Not a fan of Jeremy Clarkson or The Sun, but his Jan 31 column that's doing the rounds on social media is actually spot on.

Long NHS waits in Scotland are coming down - today’s statistics show they have fallen for 7 months in a row.
At the same time, we are performing more operations.
There is still more to do, but this is real progress for patients and a huge credit to our NHS staff. 👏

The truth is the Left Wing parties in the UK, Green, SNP, Cmyru and Your Party need to work together.
It is the only way they can get a majority and get anything done, and the only way the SNP or Cmyru can get the Independence Referendums they want.

4 years ago, we delivered free bus travel for under-22s, now we're calling for it to be expanded. Reducing the cost of public transport is a win-win for people and planet.

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'.
And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.

I'm not being facetious. Epstein was apparently giving talking points to the people pushing anti trans rhetoric in the UK.

It wasn’t the “botched deal” that damaged the UK it was leaving the EU that damaged the UK. The policy solution is blindly obvious:
1. Enter into a customs union with the EU (cf.Türkiye);
2. Apply to rejoin the EEA & single market (cf. Iceland, Norway & Lichtenstein); &
3. Referendum & art. 49 TEU.
