Tonight I did a little bit of research into why, exactly, the U.S. Government has 1.4 BILLION pounds of cheese stored in a cave deep underneath Springfield, Missouri, & now I’m like “this is a perfect encapsulation of everything that’s wrong with this country.” Fucking CHEESE.

Mick Wallace, leftist member of the European parliament: "Why are we so quiet about challenging the US when they threaten human rights?"

One minute you're helping Douglas Ross with his local election campaign and the next you're appearing on BBC Scotland as an 'ordinary member of the public' concerned about the Scottish NHS. Joyce Young won't be happy that Reporting Scotland left off her OBE from the title.

Amazing expose on Sky News this morning… Have a look at the top earnings made by MPs in their 2nd jobs 3 points: - The blue ones are Tories (obvs) - This may explain why they’ve got no clue about the cost of living crisis - Who TF is paying Chris Grayling to do anything?
