I grow stuff, like doing a bit of photography and dabble in politics.
Of course, Scotland should have its independence.

The answer to all the media attempts to smear Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP Government and will not tell you about - excess deaths nearly twice as high in England and 20% higher in Wales t.co/vHHPbEUoY3 hidden on Page 45!

Westminster tells you that you are too small and too stupid to make it on your own.
(Maybe Westminster has a point about the stupid part as many Scots seem to believe them).

...and they seem to be obvious contributions but Labour are shamefully thinking about austerity as an option too and are just ignoring the brexit disaster.

Great to see Zack Polanski giving it up 'em!
November 15, 2025 at 1:37 PM
It is but Labour haven't shown any recognisable policy to even start to fix it.
People are desperate for change which Labour promised and they feel cheated.

I'd add that I didn't know who Glassman was either.
November 13, 2025 at 2:18 PM
I think Gardiner got wind of Glassman being on and knowing what he's like, decided to gatecrash, to redress the balance.

Good of Victoria Derbyshire to make space for him. It made for good viewing. As he said, public can't see any direction.

He did seem to have issue with 'progressive'policy!

After reading your article, I watched the news newsnight episode. Very entertaining! I thought you were joking when you said Barry Gardiner walked in, uninvited - but he did! As for the comment 'Barry Gardiner is spot on' - he was too.
As for Glassman, he seems closer to a Tory than many Tories.

Corporate funded think-tanks urge govt to cut benefits, pensions, schools meals, public spending; charge for seeing GPs.

Oppose taxes on the rich.

Support subsidies for auto, steel, film, shipbuilding, oil, gas, biomass, semiconductor, internet and other companies.

It is class war.
Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich
The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

The 'special relationship' with the US is no longer very special is it? He spends a lot of time criticising the UK and its institutions.

Scotland has a special name for Trump though!

BBC Scotland's viewing figures for their news output shows that the BBC died a death in Scotland some time ago.
After the UK Westminster election, I fully expected Labour to quickly address the political appointments to the BBC but, nothing.
Starmer is bereft of any policy that fires imagination.

It was BBC Nick Robinson's lying piece to camera during Alex Salmond's speech that encouraged me to join the SNP.

Scandalous reporting at the time.
November 10, 2025 at 2:14 PM
Effort at accuracy, ok - but it's what they leave out of the news that is sometimes condemning.
It needs an overhaul and this is a good start.

Excellent news.

It's blatent racism. ITV/STV have the same story.
Are we now to refer to everyone's nationality in all stories in the news?
What a sad state of affairs.
November 5, 2025 at 8:01 PM
STV/ITV looking pretty racist with the constant coverage of escaped prisoners, criminals and their nationality.

Don't watch BBC but assume they follow the same line.

I can't imagine who his target voters are now - apart from the millionaires and billionaires and there's not enough of them to get him into Downing Street.

Surely those on low wages, benefits and pensioners would never vote for him...would they?

First time I've watched it in a long time. Was desperately wanting to be there so I could knock a glass of water over 'the twat'.
There's always one.

Exactly! That's all they want and we need immigrants in the workplace - desperately.

It's bonkers.
I'm sure the majority of those asylum seekers have no family or anyone they know, in the north of Scotland, that they can stay in contact with.
It's politically motivated cruelty.
One of the first policies I hoped Labour would tackle was asylum applications- they've failed miserably

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.

Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.

It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

I think Scotland knew that GB Energy was a con when it was first mooted.
I can only imagine the 15 are twiddling their thumbs.

It is outrageous that parliamentary authorities have rejected @declassifieduk.org’s application for a press pass.

This is a flagrant attempt to suppress investigative journalism.

I have tabled an EDM urging the authorities to reverse this decision.
