Mr. President Trump, this is for you. You say you want peace. Yet you make deals with the man destroying Ukraine. While you discuss fuel prices, We bury our children. While you thank putin, We prepare for another winter without heat and electricity.

Isn’t it pathetic the US president has tried to do a deal with the war criminal Putin.

Death should never be turned into a public spectacle. Those who do it are barbaric. Hegseth is wrong. Actually he’s not fit for office.

Preview of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie at the Lyceum last night. It's a hard ask as for most of us, Maggie Smith is the definitive JB, all clipped accent & mannerisms. But the play is different. The costumes & set look fab, the staging very clever. Excellent performances. A bit long though.

I love living in my beautiful city of Edinburgh. There is greatness and there is badness. Saw one example on Princes St. A young women(16?) was pushing her baby in a buggy with her friend. She pushed her buggy into the ankles of a Muslim teen who fell on her face. The white girl swore. Pure hatred .

With the PM talking about his love of poetry, I think more of us politicians should follow his lead. For years I've collected poems (by others not me!) which speak to political life in some way. I think I'll share them. Starting with this one which feels appropriate after Andy Burnham's speech.

Instead of cutting £6.6bn by targeting the army of pointless quangos. The Idiotic buffoons in the SNP target the councils which they have systematically crushed for 2 decades because they cannot control them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Scotland's 32 councils could be cut to six under government plan
Between six and 10 regional bodies would replace local authorities under proposals submitted by ministers.

Don’t let the nationalists from Scotland,England, NI and Wales fool you. They say our nation is broken. It truly will be if they get their way. We will rebuild, we will restore hope and unity of purpose: united we stand to improve our NHS, our industries, our living standards, and enforce the law.
