I love a niche Scottish Politics social media scandal. What do you mean journalist Paul Hutcheon is having an affair with Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid? If it was a Greens / SNP politician you know this would already be a media bloodbath.

There's no scandal more British than a bunch of English guys running around private clubs in Mayfair to chase down a guy's illegal money (from daddy) in order to use corrupt pollsters & news editors to manipulate politics in their favour. This is why they distract you with made up migration fears.

it's easy to be jaded about british politics but i do think it is actually a problem when your party leader is 1) on the telly seemingly admitting to crimes 2) humiliates a polling company by paying for polls with shifty money 3) humiliates the times 4) is potentially in criminal trouble

Today I made one of my favourite desserts: kunafeh! Traditional dish from the Levant, made of shredded filo pastry soaked in butter with a layer of melted cheese in the middle and drenched in a saffron & rose infused syrup (which I also made!). Garnished w/ crushed pistachios & dry rose petals 🥰

You can never appease people raging against so-called "diversity hires" because, to put it bluntly, they will never accept that black and brown people can be just as intellectually capable as white people. It's always white supremacy, never reasonable doubt.

No matter what Netanyahu calls the UK - and I don't think being an Islamic Republic is derogatory, despite how terribly inaccurate that label is for the UK, which is neither Islamic nor a Republic (I wish!) - anything is morally superior to being a genocidal colonial ethnostate

Excited to present one of my latest paintings now available for purchase - it's a big one, and the way its bold colours lighten up a room is something to behold. Chuffed with how mad it looks. “CAT HAT” - 122,5x91,5cm, acrylic on canvas - available on my website here: wgsaraband.com/expressionis...

50% of British voters think that Israel is committing genocide. Just 17% disagree. 55% think the UK should no longer consider Israel an ally. 15% think the UK should be an ally of Israel. That's the latest YouGov polling. Support for Israel is a fringe position in Britain.
