The police investigation into SNP finances has now been running for 2 and a half years. There's absolutely no doubt that the arrests of Murrell and Sturgeon are hanging over the wider fortunes of the SNP. I can't see how they can move forward until or unless the police complete these enquiries one way or the other. Scotland is not well served remaining in a union where Suella Braverman could be PM within 6 years.

I fear you're doing Malaga a disservice. Malia ... fair enough. I once had to take part in a works team building treasure hunt of an evening, having had to suffer the more formal day time team building stuff. Would not repeat.

Very few people would disagree that it's a good idea to stop these trafficking boats coming across the Channel. In that respect the Tory slogan is fine. What's not fine is the absolute lack of anything like a coherent, humanitarian policy to manage asylum requests. Stopping illegal immigration whilst supporting international treaties on asylum costs money. You could argue we already spend a lot of money (on 4 star hotels ... ) but actually developing a progressive system would really stick in the throat of the child of immigration that is Braverman. She'll not be long before she's putting children in cages.

I never had a sense that Sunak would be any use but I've been surprised at just how appallingly bad he is - an absolute fucking arsehole of a boy.

The Home Secretary certainly seems to be so minded.

Braverman wading into a live case like a tramp with chips. Remember when nobody would comment on the Sue Gray stuff because there were live investigations ... https://twitter.com/SuellaBraverman/status/1705854919171768585

I've no time for Celtic or indeed the influence of daft money in football. Celtic made an operating profit before tax of £40m to June 2023. Nottingham Forest signed 20+ players last summer, including one where the deal is worth up to £42m. Forest spent £42m on one player for the sole purpose of finishing 17th in their league. By what measure can Celtic expect to make signings which will enable them to compete at Champions League group stage or knockout level? Aye, they'll continue to outspend the rest by bringing in £3m duds but, apart from finding the odd diamond in the dirt (as they've done), that's about as far as they can go. They, along with the rest of us in Scottish football, are fucked at European level unless they can enjoy the trappings of a small gulf state buying them. Then they can pretend that whatever progress they make is all down to them having a brilliant set of supporters. It seems to be working in places not too far away who had won f**k all for decades and are now "giants" of the game.

Loathe as I am to engage with someone leaning towards the Rees Mogg end of the spectrum here goes ... Nah, f**k it.

Forthbank probably requires the least amount of effort to televise a match at this level.

I think what you've actually got is "a celebrity list".

To be fair to him, Fergus is well positioned to lead the right of centre party in an independent Scotland.

Ferries.

Are they managing to polish this particular turd?

Absolute arsehole https://twitter.com/IanMurrayMP/status/1701218026895417824

But not for Ten Haag apparently. Man It's are blessed with committed superstars right enough ...

They won't be after the next election ... maybe.

With or without a guard?

Not so sure I agree with that. In European terms that lot were dugmeat.

Given the eagerness to deport children of the Windrush generation, this govt is more likely to seek payment from countries for all the training their ancestors were given back in the day.

£30m.

Wallace resigns as Defence Sec. Shapps getting the gig. Standard appt - absolute arsehole.

RSPB getting fired into these c***s now. https://twitter.com/RSPBEngland/status/1696845799383003180

If he runs out of cash they should lock him up. The article sets out how dangerous these c***s are/were when they were hurling these accusations about. Kudos too for the use of "concomitant". It's been a while.

She's a fucking despicable individual.
