Best description of Streeting ever! I laughed out loud. 🤣
That this is happening to a PM with a 3 figure majority just over a year after the GE tells you just how badly Starmer is governing. Labour has lost its way to such an extent that Wes Streeting - David Cameron in larval form - is his main challenger.

The UK is nowhere near where it should be. Independence will improve things for Scotland by removing the far right as the major political force.

More than half of Scots want #IndyRef2 — not because of flags or slogans, but because their wallets got thinner and their future got smaller under Westminster. Energy wealth stolen, exports crippled, wages stagnant. Independence isn’t rebellion — it’s economic self‑defence.

This hatred by journalists epitomises all that's wrong with the MSM. Israel is committing genocide, says the UN. Banning such nations from sporting events is common. The football fans are being banned because of thuggish behaviour - NOT because they're Jewish. So a ban seems right there, too. 🤷🏼♂️

Thinking about Andrew’s ‘discussion’ with Chaz Windsor… does Andrew have to stand on the Persian carpet while Chaz removes his ribbons and cords, pulls at his shiny medals and buttons and plucks the feathers from his hat? Some good haberdashery there to be recycled, I’m thinking. Happy to help😇
