Winter can be a challenging time to work in North West Scotland, but it certainly has its moments.

Fact: 59 million Americans speak Spanish. Imagine if they all turned against you, you'd never win anything ever again.

Dear Keir

You've been given an unbelievable opportunity to reset this government and remember (a) you're Labour and (b) what Human Rights are.

Please take it.

Yours in forlorn hope

So glad a debate is finally happening. This goes to the heart of the security of our democratic system. I’ve taken part in court cases against successive governments for their failure to investigate hostile state interference in UK elections - ministers’ lack of curiosity is truly shocking 👇

Crazy that the breaking news wasn’t that Trump posted a blatantly racist video but that he actually took it down.

NEW: A new tool searches your LinkedIn connections for people who are mentioned in the Epstein files.

404 Media tested the tool, called EpsteIn—as in, a mash up of Epstein and LinkedIn—and it appears to work.

Social media tells the public, Starmer (who had zero to do with it) should now go over the Epstein revelations.
Yet Trump stays President & Andrew continues to live like a Prince.
Starmer made a bad choice, that's it.
Prosecute the guilty for the victims.
Don't make political gain out of this.
