Did anyone have trouble seeing the SNP political broadcast on the BBC? We have Virgin and BBC1 was "unavailable" for the exact 5 minutes John Swinney was on. Strange. #SNP

I suppose Rayner can now sell her posh flats in Glasgow, her Chelsea mews house and £19m London townhouse, plus her yacht, while she works out how to get the National Crime Agency to unfreeze £75m of her assets.

My bad, that's Michelle Mone.

Just like the SNP did in Scotland, then. Good that you are catching up.

I know this because I have just been in hospital. Scottish NHS was wonderful.

If I had £100 for every time there was "shocking footage" about Trump, I would be a millionaire. But nothing changes , because his followers only use Truth Social and only see stuff that is positive about him.

I thought so too. The bookies were spot on with both the UK and USA general elections.

Let's hope SNP have taken Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse and my happiness will be complete. 🤞🤞

Not a surprise.

The bookies have SNP as odds on favourites with Labour and Reform neck and neck at the moment. Will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Pigs do fly. The Daily Record has endorsed the SNP in next week's Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse by election as the only party that can defeat the "I'm not racist but..." party of Farage.

By-election vote is now a fight for Scotland’s soul

This contest should have been centred on the mainstream issues of concern to local voters.

Angela Rayner didn't want Scottish newspapers at her campaign visit today, but we went to try and ask her some questions.

It was a pretty messy afternoon. 🥀

If you live in Hamilton, Larkhall or Stonehouse, and Labour bothers to doorstep you, ask them what happened to all there big pledges. Every promise, backed by their journalist chum at the Record, has turned out to be guff.

This is a great big steaming pile. It mentions Nicola Sturgeon seeking re-election. She isn't standing again.

That's the level of insanity some folk have reached. It's not anti semitic to call a country out for commiting genocide when it's commiting genocide. They can feck right off!

People in Gaza are collecting up bits of their children like meat from a butcher's floor, torn to pieces, limbs, torsos, heads and placing the body pieces in empty flour sacks.
If we criticise the Israelis who dismembered and killed these children, we are anti semite. We are the monsters.

Can there be any more irresponsible practice than burning carbon rich peat moors to make sure they remain clear for the ultra rich to play at being country folk as they shoot captive bred animals for sport.

Reform is a Limited Company

Farage owns 53%

It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”

It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget

It wants to privatise the NHS

& invest in fossil fuels

Close the BBC

& break International law

It’s a scam

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.

Anthony Davis is a British journalist so out of Trump's reach for revenge. I suppose Trump could try to ban him from entering the USA.
