John Swinney, who is the third SNP First Minister in three years, claims that six Prime Ministers in 10 years makes the case for independence.

Hiking national insurance
The Family Farm Tax
Giving up on real welfare reform
Not funding our defence
Not drilling our own oil and gas
Appointing Peter Mandelson…then lying about what had happened

Britain is not ungovernable. Keir Starmer is a terrible Prime Minister. But the problem isn’t just Starmer.

Labour MPs only want higher taxes to hand out more benefits, as the Welfare Secretary has pointed out. These are Labour’s choices and their values, regardless of who is running the party.

We need to get Britain working again. We need the @Conservatives.

[Lachlan Bruce @LachlanBruce]

Collective responsibility going well…

[Michael Shanks MP @mgshanks]

Where’s Bagehot when you need him.

We elect a Parliament and whoever commands a majority within that Parliament is Prime Minister.

Let’s use Parliamentary time to improve the country.

Thank god for Bill and so many more like him.

Southern Ireland really has torched its reputation over the last few years.

[Cllr Iain Gall @GallIain]

I was glad to vote against Angus Council taking an extra days holiday at a cost of £650k to the tax payer. If 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 win the World Cup, fair enough, but simply for qualifying it’s a joke and an expensive joke. Want a day off, take a days holiday.

[Lachlan Bruce @LachlanBruce]

These are welcome and bold moves by the new PO. Hopefully only the start of reform in the Scottish Parliament.

[Craig Meighan @craigymeighan]

Big changes to Holyrood: FMQs to happen twice per week, one for backbenchers, one for party leaders. Questions can't be published in advance. Labour and Reform to swap for first place, Tories and LibDems may do same for last place. Kenny Gibson says 'status quo' not an option.

[Al Murray 🇺🇦 @almurray]

I remember a conversation ten years ago about banning fracking with someone very pro the ban, and I said but isn’t the worth that then we end up relying on nice Mr Putin for fuel, he hadn’t considered it at all, and then shrugged.

Shoulder to shoulder but not like that

Club breaking the rules punished.

It will never catch on.

[EFL Communications @EFL_Comms]

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training.

In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.

The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

And we will really shake up when we win the World Cup...

Or meekly draw 0-0 with Haiti.

Here it is, Scotland's World Cup squad! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Lachlan Bruce @LachlanBruce]

This is a utterly ridiculous situtation.

Being an MP is not a joke, its not a game, it is a serious job & the people he was elected to represent deserve a lot better.

They are taking the piss out of the people of Makerfield & I wouldn't be surprised if they bite back.

Celtic winning the title in appropriately shameful fashion.

[Lord BJK @TrongateTramps]

The perfect ending to this season.
At least two Scottish officials see this hit a Rangers players arm.
What a joke.

[Lachlan Bruce @LachlanBruce]

It says a lot about our political class that they are resigning over poor electoral performance, and not over the appointment of a known pedophile's best friend, against the advice of the security service.

Better politician pundit than linesman.

[Stewart McDonald @StewartMcDonald]

Whisper it: @Douglas4Moray is actually quite a good political pundit 👍🏻

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

I genuinely don't understand what happens to people when they enter Government. Starmer has some really smart people around him. But how do grown adults sit in a room and say "We need to communicate change" then say with the next breath "Let's wheel out Harriet and Gordon".

[Lachlan Bruce @LachlanBruce]

That’ll get the public back on his side.

[Calgie @christiancalgie]

Keir Starmer has appointed Harriet Harman as the Prime Minister’s Adviser on Women and Girls.
