The take-down of this ridiculous war by General Sir Richard Shirreff, Nato’s former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe is delicious.

When Wales generates green energy, the profits go straight to London πŸ’Έ

In Scotland, Crown Estate profits are reinvested into local communities. Just imagine what Wales could achieve if we had the same powers!

It is, but the anger is centred around sexual abuse.

Even though the effects of physical and emotional abuse are equally devastating, they never attract the same attention or opprobrium.

Today's Ipsos Poll🧡 : Top we have the outcome (as per what The Nat posted earlier), including the regional breakdown.

Below it, our usual 'what if half the SNP2 voted SGP2 instead' scenario, to show how many more MSPs we get with more SGP list votes.

We would get nine more pro-indy MSPs.

A bit behind schedule, but how voters moved in the year since the 2024 election.

Labour facing same splintering of the last govt: a significant bloc crossing floor to primary electoral opposition, with a numerically larger chunk moving to opponents on same side of spectrum, plus many 'don't knows'.

They're hardly going to be from Spain, are they!

The list of countries tells you everything - they're some of the most unstable in the world.

If anything these visas should be increased FFS.

You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion'
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

Aside from far too long and excusy, he's just told voters they voted wrong.

No pal. Voters never vote wrong.

THEY JUST DIDN'T VOTE FOR YOUR CANDIDATE.

The answers are always to be made by the party, NEVER the voter.

Serious reply to an unserious message.
* Use a hotter wash but check labels
* Use laundry sanitizer but it's £££. Soak in disinfectant for a bit instead. RINSE!
* Damp manky things thrown in to the WMachine to stew for a few days will get worse.
* UV is your friend. Dry outside and kill the bugs.
