I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

Andy Burnham wants to be Prime Minister but he won’t answer questions.

He’s terrified of being exposed.

If you want somebody who has a plan and will answer questions, you can come to me.

We're looking for a new home for Sprite.

She is a beautiful 2 year old female Cane Corso.

Sprite's owner is really unwell at the moment and sadly cannot look after her anymore.
He was admitted to hospital, however discharged himself when no one could help look after Sprite.

He doesn't have family nearby sadly and has exhausted all avenues and now wishes to find Sprite a home with someone who is active and can be there for her.

Sprite is great natured and likes to meet people. She has been around children (7+ due to her size please) and dogs her own size. She can be wary of small dogs.
A home with no cats is best.

Sprite has not been in a car that much. She eats Asda Hero wet and dry food, she isn't keen on any other food and does not get chicken as she is allergic to chicken flavoured foods.

Sprite turned 2 years old in Feb 2026. She is house trained and listens to commands.
She will sit at the road side and go to her bed when told.

Ideally she would suit someone who has a garden and has experience of bigger dogs.
Spite is also registered at the vets.

If you could offer a home please email [email protected] with some information about yourself and the home you can offer.
A home check will be done first.

We cover the whole of Scotland.
Please email [email protected] for any information.

We don't accept private messages to this page.

If you can't offer Sprite a new home please share her appeal to help her on her way.

Yes. And I will 💅

A lady asked an old street vendor, "How much do you charge for your eggs?" The old man replied, "0.50 cents per egg, ma'am." The lady replied, "I'll take 6 eggs for 2.00 dollars or I'll leave." The old vendor replied, "Buy them at the price you want, miss. This is a good start for me, because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to make a living."

She bought her eggs at a bargain and left feeling like she'd won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered whatever they wanted. They ate some of what they ordered and left much of it behind. So they paid the bill of 150 dollars. The ladies gave 200 dollars and told the owner of the fancy restaurant to keep the change as a tip.

This story might seem very normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is:
Why do we always have to show that we have power when we buy from people in need?
And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity?

We once read somewhere that a father bought goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn't need these things. Sometimes he paid more. His children were amazed. One day they asked him, "Why do you do that, Dad?" The father replied, "It's charity, wrapped in dignity."

I know that most of you won't share this post, but if you're one of the people who took the time to read this far...
Then this message of an attempt at "humanity" has taken a step in the right direction.

Thanks for reading.

BREAKING NEWS: “Starmer denies knowing he was Prime Minister”

Sir Kier Starmer has revealed that no one told him until last Tuesday he won the 2024 election and had become PM.

He told Beth Rigby “I was totally kept in the dark by my officials. I’m really angry about it.”

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

BREAKING NEWS (with the potential to be massive):
The Guardian reveals Peter Mandelson failed advanced security vetting before becoming US ambassador.
He was initially denied developed vetting clearance in January 2025 - weeks after Keir Starmer had officially announced his appointment.
Foreign Office was ‘encouraged’ to deploy a rarely-used power to override the recommendation from security officials.
The Government promised total transparency on the Mandelson affair after MPs forced it to release of a batch of documents about the process. But nothing it has released reveals this startling fact.
Indeed, Starmer has always insisted Mandelson was subject to 'security vetting, carried out independently by the security services, which is an intensive exercise that gave him clearance for the role'.
