The same idiots who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy. That's what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

Before the election, Trump said he could end the Ukraine war in a day. When pressed as to how he would do it, he said, elect me & find out. We found out. He had no plan. Let that be a lesson. If a politician running for office won't divulge their plans, they don't have any.

‘Seismic’ Andy Burnham proposals already quite familiar for Scots. Right to buy abolished here 2016, free personal care 2001, comprehensives never axed, 62% Remain vote, water never privatised, PR standard. So what do Scots make of the PM’s big speech? Listen LesleyRiddoch.com/podcast

Re-electing Republicans, or even giving them a chance, will allow them to refuse to seat any Democrats who have won their election, thus assuring more lies from Trump. Vote in numbers too big to deny.

The leader of a UK government elected on 32% is telling a Scottish government elected on 36% that a 56% pro-Indy Scottish parliament can't hold a referendum that 68% of Scots want. UK democracy, ladies and gentlemen.

In Scotland, we provide free personal care for older people without punishing pensioners. Andy Burnham removing the triple lock would simply repeat the mistakes of Keir Starmer. The blame for the UK’s financial mess lies with successive Westminster governments, not pensioners.

The Trump Organization filed for trademark protection of "Trump TV" so that the government would have to PAY him to use the channel he just created… Miraculously, Trump has found yet another way to steal even more money from the American people. Trump. Is. A. Charlatan. And. A. Fraud. 😎✨

I must say I’m very disappointed in the police over their dealing with the RAF Fairford incident. By announcing that the suspects are British nationals, they have completely undermined the stream of made up bollocks from myself and every other right wing gobshite on Twitter.

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

Canadians should stop drinking at Starbucks and eating at MCDonalds choose Canadian coffee shops and fast food chains instead. A fast food boycott would garner a lot of attention, and we could start with these two companies.
