why would we spend public money helping the SNP figure out what went wrong with their own internal policies

Solidarity is where it’s at. ✊🏽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

sounds like *someone* delved too greedily and too deep

me in 2029 when Gordon McKee loses his seat:

What's really striking about this clip is that I laid out some of the nonsense against me - and why it was disproportionate. Journalist agrees some of it is "overcooked." But none of my explanation nor the danger around my personal safety has made the cut....!

people denying this like the papers didn’t DM everyone who was so much as his third cousin to try and find dirt on him

Nicola pal, you have to stop with the statements

“Trans women are women” - our members.

Anyone who doesn’t see that Blair essay as anything but PR for the flailing AI industry is a mark and should be treated with as little seriousness as can be afforded

look it’s justreally important you believe God has a penis okay

he thinks AI is going to solve nuclear fusion lmao

I would also posit that this pattern is directly proportional to how distracted I would imagine Nicola Sturgeon would have been in a given year

am I wrong or is the Peter Murrell embezzlement basically unconnected to the Independence Crowdfunder money that went ‘missing’

man Dreyfus really hates that he’s gay

the SNP would have won the same number of seats even if the Murrell guilty plea had been right before the election btw

A really important thing to remember in this heat wave is that good insulation also helps keep your house *cool*. We are desperately in need of modern infrastructure in our homes, but the government refuses to properly invest in it.

I think shops should have a policy that their employees just don’t answer questions if they’re being filmed

is George Galloway still in self-imposed exile in Moscow

Spot the difference between "Tony Blair says" and "Nigel Farage says"

I was going to joke that he was mad we didn’t bomb Iran, but that is actually something he complains about lmao

as church attendance declines we’re heading for a situation where the majority of people in the UK who call themselves ‘Christian’ will be using it to mean ‘not Muslim’

i’ve been legitimately surprised how many places i’ve been lately that have made the switch already

they’ve been supposedly boycotting M&S for this exact policy since Theresa May was in office

that’s ‘using her legal right to remain silent’ to you and me

if you hate the SNP shouldn’t you be thanking Peter Murrell for stealing a bunch of the money they would otherwise have used for campaigning

I’m old enough to remember UKIP leader Nigel Farage removing the whip from Godfrey Bloom MEP for less than this

Lawrence Shankland has the rarely seen ‘Walton Goggins’ hairline

issuing correction on previous post of mine about this pair of utter cranks, you do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to them”

absolute larks if Salmond knew about Murrell’s issues and Sturgeon didn’t www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

a lot of people really do say ‘twink’ because they’re not allowed to say ‘faggot’ any more

look maybe she was mad at him for getting caught but I do think Nicola Sturgeon immediately divorcing Peter Murrell after he got charged is a strong point in the ‘she didn’t know’ column

Craig Murray calling £500 ‘a substantial sum at the time’ when ‘at the time’ is the early 2000s is so funny

actually yes but not in the way you’re implying

I don’t think it undermines the point, but that PhD student research that found there’s only 1 MSP with a working class background is clearly flawed even by its own definitions

"Why did I put myself through the pain of going to court, going through a trial, reliving everything...It sort of gave me the sense of what's the point?" This is a failed justice system. One that has functionally legalised most sex offenses due to the negligible chances of justice being served.

♫ you’ll get accountability with Conservative delivery ♫

wait ‘they just created a million Charlie Kirks’ was Graham Linehan lmao

laser targeted towards their only remaining supporters, the Union Bears

Wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a tiny few, while we're told there's no money for essential public services like the NHS. By developing a Scottish Wealth Tax we could make landowners, polluters and billionaires pay their fair share towards the common good.

Restore are a fake party so this is a Reform lead IMO

the ‘hard won provisions’ are in the same piece of legislation which also contained hard won protections for trans people until the Supreme Court ruled it didn’t, so maybe focus on that

It is clear that Labour needs to lose a lot more before they will learn their lesson.

gave them an inch and they took ten thousand miles

literally none of this happens if Nicola Sturgeon went for GRA reform in the summer of 2019. but she shat it and now hundreds of thousands of trans people across the UK must conduct a risk assessment every time they leave their home for more than a few hours

one thing I will say for Andy Burnham is that it’s impressive he managed to make so many people forgot how shit he is

what’s extra funny is that they put all the horrible transphobic shit in the manifesto that was asked for by the people now calling for their heads

The guidance issued yesterday is a disgrace, and shows just how low Labour have sunk since the days when they believed in equality and human rights. But this is far from over. Legally, politically and practically, this can and will be fought. greens.scot/news/ehrc-gu...

this Labour Government has largely presided over the sharpest uptick in racial, religious, and LGBT+ violence in my lifetime and it's hard to really stress just how much Labour actively chose this
