Ciaran Jenkins dissects Rishi Sunak's claims and finds it wanting. This is Grade A humiliation.

So Scots are happy to have a colourless, odourless, denser-than-air asphyxiant gas pumped in huge quantities over long distances across their country? Or is it just that someone is planning to keep the risk assessment secret from them?

Bit of an own goal on the part of the Ulster Unionists, methinks; because NI could remove those differences in an instant - by uniting with the Republic!

The staggering cost of pension tax relief for the wealthiest people in the UK taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/08/1…

This isn't all that surprising, given that Trumpian politics (and its British look-alike) contradicts so many principles of the Christian faith.

Interesting, because it happens within states as well as between them. Compare the migration patterns and economies of Great Grimsby and Greater London for an illustration.

Local education authorities were good at estate management and would've known what their schools were made of, and they'd have managed the risks accordingly. Could it be that academy trusts haven't done a proper job, and that this has led to the current crisis?

Perspective is a useful thing...

That should have been the story. A third were media. Third right wing stooges. And a third didn’t have a bloody clue who she was. Can’t even fill a room and she reckons she is next Tory leader

"Man with vested interest in a huge fixed asset that's at risk of being stranded makes contentious statement in support of his vested interest."

It would be both entertaining and enlightening if it happened, but methinks a PR agent would have good reason to fear a live public debate with a barrister...!

Suella Braverman is out of control. Her article tonight is a highly irresponsible, dangerous attempt to undermine respect for police at a sensitive time, to rip up operational independence & to inflame community tensions. No other Home Secretary of any party would ever do this

‘Just call an election and let’s get on with it’ ⁦Jake Richards MP⁩ told Politics North, amid continuing speculation over the date of the general election #bbcpn

An impressive explanation...

The campaign has launched in Maltby! 🚀 🌹 Thank you to everyone who joined us to make the case for change. On 4th July we can vote for that change. Vote Labour. 🌹

If the Tories thought they could fool the public with blatant fabrications [the real story here is bad management], they may have to think again. Look at Keegan's post's ratio - and that of Dave Lawrence's response. The market for Tory flannel appears to be collapsing.

It appears that gutter politics is going to need a deeper gutter...

They'll tell you voting doesn't make a difference. But it was a Labour Government that changed my life. If you want change, vote for it on Thursday.
