I gave away several books of his years ago. But yes it is one of his best. Did he do the cows standing on back legs and then drop down when a car was coming?

Anas Sarwar was confronted at a Labour event by a Labour party member who was *furious* at Labour's plans to open up the NHS to the private sector. Of course the BBC in Scotland refused to pick up this story.

Half of Scotland's land is owned by less than 1% of the people. We have some of the most unequal land distribution in Europe!

It's time to curb the power of super rich land hoarders and start giving ordinary Scots and communities new opportunities.

Kemi Badenoch appears to be getting plaudits for a speech in which she breezily claimed to have found £47,000,000,000 in savings.

The inconvenient truth is that these numbers are nothing more than a fantasy.

This really is Liz Truss's party now.

UAE has no democratically elected institutions, no free speech and an appalling human rights record.

Its economy functions on completely different metrics to the ours & ranks well below us for GDP

No serious person would ever think that we should emulate it.

But here's Tice calling us decadent
