Nothing says 'man of the people' quite like a politician calling a by-election at public expense on the issue of whether or not he should have the right to secretly take donations from Thai-based crypto billionaires and a convicted fraudster

As ever, the first decoration on our tree, toasted with the words "Remember the dead and fight like hell for the living". Ever since Covid this feels different though. We found out then what the world does when people it actually gives a shit about start dying. We live, we learn, we never forget.

Interesting how John always talks about how "we" voted to remain in Europe, but never about how "we" voted to remain in the UK. Funny, that.

63% of people think net migration rose in the last 12 months 8% of people think it fell Yet it fell by 400,000 in 2024 vs 2023 [It is falling further in 2025] Public service broadcasters are doing a core part of their job on this topic badly if that 8% is not closer to 30% at least

Domestic violence is a major threat to women around the world but it is also a warning sign for political violence. And yet, it rarely gets the political attention it deserves and requires.

Reality: The Tories lied about allocating £5 million funding to Dunfermline. In reality they allocated nothing. When Labour came to power they discovered the Tories had lied and allocated nothing, and said so. You would think the SNP might attack the Tories for this, huh? You'd be wrong.
