointed as leader by me alone. Still, it's only Scotland.
