Chauncey Gardiner?

The best of luck Calum with the hustings. It would be great to see you back and representing us again, albeit from Holyrood. We also greatly appreciate your support to keep Channelkirk and six other nurseries open. Ideally we could help reopen some of the other 35 across Scotland closed illegally.

Thanks. It will still be a very consequential election and subsequent weeks.

The 2028 election is what worries me even more than the next 4 years. If Trump, or a Trump surrogate runs on his behalf and loses, Trump will obviously say he won. And then what does Vance do on 6 Jan 2029? Even ahead of that, will MAGA stack the election and election officials?

Agreed. But Trump’s going to screw them

You must never forget it’s all about him and there are enough people in the US willing to bow down to him.

Since when has Trump made sense?

And all the nodding along with the answers by the local Belarusian reporters

Yup, it’s always the economy, stupid

Last summer, I thought he’d run in 2029 on a platform to rejoin CU and SM. But he doesn’t have the luxury of waiting until ‘29, he’ll have to do it by ‘27 or he’ll be a one term PM.

Anyone heard from Musk today on the 80th anniversary?

Excellent. MAGA vs MAGA.

Rumours

It’s likely to come down to a deal with Trump/US or getting much closer to the EU or rejoining CU and SM. The deal that the US is likely to offer especially on food and other sectors plus pulling further away from EU, will not go down well with voters. Another big showdown in 2026/27 methinks.

Ditto plus being overweight!

It’s always tough when a new tax is applied. However, what I don’t get is this narrative about the loss of food security - if farms are sold or part of them sold off, the land will still be farmed, its not going to be left abandoned. Two friends have sold farms and they are still being farmed.

Spent first 20 years of my life living just off Holmsdale Road. Went to first game at 5 y/old and waiting outside the gates to open at 4:20pm when 7 y/old along with a load of other kids. Bonded for life.

And the crazy thing is, he’s not even the weirdest of Trump’s picks.
