@RedBrickz26 @Maureen6Johnson@magnusllewellin @SundayTimesSco They are duped by the SNP spin machine.

Lucy Powell has branded X as ‘toxic'.
The same Lucy Powell who dismissed discussing the Pakistani rape gangs as “dog whistle”.
The same Lucy who initially sided with the thugs against the officers after the Manchester Airport incident.
Labour MPs like Lucy are toxic, not X.
Egypt forgot how to build the pyramids.
Rome forgot how to build the aqueducts. Some still carry water today. What they built still stands. Neither civilization remembers how they did it.
Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.”
Musk: “And the Romans, they built these incredible aqueducts. They forgot how to do it.”
No army invaded them. The knowledge just stopped getting used, and the moment it did, it was gone.
Same collapse. Compressed into fifty years instead of a thousand.
Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon… Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.”
Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.”
Capability doesn’t sit in a vault. It only exists inside the people doing the work right now.
The second they stop, it doesn’t pause.
It disappears.
That should not scare you. It should focus you.
Nobody loses a civilization to war. They lose it the moment they stop building.
Nobody is owed the future. It belongs to whoever keeps building it.
Future PM Andy Burnham enjoyed a full parliamentary coronation today, complete with all the socialist trimmings.
Labour seem utterly besotted with their new messiah and his promised reckoning for Britain.
{satire}
Nothing says confidence in my team like asserting it wisnae them because they were only the party in government and saying they lost a court case because they were only following the law.
What on earth is it like in his pro-regime chat groups? We are doomed.
@GBPolitcs When is the report on paint drying due out? We need something to look forward to that is more interesting than Starmer and his stupid virtue signalling- UK history-pensioners-energy-growth-hating policies.
Kemi Badenoch declared that the Aberdeen South by-election was going to be a referendum on our oil and gas industry.
The election of the Conservative candidate Douglas Lumsden – on almost 50% of the vote – proved her right.
Douglas has spent two decades working in the oil and gas industry, so he knows more than most what is at stake because of Labour’s ban on new licences and the crippling taxes they are imposing on the sector.
We are losing a thousand jobs a month as Labour’s policies take their toll.
Families are making the agonising calculation of whether to uproot and move abroad, or stay and watch as the industry that built their city is suffocated by a government that has decided it is worth sacrificing on the altar of Net Zero.
Aberdonians can see that just on the other side of the North Sea, the Norwegian oil and gas sector is thriving.
Norway is drilling new wells, reopening old fields, and making new discoveries – including some which butt right up against the border they share with us.
Only someone as deluded as Ed Miliband could think that oil and gas deposits respect geopolitical borders drawn down the middle of the North Sea.
The truth is that none of this matters to Ed.
He doesn’t care about the thousands of people who are losing their jobs, or the fact that we are becoming more dependent on foreign imports with higher emissions and harming our economy.
He doesn’t engage with any of the arguments. He is much more comfortable repeating tired old slogans about 'climate leadership' and 'green jobs’.
This is an ideological crusade and nothing will make him admit he is wrong.
Which is why the result in Makerfield should concern us as much as Aberdeen encourages us.
Andy Burnham is now in Parliament – and the job destroyer-in-chief is reportedly set to be rewarded with a promotion to Chancellor.
Given the damage he has already done to Aberdeen and other vital industries like refining, chemicals, and ceramics, the prospect of Ed Miliband being put in charge of the British economy should fill every family with dread.
The result in Aberdeen South was a vote to return to energy realism.
It was a vote to end Labour’s mad ban on new licences, scrap the taxes that are crippling the industry, and to finally give the go-ahead to the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields that have been sat on Ed Miliband’s desk gathering dust for a year.
That is the argument that Douglas will make as he takes his seat in Parliament this week, and it is the argument that the Conservatives will continue to make at every opportunity.
Britain’s problem is not that it needs a more “relatable” PM. It is that we are spending five times more on social security than national security, and that no politician wants to take the unpopular decisions needed to restore our public finances.
@Fox_Claire@Linda03Reed Ever the dictator, ever the imposter, devoid of empathy and bereft of personality. We have been well and truly screwed by this sad lonely incompetent marxist fan boy in office.
@afneil Labour is controlled by a cabal of chancer armchair marxists driven by smug virtual signalling idealogy and deflection from the truth.
Labour and Homework is a contradiction in terms surely?
