In Scotland, Labour led the charge to abolish Clasue 2A/s.28, against fierce and well-funded opposition, both political and social. And now, we're actively making life worse for people becuase it's tricky and difficult to make the arguement, and we are actively afraid of nuance.

THE BANTER HEURISTIC LIVES!!!

1 week after the Scottish Election, and the person who has benefitted most from the chaos and indecision of UK Labour is, undoubtedly, Anas Sarwar. There has been barely a public peep about his own leadership - which given the result 7 days ago, is long overdue.

THE FUTURE IS NOW!!!

Masterful attempt to invoke Rentoul's Law to perverse effect here. Fair play.

Another Glasgow Building Fire™️.

CURLING!

Oh all the issues I have had with the string of Justice secretaries (including Agenla Constance) this..isn't one of them?

The scars carried byt the Corbyn years by those who stayed are deep and will take a long time to heal. It's an often understimated factor when trying to assess personal-relationships in the Labour Party.

TV HUH! WHAT A SHOW! #TheTraitors

THIS HAS BEEN WILD!!! #TheTraitors

OH MY GOD HARRIET YOU REMARKABLE WOMAN!!! #TheTraitors

It will never end. The next 5 years will simply be constant re-litigation and concequence of the last 5 years.

He just announced an American Dictatorship in Venezuela! Astounding...but I'm not astounded!

I would hope the Democrats would step up, but they won't. They'll say he's flouting International and US Constitutional Law to distract from The Epstein Files.

HAPPY "IT'S GREAT BEING SCOTTISH" DAY!

Noone hates the Labour Party more than those that love the Labour Party.

Remember that today is essentially Conveyancers' Christmas Eve - so remember to be kind to your Solicitors today.

FIX! ITS A FIX! #WorldCupDraw

Team #NotC. #WorldCupDraw

DO THE BLOODY DRAW PLEASE!!! #WorldCupDraw

THE TROPHY LOOKS AWFUL! Like Zombie hands crawling out the ground, fighting over the last Ferrero Rocher. #WorldCupDraw

If Rod Stewart isn't invovled, I don't care. #WorldCupDraw

Scotland since Tuesday:

Transwomen are Men. Transmen are Women...unless they look like men...in which case they are men...but cannot use services for men because they are women. Gender is innate and sex is biological reality...unless it's about how you are percieved...in which case it isn't. That's that cleared up then.

FUCKING HELL!

What's the Win Condition for this horrific stuff from the Government? When Reform are Happy? When Asylum numbers fall? What are we looking to actually achieve - because at the moment we just look performatively and needlessly cruel and callous.

The UKSC unanimously holds that the Scottish courts adopted an unduly narrow approach to the admissibility of evidence which might be inconsistent with Article 6 ECHR in some cases BUT that neither appellant in this case had an unfair trial. Full judgment to come shortly.

HOW THE HELL HAS HEANAGED THIS!! #TheCelebrityTraitors

Petition for everyone to have the chance to borrow Celia Imrie for a day for motivational purposes. #CelebrityTraitors

To say I am devastated is to undersell it.

Delighted to see the original cursed ratio getting an airing today. #LabourDeputyLeadership

TOP TIER ROUND TABLE! #TheCelebrityTraitors

Good thing for Kate looks can't kill, otherwise Tom Daly would be facing murder charges! #TheTraitors #CelebrityTraitors

Alan Carr couldn't lie in a bed, let alone on National Setpiece Television. Inspired decision-making from the producers here. #TheTraitors #CelebrityTraitors

Sweep's seen better days hasn't he!

Take a moment, please, to think of the sports subs.

"Will no-one rid me of this meddlesome piece".

I won't comment on the brouhaha...but an absolute belter of a line from the MP here. Is shall be nicked.

Bloody Nora!

The New Jeremy Corbyn Vehicle has already had it's first leadership spat, without it being clear Jeremy Corbyn is involved...or whether there is, in fact, a vehicle. Perfection.

Only the best of the best will do for @holyroodmag.bsky.social.

THE RAINS HAVE COME TO GLASGOW! I AM FREE FROM THE TYRANNY OF POLLEN! #TeamHayfever

Things the ECHR/HRA have 'forced' the UK to do include: 🪖 allow openly LGBT people to serve in the military; 🚽 allow prisoners access to the loo; 🕵️ limit mass survelliance of the public; 🗳️ respect the democratic process; and 👪 not split up families Trump-style. #SupportTheECHR #SupportTheHRA

But like...contextually, it can be. Why is that a controversial statement. Are we going to pretend that we have solved West-of-Scotland sectarianism? #Flegs

I personally find Kevin mcKenna FASCINATING!

Is she...is she giving this speech from Larkhall? It's hard to tell.

Lots of thougths on Hamilton by-election (why is it always Hamilton) but headlines for me are: - Labour Win. - SNP vote still not recovering. - Reform voters previous VID is maybe getting clearer. - You can say SNP>LAB swing is too small; but the importance of the win is the narrative.

GOOD MORNING!
