@torcuil.bsky.social disgracing himself on command in the Commons today with an ignorant nasty, pointless jibe against Stephen Flynn! I always thought he was one of the better β€œScottish” Labour MPs but he is just another one of Starmer’s Scottish β€˜useful idiots.

Most of Epstein’s victims were either too frightened to come forward, or silenced through legal threats. Oh, and here’s a senior British politician giving Epstein tips on how to silence them

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Rachel Reeves, "We want people to contribute if they come to our country"

It’s worth sitting for a minute with the knowledge that Morgan McSweeney received three quarters of a million pounds to subvert democracy and it’s only a scandal because he didn’t fill in the forms correctly.

Millions spent on Trump visit. Red carpets, Royals in coronets and golden dining services too. And all he offers in return are petulant racist insults about our capital city and our mayor.

What a singular lack of decorum, grace, and courtesy. Fuck him and his damp hands and his nicotine yellow wig
