Again and again, the optimal position when legally threatened by Trump is to be resolute in defence and prepare for court.
You will likely not then have to go to court, as he will fold or settle.
But if you seek to settle from the off, he has got you and he will crush you.

On this front, a reminder that (in Scotland at least), people are very supportive of capping donations to political parties and supplementing / replacing it with per-vote based public funding. 60% supported public funding for parties and 51% selected options that *at least* capped private donations!

Looking at the papers and broadcast media today having read the press summary of the Sandie Peggie judgment is wild.
They either haven’t read it or are lying about it.
And then people wring their hands about trust in institutions or bemoan people resorting to social media for news.

Today is not the day to argue "oh so you want Reform to win then" as an argument for Labour's indefensible and inhumane anti-asylum policies. At least be honest and own that you're defending racist policies promoted with genuinely far right talking points. Don't try and pretend this is "progressive"

What is truly pathetic about Labour is that this is all they have got. They have failed so spectacularly already, despite a whacking great majority, to even attempt to govern positively that all they have is punching down on marginalised groups and saying "oh but Reform will be worse".

With 7 MSPs we delivered free bus travel under 22s, ended peak rail fares, banned new incinerators, increased taxes on the rich, scrapped school meal debt, introduced rent controls, and much more.
Imagine what we could do with double that. 👀
