@NavyLookout@DanJarvisMBE@JohnHealey_MP Suspect Dan is a canny operator and wouldnt be in the least surprised if he used this to further his political career (ie will find a way to turn this back on PM/Treasury). Why else would you accept such contraints and ill will across the spectrum.
@FraserNelson Tories propose attacking welfare over net zero. Labour dogmatic net zero priority over defence. You both broke defence - its no wonder both Labour and Tories are now considered to be truly awful choices.
@jonsopel I would dearly love to ask America if this is who they truly are ? Does America accept that this classless man who they chose as President represents the worst that politocs and society has to offer ?
@allenanalysis It's a truly awful state of affairs when the world views the US as dangerous, easily led halfwits. This is proof, if proof is required, that the world is justified in that view.
@afneil Fully agree but widepread perception is ther are no acceptable alternatives - Labour are truly awful, Lib Dems don't count and Tories/Reform (same thing) are just the worst. This all amounts the free pass for incompetent SNP.
@afneil So, this Labour Govt has proven itself every bit as awful and incompetent as many feared. They can't be allowed to continue - but (and it's a huge but) - what's the alternative ? It's certainly not the Tories and absolutely not Reform. Lib Dems don't count.
@kevverage We need the likes of Sarwar etc to pivot from droning on continually about how "Scotland needs change" to actually delivering this quality of vital information
@afneil@DailyMail The scariest thing in all of this, plus the absolute litany of examples of poor performance from this administration, is the complete dearth of any kind of any kind of competent alteratives. We are close to achieving Trump-level populism selection.
