    I confess I'm not the greatest fan of the new Gender Bill but even so I was struck by how Huw Edwards described it when covering the story of the Westminster attempt to veto it. 'The Gender Recognition Act', he said, 'passed by Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish Parliament', as if wee Nic did everything Vlad-the-Pute style, and brought in a tame Parliament to rubber stamp it.

     

    I think, btw, Sunak's Government may achieve something remarkable in Scotland in uniting many supporters of the act, many people with reservations, and many who oppose it.

     

    Exact same thing happened a few minutes ago, on BBC 2 Newsnight with Victoria Derbyshire.

    What do you think Labour’s position on a second IndyRef would be if she was leader?  Or whether they supported the Tories on striking down legislation in the devolved Scottish Parliament?
     

     

    I believe she could very well be sympathetic to both, but we'll never know as long as Starmer is in charge.

  3. Stuart Bingham playing some flawless snooker, running away with his match against Shaun Murphy. Heading for 6-0 and a place in the semi-final.

    Murphy's spent most of the night sat on his arse.

    I am still convinced that Labour won't get a huge majority.  At best a small difficult majority or a hung parliament. 

     

    And of course they've absolutely ruled out a coalition with the SNP, which means they will do just that in the event of a hung parliament.

    I spend every Hogmanay watching Frightened Rabbit videos on youtube. They've got Lewis Capaldi on the telly this year. I think I'm glad I don't know anything about the modern world.

     

    You know you're getting old when you watch the likes of Pointless Celebrities or The Chase Celebrities and don't recognise any of them.

    SNP bring on two young, articulate, and passionate politicians to press the case for an independent Scotland. I've no doubt they'll dismantle many an argument in Westminster and show up the Union for the farce that it is. 

    Meanwhile, Labour wheel out Brown to argue for the Union. 

     

    Do you think our favourite failed ex PM will be offering Devo Max Max Max again?
