The right thing for Andy Burnham to do is to stand in Aberdeen South or Arbroath and Broughty Ferry when Stephen Flynn and Stephen Gethins step down from the Commons
Then he can also stand for the Scottish Labour leadership
I, for one, think the Prime Minister's decision to appoint the ghost of Robin Cook as his special envoy to the nations and regions is a canny political move for which he deserves substantial credit. Should really freshen the whole thing up.
I am tired.
Tired of war.
Tired of anger.
Tired of death.
Tired of lives lost.
Tired of hope destroyed.
Tired of unnecessary grief.
Tired of the destruction of well-being.
Tired of forced migration.
Tired of tears.
Tired of children living in tents, denied the childhood they deserve.
I am tired of the political excuses offered for war.
I am tired of racial hatred.
I am tired of human lust for power wrapped up in theocracy.
I am tired of talk of defence that excuses aggression.
I am tired of biased reporting
I am tired of being told that people who have died on one side of a dispute are lives lost and that on the other, they are just killed.
I am tired of a failure to recognise that any life lost unnecessarily is just that: it is a life lost unnecessarily.
I am tired of the belief that war will ever solve anything.
I am tired of the assumption that after war everything will go back to normal.
I am tired of the cost of conflict always being borne by anyone but those who started it.
I am tired of those who think we donโt have a duty of care to everyone, whoever they are, wherever they come from, whatever they believe, whatever their skin colour, whatever their gender, whatever their age.
I am tired of those who think that others donโt matter.
Most of all, I am tired of those who destroy hope,
I live in hope.
Hope of a better day.
Hope of a better life for everyone.
Hope that I might live to see that.
Hope that everyone might then share hope.
Is that too much to hope for?
Gavin Newsom(Governor California): "I can't take this complicity... I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders... this is pathetic..."
@strictlyblog I wanted to say though that I thought the judges stony faces were a bit disrespectful to the folk who got through. The public get to vote and no one is guaranteed not to get into the dance off. I felt that was a bit harsh. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

Incredible school drop off this morning; all the kids in my sons class chatting about the football surrounded by a lot of parents hungover and a couple still pished. One for the ages.
