Two social media posts. The first is from Keir Starmer and reads: “The UK has long supported a transition of power in Venezuela. We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime. I reiterated my support for international law this morning. The UK government will discuss the evolving situation with US counterparts in the days ahead as we seek a safe and peaceful transition to a legitimate government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people.” Below it is a post from Ed Davey that reads: “This cop out isn’t good enough. Standing up for international law means condemning leaders when they break it, whether that’s Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump.”

You really don't have to go to bat for Maduro, even as a jokey comparison to Trump. You really don't.

How do they propose to kill off trans ideology without killing off trans existence?

Against what other vulnerable minority would this be so casually accepted?

Again: they thought they’d win a shattering court victory with the Harry Potter lady’s money, then the public would rise up in gratitude, salute them as heroes and stomp all over transgender people on their behalf. That hasn’t happened, because the public mostly aren’t vicious cranks, like they are.

Thank you to all at the Ferret.

With the Scottish and Welsh elections in May 2026 the Nathan Gill conviction and this pattern of behaviour should be at the forefront of voters minds.

2025 in Review: Parliamentary Polling

A remarkable collapse for Labour - not, by any true means, a recovery for the SNP - raises the likelihood of John Swinney renewing his lease on Bute House.

Come for the chart of shifting party support, stay for the fury at the fact we're going to have one of the most consequential Scottish (and definitely most consequential Welsh) elections since devolution, yet the Westminster media can't stop speculating about PM Farage in 2029 long enough to care.
Even allowing for my disregards, there have been notably few polls this quarter relative to the same period in the last parliament. We had 8 polls then, and nowhere near that many now. Where’s the Norstat? Where’s the Savanta? Where’s the non-SCOOP YouGov? Completely missing in action. There’s a clear reason for this: it costs money to run a poll. Whilst there’s money to be had doing Westminster polling, or it’s easy just to attach it to other polls you’re being paid for, absolutely bloody nobody in the UK-level media gives a enough of toss about what’s going on at Holyrood – or the Senedd Cymru – to pay for polling. I don’t want to belabour the point here, but just for English folk reading this, this is such a good albeit very niche example of why Scots have such a chip on our shoulders. Oh don’t worry, this election is only going to determine our income tax rates over the next five years. It’s only going to shape the NHS that’s relied upon by five and a half million people. It’s only going to have responsibility for a nation’s education system, for its roads, for its police, for loads and loads of basic, every day essentials. It’ll only cross responsibility for £70 billion of public expenditure at some point this term but that’s chump change, eh? Of course that’s not as important as all your breathless whataboutery concerning a potential Farage premiership come 2029! Don’t bother your pretty little heads trying to figure out what’s going on up here for a much more imminent election, which will set the playing field for 57 (and in Wales, another 32) of the seats up for grabs come 2029! Westminster is, of course, the font of all political power in these isles and it’s the only place worth paying attention to! Why, our silly little Parliament is practically a children’s plaything, no? You can all just traipse up here for two weeks at the end of April and start of May and give us your bold pronouncements informed by what you could glean from Wikipedia on your train journey up. I’m sure we can all look forward to such phenomenally astute analysis as this (still uncorrected) piece from the literal Political Editor of the BBC, who appears to think that it’s somehow more embarrassing (and to be clear, it is still very embarrassing) to go through three First Ministers in a year than three Prime Ministers in three months. And why wouldn’t he assume that – after all, Scottish politics is so unserious, it must be our level that had the most embarrassing circumstances. Liz Truss? Never heard of her. Sorry. Looks like I belaboured the point. I just naively assumed that a media ecosystem which is uniformly editorially supportive of the continued existence of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland might do a tiny bit sodding better when it comes to bits of it that aren’t England. I mean it’s not like there’s been any real evidence of such attempts at any point in my lifetime, come to think of it, but still, it’s not unreasonable to expect is it?

Your vote your decision, but let's be clear here, if ReformUK get in via the back door, they will take our NHS away and once it is gone no Political Party will be able to reverse it, it 'will become the will of the people.'

Can yours afford private medical insurance?
