This is just too damn good 🤣🤣🤣

He makes some fair points. But he's asking us as the public to trust that our leaders are acting in good faith. In his case that trust was forever lost over #Iraq He said then 'if only you knew what I know you'd support me on this.' Folk then followed him despite the evidence.

This is so powerful. #TrumpWords

The Labour leadership “misjudged the symbolic resonance of her historic role as the first black female MP, the optics of bullying a black woman out of her job and the popular support she had in the black community and beyond….” theguardian.com/politics/artic…

As so say we all… #Glasgow

The FM says a Committee will consider Queen Elizabeth’s memorial. She was a woman of great religious faith. Why not restore Holyrood Abbey? The Scottish Parliament sat here. And it fell through neglect. Restoration would attract tourists, teach traditional skills & provide jobs.

“For years Labour promised to deliver justice for #WASPI women. However, now they have the power to do something about it, the Labour Party has decided those previous promises and these wronged women don’t matter to them anymore.” ⁦#WASPI Campaign⁩ dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/l…

It’s grotesque. And Labour, of course, will do nothing about Lords cronyism. They make full use of it. In March Ms Owen “claimed £5,327 plus £598 in travel expenses. Her official House of Lords page still has a blank page in the ‘Experience’ section.”prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/67789…

Can you imagine the position decent Labour MPs (and there are plenty) find themselves in? If they vote to protect the pensioners’ Winter Fuel Allowance they lose their career. Career vs principles. #Change eh?

On my first visit to Hillsborough Castle as an M.P. I remarked to a (Tory) NI minister how interesting it was that the portrait of William II should have been hung in close proximity to that of James VII He had absolutely no idea what the significance was.

Glad to see Stewart is continuing the old Glasgow tradition of a once weekly Sunday bath (whether you need one or not).

As this news reaches me I’m re-watching #TheDayAfterTomorrow where evil movie Vice-President and Dick Cheney look-a-like recognises an existentialist threat to the world and renounces his previously held wicked political positions. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

What will Scottish Labour MPs do? They represent constituencies and a whole country that’s colder in winter than rUK - and in summer. Folk on Western Isles say heating has been on all summer. Courage or conformity?

Good morning! Can’t think of a better five minutes to start the day!

BBC Scotland reporting all Scottish Labour MPs likely to vote to slash Winter Fuel Allowances for pensioners. Who’d have guessed? Scottish voters replaced The SNP MPs who’d have fought for them not betrayed them. Voting Labour has real life consequences. #ReadMyLips

This would mean just 0.3% of all UK millionaires leaving if taxes on the super-rich go up

How very depressing to see Scotland’s isolation in this map. Stranded in #Brexit Britain.

Many of us thought Labour would do exactly what they're now doing. That said, I know many Scottish voters believed Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar when he swore to voters; "Read my lips. No austerity under a Labour Government. It was a stark, unambiguous promise.
