Looks like Andy Burnham has reached the chapter on free personal care in his 'How to Govern Like Scotland' guide book.
Government celebrates saving households £45. Burnham: “£45 off.” Ofgem: “I’ll raise you £60.” Welcome to British energy policy ⚡️
Russell Findlay blames the Scottish Government for failing to make the sun shine... ☀️
I booked a CalMac ferry to Arran yesterday👇

Michael Shanks, Scout Leader & Modern Studies Teacher tells us UK energy is safe in his hands. Meanwhile: Iran hack a UK energy generator taking it offline for four days. Nothing to worry about ⚡️
Labour promised fiscal discipline. Now Labour can't rule out further tax rises. The UK borrowed around £152bn in 2024–25. In the same year, HMRC estimates £59.2bn of tax that should theoretically have been paid wasn't collected - equivalent to nearly 40% of that year's borrowing.
A British fishy deal 🇬🇧 Apparently the rest of the UK buys Scots an “extra 20%” fish supper. 🎣 🏴 Did you get yours???
The BBC Worst City Award goes to... 🏆
Except you open the box and there is no cod. Not even a fish. Just cold, greasy chips. And you very quickly realise you have been over charged for something you didn't get.
Cod we take a moment of your time to set out how public spending works in Scotland? 🐟🍟 From the fiscal framework to the Barnett Formula - Minister for Scotland @melanie_ward explains! @hmtreasury
@fhirinn Latest figures show: 36,500 taxpayers came to Scotland. 29,500 taxpayers left Scotland. Net: +6,500 taxpayers. Net taxable income brought with them: +£160m. That's English Govt. figures, which obviously they are a bit slow with publishing more recent figures. Wonder why...?
MASS EXODUS AT THE BORDER! Latest available figures: Rest of UK → Scotland: 50,200 Scotland → rest of UK: 41,600 Net gain for Scotland: +8,600
Boris Johnson gave China diplomatic consent to use Royal Mint Court in 2018. Most importantly, permission for the new Chinese embassy was granted by Labour in January 2026. Both facts matter. “U don’t seem to like facts” is a bit awkward when you try to bury the ones you don't like.
A £1.5bn Chinese-backed factory bringing 1,500 jobs to Scotland gets the red pen. Meanwhile in London, Labour whips the cover off a giant new Chinese super embassy like it’s the star prize on Bullseye.
MPs 'failing to learn lessons' as freebies acceptance soars to £400,000. Disclosures include £858 worth of tickets to a Harry Styles concert at Wembley by Lucy Powell, now education secretary.
Gotham survived the Joker, the Riddler and Bane. Can Glasgow survive a BBC documentary? BATMAN: “I am vengeance. I am the night. I am… apparently needed in Glasgow. The BBC's most dangerous city in the world” 🦇
Andy Burnham & Keir Starmer flew the UK Government’s VIP Airbus A321, registration G-GBNI at an approximate cost of £14,000 PER HOUR. The Government published these G-GBNI travel costs earlier in 2026: Starmer to Cork: £40,519.26 in travel costs. Starmer to Munich: £44,404.16. Starmer to Helsinki: £79,630.98. Starmer to the Women’s Euro 2025 final in Basel, accompanied by his wife and 10 officials: £60,130 Simply taking Cork, tracking records show roughly 2 hrs 56 mins of G-GBNI flying associated with the trip. For Helsinki, roughly 5 hrs 26 mins. That works out at roughly: Cork: £13,813 per airborne hour Helsinki: £14,656 per airborne hour Apply that observed range to Burnham's 2 hrs 8 mins of aircraft movements: Estimated cost: £29,469–£31,266.
Live footage from the Scottish Labour leadership contest. One loser, fighting another loser, to decide who is the greatest loser.
And you want to lead Scotland? Staggering you don't know what this is. £67bn of pension assets presented as though it’s spare cash waiting for a politician to “put to work”. No. Surprise, surprise. It’s invested to PAY PEOPLE’S PENSIONS. Imagine you were in charge. Scotland needs a First Minister, not someone eyeing up the retirement fund like a government overdraft.
Who's a clever wee cookie... eh 🍩 I don't mind MSP's who win elections having expenses. Particularly leaders of a country, representing the country around the world. Russel Findlay didn't even stand. Does he not have expenses? Yet complains about those who won? Hypocrisy is astounding. Todd is one correct, one of 58 who won. All parties % of list MSP's are: Reform 100% Labour 82% Greens 87% Conservatives 67% Liberal Democrats 30% SNP 2% Some 80% lost the constituency vote. Lost = losers. Who did they lose too??? We can all see where the scams are... Maybe time for FPTP in true British style eh? 🏴💙👋
