3. Walk at least 15k steps a day
4. Go to the cinema at least once a month
5. Start using a proper to-do list

i am not going to be tut-tutted by an overwhelming majority of libertarians who have spent the entire trump era sitting on their hands, tacitly approving, or enthusiastically approving virtually everything trump has done
if Ed Miliband gets this he'll be the first British Prime Minister to have tried to listen to me drunkenly tell an anecdote and got so bored by it that he walked out of the conversation halfway through a sentence

no, you're specifically shit against Scotland

I have, I was just pointing you were shit last year too

you beat them 68-14 away last year and you beat us at home because of dodgy refereeing and Finn Russell unable to convert

It is incredible, right?

May as well go all-in and given it’s at Murrayfield and England are shit against Scotland it’s not unlikely

Hé can look forward to Scotland beating England at the rugby

Keir Starmer sitting at his desk, knowing that he can struggle on or by 6pm he could be knocking back his second Kingfisher whilst waiting for his butter chicken and plain naan to turn up.

Luckily, i have almost negative impact in any of this.

Every half-decent tweet ends up having a typo

With good reason although Sarwar being crap is a big part of that.

Perhaps, but I get the impression (and I’m watching this all from the outside) he won’t survive that long.

The provinces are revolting again*

(I’m Scottish, I’m allowed)

They’re going to get trashed in the locals, right? At the point it just becomes inevitable, no? (Even allowing for the mess that’s left to his successor)

If he’s not going to lead into the election then get him out yesterday.

good luck with it all.

sorry, it was a joke. My bad. Apologies
I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.

and while not easy (least of all because the EU needs to play along too), there are many many positive downstream benefits of such a project which do not flow from the alternative.

the Bluesky Greta Thunberg?

titles? as in being PM to say you're PM?

I called my pet sparrow Buster...
Just learned that the testicles of sparrows increase in size by over 100 times every spring. I hope everyone has a nice day.

he's a bad man by all accounts

I hope we beat England but still finish 4th as that's the only way Townsend goes

The main reason I object to the bans is that they're such a weasel way of blaming the consumers instead of the producers. It's in the same boat as telling us that averting catastrophic climate change is fully our responsibility & hinges on how well we wash out our yoghurt pots on bin day.

Scotland is to the UK what Puerto Rico is to the US. In this essay I will

why does a Scottish newspaper feel the need to cover this?
