Seeing much angst regarding having Gillian MacKay at SNP conference. Why is there no outrage about SPUC on the fringe?

A lot of the better talk programming and radio drama is squirrelled away in the podcast section.

Judgement? Ingram v Little alone, and the HoL's refusal to declare it per incuriam in Hudson v Shogun Finance, I developed an abiding loathing for 'silly Denningisms' (as coined by a good friend from uni who eventually became a judge).

Thanks Nat but y'ken we're good. As you rightly said that the SNP doesn't nominate to the HoL because it's anti-democratic. Scottish Greens don't either.

No one even stopping to ask if 'their union' is such a wonderful place to be why the other three countries are led by parties who'd rather be out of it.

BBC news. Gets sloppier by the day. Reporting that the Holborn and St Pancs by election was caused by Starmer resigning as Prime Minister. Doesn't automatically follow. May stayed. Johnson stayed (briefly). Truss stayed. Sunak is still there.

Then dear Bear you would be in excellent company. We saw the incredible Miriam Margoyles in conversation with with Susia McCabe (my vocabulary has been hugely expanded!) And she casually mentioned that she'd been offered the Traitors but couldn't do it as she hated all the lying and plotting.

I may not live in the South anymore but whatever platform or contacts I have, I will continue to speak up.

I'm convinced that in no small part it comes down to having Tory MPs and MSPs who are for The Union and aren't for Scotland.

Aye. And for that alone they'll wring their hands past doomsday rather than admit Scotland did something better.

But make sure I have the salary to cover interest rates when they hit 15% in the early 90s by putting a bundle on the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, thatcher's replacement being Major and McGuinness become Deputy First Minister of NI.

Imagine. Pay people a decent wage and cut staff turnover, which costs. Respect staff by taking a salary which doesn't take the piss and people will spend their money there. I like Costco. Shame my car doesn't.

Mortgages hit 6%. This is getting into Liz Truss minibudget territory (I know the underlying cause is different.)

I couldn’t make time to attend this conference during its first two years, but this year’s agenda looks incredible, the price is right and I’ve set aside most of this week to take part: Mental Health in Journalism Summit 2026 / Stronger Together: Building Systems of Care

Vile. I remember the outcry over Alan Kurdi when people had a modicum of compassion in their souks and said never again.

Prem, if you haven't noticed, this is also causing fury in Scotland as the cut is to support social care in England only.

And after making a lot of noise meekly walks through whichever lobby the Labour party tells him too.

Was grateful the last time I went thru JFK that finally doors were full size. Always found the partial door weird and creepy.

No. The point was we've had this stuff and more up here for some time and the SNP get no credit for their innovation. We'd love you to have more of this stuff as we do it on a fixed budget that has to be balanced. The English seemingly can't on an open ended budget.

The SNP GE 24 manifesto was the only major party to have an explicit commitment to rejoin.

Compare and contrast. Burnham told a fairy story about what might happen in several years time. Last year John told us walk in clinics were coming. Currently we have 12 and rising. Labour are still dithering over PIP. We have the Adult Disability Payment. Delivery or pipedreams?

I feel the pain. I remember the collective groan of a dozen Sixth formers when our teachers brightly announced yet another lesson on symbolism in Mansfield Park and the anguished cry of "Fanny Price is the simply the worst".
