When I was young, I had everything handed to me on a plate. Soup was a nightmare.
'To fumble one political party launch, Ms Sultana may be regarded as a misfortune; to fumble twice looks like carelessness.’ – James Cleverly, Tory shadow minister, mocks the confusion around the name of the new political party launched by Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn.
The Office for Budget Responsibility reports that a record number of farms have shut this year after the government reneged on its promise not to remove inheritance tax relief for farming families.
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds has ruled out ‘daft’ proposals for a wealth tax from backbenchers on Labour’s left.
Why is everyone in Scotland having a photo taken alongside Sandie Peggie except me?
I do not know what Boswell plans to do once this case is over ("architecture" of some sort, apparently) but his summaries will be missed. The summaries are always excellent and, for those of us who need to see the detail, help us to know where in the evidence we should dive in.
Thanks for all your work, followed.
The tide is turning in Scotland. @ReformUKScot is only 7 points behind the SNP – a rise no one can ignore. Change is coming, and we’re just getting started. Scotland is on the brink of a political earthquake🏴🇬🇧

So I assume the police will now be called to NHS Fife by the CEO to investigate the evidence photoshopper. This gets more delicious by the minute. Time for a spring clean of every state funded agency.
If tomorrow’s front pages aren’t awash with exclamation marks - people need sacking.
If only Dundee United would... 1 Stop winning aerial duels and then heading it to the opposition 2 Cross the ball instead of beating your opponent *3* times 3 Try to pass to a teammate rather than their opponents They would have won 3-0 last night @dundeeunitedfc @dufcway
Why do Scottish Nationalists ALWAYS support the dregs of human society? Stop lying about 'genocide', 'starvation' and casualty numbers, stop supporting Jew-murdering terrorists and Release. The. Hostages.
Time for the United Kingdom to do likewise. All possible pressure must be brought to bear on the Israeli government to cease their unconscionable behaviour in Gaza. Has the world learned nothing from when it stood by & did nothing to prevent genocide in Bosnia?
I've got only one thing to say to Jane Russell KC...... !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!!
James Borthwick, IT expert, says changes, additions and edits made to emails after the date they were originally written means the notes are not contemporaneous.
The only thing wrong at Tannadice last evening was the idiot(s) setting off flares. They should be identified and barred.
There needs to be a public enquiry into the going’s on @wesstreeting - of a real lack of professionalism, transparency & process at @nhsfife They appear from court paperwork trails worryingly unfit for purpose based on documentation withheld or fudged, policy copied from other…
Galloway is bonkers.
Imagine being this mad about food
Will Peggie Sue?
The possibility of further action by Ms. Peggie against various individuals at NHS Fife grow daily. Defamation. Conspiracy to Injure. Harassment (Civil and Criminal) Professional Misconduct (GMC) Great stuff.

Day 8 | AM Session | Peggie v NHS Fife & Dr Upton 🧨"The Notes That Weren’t There: Forensic Impossibilities at the Heart of the Peggie Case" At the centre of today’s testimony was a simple, disquieting question: could the notes that formed the basis of allegations against…
It is absolutely abhorrent for a male-bodied doctor to purposefully enter the female nurses changing room and expect them to undress in front of him.
It is absolutely abhorrent for a professional barrister to purposefully misgendering someone in a public hearing. Dr Beth Upton is female and uses she/her pronouns.
If only NHS Fife had a head of human resources who could have stepped in to save taxpayers hundreds of thousands of pounds by resolving the Sandie Peggie/Dr Upton case before it reached court. It does, of course: David Miller, hired on a salary of up to £107,000 a year. 🧵
1/ Peggie v NHS Fife & Dr Upton: the case that asks – can a nurse be penalised for stating what everyone in the changing room can see? Spoiler: only if Equality Act protections no longer apply when someone’s feelings are involved.
