Scottish Labour is such a failed political project that I struggle to find the energy to criticise it. Read the title, if guess.

Keir Starter will be remembered as an ineffective, unlikable, careerist while alive, and forgotten a week after his death.

Despicable, spineless, genocide enabler. Dumb as fuck, too.
BREAKING: The UK Government is 'pitting refugees against each other', a Ukrainian campaign group has said

The only thing this proves is that I used Spotify exclusively for podcasts, to listen to something people don't shut up about or during April's Portuguese Revolution celebrations ☺️✊
