Valentine’s doesn’t have to mean flowers.
Sometimes it’s a good book, a quiet walk, and learning about the birds and the bees, purely nature-based of course! 😏
A lovely gift, even if it is for yourself

Does anyone else long for the days when political journalism was about reportage and analysis rather than endless tittle-tattle and trying to shift public opinion?

So Sarwar, who told Starmer, "when it comes to Scottish Labour, I'm in charge", following Starmer wanting to give pro-independence candidates more priority, think it's Starmer who's responsible for Scottish Labour's woes?
Oh, and Sarwar's company paid staff less than minimum wage.
Unbelievable.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit
Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’
