I have lodged the below parliamentary motion tonight & I hope that it will be accepted & published on Monday.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor must testify at any judicial or congressional hearing investigating the Epstein allegations.

No-one is above the law.

UK law enforcement and intelligence gathering are already excluded from the GDPR, and the Government can decide who's allowed to take it to court, so effectively no, although even if it did, the kind of regime that does this will just trample over the law with no heed to it whatsoever.

Palantir is using medical records to help ICE target its victims in the US. And Wes Streeting is pitch-rolling for Farage to do the same in the UK.
Palantir uses medical records to target people for ICE in the US – will the UK be next? | Good Law Project
Deadly ICE raids in the US rely on Palantir tools that mine health records to produce real-time data on people’s location – a chilling prospect for the NHS

I asked Ed Miliband what govt will do to stop landlords passing on the cost of meeting energy efficiency standards straight to their tenants via higher rents

His answer? 'I'm confident this will lead to lower costs.'

Really? Has he seen the state of the private rented sector?

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!

“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

Westminster Labour promised that they would create 1.000s of GB Energy jobs in Aberdeen, so far only 13 people have been employed in our city.

Labour lied!

It’s Scotland’s energy - and it should work for the people of Scotland.

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Anas Sarwar asked questions on housing at FMQs today.

Never forget that in Labour’s last term in office in Scotland, they only managed to build a grand total of SIX council houses in four years.

Labour cannot be trusted to deliver on housing.

I think Brexit was garbage. But if in 2025 you're still pedalling "all we need to do is reverse Brexit!" you're ignorant. Everything before Brexit was fine, obviously. It was definitely ALL Brexit and not the six years of austerity before that and the 31 years of untempered Thatcherism before that.

Yesterday at a gig I sang I Will Always Love You and told the crowd about the time fifteen years ago I was asked to sing it as a first dance for a wedding. Baffling. Then afterwards a man who had worked as a funeral director told me it is a COMMON CHOICE FOR FUNERALS!!!! Wow, fuck you, the deceased.

It's like people using 'Every Breath You Take' as 'our song". Either they haven't really listened to it, or there's red flags sprouting everywhere.

People not listening to lyrics and doing bizarre things with songs based entirely on the chorus is one of my favourite things.
See also all the people treating Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah like its a Christmas Song.
