Federal agents kicking in the door of your restaurant and confiscating the small plates.

A blinder. Starmer the blinder playing foreign policy wizard and Trump Whisperer has played another blinder.

is that good

I wasn't going to blog again today but some stories can't be missed - BBC Scotland has been humiliated as its own polling shows a lead for independence, a Yes majority when don't knows are removed. Pacific Quay is in full on damage limitation mode. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/03/03/h...

BBC Scotland can't bring itself to say support for indy is greater than opposition to it, though its own poll puts yes on 47% and no on 44%, 51.6% Yes with don't knows removed. Ever since yes started to lead consistently in polls the line from the BBC has been Scotland is divided on independence.

Where we are: The future of Iran, Greenland and Venezuela are matters for their people, according to various UKgov peeps. Not you though, Scotland. Sit down. #Scotland #Holyrood26

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/0210...

Despite winter pressures, Scotland's NHS is turning a corner, and we will keep building on it. 🩺 6.1% increase in operations in the last 12 months ⏳ Long waits falling for 8 consecutive months Thank you to our fantastic NHS staff for all your hard work. 👏

This. This. 1000 times this.

Sorry, no: these excuses are open to people who made some effort to resist and speak against America’s insane wars, against the increasingly open fascism and racism, against its genocide, against Trump himself. These excuses are not available for Sir Keir, who has tried to play along throughout.

Note here that this isn’t Trump accusing the British government of anything. This is the Sun telling Trump that Sir Keir is pandering to a particular ethnic group and inviting him to agree.

Indeed, so you have to wonder why all the lads were foaming at the mouth about how obviously and effortlessly superior it was to what came before, and how angrily certain they were that the public would simply love it and stampede to buy into it.

And remember what that pollster said on Channel 4: Sir Keir’s Labour has no floor. Every previous leader had at least some chunk of the public rooting for it, people who liked and wanted it. Almost nobody likes or wants the grim crackdowns, billowing union flags and Farageian migrant terror version.

According to the Electoral Calculus user specified calculator, if these Yougov polling numbers were repeated at a GE, then Reform would be 41 seats short of a majority. The Greens would be in second place, and Labour would be SIXTH behind the LibDems, Tories and SNP. Labour would have just 28 MPs.

This is a rotten idea

My statement on the deeply concerning escalation of the conflict following the United States and Israel’s strikes on Iran.

"This is not a orange, it's an ahhhh, it's an ahhhhh, it's a small green Czechoslovakia poloce woman."

The SNP have hit out at the projected costs for the Labour Government’s flagship nuclear project, highlighting that it will 'cost more than Scotland’s block grant'

An appalling company, feel sorry for its staff www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As we watch Labour, Reform and the Tories fight to see who can be the most poisonously unpleasant, let’s recall all the lads agreed even suspicion of racism is toxic in politics, and that simply not taking sufficient action to tackle it in other people is totally invalidating for public figures.

It dates me but every time I see Hegseth I think of Kevin Kline’s character Otto in A Fish Called Wanda. Although Otto was brighter and more likeable.

sorry, Britain’s full-up, we can’t have these Dubai immigrants coming over wanting their all-day buffets by a pool & not integrating with British culture

Kemi here saying the quiet part out loud: the business of parliament is ensuring that the great looting and death machine rampages on, unimpeded by the views of silly people who don’t matter and must be ignored.

I want this in the standard Labour dossier (dodgy) format please.

It’s generally a good rule not to put a press release out unless you’ve got something material to back it up.

Have we heard any more from Democracy Volunteers today? It would be genuinely interesting to understand more about their reports from the by-election. Pretty important too.

Hey Mr Starmer, be more like this guy if you want any kind of respect left before they boot you out of office!

We shouldn’t be helping this proud and boastful fascist government with their catastrophic and murderous new war regardless, but the fact they are so openly contemptuous of us just underlines that we should be telling them No, regardless of what they request.

Democracy in the UK 😄

Oh fuck off with your performative racism Labour and Tories. The full on racists are voting Reform no matter how much you try and appeal to them. How about trying to appeal to the 70% of the public that aren’t irredeemably racist?

Again, there's zero point complaining about individual members of the House of Lords. Not when it would be better to simply bulldoze the entire rotten edifice and its contents into the Thames.

been avoiding getting an energy tariff since i moved in and watched the news and immediately got a 1 year fixed tariff lmao

War in Iran has a serious impact on oil and gas prices. You know, I can't think of a global conflict that could have a similar impact on solar or wind access.

I once referred to Dubai as 'LinkedIn with beheadings' on Twitter and got two days of men in ill-fitting jackets telling me I was British as if it were some kind of own.

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

The Blinder Player plays blindly

Which Labour Party are you talking here? The one with Wes Streeting, Yvetter Cooper and Stevwle Reed in it? That one. That mad right wing anti immigrant Labour Party? That one? Right.

The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

Centcom update on Operation Epic Fail www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/PRESS-...

Labour Stans watching another tweet die and knowing what's coming...

"Professor Jacob George is recused from *further* involvement on the Pathways clinical trial as a precaution.” Am pleased they admit he was involved. But you can't cure bias after the fact and our lawyers will be writing to the MHRA about its ascientific 'concerns' about the trials.

Cool hey did anything happen *before* 1979 between the United States and Iran

He's a useless bollockless tart

Don't Balls it up again.

But here in this graveyard that's still No Man's Land The countless white crosses in mute witness stand To man's blind indifference to his fellow man. And a whole generation who were butchered and damned.

*sad trombone*

Genius.

Who had "drag us into an illegal war" on their Labour Government bingo card? Starmer, apparently.
