I know he was once considered a real threat but Jordan Peterson's King Lear story arc where he gets visibly frailer with every public appearance while his daughter very obviously slowly poisons him is kind of iconic...

BREAKING

In a new video, Dolly Parton, the Queen of America, says she’s going to be ok.

As the End Conversion Practices consultation responses are published today we are glad to see a Scottish Government response that recommits to a comprehensive and inclusive ban on conversion practices delivered to parliament by 2027.

“Following the release of the recent BBC podcasts the Democratic Unionist Party wishes to make clear that Mr Ian Paisley is appearing in this series in his own personal capacity and not on behalf of the Democratic Unionist Party.”

If your entire argument for why Jews should be protected is not because they are human beings and deserve respect but that they have been "a model minority," then congratulations, you have actually implied that if they weren't, that would justify a mass expulsion.

Today's Tory motion continues their pattern of wrongly blaming migrants for everything - but they can't even get the basics right. When it comes to issues as sensitive as migration, getting the facts right really matters.

It is not possible to guarantee safety for a minority group except through a multicultural society. This is a basic fact of hard reality. Wise up, Steve.

I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL LOSE IT

Nice of the Irish times to publish the wild thoughts of a rando

“The advantages of a first past the post system, of course, are that it prevents an overly fragmented parliament in which a stable governing majority cannot be found, and that it keeps the radical right down.”

One downside, for our political culture, of Labour's re-collapse in Scotland is the SNP's continued constituency dominance will mean continued gormless anti-PR (and anti-democratic) ravings from people who otherwise would have had to change their tune about list MSPs pretty sharpish, e.g. see this:

You should stop giving people columns when they start writing stuff like this

Which btw was months ago, this is not new, but you cannot get a clearer indication of someone's brain rotting than "Catholic starts obsessively batting for organisation that exists to discriminate against Catholics"

if Kevin McKenna has a bet on what the most absurd thing he can submit and the Herald will still publish, he’s winning handsomely

I was all set to begrudgingly vote for Humphreys, because I think Connolly *will* make multiple large unforced errors as President.
BUT…
Anyone who equivocates even a little bit on human rights is dead in the water for me.
Congratulations to Catherine Connolly, I guess?

This is a party with virtually the same number of MPs as Reform (4 v. 5).

The way the BBC is treating Reform, compared to the Lib Dems and the Greens, is a dereliction of their duty as a public broadcaster.

lmao

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

any other religions you don't want to see at rangers, murdo?

If the landlord that lived in our garage and pretended he didn't and used to secretly sleep in one of the girls beds when she was away and used go through our bins and once fished out a pregnancy test amd brought it up ever runs for president I will be ready

Oh #speirgorm #aras25
