Absolutely not.
He's a bully. A liar. And a fascist.
A huge misjudgement for Starmer to have offered him the visit in the first place - and it's beyond time for him to correct that.

I'm old enough to remember that when Nicola Sturgeon got arrested the Union Media Mother Ship landed. Day in day out, the BBC in Scotland & Sky News wrote article after article to make you think that she had travelled back in time & showed Al Capone what to do

Frank's just been charged with fraud. Frank's a leading Honcho in the Glasgow Labour 'Mafia'.
If Frank was a leading SNP bloke, you could expect a £multi million 'Operation' and 'Blue Tents' in his garden.
There won't be this.

It's time for Scotland to sever links with England, the overseer.
To sensible, rational people, the fact that Scotland is Governed by a Parliament actually in this backward- facing Country, is increasingly ludicrous.
It's 2025.
England is dragging Scotland down.
It's now very obvious.

Under Labour, household energy bills are up by almost 300 quid.
So you'd expect Scottish Labour MSPs have been meeting the Labour Energy Minister to demand action, right?
Wrong. Not a single meeting has been held.

Now over one year in, Ireland's Deposit Return Scheme has exceeded expectations. Over 980 million drinks containers have been recycled through the scheme.
Scotland was prevented from having the same thing.
