European Scot. Happy that the Tories are out, but not expecting to see many progressive policies from New New Labour. Independence remains the best choice for Scotland #FBPE

Just heard a deluded Labour MP on Today claiming that the best way to stop the small boats is to go after the smuggling gangs. Nonsense the best way to deal with it is to establish a safe route for refugees and work internationally to remove the horrors which cause refugees.

This needs to be taken very seriously. All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations

Elmo spent Billions buying the “Dark-side” as well as allegedly influencing the American election.
There are also rumours that he wants to impact future UK elections by supporting #FarageRiots in his dream to become PM.
What Elmo can’t do (yet) is to “turn back the clock” on photos like this…..

The last government (Matt Handjob) dropped the second phase of the Leveson inquiry into press standards (remember the phone-hacking scandal)
Handjob told the Commons: “We do not believe that reopening this costly and time-consuming public inquiry is the right way forward.”
