If Rachel Reeves wants to build another runway at Heathrow in order to export 'scottish salmon and scotch whisky', why not save some cash and fly the stuff out of Prestwick? Plenty capacity there.

A close relation was highly critical of brexit over dinner yesterday. Up until now, she was very open both on her pro-leave vote and her view that brexit was correct. Yesterday, she seemed to forget all that. Very strange.

NEW: Reform UK have appeared on BBC Question Time three times as often as the SNP since the General Election, despite having half the number of MPs.

Because you have got to WANT to destroy him and his Brexit legacy.
Why is the government not capable wiping the floor with Nigel Farage every single day like this? Alastair Campbell effortlessly destroys him over his Brexit legacy which by almost every economic and financial measure has been disastrous for the country

Thank you @bsky.app for suspending the fake account within hours of it being reported. On X there are several fake accounts which have been live for more than a year & X has proved incapable of removing them. What a difference. The sky is most definitely bluer here🙏

Limiting or abolishing human rights NGOs is a standard practice of authoritarians
This Elon Musk tweet should be particularly alarming. For over 100 years in all 50 states, the ACLU has provided legal assistance in cases where civil liberties are at risk. The non-profit organization founded by a woman works to ensure that the government doesn't over reach its lawful boundaries.

Mick Lynch went on Question Time once and destroyed the Conservatives, he was never invited on again.
Nigel Farage has been on 38 times, but has never impressed anybody.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn.
That's how privatisation 'works'.
