I call this out when other parties do it and I'm going to call it out when mine does. Dishonesty fundamentally undermines democracy.

Facebook post by Kevin Dunion:

Over the years my very rules have brought me into contact with many prominent individuals. Many are impressive - others less so. When I was Scottish Information Commissioner, at an event in Buckingham Palace, I found myself in conversation with a truculent Prince Andrew (as was). He bridled that the very existence of FoI laws saying [highlighted] "People have already got as much information as they need. What more could be possibly want?" [end highlight] Let us say, we did not part on good terms. After recent revelations, chickens and roosts come to mind.

A major drag on our politics is that people who aren't in poverty comfort themselves by simply refusing to believe poverty exists.

This is what you sound like when you say we have to have draconian border policing otherwise "everyone would come here"

The population of Scotland is around 5.25mil and there are 600mil cats in the world so if every cat decided to invade Scotland each Scot would have to fight off around 114 cats each and I really don't think they could pull it off

You heard it here: if you're not a "high earner" you're not contributing to society. These people really do hate the working class to their very bones.
Tweet from the Home Office @ukhomeoffice

Britain welcomes migrants who contribute to our economy and society.

High earners, entrepreneurs and skilled frontline workers like NHS staff will be fast-tracked to settlement - rewarding those who give, not take.

Cambridge lexicographers absolutely throwing in the towel when asked to define skibidi: "a word that can have different meanings or no meaning"
[screengrab of dictionary.cambridge.org]

skibidi

adjective • humorous slang

A word that can have different meanings such as cool or bad or can be used with no real meaning as a joke:

• "Skibidi, skibidi, skibidi," a boy of around seven sang to himself, as he dribbled a soccer ball.

• What the skibidi are you doing?

• What was the most skibidi part?

• In the viral song the words "you're so pretty" were replaced by "you're so Skibidi."

• That wasn't very skibidi rizz of you.

Tweet by Chris McCall (@Dennynews)

John Swinney announces £180,000 of public money will help stage a golf tournament at Donald Trump's Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire. The First Minister meets the US President next week.

[screengrab of Scottish Government statement:]

First Minister John Swinney said:

I welcome the Nexo Championship being held at the Trump International Golf Links this August.

"Scotland has long been recognised as a world-class host of major events. Golf and golf events are a key part of our national identity, supporting communities, driving economic growth, contributing to environmental sustainability across the country and promoting Scotland through global profile.

"The Scottish Government recognises the importance and benefits of golf and golf events, including boosting tourism and our economy. As the Home of Golf we have a longstanding track record of support and I am proud this funding will further enhance Aberdeenshire's reputation as a leading golfing destination and I'm hopeful of securing further golfing events in future years."

This witless and ill-natured attack is typical of the centrist establishment panic when faced with a popular socialist alternative (see Bernie, AOC, Zohran, Jeremy himself). Caroline or Siân or Jon would never say this. It is not how a Green leader should think or speak.
Adrian Ramsay MP
@AdrianRamsay

So Jeremy Corbyn and Zara Sultana are indeed starting a new party.

This blows Zack Polanski's leadership pitch out of the water. It's crucial now more than ever that we maintain a distinct Green Party identity as Ellie and me are arguing. 

Let's not become the support act.

@caitoz

So what's the plan here? We just sit and watch Israel starve Gaza to death with the support of our own governments?

And then what? We just go along with our lives, knowing that that happened? That this is what we are as a society? That our civilization is comfortable allowing something like that to happen? And that our rulers could do the same thing to another inconvenient population at any time?

We're just meant to be cool with that? And go on living like it's normal?

I'm genuinely curious. How exactly is everyone planning to go about living their lives after that point? How does that work, exactly?

Which Shakespeare play is set in Germany?

That would be "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" is not set in Germany, but another play is "The Merchant of Venice" is also not set in Germany. The answer is actually "The Taming of the Shrew" is not set in Germany, but one of his plays is "The Two Noble Kinsmen" is also not set in Germany. The answer is "The Merchant of Venice" is not set in Germany, but another play is "Hamlet" which is set in Denmark, but not Germany. The answer is actually "The Taming of the Shrew" is not set in Germany, but one of his plays is "The Two Noble Kinsmen" is also not set in Germany.

I thought Westminster procedure was a shambles (and it is) but what do you mean the House of Representatives took SEVEN HOURS for one vote?
• The previous record was in 2021, when the House took seven hours and six minutes on a procedural vote related to then-President Biden's Build Back Better legislation.

• House Republicans overtook that record at 9:15pm ET on Wednesday, then went another 15 minutes before finally closing the vote.

Google AI has no idea how many times 100,000 goes into 1,000,000
Google search results for "uk murder rate per 100 000"

AI Overview

The murder rate in the UK is relatively low compared to many other countries. For the year ending March 2024, England and Wales recorded a homicide rate of 9.5 per million population. This is equivalent to 0.0095 per 100,000 people.

Sorry Thom, what "questions" did you have about whether Palestinians deserve freedom? Buffoon.
Instagram post by Thom Yorke (@thomyorke), slide 4/8. White text on brown background:

While our lives tick along as normal these endless thousands of innocent human souls are *still* being expelled from the earth... for what?

At the same time the unquestioning Free Palestine refrain that surrounds us all does not answer the simple question of why the hostages have still not all been returned? For what possible reason?

Why did Hamas choose the truly horrific act of October 7th? The answer seems obvious, and I believe Hamas chooses too to hide behind the suffering of its people, in an equally cynical fashion for their own purposes.

@CPugsleyReform

At 19 I've just been appointed cabinet member for children's services at @LeicsCountyHall.

Some say I'm young. I say that's exactly what this role needs.

I understand the challenges young people face today because I've been there. Now I'm making sure young voices are heard.
