Graphic with John Swinney MSP speaking at a podium. Text reads: “No-one else will do a better job of caring for this beautiful country and the people who live here — and I mean all the people who live here.” Background is bright pink with SNP and Scottish flag logos at the bottom.

The BBC thinks this worthy of its news homepage, but I’m still not seeing much about Reform’s financial relationship with Russia. If we had a serious media we might not collectively drunkenly stagger from one idiocy to the next.

-the school didn’t sack him, he works for an agency
