My folks moved from factory to factory in the 80s and 90s as they shut down one by one in the west of Scotland. Yet the establishment still reveres her despite the working class carnage she left. She's not dead enough!!!

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

His majesty sure is working hard these days. Another banquet to attend while "his" people starve and freeze in their own homes. Absolute boils my blood. The UK is not a serious country.

His Majesty King Charles III has announced that he will host German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender for a State Visit from 3-5 December. It will be an incredible moment for 🇬🇧🇩🇪 relations and the first State Visit by a German President in 27 years.

Absolutely brilliant analysis. I've earned a minimum wage and it ain't enough to survive let alone thrive. Boils my blood, generally the lowest paid jobs have the hardest workers. The world is upside down 👎

If this isn’t a solid argument for a massive rise in the NMW, nothing is.

Just like the BBC in Scotland, Laura Kuenssberg is stepping up the deliberate errors to knock The SNP. Twice she claimed the UK Gov was supplying £10bn to build warships on the Clyde. This is false. The £10bn will come from Norway after it signed a deal with BAE systems.

Laura Kuenssberg aggressively defending UKGovt today with incompetent questions for the FM. She twice claimed UKGovt was paying £10bn to build warships on the Clyde. This is false. The £10bn will come from *Norwegian Govt* after it signed a deal with BAE systems. The UKGovt isn't supplying any cash.

Some of the worst advice I ever got was from so called "successful" businessmen, ALWAYS measured against financial success, never moral success. I then worked in social care with a mad variety of people from all walks of life and learned something valuable off every single one of them

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Watching QT. Zia Usuf launches attack on @zackpolanski.bsky.social , Zach answers , then is accused of attacking anyone he disagrees with by a telegraph reporter. What a bomb scare of a right wing programme.

Well played Zach, the only human on the panel. The rest might as well be the same person 🤷

Just seen a headline which asks "Thatcher was born 100 years ago and her reign feels a lifetime away. Why is her effect on the country still so huge?"

It's because she was a massive bastard. Hope that helps x

Fuck this, Lib Dems are a politer continuation of the norm. We need to obliterate the current system and rebuild it from the bottom up. Starting with Scottish independence for us and the Greens in England.

A family member of mine wasn't allowed in the house with a green top one night.

I still think about that a lot. You can imagine the attitude they had towards "foreigners" based on that.

It's a wonder I turned out the way I did 🤣
