It's almost as if Badenoch's just arrived in the Party and blissfully unaware of all the abject mess her moribund party inflicted on the nation during their periods of governance for 32 of the last 46 years.

A letter published in The Herald, the Scottish Universities Jewish Staff Network said:

"We therefore absolutely reject the weaponization of the attack to suppress protests against the genocide in Gaza

I'm becoming more and more convinced that Honest Bob Jenrick's what you get if you scrape through the bottom of the barrel and find him on the other side.

I sincerely hope you're not going to try and ignore the fact that at times, two completely opposing facts can be true.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Great movie. Sam Neill is terrific in this.

Interesting wee tidbit on this: some scenes from the film ended up being spliced into an episode of Star Trek Voyager ("Random Thoughts"). Good one too.

If the term "Honest Bob Jenrick" doesn't feature in @mrjamesob.bsky.social opening hour long monologue, I'll eat my hat.

The shot below is from the Tory Party Conference as they wait excitedly for it to begin and, goodness, it's Honest Bob Jenrick. Looking for relevance it seems...

#TroyPartyConference #r4today Always amusing to hear the Tory leader backing Honest Bob Jenrick mumbling on about not seeing a white face and not carving him a new one, which is rather more what he deserved.

Is he racist? If he's not, the costume he's wearing seems to be fitting rather too well.

You're welcome Steve. I'm working my way through all the episodes currently - hugely informative - and will catch some of your shows in Edinburgh next year. All the best. 👍

@steverichards.bsky.social

I discovered Steve's "Rock 'n' Roll Politics" podcast recently. Unusual in that it's just him, not a group discussion, ZooTV, or other cacophony, and my main takeaway from this is if you're into politics and not listening to this, you're missing out. Deeply insightful.

Par for the course. She's "unconvinced". Pfft. Somebody hosting a talk show against academics, scholars, observers. Who knows best?

And now she's against the report because it only mentions Hamas twice. FFS...
