If you think that calling immigration protesters right wing or fascist is a bad idea then compare this clip of Holocaust denier Alistair McConnachie describing his idea of what constitutes a 'native scot' with the 1930's German Nazi's Nuremburg laws.

Ed Miliband seems a nice guy and funny on socials. However, I cannot forgive him for his cowardice and capitulation over the Falkirk by-election selection scandal which ulimately led to the Corbyn era and the near death of Labour.
Odds of Ed Miliband being next PM are hugely underrated.

The news that Jordan Lindens accusers shall get their day in court at long last is to be welcomed.
There is a problem in that Linden was able to attain the position of council leader despite credible allegations.
Kudos to Jamie Ross for breaking and Hannah Rodger for pursuing.

Ok, Starmer recommitting to Supreme court ruling in full. Who wants my vote in SP26? Reform can fuck off naturally. Lid Dems looking like least bad option. It’ll be meaningless where I live, but I can’t pinch my nose with Labour any longer.

Labour are not making enough of their successes and getting bogged down in the wrong battles. Their PR is awful. It's going to be brutal in Holyrood next year.
Labour have already achieved 18 of their manifesto pledges with another 18 on track & another 22 in progress.
These include the biggest extension of workers rights in a generation, the Renters Bill, the nationalisation of the rail network & the Buses Bill.

But but Trump is bad is not a defence for the BBC getting this so badly wrong. For the BBC to mean anything we need to be able to trust it. I don’t know if we can, and that has everything to do with the BBC and nothing at all to do with Trump.

From the humble video editor hitting the I and O keys, through the programme producer, through series producer, department director to the dg.. what the fuck BBC. You are not rookies.. and this was no rookie error. No journalism 101 libel training? You handed an easy win to an enemy of free press.

The New York Post didn't back Zohran Mamdani, so did this hit job on him.
Mamdani fans bought every issue, giving the NYP its first sell-out edition for years, throwing the paper's management in a political/financial conundrum.
