About to sign off work for the year and going to take a break from here as well. So here is a picture of Lil'Wiggles as a placeholder to see everyone through for a couple of weeks. Have the best time when it comes.

This is why we need rent controls- increases well over inflation.

Maybe sit this one out. There's a housing crisis in Scotland because Thatcher sold over half a million social homes through rtb and 14 years of Con austerity. Despite your cuts SNP govt have built affordable homes at twice the rate per capita of Tory+Coalition Governments.

This is what is happening under the SNP’s watch👇 Kids and adults alike forced to spend YEARS waiting on a permanent home because of the nationalists’ inaction. The SNP need to ditch their failed policies and deliver a proper plan to provide the homes Scotland needs.

I know I say this most weeks but turn Rampage to a dedicated woman's show. There is more than enough talent to make it work and IMO done right it could be the standout show. Also make @jmehytr the face of the show she could totally carry the division...literally and figurative


There's plenty of anti semitism out there but the seriousness of it is undermined by actors such as the state of Israel who use it to defend the indefensible and criticise impartial international agencies

"That's an outrageous lie by Israel." The ICC arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu is "not anti-Semitic", says leading human rights lawyer and former UN war crimes judge Geoffrey Robertson KC.

Well done Iona. Some of the vile abuse you have received from unionist trolls and right wing newspapers has been truly disgusting. You have shown them in the best possible way.

Let me get this straight: Jeremy Clarkson bought land to avoid paying inheritance tax on his millions. Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson promised Brexit would save farmers & fishers, but it ruined them. And now they're all claiming to represent the interests of struggling farmers?

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax. Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years. This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

The age of identity politics is over. What has divided society has always been class. It could be argued that dividing the working class into smaller subsections was the establishment game. Voters don’t care about identity – politicalbetting.com
