Reform sneaked in on the List vote. They may have been close in a couple of constituencies but only as a different unionist option. They'll be slapped down and treated with the appropriate contempt if they start their nonsense at Holyrood. The union is in the death rattle stage. Bring on the hearse and horses.

The £2 cap is already in place as part of a year-long pilot running in several council areas; Shetland, Orkney, Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Highland, Moray and Argyll and Bute.

However, the SNP’s new policy pledge would expand this across all of Scotland’s 32 local authorities by the end of the next parliamentary term.

At Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday, Griffin entered not guilty pleas to two charges – displaying material likely to stir up racial hatred and publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred.

Why would she do that? She has a witness to some of this: Paolo Zampolli, the agent who imported her on the same Einstein visa scam as Epstein used for his victims.

Zampolli not only remains in the Trump circle, but he flew to Hungary to do errands for Russia with JD Vance this week.

“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the USA won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” Trump said as he criticised countries who “refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran”.

The Gorton & Denton by-Election really has reminded us of the true depth of ugliness of Starmerism and the Labour Right. They have reserved most of their negative campaigning for the supposed ‘fellow’ progressives, the Green Party. They have taken this to the extent of blatant election fraud, inventing a non-existent tactical-voting-advice firm called Tactical Choice, sending out fake leaflets to locals, recommending the ‘anyone-but-Reform’ crowd should vote Labour.

He also asserted the need to build up its military muscle: “We must build our hard power, because that is the currency of the age."

He did not apologise, however, for appointing him despite having known that he had maintained a relationship with Epstein even after he was jailed for trafficking a child for sex.

One big circle jerk which also includes the White House.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has admitted that he knew of Peter Mandelson's friendship with convicted sex trafficker and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein before appointing him as the US ambassador.

He said that Mandelson "lied repeatedly" to him and the Labour party about his links to Epstein, but admitted that he knew the relationship existed.

He denies "misconduct in public office" after the former business secretary was found to have released sensitive information to Epstein, including Gordon Brown's resignation and the €500 billion eurozone bailout.

Mandelson should have the Labour whip immediately removed, be expelled from the Party and be removed from his seat in the legislature.

The strike aims to prevent arms shipments, reject rearmament, and oppose the impact of a war economy on workers’ rights and social security systems, as organisers say the day of action will help “ensure that ports are places of peace, free from any involvement in war”.
